Robert Taylor or Johnny Weissmuller?

How do you play tenor with a cigar in your right hand? I call foul.

No Taylor! no Weissmuller!

If somebody could hold a sax and a cigar at the same time, the man here surely could!
Wish there was sound attached to the image!

Cigar I've never done, but have done cigarette many a time, inspired by seeing Cannonball Adderley doing the same on alto.

It's not that hard, really, not if you're in good playing shape and have your hand position and finger movements as controlled as they should be.

Orson Welles?

Orson Welles?

ooooooo great guess - i think so!

[brownie]

Orson Welles?

We have a winner! The photo was taken in 1943 when Laurel and Hardy sport the zoot suits they wore in the film 'Jitterbugs'? Welles was filming 'Jane Eyre' at the same time and wears the appropriate costume for the part!

[T.D.]

Excellent one! I'm a huge Orson Welles fan, thought the guy looked a bit familiar, but essentially had no clue.

[Shawn]

This one should be easy.

Is it Ozzy?

Yes. John Osbourne as a youngster.

Don't think I'd have gotten that one. It's hard to remember when he wasn't just a biscuit short of three bills.

Did y'all check out the guitar stand? We've come a long ways.

Definitely a foul- he's not even holding the instrument in a correct playing position (not to mention any kind of embouchure) but it's a great picture anyway. Stan is holding the trombone fairly awkwardly but Ollie looks fairly natural on the trumpet (plus the requisite cigarette in the left hand). Love the hipster vibe!

Correct, Jack! He was a favorite of my mother's.

Yup, one in the same, the now pregnant Snooki who is, apparently, engaged to her boyfriend (and I assume the father) Jianni LeValle. Just to be sure, she should run a DNA test to confirm that The Situation isn't involved. What a revoltin' development that would be.

this is a tough one...I sure wouldn't have guessed! (tiny hint, you will know her name)

Yep, that's her! I never would have guessed that...never seen a photo of her younger...

Ok, this one is kinda sideways...this person is not particularly famous herself - but her father was, and the resemblance is there.





Hint - she performed with her father on several occasions, some of which can be found on YouTube.

Not sure that is Nancy, did he ever sing with Tina Sinatra???

edit:typed every

Edited by BERIGAN, 15 March 2012 - 11:18 PM.

[JSngry]

Not a Sinatra, she's not.

But her dad worked with Sinatra several times over the years.

[JSngry]

Further hint - here dad & Sinatra worked together in the 1940s as members of somebody else's band, and then again in 1982 as more or less co-billed headliners (Sinatra always was top bill).

Too generous with the hints, Jim! (I'd otherwise have had no clue )

Ma Clampett?!?

[GA Russell]

Valerie, it's Granny! Didn't you ever watch the show? LOL

Yes, Irene Ryan looks to me like a different person than Granny. She was 60 years old when she started playing Granny, and IMO she looked closer to 75. I wonder how much of it was make-up, and how much of it was her.
