Who Is This?
In the same vein as the 'Where Is This?' thread, which is a spin-off of the 'What Is This?' thread, I gleefully present you with 'Who Is This?'
We'll rule out TinEye and drag'n'drop Google Image searches right off. You can still use words to do a Google Image search, though I'm not sure how you'd go about it.
So, without further ado;
Who is the gentleman on the left?

Gotta be Steven Hawking
edit: Stephen
I know - but then I bookmarked the article after I'd read it yesterday!
I know this without searching.
I won't spoil it for the rest though.
ETA - damn
OK. Here's a hard one.
Which old gent is allowed to smoke on a plane?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that picture turns into a meme with different stuff written on the card. Except the meme kids won't know who he is.
I know, I know!
Chap who should be old enough to know better.
Do I get a cigar?

Another from the same Cracked.com article...
Who is this?
[ATTACH]38717[/ATTACH]
That's a tough one. Charlie Chaplin? Harry Houdini?
I think that is my favourite picture from the article. It makes me want to throw away all my old Che T-shirts, Koba is the man!
Looks like Skeet Ulrich. :yum:
Che, huh?
It's not him, but that was enough of a clue.
That thick haired dude is Stalin.
good one!
You know, looking at his google pics, Stalin was not one of those people who look like older versions of their younger selves. He looks completely different!
Che, huh?
It's not him, but that was enough of a clue.
That thick haired dude is Stalin.
Winnah, winnah, chicken dinnah!!
Yeah, ol' Joe actually comes across as a pretty pleasant looking fellow, don't he?
They're always so cute when they're young, aren't they?
Crikey me, he was yum.
Never seen that pic before.
But it proves my hypothesis that beautiful people are allowed to become tyrants because people indulge them from childhood. Occasionally disproved of course. But in general beauty brings privilege.
Okay, there's Muhammad Ali, Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea, Cyndi Lauper, Liberace, and, who the fuck is that?
Really. I don't know who she is. I know I should know who she is. I know I will know who she is.
Just as soon as someone tells me.
[ATTACH]39007[/ATTACH]
I typed the four names you noted into Google and it said Wendi Richter.
I know I should know who she is. I know I will know who she is.

I typed the four names you noted into Google and it said Wendi Richter.
I stand corrected. I've been told (correctly, btw) who she is...and I still don't know. Never seen her before, she
does look familiar though, and I've never heard of her.
1. Apparently, she was a professional wrestler.
2. Apparently, this was the best photo
ever taken of her.
There is the sum total of my knowledge of Wendi Richter.
I bet Liberace could take her.
To the bus stop!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
That was funny, I ain't got time to wait for you slowpokes.
I bet Liberace could take her.
Maybe he could then - but I heard he's lost a lot of weight since that picture was taken.
who is this? No cheating with images searches.
[ATTACH]39047[/ATTACH]
Maybe he could then - but I heard he's lost a lot of weight since that picture was taken.
Yebbut, he's hard as a rock.
George Clooney?
Was it that easy? Well done. George Clooney.
Here, try this one.
Who's this?
[ATTACH]39048[/ATTACH]
Re: Clooney pic - I'd seen a photo of him w/those same glasses, and the eyes behind 'em.:D
I cheated on this pic (post #31). I'd've never gotten it. It's good one, too. I'll be surprised if anyone gets it. Without cheating...
Was it that easy? Well done. George Clooney.

I found a website with a ton of these.

[ATTACH]39062[/ATTACH]
The kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun?
Jeremy Piven
[ATTACH]39065[/ATTACH]
who? (I can't tell if these are easy or not, because I already know the answers, so I can see the adult in there. This one looks easy to me, but I remember being surprised when I read the name.)
[ATTACH]39067[/ATTACH]
Yes! Michael Stipe.
That was fast.
Here's one more, then I have to go..
[ATTACH]39068[/ATTACH]
I had to resort to TinEye. That's a good one.
Hint: The mouth/teeth/chin are a dead giveaway now that I know who it is.
This one is super easy, but I just post it for giggles. Still, let's hear your guesses.
[ATTACH]39077[/ATTACH]
What with the jacket, the hair and the earring, I'm glad he ain't one of my friends.
It's like a gay, glitzy, pirate.
Omg - did we really look like that in the '80s???
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I think Schwimmer sort of told people that he was a douchebag back in the day.
no shenaningans
How's this one? Too easy?
[ATTACH]39082[/ATTACH]
Omg - did we really look like that in the '80s???
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
What do you mean 'we'? 'We'
never looked like that.
:D
Yes! Steve Tyler. You're good at this.
So here's one. I think this is harder. The funny thing is, I knew a guy in high school who looked just like this.
[ATTACH]39084[/ATTACH]
Well, it was Steven Tyler, or the Joker.
btw I knew it was Bruce Willis but I thought it unfair because I had a vague recollection of seeing the pic before and I don't want to be a cheater cheater pumpkin eater.
Is that Gordon Sumner?
Is that Gordon Sumner?
Nope. Older than that.
Instantly recognizable...once I'd cheated.
I was studying the mouth/lips area, and was looking hard at that heavy brow, and thinking I know who that is.
After struggling for a while I finally figured who was at the back of my mind...I was thinking of NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon :lol2:.
It ain't Jeff Gordon.:p:
Instantly recognizable...once I'd cheated.
Yeah, in hindsight it's so freaking obvious.
Nope. Not a musician.
He does play though.
no.

[ATTACH]39092[/ATTACH]
I don't know...Jimmy Stewart?
nope.

[ATTACH]39094[/ATTACH]
Ward Cleaver?
FAther Knows Best?
Make Room for Daddy?
My Three Son's dad?
Hugh Hefner
[ATTACH]39095[/ATTACH]
omg. I'm not good at this...but MOAR.
This should be easier.
[ATTACH]39096[/ATTACH]
My first lightning reaction is Kevin Costner, but I don't think I'm right.
Oh hell that's TOTALLY Costner.
Yes, that was totally Costner.
Who is this little boy?
[ATTACH]39100[/ATTACH]
All the people I think of are younger and would have color pics from that age, and non-slicked back hair.
Darnit.
So...Gregory Peck?
No. Not that old.
FYI, I had a B&W yearbook picture. College too.
I guess that's true. Mine were b&w too, except for senior year of college. Was thinking of the pics we bought.
Johnny Depp?
With this guy, it's the one eye that stands out to ID him. the rest of the face is generic boy.
Here's the same eye about 25 years later, 30 years ago.
[ATTACH]39101[/ATTACH]
That's not Biff Romney is it?
Ha ha. No.
you're bad at this. ;)
But this one is hard.
Here's the same boy several years later. A lot easier.
[ATTACH]39102[/ATTACH]
omg! I never would have gotten that. I told you I was bad at this! :lol:
My friend in college married a law student who looked like that. They're divorced now I believe.
Harrison Ford!
Here's a color photo.
The story is that this boy and his friends didn't make the school team, so they created their own and called themselves the rejects.
Who's this kid?
[ATTACH]39105[/ATTACH]
Oh yeah. This thread. Yes. That was Brad Pitt.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39153[/ATTACH]
A woman who should be shot in the face?
Did you cheat? :rolleyes:
A woman who should be shot in the face?
If, by shot, you mean
money shot...I'm your man.
As long as she don't talk. Her talking is a deal breaker.
I don't cheat.
I think I'd seen it before so I didn't put an actual answer. I still might be wrong.
I misunderestimated you both when I thought you might not know that one. And IM is right to refudiate my cheating accusations. She knows the pit bull in lipstick above is none other that Sarah Palin. Thank god we dodged that bullet. Can you imagine her being president?
Who's this?
[ATTACH]39161[/ATTACH]
Yeah!
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39163[/ATTACH]
Tom Selleck?
Hair says mid 70s...thick eyebrows...
I saved the pic and drew a moustache on it...I don't think I'm right.
I cheated...
Oh SNAP!
Unbelievable....Soooo not Tom Selleck.
Not Tom Selleck.
This guy isn't as huge a star as some of the others, but he's still a star and you know him. Know his face anyway. Show biz guy.
Heh, yeah he's about as far from Tom as ya can get.:lol2:
Need a hint?
He got his start in stand-up.
I'm thinking David Puddy? The guy from Seinfeld...more recently Rules of Engagement? Can't think of his real name. I've not seen this one before.
oh uh uh yeah uh uh goddamn, he was The Tick! uh uh oh Patrick Warburton!
No. But you're closer than you were.
Second hint: He was a writer for a tv show.
BTW, Mr. Warburton also voices Joe the paraplegic policeman on "Family Guy".
I know. Love pat warburton.
But darn, who is this guy?
Omg omg omg...steve martin?
no wai!!! but wait.... it could be!!
Not Steve Martin. But fairly early in his career, this guy has also written for SNL and Fridays.
I'm just taking some slack up for Glatt, but...No to Steve Martin.
Yet another hint: Our mystery celeb has also appeared on Seinfeld. Also, keep in mind hint #2.
(Glatt's gonna get me for this...)
ETA: Nevermind. :D
I'm just taking some slack up for Glatt, but...No to Steve Martin.
Thanks. You take over. I gotta leave.
Crap just reaching now: is he a Baldwin? Have we already covered a Baldwin?
Okily dokily doodly there neighbor...Not a Baldwin...but he is bald.
If that's Larry David I will die.
Wait, was the flanders thing a hint?
If that's Larry David I will die.
It's been nice knowing ya!!
It is Larry David!!! How far off was I w/Tom Selleck?!
Stand by...
This one won't be as hard...I think.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39170[/ATTACH]
It's been nice knowing ya!!
It is Larry David!!! How far off was I w/Tom Selleck?!
Stand by...
No freaking way. Dude!
It is Jack Black.
I'll bet he was a trouble maker.
I'm still freaking out about Larry David.
Wasn't expecting ol' Larry to be Sears-catalog-suit-model-handsome were ya?
I'll go for another, but, may have to leave soon...
The chin might give this one away, but, I bet it's a stumper.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39178[/ATTACH]
Wasn't expecting ol' Larry to be Sears-catalog-suit-model-handsome were ya?
It's those damn EYES. And he looks like a big football player guy there.
Not Hillary, but, ya know, that ain't a bad guess. She even has the pointy chin.
Hintage: Though our mystery celeb isn't Hillary, she did date a president. [COLOR="LemonChiffon"]kinda[/COLOR].
Ok, that's my cue...
The answer to our mystery celeb is Annette Bening.
The 'she dated a president' part comes from "The American President", in which her character dated POTUS Andrew Shephard, played by Michael Douglas.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39254[/ATTACH]
Admit you cheated and you can have the points anyway.
Dammitall!! The only thing she has left from that photo is her eyes and teeth! She doesn't look anything like that now (but, I guess she does if'n Spexx picked her out).
Looks like only Joan Rivers has had more work done...
Yes, it is Halle Berry.
Remember, now, no cheating.
Ima call this a stumper right off the bat.
This is not, repeat, is not Kid Rock in a really bad wig.
So, who is this?
[ATTACH]39391[/ATTACH]
I just knew that would be a stumper.
It is Kirstie Alley.
Admit you cheated and you can have the points anyway.
I did not cheat.
Robert Mitchum?
Or Ray Price?
Yeah, I went ahead and cheated after I guessed.
I was way off.
:lol2:
Good one though.

