1950s Celebrities by Picture #1

Nice quiz idea :)

I didn't recognize Gregory Peck; where is that picture from?

Thought Cary Grant was Jimmy Stewart in that picture. Darn it.

me too

And I.

I've always loved Cary Grant movies. I'm thinking that photo came from Charade...nope, just looked it up, it's North by Northwest. His suit was a little darker in Charade.

I actually ended up shouting "North by Northwest!" at my screen because I knew just who it was and I couldn't summon the name for some reason. I cycled through all the old names...Stewart, Cooper, Cagney, Tracy, even though I knew they were wrong. Cary Grant. Gah.

Zsa Zsa Gabor was an absolute stunner back in the day

Sophia Loren and Chuck Berry are the only ones still alive.

Not anymore. RIP Chuck.

A weird mob of celebrities. Imagine Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe WW2, President of USA for 8 years and now stuck in with a mob of actors and singers from showbiz except for a man who hits rubber balls about a field and the founder of Communism in China, who could easily link arms with Hitler and Stalin. Is this where the future lies?

The link is "1950s" that's all

And Mao is also part of your actor-singer-mob?

What, never heard of Mao Zedong and the Dongettes? A famous vaudeville act in their day.

"The Hokey Pokey" is a translation of "The Great Leap Forward," originally written to illustrate the principles of dialectical materialism. That is, in fact, what it's all about.

Very weird comment

Other than a beauty mark that is further towards the ear, it's remarkable how much Zsa Zsa Gabor looked like Kim Novak.

Lawrence Welk is sort of creepily aggressive with that accordion.

I mistaked Mao Zedong for Kim-Jong il

I never imagine Paul Newman to have been young, as I've only ever seen him on bottles of salad dressing :D

Hmm I watch too many reruns on TV

I guessed one of the ones I didn't recognise might well be Lawrence Welk, whose name I only know through Richard Pryor. Unfortunately, I assumed it was spelt Whelk!

Did this quiz for fun! Could not guess any

More people got Mao than Eisenhower.

And one of them did not even make it past 1955.

Easiest one of these for me, I zipped right through it. (It helped to be born in the 50s and only get one TV channel. It played movies late at night.)

she looks like she could be related to Audrey Hepburn, like her older sister or very young mother. Both beautiful.

Newman!

Didn't realize Mao Zedong was a celebrity

Zedong alone should work.

Forgot Chuck Berry, Gregory Peck and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Now HE was Funny and witty and smart and entertaining. I met him when I was three. He was doing a movie with Art Carney and I walked uo to him because my mom watched the Honeymooners. He was SO nice to me and actually, I did not like him. His character scared me when he screamed. But as an adult I find him so lovable and in person he was WONDERFUL with kids! Art Carney on the other-hand was such a disappointment i thought he would be like funny Norton and he did not know how to interact with a child. I think he was gay becasue he never married and he was just so weird. I cried telling my mom I did not like Norton and I loved Jackie<3 To this day Jackie Gleason is my favorite entertainer ever. If he were thin he would have been so handsome-that black Irish beauty. I started watching with my mom and loving him and knowing he was just kidding and a big lovable bear. As Alice said in real life he was so lovable. ONly ugly Trixie Joyce Randolph said nasty things about him And

I think they shouldhave kept the original Trixe she was SO pretty and had a commanding presence but I think she fell ill. She was way better than Randolph and to speak ill of the dead is so gauche. Joyce Randolph looked like a man in drag really ugly horseface.

OMG no offense to any Scandinavian Americans but that show "Lawrence Welk" was retarded. My grandmother watched reruns of when I was little and I was so bored. She was so smart and so was my grandfather but he left the room he couldn't stand it either. It was pathetic no humour just inane. I guess he was from the Pacific Northwest or Minnesota. lol!

Welk of course not my grandfather!
