Azure Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think I could recognize my idol, Ida Lupino, with any hair color. Yes, it is indeed Ms. Lupino. Good job, Princess. The photo is from the film Ready for Love (1934). Since you can't post photos, I'll leave this thread open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This young lady would go on to become a well known stage actress. She would appear in a handful of movies in her forties, then go back to the stage for many years, before resurfacing in movies in later life. Do you know who she is?

Princess of Tap Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This young lady would go on to become a well known stage actress. She would appear in a handful of movies in her forties, then go back to the stage for many years, before resurfacing in movies in later life. Do you know who she is? Pulitzer prize-winning Kansas playwright William Inge always preferred theater actors or at least Hollywood actors and actresses who were not afraid to appear on Broadway, to populate his Kansas towns, when they adapted his plays into movies. Word was this actress wasn't pretty enough to be in the movies, but she was such a good actress she got in anyway. However, her talent was better appreciated in the theater. But she came back to do 2 film versions of William Inge's plays--Picnic and Bus Stop-- Betty Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Very well said, Princess. Unfortunately. it's not Betty Field. The photo I posted is of this actress at a very young age and with a different hair style and hair color than she had later. Here is a photo taken a few years later. Now, do you know her? She was in movies with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, and Raymond Massey in the 1940's. She returned to the theater for some twenty years before coming back to movies in the 1960's. She also was an accomplished writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Here's a hint: She wrote an autobiographical play that was turned into a movie. Jean Simmons played her in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Here's a hint: She wrote an autobiographical play that was turned into a movie. Jean Simmons played her in the movie. This hint gives it away - - but I couldn't recognize her face at first because she didn't make many movies when she was young. Jean Simmons played the actress in the movie The Actress, which was the story of Ruth Gordon. The film starred Spencer Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yes, Princess. After more than twenty years as a stage actress, Ruth Gordon made a few movies in the early 1940's. She and her husband, Garson Kanin, wrote some screenplays for their friends, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. After a twenty year absence from films, Ruth made a comeback in "Inside Daisy Clover", playing the mother of Natalie Wood. "Rosemary's Baby" and "Harold And Maude" followed a few years later. She did a play with a young Humphrey Bogart in 1927 called "Saturday's Children". In 1943, they worked together in the movie "Action In The North Atlantic". "Saturday's Children" How young they both look! Here she is with her husband and friends Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. Good work, Princess. I'll be back later with a new photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Out of the Past's Jane Greer? No, but that was a good guess. Here's another hint -- This actress was known for her distinctive husky voice. (Bonus hint -- We've usually seen her with much thicker eyebrows.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did not grow up to become a very funny lady. Both of these little girls did some acting as adults, but that's not primarily what they are known for. Can you name them?

I hate to do questions in half--but I just have to say I know very well the bottom little girl is Chastity Bono. However, she's not a little girl anymore; she's a man named Chas. In relationship to the top little girl, I can honestly say she's not Barbra Streisand. There's only one Funny Girl and one Funny Lady and her name is Barbra.

MilesArcher Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Well, Princess, you got Chastity Bono. The first little girl has nothing to do with Barbra Streisand, but she is a funny lady. She once starred in a TV sitcom, then later became the host of a talk show. Do you know her now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Miles, I'd bet money on that face belonging to Ellen Degeneres Well, Princess, you got Chastity Bono.
