Q. Who is the beautiful actress who plays Angelique Marick in "All My Children"? What else has she done? Where can I write to her? - B.C.M., Detroit.
A. That's Season (real name Susan) Hubley, 41, and she's still probably best known for playing Priscilla Presley in the 1979 TV movie "Elvis." Kurt Russell was Elvis and the two married shortly after. They've since divorced. They're parents of Boston, now 12. Hubley made her movie debut in 1972 in "The Lolly Madonna War." Other credits include the features "Hardcore," "Escape from New York," "Vice Squad"; a recurring role in the TV series "Family"; and TV movies "Under the Influence," "Unspeakable Acts" and "The Key to Rebecca." Write: ABC-TV, 77 W. 66th St., New York, NY 10023.Q. I enjoy watching Winona Ryder's movies. Tell me about her: birthday, when she started acting. I heard she's married to Johnny Depp. - R.S., Derby, N.Y.
A. Ryder will be 21 on Oct. 29. She was born Winona Laura Horowitz in San Fransisco, raised by free-thinking parents who took her out of school to start acting classes when she was 13. She and Depp co-starred in "Edward Scissorhands" and got engaged last year, but don't seem to be in a hurry to get married.
Q. Did the late Robert Morley have a cooking or chef-type TV show? How long did it run? - R.M.S., Thornton, Colo.
A. Britain's Morley was better known for enjoying good food than preparing it. In fact, that was one of his roles: as the world's leading gourmet, in 1978's "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe."
Q. Who was the black singer of years ago who was made famous by his rendition of "That Old Black Magic?" Half the people in our retirement village are trying to remember. - K.B., Lakehurst, N.J.
A. That was Billy Daniels,who was 73 when he died in 1988. Daniels' recording of "Magic" sold over 12 million copies and he once estimated he sang it over 25,000 times.
Q. I recently caught an old movie, "The Trouble with Harry," starring Edmund Gwenn and a very young Shirley MacLaine and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The leading man was not listed but it looked like a very young John Forsythe and it sounded like him. - R.M., Buffalo, N.Y.
A. You must have blinked during the credit roll. Forsythe had second billing in the 1955 Hitchcock comedy. It was MacLaine's movie debut and she was young, 21, but at 37, Forsythe wasn't all that young.
Q. Was Katy Juardo ever considered a leading lady in the movie world? In addition to "High Noon," what other movies did she make? - P.H.R., Navarre, Ohio.
A. Jurado was a leading lady in her native Mexico and played leads in several of her U.S. and European features. But supporting roles often are more meaty than the leads and Jurado made her greatest impressions in supporting roles in "Noon," and "One-Eyed Jacks," among her many credits.
Q. Where can I write the soaps "The Guiding Light" and "All My Children"? - S.C., Philadelphia.
A. Write "The Guiding Light," CBS-TV, 51 W. 52nd St., New York, NY 10019. For "All My Children," see above.
Q. Tell me what Harrison Ford's real name is. I once heard it but I forget it. - R.S., Wilmette, Ill.
A. It's Harrison Ford.
Q. Is John Corbett, the DJ on "Northern Exposure," really more attracted to music than acting?
A. Corbett has put together a country-rock band, but he says it's mainly a hobby. "My goal isn't to get famous from singing," declares Corbett, who grew up listening to hillbilly jamborees in hometown Wheeling, W. Va. "The singing is just for me." The former welder, pipe-fitter and hairdresser might expect to showcase his musical interests, however, because he has a face cameras like. He has made the rounds of hip commercials lately, and his on-screen exposure is growing. Still, Corbett likes to keep everything business. "My private life is private," he says, declining to reveal his age. He will say he lives alone with his cat Lotus in an apartment outside Seattle. "If I had a girlfriend, I would say so, but I wouldn't tell you her name."
Q. Whatever happened to Betty Thomas, the former "Hill Street Blues" cop?
A. Thomas has found a highly successful career behind the camera as a television director. Her recent work can be seen on HBO's trendy "Dream On" series.
Q. Has Jerry Van Dyke always lived in his brother Dick's shadow?
A. Certainly Jerry has had a family reputation to live up to, but currently he is the star of a TV series, not his older brother. While the popular '60s sitcom "The Dick Van Dyke Show" is playing reruns on Nickelodeon, Jerry is a star of ABC's hit series "Coach." His portrayal of the perpetually befuddled Luther Van Dam has earned him three Emmy nominations. At 60, he has been busy in television since guest-starring on his brother's show in 1962. He also performs his standup act in Atlantic City and Las Vegas and retreats to his working ranch in Arkansas.
