MilesArcher Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Well, you've all figured it out. Shutoo was right. They each were the subject of a movie biopic about their lives. 1. Jane Froman was portrayed by Susan Hayward in "With A Song In My Heart". 2. Lillian Roth was also portrayed by Susan Hayward. The movie was "I'll Cry Tomorrow". 3. Ruth Etting was portrayed by Doris Day in "Love Me Or Leave Me". 4. Blossom Seeley was portrayed by Betty Hutton in "Somebody Loves Me". 5. Fanny Brice was portrayed by Barbra Streisand in both "Funny Girl" and "Funny Lady". Thanks to Lavenderblue, Shutoo, and Princess. Lavender and Princess don't post pictures, so Shutoo get's to post next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 #1 is Harvey Lembeck. Your other two guesses are incorrect, though. #4 was an Oscar nominated actress from another country. #5 was an iconic figure in the dramatic arts, also in another country.

MilesArcher Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 No. 2 is famed acting teacher Uta Hagen. She was only in three theatrical films, "The Other", "The Boys From Brazil", and "Reversal Of Fortune". No. 10 is Irma P. Hall. She was in "The Ladykillers" with Tom Hanks. I hope someone else can see the connection, because I can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I initially suspected they were all hurricanes, but could not find some with those first names. However, that's my guess as to the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I initially suspected they were all hurricanes, but could not find some with those first names. However, that's my guess as to the connection. Not quite, but close...the first letter of the first name of #1 - #9 spells H-U-R-R-I-C-A-N-E and then #10 is Irma. You'll forgive me if it's on the forefront of my thoughts this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Some of you have trouble recognizing people who change their appearance over the years. Let's see if you can name these puppets, who never change much. There's no connection, other than the fact that some of them were on a show together. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