Yeah, can't get much farther away from Mitchum without a vagina.

damn, i should have gotten that... i've chatted with her about geopolitics while she cooked tacos.
No, really.
The eyes say Woody Allen.
The eyes say Woody Allen.
So does his name tag. Good get, Glatt
damn, i should have gotten that... i've chatted with her about geopolitics while she cooked tacos.
No, really.
Did you eat her taco? Lick it, at least?
I snapped this photo of a photo from Motorcyclist magazine. Don't cheat.
Some of you may have never heard of this guy, some of you may know instantly who he is. I hadn't heard his name in forever.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]39967[/ATTACH]
Dude is aging pretty well...
How can you mix Triumph and Moto Guzzi badges?
Is it --- the Pope?
coz that would be cool.
How can you mix Triumph and Moto Guzzi badges?
Triumph and Moto Guzzi, for when Harley-Davidsons and BMWs just don't cost enough.
I don't think this guy is really known for motorcycles, although he does seem to have a few.
Heh, no, not the pope.:lol2:
A pro-football player who was present when Robert Kennedy was shot ?
(Senior moments have wiped out my name recall)
:lol2: That is so not Rosie Greer, who was indeed in the security detail of one RFK.
The person in question is Adam Ant. Aka, Stuart Goddard.
No recollection? Maybe this will help:
[YOUTUBE]27Tj-Xo_eqI[/YOUTUBE]
Poor ol' Adam, he's had a helluva time...
:lol2: That is so not Rosie Greer, who was indeed in the security detail of one RFK.
Aw, come on, Grav.
Just because a man does needlepoint doesn't mean he can't ride a Harley or a Triumph. :eyebrow:
I used to needlepoint.
Really.
Who is?
Oh, I know it... dammit, it's in the mouth, when I first scrolled down I saw it and then it whisked out of my mind... wait wait, is that Cher?
Isabella Rosellini?
That bra strap hanging out only became socially acceptable in the last ten years or so, and with that tank top, it's not an accident. So I think this isn't a picture of somebody really old. (For some weird reason, Ayn Rand popped into my head.)
This is a new picture, released this week.
You will remember her, maybe even fondly, although you may not know her name.
She's not that old here. So I remember her when she was young?
*thinking of children stars from my youth*
I got nothing.
I was thinking of the girls from the Facts of Life, but no.
Winnie from the Wonder Years? No.
Malorie from Family Ties? Nope
I think she's older than that. Those chicks be my age. Of course, some people are more prone to wrinkles.
Shelley Duvall?
It's bright and she's squinting. I bet she's about 45 - 50
OK...maybe, but I could squint my face off and not have those deep wrinkles and I'm almost 48. Just sayin'
Of course I was blessed with my mom/grandma's skin...
I bet she's one of those young looking older woman...late 60s...
Her wikipedia page says 45.
*puffs up*
Sorry. She's very pretty but those are some serious wrinkles. Is she one of those gorilla ladies or something?
OK...maybe, but I could squint my face off and not have those deep wrinkles and I'm almost 48. Just sayin' Of course I was blessed with my mom/grandma's skin...
Give it back sweetheart. You'll be arrested.
Hmmm... I was thinking Annie Lennox without the dye job but she's older.
Not a gorilla/monkey lady, no.
That narrows it down then.
You will remember her, maybe even fondly, although you may not know her name. But you might remember her character's name.
ARGH! I want to figure this out so bad!
Did she wear an animal suit or something, or do you mean character like a human being she portrayed?
She portrayed a human character.
(BF no)
I was refreshing my memory of the members of the brat pack, and I'm sure she's not one of them. But she would have been their age. So she was on the fringes. Not an A-lister. And so many of the starlets of that time have made reappearances, so you know what they look like now. I haven's seen Mary Stuart Masterson in a long time, but I seriously doubt she could have ended up looking like this woman.
She sort of looks like Winona Ryder, but no.
She looks a lot like Justine Shapiro, but she's not an actress.
You don't remember her name, but you might remember her character's name, because she is known for one particular character.
Not Justine Shapiro, not Punky Brewster
Punky Brewster?
That would have been a good one.
I thought of Punky...wrong age. Thought of Justine Bateman, she's the right age?
WHo is Justine Shapiro?
Not Justine Bateman.
Known for one particular movie character, from one particular movie.
I mean, Mallory Keaton.
eta: RATS
OH oh ohohohhhh
Mia Sara? Ferris' girlfriend!
TELL ME WHAT I'VE WON, BOB!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And she is a pretty lady, very graceful looking.
Well done!
I can totally see it in the eyes.
Ah ha! Nice one, UT. I was starting to think it must have been someone from the 70s that I wouldn't know anyway, but I know Ferris' girlfriend for sure.
That was fun.
And what perfect casting for FBDO, eh? To be Ferris's girlfriend called for, obviously, 10 out of 10 beauty, but never ditzy in the least. A certain sophistication without being upper-class. She loves him, and she knows he loves her, even though he is confidence to the extreme.
I was a bit jealous of her cute little self! I wanted to hang with Ferris!
More of these...that was a great one!
k, got one. This might be tough:
Heh...I just assumed Sawyer was some chick on lost. :)
Sawyer from 'Lost':
[ATTACH]40153[/ATTACH]
Yeah, I googled it.
Now who is THIS?
I totally know that face...
Looks a bit Kristin Stewarty, though I know it's not her.
I bet you do! Obscure but a blast from the past..for those in our age range, that is. :)
I know that face too. This is already killing me.
She's at the "TV Land Awards"...
Yes. Even I didn't notice that...but it is a great clue!
Looks like the wicked witch of the east/west (?) to me
No. Younger. This is also a recent pic.
I went ahead and cheated.
Never heard of her.
TinEye was no help. I was disappoint.
I went on quite an expedition, and nothing quite fit. But I did find her.
Must not be your demographic. ;)
I will have more clues tomorrow.

