scsu1975 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I believe that's Gene Kelly from the long lost classic Singin' For The Rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Not quite, but good guess. This guy was a major star for a few minutes in the silent era, with many at the time regarding him as highly as his now-more-famous contemporaries, such as Lloyd, Keaton, and such.

LawrenceA Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Max Linder ? No. This guy was also known for his impeccable sartorial style. Looking at pics of Linder, they could be brothers! Edited June 17, 2016 by LawrenceA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Is it Raymond Griffith? We have a winner. That's from Griffith's 1926 film Hands Up! Your thread, Miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Raymond Griffith was a silent film actor who was often photographed in full dress attire, including a top hat. Now, let's do something a little different. Here are photos of celebrities who are children of a famous parent or parents. Can you identify the people in the photos as well as telling us who those famous parents were? Some will be very easy, some maybe not. This fellow once appeared in a movie with his dad. The part was originally offered to Elvis Presley. 1. This next handsome fellow's parents were both stars. 2. 3. This next fellow became a major TV star. He once made a movie with this young lady, who also became a TV star. 4. 5. This fellow's parents were both in movies. 6. This boy was a one time mousketeer. His father was at one time one of the top box office draws in Hollywood. Any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 #3 is Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer of Pulp. His father is an actor and radio DJ named Mac Cocker. #2 is Jody McCrea, son of Joel MCrea and Frances Dee. The #1 picture link is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 #5- a blonde Jack Jones, (don't think I've seen him blonde before, always dark hair and then grey) Jack is the son of Allan Jones and Irene Hervey ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutoo Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Well, 4 is definitely Marlo Thomas, before first nose job 3's got eyes like Hector Elizondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 To confirm, No. 2 Is Jody McCrea, real name Joe Dee McCrea No. 4 Is Marlo Thomas before her nose job No is Jack Jones No 6 is Mickey Rooney Jr. No. 3 made a movie with Marlo Thomas and it's not Jarvis Cocker, whoever that is. Here is another photo of him. Like Marlo, he became a major TV star for quite a few years. Apparently you can't see no. 1. Here is another photo of him. This should be the easiest one.

LawrenceA Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 #1 is James Mitchum, son of Robert. The picture you originally had up for #3, this one: is, in fact, Pulp lead singer Jarvis Cocker. If you click on the picture, and look at the bottom, it even has his name. The new picture you put up is Alan Alda, though. His dad was actor Robert Alda, of course.

LawrenceA Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hint: 2-5 all have the same type of relationship as #1 with an actor or actress (or both). #6 has a different connection, this one to a major movie star of the last 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 # 6 shares his name with Harrison Ford of Han Solo and Indiana Jones fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 # 6 shares his name with Harrison Ford of Han Solo and Indiana Jones fame Yay! Correct, Kid. To the confusion of many a neophyte film historian, that is the other Harrison Ford, no relation to Han Solo. Now who can guess numbers 2-5? I'm surprised these are taking as long as they are to guess. #2 and #5 acted in a lot of films and TV in their days. #2 has 231 credits on IMDb, while #5 has 134. #3 is no slouch, either, with 106 credits. #4 worked behind the scenes. #3, #4 and #5 have multiple Hollywood familial connections.

LawrenceA Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Is #2 Jason Robards' father? (Jason Robards, Sr.) Yes, it is, Azure! Nice going! Now just need #3,4 & 5. #3 has multiple sons in the acting profession. #4 has multiple daughters in the acting profession, one much more famous than the other. #5 is the son of a famous performer, as well as being the father of multiple actors and actresses.

MilesArcher Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I think No. 3 is Stacy Keach Sr. He was the father of actors Stacy and James Keach. He had a recurring role on "Get Smart" as the gadget guy. It was sort of the same role as "Q" in the James Bond movies. I also think No. 4 Is director John Farrow, husband of Maureen O'Sullivan, and father of Mia Farrow. And I am pretty sure No. 5 Is actor Lewis Arquette, son of comedian Charlie Weaver (Cliff Arquette), and father of Roseanna, Patricia, and David Arquette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
