Great quiz, hon! But you left out a few......: director John Waters (Hairspray) and his leading lady Divine (born: Glenn Milstead), actors John Astin (The Addams Family, Attack of The Killer Tomatoes series) and Hans Conried (Peter Pan, Hoppity Hooper and 5000 Fingers of Dr. T), director Barry Levinson (Diner) and composer and musician Frank Zappa. All born in Baltimore. But I know you can't fit everyone in there! "Gotta go now to Ollie's Bargain Owl-let to pick up some Chapanese flip-flops and pack a Luckies before headin' out to de O's game, now."

It would be fun to edit the Julia Louis-Dreyfus question to include both the actress, and the character Elaine (from Towson).

Easier than most famous state residents quizzes. Maybe Marylanders are more noteworthy than most. Also... I love that you worked Filliam H Muffman into a quiz finally.

People can be from more than one place. Henson was born and lived his early childhood in Mississippi, but spent his teen, college, and early professional life in Maryland.

The last 4 have clues under them. Kind of defeats the purpose of a "by picture" quiz.

I saw the picture and knew it was one of the directors "weird 70s" movies from the Washington DC/Baltimore area. Clue it isn't my first guess, John Lynch.

as a non-American, I always try Babe Ruth when I see an old baseball picture. Glad it paid off for once!

Non American here, half those faces are totally unknown to me. On the other hand, it made me smile that you had to specify "sang Strange Fruit" under Billie's photo, which was one of the easiest to me!