Q. Does Katie Couric really commute from Washington to pull off her popular appearances on NBC's "Today" show?
A. Talk about juggling. Couric and her year-old daughter Ellie live in New York with a nanny during the week, when spouse Jay Monahan, a Washington-based lawyer, occasionally comes to visit. They reunite on weekends in D.C. or at their Virginia farmhouse. Couric, 35, says she would like to have a second child soon. Meanwhile, she's safely ensconced at "Today" with a five-year contract (reportedly at $1 million-plus annually). Fortunately she clicked with testy Bryant Gumbel. "The way to get along with Bryant is, to do your homework, don't let him drown and he won't let you . . . I didn't want to be this sidekick who sort of giggled and did the features. And furthermore, I don't think the American people at this point in time, mercifully, would tolerate that."
Q. Having seen and enjoyed "Death Takes a Holiday" many years ago, I looked forward to seeing it again recently. To my surprise, it was not the movie I remembered. The movie I saw before took place in an American contemporary setting, possibly with Lionel Barrymore starring. A friend remembers it as I do and thinks that Death was caught up a tree. Explain. - C.M., Aurora, Colo.
A. That's the trouble with changing the original title, sometimes to avoid duplication when a new version is produced, sometimes to make it more palatable or attract the audience. What you saw actually was "On Borrowed Time," a 1939 movie fantasy based on a hit play. In it, grandfather Barrymore keeps Mr. Brink (Death) at bay by chasing him up an apple tree and keeping him there until he can be assured of his grandson's future. "Death Takes a Holiday" is the actual title of a 1934 fantasy and its 1971 TV remake, in which death comes to earth in human form to find out why people don't want to die.
Q. What has happened to the child actor of the '30s who always played a part that required him to cry? I think his name was Bob Watson. - J.M., Pt. Pleasant Boro, N.J.
A. It was Watson who was the grandson in "On Borrowed Time" (see above). One of nine young Watsons who acted at one time or another in the movies, he was the most successful. He started as a baby in movie short subjects, graduated to features with "In Old Chicago." His second role was as the weeping Pud in "Boys Town." Although he continued to act as an adult, he retired in 1967 when he was ordained a United Methodist minister.
Q. I'd appreciate some information on Keanu Reeves: how he got started, age, where he was born. - W.D.C., Macon, Ga.
A. Reeves is 27, born in Beirut. He grew up in Toronto, where he attended the High School of Performing Arts. His family background is English on his mom's side, Chinese-Hawaiian on his dad's. He started acting in Toronto at 17. Three years later, he landed in California and in the movie "River's Edge."
Q. Years ago Doris Day made a movie with Jack Carson (I think he got the girl) and the other male lead was Lee Bowman. It's the movie in which she sang "It's Magic." I'd like the tape. - P.M., Plymouth, Mich.
A. "Magic" is from the score of Day's first movie, 1947's "Romance on the High Seas." She had fourth billing. Carson's rival in that was Don DeFore. Bowman was Carson's rival for Day in 1949's "My Dream Is Yours." Both "Romance" and "Dream" have been issued on tape.
Q. My husband and I need help in this: I say George Burns is older than Bob Hope. He says the opposite. What are their ages? - M.M., Phenix City, Ala.
A. Nobody's older than George Burns - he says so himself. He'll be 97 next Jan. 20. And intends to break 100. He's already booked London's Paladium to do a show then. Hope was a mere 89 last May 29.
Q. My boyfriend and I argue every time we watch "Days of Our Lives." He says the guy who plays Tanner on "DOOL" is the same person who played Kevin on "Mr. Belvedere." I say he's wrong. - T.S., Modesta Canyon, Calif.
A. He is. Rob Stone played Kevin; Michael Easton was Tanner. He's departed "DOOL," which was his first major acting job. He asked to be released from his contract. He's got an NBC-TV movie, "Nighttide," coming up and figures it'll lead to bigger and better things than a soap.
Q. I know I've seen the person who plays the photographer Blade on "The Young and the Restless" but for the life of me I can't remember where. What has he done before? - A.C., Harmonton, N.J.
A. That's former Detroiter Michael Tylo and he's a soap opera regular. He made his TV debut in "Another World" as Peter Belton; went on to spend four years as Quint Chamberlain in "The Guiding Light" and two years as Matt Connelly on "All My Children," where he met his wife, Hunter Tylo, now seen on "The Bold and the Beautiful." He joined "Y and R" in February 1992. He was Dee Boot in the miniseries "Lonesome Dove."
