Who is it?

[red750]

I received an email with about a dozen on it. Some you'd have to be American to know, but here's the first which someone might guess.

Yul Brinner 

 

[red750]

Very good Gareth. How about this one?

 

[gareth lacey]

Gene Hackman

[red750]

Right again Gareth. Did you get the same email that I received?

[red750]

[old man emu]

Can't remember his name, but he's murder in Midsomer.

[gareth lacey]

John Nettles and didnt get the email, i just remember actors of my vintage (old that is ) lol

 

[red750]

Yes, you are right.  DCI Tom Barnaby. I thought he might be a bit difficult to guess.

[old man emu]

It was his mouth shape that gave him away to me.

Somebody Delaney?

Just looking at the signature. 

[red750]

Ignore the signature.

Gee, we're going back multiple decades now, into the entertainment mob! I believe that's Irene Hervey, she's a bit of a stunner, with near perfect facial features.

Her acting career spanned a vast number of films (some of which you may have heard of, or even watched!) - and she also went into TV in the early days.

She was very badly injured in a car accident in 1943 and took 5 years off acting to recover - although she did act in one stage play during 1944.

Her last acting part was playing the elderly radio station owner Madge, in Clint Eastwoods "Play Misty for Me", in 1971.

You're half right, onetrack. It's Irene Ryan, best known as Granny Moses in the Beverly Hillbillies. If you do an image search for Irene Ryan, the sepia photo comes up a number of times.

Who would have guessed.  Reminds me of me at 21 compared to the person I see in the mirror these days. Big difference and not for the better.

The sepia photo IS of Irene Hervey. She has signed her name on the lower RH corner. If the sepia photo comes up on a number of sites as Irene Ryan, then those sites have the wrong photo for a younger Irene Ryan. IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is your best source for this stuff. The older lady IS Irene Ryan.

That expression looks like Smokin' Joe Hockey to me.

[red750]

It's Mickey Rooney.
