“PAWS, CLAWS & CLOSEUPS: HOLLYWOOD’S FAMOUS ANIMAL STARS” - 8/31/2026 (155/14)
From RIN TIN TIN to LASSIE to TRIGGER, to TONTO, from the 1974 film "Harry and Tonto," who can resist those cute, furry little nuggets who can straight-out steal a scene right out from under the most trained Shakespearean thespian with the wag of a tail, the flop of an ear, or the purr of a cry? In this episode, Steve and Nan explore some of the four-legged stars who have won the hearts of millions during the classic era of film.
