Tikisoo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I don't know where it's FROM....but I think you'd get a better response if you posted it in the "Information, Please" forum. (this is "general discussions ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 That's a tough one. This appears to be a stock photo from way back. The only connection to entertainment I could find was on the cover of a package containing CBS Radio Broadcasts from the 40s (?) http://www.radioarchives.com/CBS_Radio_Workshop_Volume_1_p/ra754.htm There are also some blogs and dating websites. You may be able to ask the blogger where they got it, though it was probably from a stock photo service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Kimble Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 I found it on Reddit. One of the respondents claimed the man was Gene Kelly. The guy does look to me like a weird combination of Gene Kelly and Bob Crane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I thought he looked a bit more like Ray Milland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heuriger Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm thinkin,' it kinda looks like good ol' Wink Martindale in his halcyon days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 LOL Yeah, well, Wink always did a good head o' hair too, ya know heuriger. (...though I DID always think he used JUST a bit too much Aqua-Net during his game show hosting years!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heuriger Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Yep, tons of Aqua-Net, but that's why fans loved his face(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 "face(s)" ya say, huh?! Yeah, ya know, come to THINK of it, there WAS that time between seasons 3 and 4 of "Tick-Tack-Dough" where he came back lookin' ESPECIALLY "refreshed", wasn't there!!!

twinkeee Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think she looks a bit like a young Susan Hayward, but I could be Wrong. If I am, BACK OFF !! Twink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBackTransformer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Jean Arthur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Nah, not Jean Arthur, FlyBack. (...Jean would have NEVER allowed a photo to be taken of the right side of her face!) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 What about Susan Hayward ? Twink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 What Twink?! No, "And if I'm wrong about this, go to Hell" kind of addition to your guess here in this one??? (...in a better mood now I guess, huh?!) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Then who do you think she is? Twink PS Yeah, I feel better now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I don't know, BUT evidently you'll be glad to know that I think your guess of Susan Hayward isn't a bad one. LOL (...but I don't think that's her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMeingast Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Is this a test??? Looks like a tough one... Another view of couple in photo here: http://depositphotos.com/12300809/stock-photo-Couple-bursting-through-leap-year-calendar.html In colour here: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-101123467/stock-photo-couple-bursting-through-leap-year-calendar.html Date on calendar is February 1940 - a leap year.

twinkeee Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 How about Robert Taylor ? In the colour pic, from the front, looks a bit like Ann Sothern, but Not the side profile ! Twink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 RM basically nailed it here. Stock photo of nobody in particular. The info on RM's link said these people are no longer alive. Didn't give particulars as to WHOM they were. Now, don't you feel silly in making all those wrong guesses? Don't know as much as you THOUGHT you did, eh?

Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Well, after lookin' at those links, the guy to me at least is startin' to look a lot like Tony Martin.

RMeingast Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think I fail the test... My guess is Alice Faye and John Payne doing some sort of promo photo for "Tin Pan Alley" (did the film premiere in February 1940?)... Here's a still of Faye and Payne from "Tin Pan Alley": http://www.art.com/products/p16258070926-sa-i6975327/tin-pan-alley-alice-faye-john-payne-1940.htm I'm really reaching here, but it could be them in civvies doing some sort of promo for the film... Otherwise, me know not... Edited by: RMeingast on Sep 14, 2013 1:22 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Probably not a bad guess there, RM, but I'm still seein' more Tony Martin than John Payne there. And, while the young lady does look a little Alice Faye, I'm not so sure that's her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceyk65 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Of course, they could have just stuck the photos on because they thought they looked good and they have nothing to do with what's actually on the recording... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
