GUESS WHO?

[MilesArcher]

Yes, Lav, It's Ellen Degeneres.  She showed some old photos of herself on her talk show once.  It's funny to see hair styles change through the years.

 

  

 

 

Yes, they're all Ellen.

 

Now, I hesitate to post a lot of baby pictures because peoples features change so much over the years, but this next baby did not change much, at least not in my opinion.

 

 

Who is it?

[shutoo]

hehe..too bad there wasn't a full profile available...looks like Hitchcock to me

[MilesArcher]

Yes indeed, it's Hitch.  Some people really don't change much.  OK, shutoo, you get to post the next one.    

[shutoo]

Recognize the lady in the 'risqué' swimwear?

 

 

 

[Princess of Tap]

She looks like Joe Kennedy's old squeeze--Miss Gloria Swanson

That's her--from her days w/ Mack Sennett ...love the outfit

 

Your thread, Princess of Tap!  

[Princess of Tap]

I declare this thread is open.

[MilesArcher]

When I look at this photo, all I can think of is the "What, Me Worry?" kid from Mad Magazine.  This boy grew up and became a major TV star.  He also made several movies.

 

 

Who is he?

Who is he?

I remember this guy very well on television because I never cared for him. He always would Overkill every routine and every joke.

 

The only time I thought he was funny was when he dressed up like a woman on

I Love Lucy.

 

I think that's Mr. Television himself, before there was television--

Milton Berle.

[MilesArcher]

Sorry, Princess.  It's not Uncle Miltie.

 

Here's a photo taken a few years later.

 

 

And one even later.

[Princess of Tap]

Sorry, Princess. It's not Uncle Miltie.

 

Here's a photo taken a few years later.

 

And one even later.

It's only logical --that that must be Spock, Leonard Nimoy.

[MilesArcher]

Yes, Princess, it's Leonard Nimoy.  He was born in Boston, the son of immigrant Russian Jews.  He used to say that his parents were considered to be aliens before they became American citizens.  Leonard was born a citizen, went to Hollywood, and became an alien.

 

Now, do you know who this is?

 

 

It's not Jackie "Butch" Jenkins.  This kid became a well known TV personality. 

[Princess of Tap]

He looks like he could be Donald Trump's brother--which would give him much chagrin because Trump is the butt of his best late night jokes--

 

Conan O'Brien

[MilesArcher]

Yes, that's Conan O'Brien.  Like Leonard Nimoy, he is from Boston.  Now, who is this?

 

That's a military school uniform that he's wearing.  He would go on to be a big TV star in the sixties.

[MilesArcher]

Here's a hint:  You know him from a western TV series.

[lavenderblue19]

He looks like Dan Blocker to me ?

[MilesArcher]

He looks like Dan Blocker to me ?

 

It certainly is Dan Blocker, who played Hoss Cartwright on "Bonanza".  His bio says that he weighed fourteen pounds at birth and he hit two hundred pounds when he was twelve.  Here he is in college with a friend.

 

Can you guess which one is Dan?

 

Now, do you know who this is?

 

 She became a singer who has also acted in several well known movies.

She looks too familiar to me to be a classic movie star; so I'm just going to go with my intuition from classic TV.

 

This singer had a TV show in the 1950s and a lot of hit records - - Rosemary Clooney.

 

My favorite one was " Mambo Italiano".

[MilesArcher]

Nice try, Princess, but this is not Rosemary Clooney.  This gal came along a bit later.  She was a regular on a music show in the late sixties and early seventies.  She started making movies in the eighties, and she also had her own short-lived musical variety show in the eighties.  

[MilesArcher]

Here's a hint:  This woman is also a song writer.  She has been Oscar nominated twice for songs that she wrote.  She may also have had some cosmetic surgery.

Now I know why her face looks so familiar - - when I was in college, we used to watch Porter Wagoner in the dorm for a couple laughs. A few of the girls thought that Dolly Parton was a female impersonator.

 

That brought back such memories - -I really like "Islands in the Stream" by the Bee Gees--that's the best song that she ever sang that she did not write.

[MilesArcher]

You got her, Princess.  Yes, it's Dolly Parton without one of her wigs.  Has she had cosmetic surgery?  Well, you can be the judge.

 

  

Young Dolly

 

Older Dolly

 

Maybe it's just the hair and makeup.

 

Now, do you know who this is?

You know her from daytime TV.

I'd say the big head belongs to Kelly Ripa ?

[MilesArcher]

Yes, it's Kelly Ripa.  Good work, Lavender.  

She hasn't really changed that much, has she?

 

Now, who is this?

She is a major star today.

 

[lavenderblue19]

Jennifer Lopez ?