If you didn't use TinEye or the similar Google tool, I don't think you cheated.
Amy Linker.
I did a text-typed-in Google Image search for "TV Land Awards", and started drilling.
Well yeah, you're allowed to research right? It just isn't fair to use pic recognition.
And I'm not sure if you're right or wrong. If you didn't use verboten tools, try an answer. If you did, pm me and I will yay or nay ya! :)

Didn't see that part.
:o
Yes, correct!
I can't cut and paste pics from my phone. She played opposite sarah jessica parker in Square Pegs. Remember Tracy Nelson and the other cast? Great for 1982.
Last line of theme song: one size does not fit all. ;)
Grav, help me out: grab a cast photo of square pegs. For contrast!
"I'd like it if they like us - but I don't think they like us!"
I went to look for that song on youtube but I was wrong! It was the closing theme. I saw in the credits that Tom Scott was involved in the music?
Pfffft.
You're up, grav.
Totally unprepared. Hang on.
I don't know but I was a big Waitresses fan back in the day, and have all their stuff on vinyl.

It looks like make up. Is that make up? No fair.
Looks like an old Dutch guy ... Rutger Hauer?
I'd have to check his arse. Dutch men generally have very flat behinds.
Is that Tommy Lee Jones under heavy make-up?
or Billy Crystal?

Heavy make-up, yes.
Tommy Lee Jones, no.
It's a scene from a big movie. Western. Fairly big cast of big names. A sequel, if I'm not bad off.

Lindsay Lohan, not.
Billy Crystal, no, but I could see it.
Rutger Hauer, no.

He's got a little cartoon skull on his shirt. Is that relevant? :lol:

i dont think so. not a count.
His dimples look like Buzz Aldrin's, but when Buzz was young, his hair was a lot shorter than this.
Oh, that's gotta be it, UT.
Wow. You were never gonna get it. Willie indeed.

She kind of looks like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss there.
I watched the crap out of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, so had a good vision of Betty as a younger woman. (Though not as young as in this pic.)
Betty was hot.
She might still be, if I was 90.

very very hot. That's why I'm crushing on all the brainy cellar babes.
Aww shucks. Too bad I'm taken. You'll just have to settle.
;)
Wait ... are you guys seriously saying that a woman with a great mind is hot?
It's one of the things that I love about the Cellar. Sure, the guys perv about boobs 'n' ass 'n' stuff, but they do like a woman's brains as well ...

It's not perving to appreciate the lady bits, that's natural, instinctive, and automatic.

There must be a tag line in here somewhere. ;)
Geraldo Rivera, aka Jerry Rivers?
I googled it. Wow!
I know that smile -- that has to be Stephen Colbert.
That's what I was thinking, Choco! And I thought, surely not. But that smile, it has to be...
OMG! It's totally him. I see it now.
Looks like Patrick Stewart.
And on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, I'd wager, not in a film.

She's the girl from [COLOR="LemonChiffon"]Game of Thrones[/COLOR]?
Ooh, excellent call Grav. I thought I recognized her, but I never would have put it together.
Danaerys! The Mother of Dragons!
I like her look with the dark hair and regular eyes.
I like that she is pushing maximum density. She was supposed to be 13-14 in the books...but that is Woman.

Whatever you do, don't hover your cursor over the picture of the girl.
Ahhhh, didn't recognize her in a stationary position.
For infi's -- the missing link between Hugh Laurie and Buster Keaton?
Gravdigr -- I hovered and I still don't know who that is. I live under a rock.
If you google her, make sure SafeSearch is on. (winkwink)

heeheee, nope.
It's weird but I KNEW that was Jenna Jamison.
and I haven't even seen any of her cinematic films.
huh. She used to be very, very pretty but now she looks like a blow up doll. Sad, really. They take a beautiful girl and turn her into some sort of...thing.
They didn't do anything the Jenna. She is very much her own woman, have you heard her on the radio or in interviews? She's not dumb.
...thing
Carolla says, a "female female impersonator".
They didn't do anything the Jenna. She is very much her own woman, have you heard her on the radio or in interviews? She's not dumb.
I didn;'t say she was dumb. I said they took a naturally beautiful woman and made her into a plastic fantastic lover. Nothing is ever good enough. even regular housewives feel the pressure to inject crap into their lips; it's so sad because she was so pretty and they tarted her up like a - cake or something. Something to be consumed.
not dumb. Sad.
If Grav posted it for the guys it had to be a porn star
for Infi a guy with digestive issues?

then please, please... stop listening to "they". she didn't do any of that for me or my sake.
I make my choices for people I know, mostly. but "they".. I find my values and "their" values are more often misaligned than aligned, and I conduct myself accordingly. Maybe Jenna did what she did to herself for herself, not as a victim at all.

You're right. She did do it to herself. But maybe she was encouraged?
I dunno. But she went from beautiful to a caricature of beautiful; I guess that's the bummer part. Blonder hair, tanner skin and big, unnaturally weird looking boobs really turns me off. So do those big fat lip injections. Awful.
for Infi a guy with digestive issues?
No. Any other guesses?
He looks like Barney Fife to me, infi. Can't remember that dude's name off the top of my head...
Edit: No, no! I have it now! He's that old actor, who plays judges a lot, and played the old guy in Pet Sematary who got his achilles' tendon cut. His name's Judd-something, maybe?
No. :)
It was going to segue nicely until Jenna popped up. (that there's a hint.) ;)

Robert Downey Sr?
Morton Downey Jr? ;)
ding ding ding
We always talk about Robert Downey Jr but no one ever wonders about Robert Downey Sr!
Robert John Downey, Sr. (born Robert John Elias; June 24, 1935) is an American actor, writer, and film director, and the father of actor Robert Downey Jr. He is best known as an underground filmmaker, serving as director and/or writer of such cult classics as Putney Swope, a satire on the New York Madison Avenue advertising world.
Also read he was in Boogie Nights as Burt (who I can't place offhand.) Here's a better picture.
Putney Swope is a fantastic film. I bet it's dated as hell, but it was greaet.
well, now you know where to find it.
That does look like Little Foot, doesn't it?
It looks a lot like foot, but the corner of the mouth of the guy holding little foot looks like foot too. They can't both be little foot.
I'mma guess the lad is little footfootfoot, and the guy holding him is yardyardyard
Ahhhh, yes, and with the trickery of black and white photography we are led to think it's an old timey photo. Shenanigans!
Wait, are you saying the big guy is big foot and the little guy is little foot?
I'm being intentional vague so I can claim victory either way.
In other words, you're channeling foot. :lol:

My dad got around. Oddly, John Cusack is from Evanston and his dad was in the advertising biz. So was my dad and we lived in Evanston for a couple of years at about the same time. People who know Cusack and have worked with him say that he and I not only look(ed) alike but have the same mannerisms.
Another reason why I find the show Mad Men hard to watch.
It could also mean your mom got around... do you look more like your siblings than, say, John Cusack looks like Joan Cusack? I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that those two aren't related. Either way, I like the idea that you're a half-sibling to Jessie the cowgirl.

It was pretty obvious, but then I Googled the pair. According to Wikipedia, they became friends when they kept competing against each other for the same roles and were running into each other at auditions.
Why do all the hot chicks want to get with the bad guys?
They don't realize it's just a gun in their pocket. ;)
Reminds me of Wyatt Earp. But he was a "good guy" wasn't he?
The Clantons didn't think so. From everything I've read, most of the old west "heroes" were pretty shady characters, often the lessor of several evils. :eyebrow:
Hey foot, a good beer name would be Wyatt Urp. Needs work. Something along those lines. A whole product line of wild west legends. Bock Holliday. Belle's Pale Ale. Wild Bill Hiccup.
In researching my material for the above 'not nearly as funny as it could be' post, I figured out who that guy is, btw.
I won't tell though. Would be like cheating.

