FredCDobbs Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 >but am I an "expert" who should hold off and give other people a chance? I don't know! Why don't you post a few photos and find out what I'm talking about? If they are too easy, the experts get them in 15 seconds. If they are too difficult, the non-experts never get them and the experts get them in several minutes. That is why this thread has slowed down so much. When experts name the actors instantly, there is no use in going on. Post a few photos and see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkeee Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 P. S., I thought for sure at first glance that it was Peter Sellers, sure looks like him. I took your advice, but not easy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 >per Dobbs: >I figured the guy to be in a French type film, in the 1930s That's what prompted me to use the pic. I imagined people getting tangled up guessing all sorts of French actors. You can imagine how demoralizing it was to have someone toss off the name as easy as the date.

FredCDobbs Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 >I imagined people getting tangled up guessing all sorts of French actors You rascal! You certainly fooled me! I think I looked over every French actor from 1910 on up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The goal, my friend, is not to fool most of the people all of the time, but all of the people for as long as you can. With that in mind: ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sometimes I wait to give others a chance. And yes, I knew the Warner Oland picture, and as I said he's one of my faves and is buried in nearby Southborough, Mass. where he and his wife had a house in the 1930's. Regarding posting some pictures myself, I'd love to! I know you've been very helpful to others many times in describing how, but it never seems to work for me. For example, I could post pictures of one of my visits to Warner Oland's grave, and of his house...but I don't know how to make it work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalnovelty Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 > {quote:title=heuriger wrote:}{quote} Thanks! That's it! Last time I was there, a couple of months ago, it was nice to see that someone had left a small Swedish flag by the left side of the stone. The stone may look in pictures like a big round stone, but it's actually flat, only a few inches thick. It came from the front steps of his nearby house which they called Smoke Tree Farm. His real name is actually slightly incorrect on the stone. It should be Johan Verner Ohlund (I've also seen it as Johan Werner Olund). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
