Purcell Q: I am so glad that "Prison Break" is back for its second season. I am also happy that the show has been featured in so many magazines, newspapers and Web sites. However, most of the articles seem to focus on Wentworth Miller ("Michael Scofield"). Could you please tell me a little about my favorite inmate, Dominic Purcell ("Lincoln Burrows")? -- A Reader, via e-mail

A: The ruggedly handsome Purcell, 36, was born in London and raised in Australia. He uses an American accent for his role on "Break" and says that he is beginning to lose his Australian accent (much to his Australian-born wife's chagrin!). Purcell and wife Rebecca have four children: Joe, Audrey and twins Lily and Augustus. If his face looks familiar, it might be because he played the title role in 2002's "John Doe," although he did have a bit more hair at the time. In the it's-a-small-world category, Purcell was classmates with Hugh Jackman at the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts.

Q: Do either David James Elliott or Catherine Bell (of "JAG" fame) have plans for new programs? -- Cathy S., Greenville, S.C.

A: Elliott's pilot "Sixty Minute Man" -- a drama about a man who thinks he might be part of a government conspiracy when he realizes that his memory is erased for one hour each day -- was not picked up by ABC for the fall. But never fear: Elliott has returned to CBS, joining the cast of the drama "Close to Home." Catherine Bell is currently starring in CBS' "Company Town," with Sherry Stringfield ("ER") and Gary Cole ("Talladega Nights").

Q: I have a question. Back in the late 1940s I remember a movie called "To Each His Own." It was a love story, but I cannot remember who played in it or exactly what it was about. Also, was there a song by that name? -- Betty V., via e-mail

A: "To Each His Own" was released in 1946 and starred Olivia de Havilland, Mary Anderson, Roland Culver and John Lund. De Havilland won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as a small-town girl who has an illegitimate son by a World War I fighter pilot. She tries to keep his birth a secret, but loses him to another family who adopts him, and spends her life loving him from afar. "To Each His Own" is also the title song to the movie. Five versions of the song were released in 1946, with three versions reaching No. 1.

Q: On the TV show "Sanford and Son," what happened to the red pickup truck? -- Holly M., via e-mail

A: The early '50s Ford pickup that Fred and Lamont drove is still functional and is used by its owner, Donald Dimmitt of Dimmitt's Auto Salvage, a real-life junk yard in Indiana.