[ATTACH]43608[/ATTACH]
Soupy Sales, Don Imus, Howard Stern, Wolfman Jack
That'd be them.
Go go Glatt, good job.
I ran across the Guess Who tune "Clap For The Wolfman", the pic came from someone's YouTube slideshow.
Soupy Sales was the difficult one.
Soupy Sales was the difficult one.
You never saw Hollywood Squares?
Sure, I recognized him, but coming up with the name was the challenge.
I am still none the wiser.
Except I know of Howard Stern, by reputation.
i didn't know imus. the rest i did.
what no one else had the pokey little puppy golden book with a 45 of soupy reading the book?
That's a good one. I keep thinking I recognize her, but can't quite place it.
Well, I'm going to guess that was 1971, and she looks about 30 there. So it's a female celebrity who is around 70 now.
Not sure how that helps me.
That sort of looks like Faye Dunaway
I'll add a picture here and there, see if it helps.
Well, I was right about the age. Never would have guessed it.
Looked like Nancy Sinatra
i was thinking even a little brigitte bardot in the first pic. might be the hair though.
a lot of people don't care for her, but she played herself on an episode of 2 broke girls nad it was pretty funny. in my book she's pretty cool.
I'll try to check back this afternoon to see if anyone has guessed who this is (remember now, no cheating):
[ATTACH]45141[/ATTACH]
Ya gotta love her. Yes sir, that is Lucille Ball. I want say 1930 (I'll see if I can find it again).
Other than the fact that they are both female, and attractive, that woman looks nothing like Lucy.
Yep, 1930. Miss Lucy was 19 yo in that pic.
Who is?
Brady Bunch's Cindy. You can see it in the smile.
Correct. Susan Olsen, she turned 52 yesterday.
I'll try to check back this afternoon to see if anyone has guessed who this is (remember now, no cheating):
[ATTACH]45141[/ATTACH]
Wow she doesn't look like Lucy but does look like my youngest.
Is Who?
No, this person is still alive and the pic is current!
Wow. Her teeth look the same. And the lips are reminiscent of her old lips. But other than that...
And the lips are reminiscent of her old lips.
That is to say, the old-new lips, not those repugnant things she was born with.
I love the turquoise bracelet.
Lisa Rinna called...wants her lips back.
[Strike]Even at 400% zoom I could find no turquoise in that pic.[/Strike]

She looks like she might smell bad in this pic.
Work sweat, fresh, doesn't smell bad to me.
I was thinking more of a patchouli-type scent.
Is that 3Foot's school pic?
Hooooo .... Hooooooo?
Kevin Spacey
Nice! I can see it now, but I never would have guessed it.
I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure it out. Never would have gotten that one.
I fell across a couple old celeb pics...I'll post one or two later.
I may not be back in today, but, this is an easy one...The easiest of four that I've saved up for a while.
Who is this? We've had this fella before.

Nope. It's Drew Carey.
I was way off. I thought it was Drew Carey.
From the relatively easy, to the damn near impossible...
Remember, no cheating.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]45413[/ATTACH]
If somebody gets this, I'm just gonna assume they cheated.
Or they've seen the pic before.
It's a girl, I can say that for sure.
It's someone who is likely 45-50 today. Wasn't famous when younger, because they aren't recognizable here. which means probably isn't an actress because actresses generally achieve fame while young. So who else achieves fame? Politicians? Is it Sarah Palin? I've seen pictures of her as a young mayor, and she didn't look like this. But that's all I've got for now.
It's a girl, I can say that for sure.
When I first saw this pic, I said the same thing. I thought it might be Charlize Theron.
It's not a female.
Hints: Male, singer,
not currently with the group he's most associated with
ETA: Actually, after some research, the band he's most associated with may currently be an on again, off again situation.
Well "on again, off again" rules out Paul McCartney. Maybe Sting? Or Ozzy Osborne. It's got to be someone pretty big, to have had a group he's known for AND still be famous outside that group.
Is that the Smashing Pumpkins dude?
Billy Corgan?
edit: It really looks like a girl. But the cheeks look like Corgan's.

Wellwellwell, Glatt wins. Again.
Man, I just knew this would be a stumper.
It's Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame.
Good eye, Glatt!
Thanks! :) The eye had very little to do with it. It was the haircut, which gave me the age, (which happens to be my age, btw) and your clue that it was a musician made me think of musicians who are my age. There aren't that many.
Number 3 is Jennifer Aniston.
Number 2 is familiar, but I can't place it.
Number 1, I got nothing.

1 and 2? No, and no.

Ayuh, that's Tony Soprano hisownself, one James Gandolfini.
I'm finally out of 'Who Is This' pics.
And I hope I don't run across anymore.
Heh... Bea Arthur was the first thought that popped into my mind, but I don't think it's her.
I was thinking Betty White, but I feel like I've seen early pictures of her, and she didn't look like that. IIRC
Is that Lillian Gish?
ETA: Mary Pickford?
The woman who voiced Betty Boop (and at least a dozen other cartoon characters), Mae Questel?
If that ain't her, we earnestly request hintage.
And by 'we', I mean me.

It looks like he's also got a flask around his neck, so yeah, that's him. ;)
I believe it. He's doing that "arms half at the ready" thing that Secret Service agents do... And I don't believe that the Russians in 1988 would allow random civilians to get that close to leaders, foreign or otherwise.
The crazy part is the Secret Service was cool with it?
Yes, but what is Larry Flynt doing out there with Vlad ?

Number 2 strikes a small bell of recognition with me, but the other two, I've got no clue.
I'll give some of the others time to see 'em, then I'll drop a few hints.
If needed.
Two looks like Amy Poehler.
I don't recognize anything about the others.
One looks a little like the guy from Scrubs and Garden State.
1 and 3 are both modern photos, so I figure they're probably grown-up versions of famous children. I think you're right about number 2 being Amy Poehler.
A few hints:
1. He's a successful judge.
2. She has the eye of the tiger.
3. He has trouble focusing.
No. 2 isn't Amy Poehler. Neither are nos. 1 & 3.
1 & 2 I didn't expect to take long. I don't really expect anyone to get 3.
None have been guessed so far.
1. He's a successful judge.
I'm expecting this to mean a judge on American Idol or Dancing With the Stars or something similar, but I don't watch those shows. There's no way it's Simon Cowell, and he's the only one of that ilk that I can name.
#3 is Robin Thicke.
Correct.
#1 knows how to foil a prison bloodhound.
I googled them and I have no idea who any of them are.
I saw #1 on the Grammys last night. Blake Shelton.
If the other guy is Robin Thicke, then the woman must be somebody like Pink or something, but she's not Pink. Who's a middle aged singer?
Oh, shit. Those eyes. Is that Katie Perry?
#1 is Blake Shelton.
#2's eyes do, indeed, belong to Katy Perry.
I googled them and I have no idea who any of them are.
Meaning you
unsuccessfully Googled them, or, you actually don't recognize the names?
If it's the latter, damn, man, poke your head outta the cave once in a while.:lol2:
I've heard of Katy Perry... the others? nope.
I know who Katy Perry is.
I've heard the name Robin Thicke, but if asked I would have thought he was on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" (Robin Leach, apparently. Before my time, but I was aware through cultural osmosis. When there were only four channels, osmosis was stronger.).
Never heard of Blake Shelton.
#1: Blake Shelton sounds like a Country Sanger. #3: I thought of Alan Thicke....are they related?
I have a really good version of Shady Grove by an Alan Shelton... whoa, another Alan.
Alda better stop right there.
Yeah, Alan Thicke is his father.
James Alan Shelton
[YOUTUBE]LNBlsrfj5V4[/YOUTUBE]
I've heard a bunch of different versions of this, including several by Jerry Garcia... but this is the one that has the hook for me.
I only knew who Katy Perry was because one of the girls in school dressed up as her for Halloween. I successfully googled them and had no idea who they were, apart from KP who, I gathered, once kissed a girl and found it wasn't an altogether unpleasant experience.
My cave is comfy, why would I want to poke my head out? (Apart from the chance of watching two girls kissing)

At seven feet tall, and 415 lbs, he is still in an athletic(-ish) form of show business.

Helen Mirren it is! Way to go Spexx!
The gentlemen is not Anthony Perkins.
A hint: He killed John Wayne. And his acting career suffered for it. He thinks.
I have no idea what you're talking about with John Wayne, but that reminds me a little of Burt Lancaster. Is it Burt Lancaster?
Was that The Cowboys where Dern kilt him?
Happy Monkey for the win.
And, Griff, it was 'The Cowboys'. Dern's character shot Wayne's, in the back, and Dern says that his career was derailed because of it.
Makes you wonder what kind of career he was expecting, cuz, I'm pretty sure Bruce Dern has had a pretty decent career.

If John Wayne dies in a movie, he is always shot in the back.

He probably wanted to be the heroic lead man. His career was playing mostly weasely cowardly sleazy villain types.
It's his teeth. They are kind of narrow in the front, like a rat. So he got the rat roles. Like Paul Lynde.

It's A Game Of Thrones' own Hound, Sandor Clegane, played by Rory McCann. That picture is from Hot Fuzz. Below is The Hound.
Without the scar makeup, he really does look like Billy Zane wearing false teeth.

Now you won't forget her.
She was also in the series
8 Simple RulesPenny!!!! Oh, I see it now.
James Gandolfini, or however you spell his name. That Sopranos guy.
What Glatt said. You can't fool nobody with that chin.
Everyone will probably get this really quick but....

Heh... honest to God, my first reaction was Rik Mayall. :)
Ha! I can see how you might think that. Not him though :p

Barbara Stanwyck
I was just about to guess the same thing.
Edit: And hadn't seen Bruce's answer yet. Great job, carruthers.
And for my next trick.....

