His parents were circus acrobats and he became part of their act. When they changed to vaudeville and wound up in California, he got a job in the movies. The founder of Universal Pictures, Carl Laemmle changed his name to Lake. In silent films he played somewhat dimwitted youngsters, The long-running part of Dagwood in the "Blondie" series pretty much continued the the pattern into adult life. He and Penny Singleton also appeared in a half-hour "Blondie" radio series which ran from 1939 to 1950, airing on CBS, ABC and finally on NBC. The program's stylized opening line, delivered by Bill Goodwin became famous: "Uh-uh-uh. Don't touch that dial. It's time for ...[Lake:] Blond-dee".- Geraldine didn't like the sound of her birth name for acting purposes so with her then agent Richard Stone, changed it to Trudi Van Doorn. This worked well for the number of comedy TV roles she was offered and enjoyed the work, particularly The Benny Hill Show franchise,Danger UXB, The Avengers and BBc's Are You Being Served. She was an excellent strong singer with a wide range, and in her own words a reasonably good dancer. Self deprecation was her usual way of coping. Truth was she was a first class dancer and had a powerful voice. She played Sheila in the original London West End production of Chorus Line, changing her professional Equity name to Geraldine Gardner she then almost immediately landed the part of Bombalurina in the original London production of Cats. Earlier in her career she was pencilled in for the role of Purdey in The Avengers but Joanna Lumley won that role. Her list of TV credits is extensive but you just have to look for three different names. One thing is certain her original birth name was never ever used by her professionally in Film, TV, and Theatre roles.

Pierre-Louis, does this name remind you of anything? Most probably not. And yet this affable unpretentious actor has played in no fewer than sixty films, debuting at the tender age of 14. But as he was too sweet and humble a person to impose himself he remained just another actor, likable but transparent, and none of his roles stands out in memory. And yet, the first two characters he embodied when he was a teen were for famed German director Georg Wilhelm Pabst. And yet, he played a major part in one of the best French 'resistance films' of the postwar period "Le bataillon du ciel", directed by 'Alexandre Esway'. And yet he was fine as the French officer in SS disguise in the excellent Fernandel vehicle "La vache et le prisonnier" (1959). On the other hand, what a lot of mediocre movies he took part in, particularly between 1948 and 1952. Being in idiotic 'Jean de Létraz' adaptations did not restore his reputation nor did his roles in a series low-grade commercial films by such undistinguished directors as René Sti, Jean-Paul Paulin, Jean Gourguet, René Jayet, Alfred Rode or Henri Lepage. Pierre-Louis even directed three pictures in the early 1950s, nothing to be ashamed of but the result was nothing more than three lackluster crime movies that left no imprint whatsoever. Feeling he would never be the great actor everybody craves to see on the big screen, Pieer-Louis gradually gave up his acting career and turned to radio and TV, successfully teaming with Pierre Tchernia for three popular programs 'Mardi Cinéma", 'Monsieur Cinéma' and 'Ces messieurs vous disent'.- Actor
