Are you kiddin me....it's Jack Benny!!! I liked him too, The Horn Blows at Midnight is one of my old favorites,
although with Charley's Aunt, George Washington Slept Here and of course To Be or Not To Be.

This fresh face ended up starring in the quintessential film noir. Along with many many other notable performances in his long career. He always had his greatest successes when playing against type.

A couple of his first leading ladies, Katherine Hepburn and Claudette Colbert, (who he co-starred with 4 times that I know of).

I'm going to guess William Powell.

I had a dog and Bingo was his name-o.

It was extremely hard to find a picture that didn't really look like him.

Fred MacMurray had a very stellar career.

But he will always be Walter Neff to me and a lot of folks. His best work was when he played against type.

4th of July..Crikey! I think my neighbors were trying to recreate World War II and doing a bang up job of it.

All right! Image I wasn't sure, but I thought I could tell by the eyes. Fred MacMurray is a favorite of mine. He was marvelous in Double Indemnity, but what is most special to me is his portrayal of Steve Douglas in My Three Sons. That is one of my favorite shows of all time, especially the early B&W episodes. And also, the very first movie I ever saw in the theatre was Son of Flubber. :D

My neighbors were at it last night, too. I don't know what war they were trying to re-create. Maybe it was several combined. :lol: And I live in town where the houses are very close. :roll:

All right, here's a two-fer. (This may be too easy.) Both of these actesses starred in popular situation comedies in the early '60's. Hint: both series were set in New York City.

Donnie I have been studying these two faces and I don't see a hint of anybody I might know. I need a crumb Donnie.

The dark haired gal reminds me of somebody, but I don't know who. The bottom gal's picture to me looks like something for the 1940s and the top one from the 50's early 60's. Oh and she is eating a hot-dog, well holding a hot dog bun anyway.

I cheated everybody and wow, the first gal was such a surprise to me and now of course I see her as we all remember her the most, but she had some work done on her nose. I still won't spill the beans as to her name.

Honestly I am not a cheat by nature (what all cheats say LOL) .

Still no clue on the second gal.