Ought to be fairly easy...
Who is this?
[ATTACH]48755[/ATTACH]
Is that....surely that's Her Maj.?
Her Britannic Majesty.
All stand, please.
All that nonsense in 1776 was an unfortunate misunderstanding.;)
That be she.
I thought that was a fun pic, to see HRM in coveralls.
She might have thought it was fun, too...Is that the barest hint of a smile?
Is that the barest hint of a smile?
No, I think it's probably wind.
(Bang goes my Knighthood)
I wonder if she actually worked as a mechanic or if she just posed for pictures. That would be cool if she had gotten dirty working on engines.
I got five more...
One at a time, or all at once (they're numbered)?
One at a time will stretch it out longer
Come on then, Grav. Let's give it a go.:thumb:

She certainly trained as a mechanic. Apparently the only concession to safety was that she slept at home each night instead of in barracks.
Who dis?
[ATTACH]48759[/ATTACH]
Unrelated to previous pic, so, no.
All of these next few, from me anyway, will be musically-oriented.
ETA: The nose and eyebrows are still this gentleman's most prominent features.
Alice Cooper.
Next, please!
It's glatt when he was a rock star.;)
Well, alrighty, then...
Carruthers FTW!
Next up is this young lad:
[ATTACH]48760[/ATTACH]
Who is he?
It's glatt when he was a rock star.;)
What you mean
was? Glatt is still a rock star!
:devil:
Heh. In my dreams.
I knew I knew it, but it wasn't until I saw the hint that I came up with the name, and then I continued scrolling down and saw Carruthers got it again. well done.
damnit. Slow connection and typing.
Hah! Glatt goes down!!!
It is indeed one Axl Rose. My hint was gonna be 'imagine him with a headband, mirrored shades, and a leather jacket, bitching about something'.
Now then, impress me.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]48761[/ATTACH]
Yeah, I skipped one, prolly too easy, or too hard.
Damn.
I think Glatt may have met his match.
That is Mr. Simmons.
Carruthers, I'm impressed.
Now for the one I thought might be a little too hard:
[ATTACH]48762[/ATTACH]
Gene Simmons I wouldn't have gotten and number 3 I have no idea.
Dang.
Carruthers goes four for five!
Glatt, get those typing fingers limbered up, you have a rep to defend, and this last one will be too easy...
Ready...
Go:

I don't think I ever heard of Ronnie James Dio.
Unless, was he that guy in the band that never made it big and they made a documentary about him so he finally got a little fame from that documentary? I saw that film, but it wasn't memorable enough for me to retain the name.
Edit: Nope. I just looked it up. I was thinking of Anvil.
Aaaaaaaaand we're done.
Carruthers goes five for six, counting Little Queenie. And only one Brit in the bunch!
I really thought Ronnie James Dio might be a stumper, but, then, I thought that about Gene Simmons also, so, go figger.
Carruthers, you da man, man.
:notworthy
Actually, The woman in the mechanic's coveralls was not Queen when that picture was taken (if, indeed, it was taken during WWII).
So, if she wasn't Queen, would HRH & HRM still apply, pre-Queen-dom? If not, she still has not been identified.
Glatt, here's your chance to not get skunked!
Oh, he can skunk me. He earned it.

I am officially dubious of Carruthers' success at "Who Is This?"
We'll rule out TinEye and drag'n'drop Google Image searches right off. You can still use words to do a Google Image search, though I'm not sure how you'd go about it.
Not accusing, mind you, just suspicious. Or maybe jealous.
I use Google image search all the time. Just right click on the picture, then left click on "search google for image". Enjoy.
just not to answer the question "Who is this?" in this thread, eh?
From the rules in the first post of the thread:
In the same vein as the 'Where Is This?' thread, which is a spin-off of the 'What Is This?' thread, I gleefully present you with 'Who Is This?'

I dunno, but that's something digital in the boy's hands, so the picture can't be that old. Which means they had to be famous as infants, or maybe are the kids of someone famous.

Or an infant and a toddler.

That's funny. I opened up youtube in another tab to listen to the song and as soon as I read what you posted that lyric came on. :eek:
If looks could kill they probably will
Nice! I thought it might be a little difficult because his face was a bit scrunched up in a smile.
His stuff was on Spotify for about 2 weeks, but now it's gone. So, I'm mad at him.
I really liked his US album. Blood of Eden was very cool.
Anyway, he looks like a town elder from an episode of star trek where they find perfectly human indiginee on some remote planet and go down and learn some bit of social wisdom that is relevant to our present day society.
Ahhh! I used to love him.

yeah both dudes are in play
Meatloaf and Jim Steinman
An outstanding but wrong guess
Robbie Coltrane on the left.
Your hint on gent #2. It was too hard because I love this guy and I hardly recognize him in the shot with Mr Coltrane
You are correct sir. In a very unusual haircut for his time. Which was 1985.
An unusual haircut for him too. I can't find any other pictures of him with hair that long.
It was just in the news, so this one prolly won't last long.
This will be an 'in make up' episode of Who Is This...

I thought it was Brad Pitt.
It ain't Brad Pitt.
John Malkovich! As somebody! Or not!
I kind of almost recognise thatface - gonna seriously bug me til we get the answer.
You usually see him clean shaven and bald.
Bruce is on it.
He has an automotive-related name. Two actually.
he looks like he's made up for some viking production.
Bloody hell! he looks so completely different.
Bit of a stab in the dark....Hugh Laurie?
Nope :)
Though he is a Brit.
There is actually a major clue to his identity elsewhere on the Cellar - but I'll tell you he is a big budget movie star.
Nope :)
Oh, well......
(There is a resemblance. Honest:sniff:)
I want say I know who that is in the latest pic. I want to say Daniel Craig, but, I feel like this guy is younger.
:thumb:
For some bizarre reason, i thought you'd already confirmed! Now I read back and see that you hadn't lol.
Once it was pointed out by Spexx it seemed obvious. But I'd never have guessed in a million years.
I'm going with Daniel Craig.
I don't think it is Ron Howard, but he looks like him.
I'm going with Daniel Craig.
Ding ding!
It is indeed, Daniel Craig, the current James Bond.
It was the brow/forehead area.
I want say I know who that is in the latest pic. I want to say Daniel Craig, but, I feel like this guy is younger.

Ah man, I never saw that post! You'd already got it:P
Yeah, that was an early role in the 90s.
Don't remember if we did this one.
That would be my guess as well.
Here's an old favorite. Should be easy.
The eyes have it.
That's Betty White.
This is extra tricky, even for Glatt, I think. Don't google.
Skinny Long-haired Booby Woman?
Not so booby at all, more bee sting.
This is extra tricky, even for Glatt, I think. Don't google.
She looks very familiar. Damn you. I feel like I've even seen this picture before.
I feel like she was a Sports Illustrated model from the 80s. But I can't place her. And I also had a feeling she is French.
I'm going to give up, because I'm not doing searches of nekkid models at work.
I cheated.
Now I remember where I've seen her.
American
Glatt was right about the 80s

Living dangerously or did you use your iphone?
:D
Living dangerously. But it was only the one cheating search instead of doing multiple searches of 80 models, and the answer was on a SFW page. So it was all good.
I was wrong about Sports Illustrated, but fairly close otherwise. Turns out I had seen scores of pictures of her back in the day. Hope that wasn't too big a hint. I don't want to steal your thunder.
Edit: And nobody is going to know her name. They might be able to describe who she is, but I'll be blown away if anyone gets her name.
Was she the chick who was on the thing?

Agreed. It took me hours of research even knowing a lot about her work to discover her name. Of all her co-workers she was always my favorite.
She's got an incredibly low profile for someone purporting to be looking for work.
Intrigued.
I keep trying to put the clues together. Don't tell us yet. I haven't resorted to an image search but this is fun! The clues are subtle enough. I keep thinking I'll figure out who she is (if not her name.)
I saw this shit, I know it!! WTF is it!
Cow orkers made me think of Coyote Ugly. But that was 2000.
She wasn't on GLOW, was she? Yeah, I actually used to watch that.
But that ain't right. ARGH!!!!
I saw this shit, I know it!! WTF is it!
I want you to get this. Because I know you know her.
And Shaw, do you recognize her?
You might get her, Infi, even if you don't recognize having seen her.
I don't know! She's beautiful. Apparently had some pictures of her around? She had cow orkers. She's from the 80s. She wasn't a sports illustrated cover...
If I kick myself in the face it'll only be because my knee now hyperextends.
More subtle clues, maybe? Or am i missing ones that are already there? :)
I'm so angry right now. I'm going to order a sammich.
I'm guessing that is a hint, but I'm oblivious. ;)
No. It is literal. I haven't had dinner yet. And I am literally angry about not knowing this.
Was she a backup dancer on In Living Color?
Or an NFL cheerleader?
(I'm pulling stuff out my butt right now.)
Should I show you another picture of her?
Oh why the heck not? I'm getting nowhere!
Was she on the cover of Unemployment Monthly?
She was on the cover of the Fapping Today.
Foot seems to be AWOL. Want me to give a hint, since I cheated and know the answer?
Imma give a hint.
[ATTACH]49296[/ATTACH]
So in order to guess who is this we gotta guess who is that.
I'm angry. I'm still an angry man.
Yeah. You aren't going to know her name because she's not famous.
But you probably recognize her because of pictures like the second one of her.
The most you'll be able to do is say what her job is and what you recognize her from.
Lemme give another hint.
[ATTACH]49297[/ATTACH]
They'll never get it from that pic.
Nuther hint: The lady in question worked for a company that puts on a highly anticipated television program every year. Again, you prolly won't know her name, but the company she worked for will be in her job description, which is kinda what we're looking for, in this case.
You know I don't watch all that many highly anticipated television programs... I mean I've never seen some of that... you'd be shocked
OK. So she was a model in the Victoria Secret catalog for like 10 years in the 80s and 90s.
Her name is Suzanne Lanza.
We got that catalog back in those days, and I'd always flip through it when it came. So I've probably seen a hundred or so pictures of her, modeling various apparel. That's why I recognized her, although I couldn't place her until I cheated. I thought you might recognize her for the same reason.
~ ah, no, I have always gotten my pornography from actual pornography ~
that is the least of so many inappropriate things i could say right now*
and i'm still an angry man
*i double dog dare ya to double dog dare me
Yeah, I've been AWOL. Thanks for the assist, Glatt. She was also in a bunch of B moives and a few TV shows, one where she plays a bumb bimbo who is pretending to be Suzanne Lanza. There was also an ABC news bit about some folks who started a free garden or someting where you can drop off your surplus harvest and it is divided up and re-packed, distributed among the others in the group. Sort of like a communal CSA, I guess. I'm watching the news piece and into the frame comes Lanza and she's interviewed about it since she is a member. They didn't reference her former career.
And WTF sort of hint was the letter C?
*Snort* Well, it's supposed to point out that it's a catalog. If you want to buy those jammies, look below at the description under the letter C.
*and I double dog dare you*
I'd always flip through it when I came
...and then you'd give her a personality during your refractory period! LAF
Giving her a personality? I'll have to try that next time.
So you didn't recognize her after all?
And WTF sort of hint was the letter C?
*Snort* Well, it's supposed to point out that it's a catalog.
I was thinking Victoria's 'C'cret. :lol2:

Eh, why ruin it?
:p:
I didn't recognize her. Although I swear I have that disorder where you don't remember people's faces and can't recognize anyone for shit.
I think that should win the prize for most obscure Who Dis pic yet.
I have no idea, but I remember that first shot, and it wouldn't have been in a catalog.
It can't be....nah. Chuck Norris?
No, no, but F3 is on the right track
I went ahead and cheated.
I don't see how the two relate, Mumy and your Mystery Man...
I don't see this one getting solved without massive hintage.
I also guessed Chuck Norris at first (really), but, I could tell there wasn't another fist in his beard.
Ok, here's another pic of him
Well, that's odd. He looks like a woman in that pic...:p:

No but I see the resemblance. What a beauty she is, though.
The first one looks like that wife from the Honeymooners. And the 2nd one looks like Jill St. John, or a retro style photo of Diane Lane.

Oh! OK, well then I figure it's ok to cheat a bit. That's Karol Gajda, the Creator at Gajda.com. He's from Poland and planned (in 2011) to ride every roller coaster in the US in only 3 months.

He puked himself inside out,and then oozed down the drain.

Definitely not. This photo was taken within the last 2-3 years, and I'm 90% sure he's American (based on the "Bail Bonds" ironic city background, if nothing else.)
I thought John Oliver - but - then I wasn't so sure.
The US bail bond system has been one of his themes. I don't know how many venues with different background sets he may have done it in:

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's
Spike Feresten, a comedian whose talk show went off the air in 2009.
In other photos he looks more like Ellen DeGeneres.

Gerard Depardieu?
A bit of a shot in the dark.
He doesn't really look fat enough, but in the absence of any other name springing to mind, I'll say G D.
Ted Levine, the guy who played the psycho in Silence of the Lambs.
(Although in fairness, I connected him as the police chief from Monk first.)
Not Gerard, no.
This guy has done several outlandish, over-the-top roles.
Not Ted Levine, either, although he is one of my faves.
the psycho in Silence of the Lambs
Buffalo Bill;)
I'll let this go for a while longer.
I said GODDAM! (Not a guess, a joke, quote, from a couple few comments ago.
Um...oh shoot whats his...Stephen root? Is that even the name?
Stephen root
The guy what played Jimmy James on "NewsRadio"?

Fargon is correct. The gentleman on the right
is George F. Kennan.
The other fellow is
Frederick Jackson Turner.
You're right on both counts. My bad, I was looking at pictures of Turner in Google images and the had Kennan mixed in. I should have double checked that. :o
Frederick Jackson Turner’s Frontier thesis
The West, not the East, was where distinctively American characteristics emerged. The forging of the unique and rugged American identity occurred at the juncture between the civilization of settlement and the savagery of wilderness. This produced a new type of citizen - one with the power to tame the wild and one upon whom the wild had conferred strength and individuality. As each generation of pioneers moved 50 to 100 miles west, they abandoned useless European practices, institutions and ideas, and instead found new solutions to new problems created by their new environment. Over multiple generations, the frontier produced characteristics of informality, violence, crudeness, democracy and initiative that the world recognized as "American".

His eyes are slanted to the outside just like Herman Munster. So I have to guess it's the actor who plays Herman Munster.

I see some rumors that Alice Cooper played that role and Cooper has similar downturned eyes.

Harry Shear, or however you spell it.

And I word searched this and see I am right. He tried out for Eddie Haskell, but didn't get the part. So Bruce wins.
Did you know
HARRY SHEARER’S TOP FIVE FAVORITE BASS LINES
Relayed to me sometime before the preceding interview for a much smaller, less significant feature:
1. McCartney’s on “Lady Madonna”
2. Whoever played with Robert Kraft on “a song for miles”
3. Horace Silver’s bass player on “Senor Blues”
4. Anything Victor Wooten plays
5. George Porter Jr.’s part on The Meters’ “Hey Pocky Way”
Why? Because, as Harry noted, “they swing.”
Correct!
But xoB was partly right when he said Eddie Haskell. Harry Shearer is shown here as he was... incredibly... on the pilot episode on "Leave It To Beaver", playing the original Eddie Haskell part.
From our old friends at Neatorama.
But you now know him better as "Mr. Burns", "Smithers", "Ned Flanders", "Principal Skinner", "Dr. Hibbert"...

Breeching was the occasion when a small boy was first dressed in breeches or trousers. From the mid-16th century[1] until the late 19th or early 20th century, young boys in the Western world were unbreeched and wore gowns or dresses until an age that varied between two and eight.[2] Various forms of relatively subtle differences usually enabled others to tell little boys from little girls, in codes that modern art historians are able to understand.

You don't recognize him because normally he wears more eye makeup.
so close! but no color; hint 2, early on he was guitarist for the band fronted by this lady, and arguably his future hair and makeup came out of her school of thought.
I mean... you're making me think Alice Cooper with the visual hints, but he's not British. I don't know my overseas rockers at all.
That is CORRECT!
IF you google image search "young robert smith" you see the transition, and it's interesting. He was guitarist for Siouxie and the Banshees in 1980, and again in 1982-84, but did not want to be in two bands at once. And fight over the hairspray.
At first I looked into the Kiss guys...no British born there. Then, after a while, I Googled punk rockers (can't remember why), and she showed up and that's all it took.
I was never a Cure fan, or punk rocker fan.
I started to give the clue "He once punched Barbra Streisand."
On South Park, Robert Smith was the only one that could conquer MechaBarbraStreisand, in the form of Smithra. His attack was 'robot punch'.

I'm sort of disappointed in King's latest offering, written in collaboration with his son Owen. It's called Sleeping Beauties; I read the first 70 pages last night (free preview with my Nook) and found two pretty glaring continuation errors.
It's bad enough that both King and his son missed these errors, but where the hell was their editor?!?
:eyebrow:
Were they major plot holes, or basically typos?
Oh, no. Typos can be excused (sort of). This is continuity stuff - the writer forgot what he said about someone or some thing in a scene, and then contradicts the earlier statement in the same scene.
In one scene, someone knocks at the door of a guy named Truman, a backwoods meth cooker who happens to be "in his cowboy boots and boxer shorts and nothing else" when he opens the door. The visitor is a madwoman who imediately attacks him. With her maniacal grip squeezing into his throat and her ragged nails cutting into his flesh, "Truman's free hand found the grip of the Bowie knife tucked into his belt and pulled it loose."
Seriously?
The other error I found was a scene where a cops gets home late after a rough day. The cop "deposited her gunblet in the drawer, shut it, and clicked it locked again," then she crashed onto the bed with her uniform still on. She was slipping off to sleep, "and was almost there when her phone bugled at her from the utility belt laid across the ceder chest at the end of the bed."
This is bush league stuff. Sheesh, King and son. Get it together.
I always wear a belt with a knife on my boxers when I'm cooking meth. :lol:
But King doesn't say he was wearing the belt does he? It might have been on the table or hanging on a chair or hook nearby.
Oh, and maybe she wore a gun belt and utility belt.
OK King, pay me. ;)

He's not a North American.
I thought I knew. Then I cheated to confirm.
I was wrong.
Better get crackin' if you're gonna solve this one.
Cracking huh? That must be a clue.
I know who it is now, but I won't narc on him.
Ozzy? I don't remember seeing pics of Ozzy as a kid
Nope, although Ozzy was probably a good customer.
"Pablo Escobar school photo" got me there. (It's Pablo)
Never would have without your hints.
I knew it would be impossible without some direction, like some serial killer's choirboy picture.:)
Clue - It's not Nothing But Net.
Kind of reminds me of Mark Twain.
First thoughts: JD Salinger? Pershing?
No, neither of those are right. But I KNOW this image.
:mad2:
It's not James. It's not Warren.
I hate to agree with him, but, Ima go with Wyatt Earp.
It's the eyes.
I take it back :smashfrea
Yes, Wyatt Earp it is, in 1923.
I'm somewhat obsessed with the real-life, bigger-than-life characters portrayed in Tombstone.
Wyatt is a particularly fascinating character, in that he was a ne'er-do-well arrested many times until he went west to work at his brother's whorehouse. Then became a lawman, moving from place to place, usually because of some questionable action on the job. Even later working for the LA police department doing things cops weren't allowed to do. Kind of like a comic book hero, bring bad guys to justice without the constraints of law.
The anti-hero. Batman, Wolverine.
It's good to be able to instantly know who the bad guys are without a pesky trial.
That one in the spotlight, he don't look right! Get him up against the wall!
Who be this sweet little not yet famous cutie.
Nope. Look at the picture, it's old.
No, you're thinking of good people. ;)
No, you're thinking of good people. ;)
Ethel le Neve?
Not Ethel, regular grade.:blush:
And not Fatima... although she knew Clyde.
And not Fatima... although she knew Clyde.
Er... Bonnie?
Ding Ding Ding! Yes, Bonnie Parker. We have a winner.
She's the picture of innocence as well. :eek:
Book, cover, etc...
That was a tough one so here's an easy one.
It was the small hands which gave it away. :)
That photo captures the last time he kept his hands to himself.
That first one is amazing. Really well done.
Is the source image Obama?
I don't really have the time to properly post and curate this particular Who Is This?, so, if you want to guess, [COLOR="DarkRed"]DON'T LOOK AT THE NEXT POST[/COLOR], cuz that's the answer.;) It won't take too long, anyway.
Who is this?
[ATTACH]63388[/ATTACH]
Hints:
TV star
Black guy
He's around 40ish-47ish years old in that picture.
That, fair Dwellars,is [COLOR="LemonChiffon"]Emmanuel Lewis from the show Webster[/COLOR].
He turns 47 today.
This may be an easy one..
[IMG]https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/73/22/8fxurR3a_t.jpg" alt="Image" />[/IMG]
Not a clue. :headshake
She's English and probably one of the most famous females of all time..
Di. I recognize that smile anywhere.
Di. I recognize that smile anywhere.
Correct. Well done.
Thank you, sir!
Next . . . .
Either Luciano Pavarotti or Raymond Burr.
I think Carruthers got it.
If one Google Image searches Pavarotti as a child one gets this picture.
Either Luciano Pavarotti or Raymond Burr.
Holy canolies - we have a winner!
Well done, sir. :)
Holy canolies - we have a winner!

*Bows modestly*. :)
Has anyone else noticed the striking resemblance of Pavarotti to Bluto, Popeye's arch rival?
Do you think that they could be related?

Bluto

Pavarotti
I see what you did there.;)

:):):)
I don't know if this is easy. Who's that next to Cameron Diaz?
Drew Barrymore.
I know, but look again.
Yeah easy, but probably if you've spend hours masturbating to her images.:o
This is easy, I expect. She's 15 here:
I know but I'm not telling. I could even give you a hint, and I will for a price. Muhahaha!
Is that Marilyn?
Yessir, Norma Jean as she was known at the time.
Who is this sweet young thing?
Googled Halle Berry yoga and it came right up (pun intended).
Yes, Halle Berry at 52 years old. :eek:
Who is this?
[ATTACH]66265[/ATTACH]
Miss Eye-full.
Damn, hard to believe.:eek:
No, not Miss Eiffel.:lol2:
She was id'd as Amy Winehouse.
Yes, I found that too, but hard to believe.
Back before she fell in that tub of skank.
Well this should just take y'all a moment
And for your pleasure I present________
Yes it be he, the photographer said he couldn't resist asking him to stand by that sign in the airport.
OK, here's an easy one...
The girl from down the hall?
I couldn't stand it, I cheated.
That does not look like who it apparently is.
Meg Ryan. I recognized the kind of emoting she's doing.
Google image search, says Blonde.
I did a TinEye search clicked through a link, and it went to an interview with Meg Ryan, and that pic was the main pic for the interview.
I don't think that looks like her
at all.
Google image search, says Blonde.
She
is blonde.
I read that interview, she looks different but damn good for 57.
She's always tilted her head and shoulders that way.
She acts with her body posture, I'd say it's her signature move.
It was obviously Meg Ryan the instant I saw it. Sure she looks a little different with the plastic surgery, but I'm a little amazed at those of you who didn't recognize her. It's totally her.
I thought it might be her, but then I thought, she doesn't look like that any more, after all the surgery.
Apparently she had another round of surgery.
Chris Farley!
That is correct.
[YOUTUBE]fGjOsfV3ar8[/YOUTUBE]
Reminds me of Dolly Parton
Dolly it is!
I really thought that would take longer than 10 minutes
Her eyelashes, the sparkle in her eye, and her dimple made me think of Dolly.
Who might this be... could be tough.
I cheated, but I won't tell.
I cheated, but I won't tell.
Me, too, neither.
Good one, Bruce.
And Sean Connery was not a terrible guess. I can see it. A little.
Yeah, I ended up cheating too. I'd thought of Connery because I was trying to think of dudes with a powerful, intense kind of half-squinting look in their eyes.
Nope nobody guessed it yet. I suspected it would be difficult but I'll give it a little more time.
Kinda not really looks like Robert Blake
This is the hint I was gonna give:

Ooh, ears...Prince Charles?
David Bowie
Yes, yes it is. You Sir have won... um, I'll think of something. ;)
Yes, yes it is. You Sir have won... um, I'll think of something. ;)
Lots of good luck involved! :)
David Bowie
Yes, yes it is. You Sir have won... um, I'll think of something. ;)
Wrong! Actually it's
Arnold Corns.
A couple of easy ones:
Who these are?

[ATTACH]68097[/ATTACH]
Just looking for the gentleman in the bottom photo.
The top one looks like Eric Clapton? The bottom, I have no clue.
That's correct on Mr Photographerman. Looks like Slow-Hand can't use that fancy Leica camera that he likely paid dearly for.
Pssssst
Lens cap is still on...
Prom boy is Anthony Scaramucci?
Flint for the win.
It is John Stamos!
I knew that punchable face instantly.
We all know it's the George Lewis Ragtime Band of New Orleans, but who's on drums?
We all know it's the George Lewis Ragtime Band of New Orleans, but who's on drums?
Mr. Bean? :D
Rowan Atkinson, Bill Berry, fine guesses but this picture is from before they were born. (Hint)
The heavy brow puts me in mind of Raymond Burr, but the build ain't right.
It's not him; but, I thought he looked like Donald Sutherland in that pic. The ears topped it off.
[ATTACH]68244[/ATTACH]
Kind of an oddity seeing him in that space.
Donald Sutherland has never worked with this man, but I had to look it up to make sure.
I cheated. Kinda. Ok, I cheated, no kinda about it.
The 'Toad done give us a good'n.
After the
Sorry, Dave
post, I was waiting for someone to guess Hal Blaine.
Looks were strikingly similar in some pics.
I will probably forget this, but I'll post the answer tomorrow, or maybe later tonight...
Who dis is?
[ATTACH]68552[/ATTACH]
Yes sir, yes sir three bags full.
You are right, sirs 3. It is the only king America ever had. Gerald Ford was adopted, his original last name was King.
Who might the kid be, not his nanny.
Is that Botha? The last white leader of South Africa.
Nope, sort of royal leader, but not in Africa.
In for a penny, in for a pound...
The Dalai Lama?
No fucking way.
Anybody gets this, they're cheating.
Cuz I cheated.
It's a tough one because young kids usually don't look like the adult they become, but it's not Liz, it's a man baby.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. Farrokh Bulsara it is!
This photograph was taken in the 1930s, but the person is most famous for portraying a minor character in a 1960s sitcom.
Hints: this one is very difficult; for Americans only, I think, the show she was on didn't make it across the pond. But if you've seen the show, once you hear the character's name, you will immediately say "Oh, sure!"
I had to look at a list of '60s sitcoms. Of the ones I watched, the only bit part I remembered looking anything like that was the character Mrs. Brown on My Favorite Martian and I had to look up that actresses name. Wild guess - Pamela Britton?
I Binged the photo. I didn't watch that show enough to have gotten it. I liked the theme song though. Good one!
Hint:
The show is "Green Acres".
:D It's Barbara Pepper, otherwise known as Doris Ziffel, mother of Arnold Ziffel.
...mother of Arnold Ziffel.
Her husband must've been a real boar.
Mae West.

This is whom?
That's Elvis before the onset of vitiligo, the skin disorder that also afflicted Michael Jackson, and before the subsequent plastic surgery of course.
Rock history baby, Hendrix, left hand guitar, and a red Rocket 88.
This should be a piece of cake...
I remember being impressed with her acting ability when I saw Light of Day 30 years ago. I figured she was going to really break into the movie business, but other than a little role here or there, she hasn't.
I imagine mainstream directors, studios, casting people, were worried it would be hard to manage her public image. That she might damage their project with things like wearing that shirt on the red carpet.
That she might damage their project with things like wearing that shirt on the red carpet.
If i was a Hollywood producer I would insist that she wear that shirt to the Oscar's.
I saw her back in the early 80's and Lil Griff saw her recently. Still relevant!
We may have done this one before, I'm too lazy to check...
Who it is?
[ATTACH]69281[/ATTACH]
Sorry about the big pic.
[size=1]Told ya I was lazy...[/size]
According to google he's a Gentleman.
Oh you mean Denzel Washington
You mean James Earl Jones?
You mean James Earl Jones?
Winnah!
That dude turned into Darth Vader!
We got Alice Cooper on the right, but who's the hot chick he's talking to? You definitely know her, so come on. No cheating.
Yes. Jean Stapleton. At around the same time she played the character
Shows you what a great actress she was
That should have been more difficult!
Granted a tremendous talent but that face is unique to me, I clicked on that at first glance. Maybe I had a secret thing for Edith. :haha:
Yeah. I came up with Edith before I could remember Alice Cooper's name. And I remembered his name in a second or so.
It must have been especially tough since Carroll O'Connor had a reputation for being an even bigger dipshit than Archie Bunker.
Probably made acting easier. You just act naturally in response to him.
This WiT was easier than I thought then!
Alice Cooper seems like a genuine and nice guy. After Glen Campbell passed, I heard him mention how they were great golf buddies. Alice Cooper... and Glen Campbell. Every week. Golfing.
It makes sense after Alice explains it.
This shouldn't be too hard but I could be wrong. I was once in 1974. No I wasn't mistaken.
Ding Ding, we have a winner!

Ding Ding, we have a wiener!

FIFY
Who is this?
[ATTACH]69529[/ATTACH]
Answer tomorrow.
I'll try not to leave ya hangin'.
A young Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.
My instinct says it's someone fat--and that wide nose... I'mma say Mike Pompeo.
Kidding, he's too old. The pic looks to be from the 90s, so he'd be early 40s now. Let's go with actor Javier Bardem.
I was joking about Israel, but then I looked at pictures of him young, and other than his weight, he looked a lot like that guy
Wanna say it's a politician like Trudeau or Macron, but I can't quite place him.
I know, but I'll never tell.
I guess y'all might have to ask for help from one of your heroes. If you're not all wet.
Close enough!
It's Jason Momoa.
Momdigr and I saw a little Elvis in that boyish face..
I've got a two-fer! First, the (relatively) easy one:
Not Elvis. But the lips are key.
And the hair. Or the relative lack thereof...
This was a good one.
ETA: If this was the easy one, I can't wait for the next...
Honestly, the next one's so hard I'm afraid it might be kind of a downer--like, "Oh, well we never could have guessed that, so what's the point?" This one, at least, you hear the answer and say, "Oh YEAH, I can see it..."
I was considering this one, and a certain name kept popping into my head, but I wasn't convinced so didn't announce it. I finally had given up and did something I never do. I cheated. And damn if it wasn't the name that was popping into my head.
I still don't entirely see it. I must have seen a "when they were young" page once in the past and it registered in my memory. I bet I saw that photo before.
Not Burt Reynolds. It's...
David Hasselhoff!
And now the stupidly hard one. Note how the hair is shellacked into straightness, and combed down in front to hide the already-balding spot...
This one, I've seen before, so I feel like it's cheating to answer. It's a good one though.
Not Burt Reynolds. It's...
David Hasselhoff!
Never heard of or seen Momoa, but Hasselhoff also Aquaman.
This one, I've seen before, so I feel like it's cheating to answer. It's a good one though.
OK, the brain is so weird. The first time I looked at the pic, I had no idea who it was. But the moment I read that you've seen it before, I realized who it was.
So I MUST have seen it before... because the idea of "seeing it before" triggered the name of the person. Right now I'm absolutely certain that I've seen it before. (But I still had to cheat to verify it 100%!)
The deep recesses of the mind... may those clouds stay where they are, and not advance into everyday life
Isn't it amazing that our brains remember such trivial details that we saw briefly years ago?
I guess faces are something that would be evolutionarily advantageous to remember though, so we must be hard wired to encode that information somewhere. I bet we can recognize thousands of faces. Maybe tens of thousands. Even if we have trouble placing them.
I cheated and I have never heard of him or the show he was on.
I bet we can recognize thousands of faces. Maybe tens of thousands. Even if we have trouble placing them.
I have an abnormally good ability to recognize faces, and an abnormally bad ability to put them in context. On multiple occasions, I've recognized someone that I spent as little as an hour with as a child, some 15 years after the fact. And yet, more than once I have seen an actual, current friend of mine out of context--like they're a parent at my kids' school, and I see them at the grocery store without their kids--and I can't for the life of me figure out how I know them.
That's understandable. The studies I've heard about say that despite the hundreds; or, even thousands of contacts you may have IRL and over social media, humans can process a maximum of only about 150 relationships at a time. People are constantly moving in and out of that group.
Dunbar's number and it turns out to be wildly important to how we get along and stuff
It's also the limit of Cellar members we can
truly trust
The unspoken
inner circle of which I have now spoken meaning it is no longer unspoken

I'm glad I have a driver's licence to refer to when I can't remember my own name. Either that or wait ten minutes when it pops up while trying to remember something else.
A couple years ago I had a guy walk up to me at a car show and I had no clue. I had given him (charged $1) a '67 Chevy Impala SS convertible a year before that. He was black and I don't interface with that many black guys, and it wasn't like I couldn't remember his name, no connection at all.
Don't lend me money. :headshake
I put glasses on him, and a bald-ish head, and there he was.
I never was a big fan of this guy, I found him just 'ok'.
Now I find him unrecognizable. Unless you saw the same article I did a few days ago, you might, too.
Who is this?

Bryan Adams' father?
Someone's seen the news.:eyebrow:
It's Bryan Adams.
Who is this dapper fella?
Anderson Cooper's real father?
Seems he should have a cigar in his mouth...
Louis Mayer?
24 year old school teacher from TN.
Well, hell. Wrapped that up in 12 hours.
And who would this 9 year old grow up to be?
The first thing that popped into my mind was Elvis. Presley.
Popdigr said Kurt Russell, but, I think Kurt was already an established actor by the age of nine.
I think ti-ii-ii-me is not on either of our sides...
I've since cheated.
It's a good Who Is This, but, I think it will go unsolved.
Yeah it's tough, I won't let it drag on too long, after all he died young.
Yes Sir, James Dean it is, :notworthy
Just went ahead on and cheated.
Those long fingers prolly helped him get famous...
Pope Francis, perhaps.
Nice try no.
Those long fingers prolly helped him get famous...
Definitely.
I didn't notice the fingers before.
I bet that's the Free Solo climber.
Alex Anold, or however you spell his last name. He's got the ears too.
The photo looks like it's from the '60s and the book also throws me off, but I can see it in his face and fingers. That's Alex.
Santana?
Boooooom! Chicken dinner.
I always thought there should be an r in that hrmpf.
Hmph (also hrmph or humph) indicates displeasure or indignation.
That's not where I'd put the r but what do I know.
Gentlemen, please!
