TIS had a good idea to open a game for guessing the name of a famous person from an old photo.

I'll start with this bodybuilder. Anyone recognize him?







Uploading a Picture to the BB

1) Find a picture on the internet.
2) Right-click on it, and Save to your desktop (so it's easy to find)
3) Go to http://www.tinypic.com/ and hit Choose File (choose the one you just saved to your desktop)
4) You should then be presented with links, choose the "Forum" link
5) Copy/Paste that link into your post.

You can test the process out first in the The Official "Test" Thread in the Help Forum to be sure you did it correctly

Wow, good pic SC. smile However, I'm not knowledgeable on body builders. Hmmmm. Wasn't there one named Atlas? confused

Looks like a very old picture. Maybe from the 20s?

OK, two "hints" to start. The picture was ca. 1950. He'd go on to great fame but not as a bodybuilder.

I didn't think I knew any body builders but then off the top of my head I remembered Arnold (but I KNOW it's not him) and I think Lou Ferrigno (Incredible Hulk). But I think they'd both be too young for that picture in 1950.

Right; I know Ferrigno was born the same year as me (1951, also from Brooklyn) and Arnie was sometime in the mid '40s (I think).

Look at the face.... it hasn't changed all that much.

Hmmm I am stumped. confused Not Johnny Weismuller? He was an olympic swimmer I think, not a body builder. Again, the face does look kind of familiar.

Would it be cheating for you to post another picture of the same guy? grin

Yeah. grin

Hint: he bonded with a lot of fans in some of his roles. Also, do some math.... this picture was taken about 1950. He looks to be about 20 years old there, so that would make him about 80 years old now. He's still alive.

Took me a moment or two, but I recognized it because of the man.

It's a photo from the 1958 play Ulysses in Nighttown, based on a part of the novel Ulysses by James Joyce. The man is Zero Mostel, and the woman is Bea Arthur (from TV's Maude and Golden Girls).

Incidentally, six years later in 1964, Mostel created the role of "Tevye" on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof, and Bea Arthur was the original "Yente the Matchmaker."

Got this one immediately - but I'm not going to spoil it for the rest of you.

Odd thing: he would have been about 15 in the photo, and yet he's smoking a pipe?? uhwhat He certainly wasn't known for smoking a pipe.

I'm not going to say anything more. shhh

I don't think that's who it is, Mig - MacMurray was born in 1908 and would have only been around seven years old in 1915. This "kid" looks a bit older.

I'm only guessing about the date of the picture (but I'm fairly sure I'm within a few years).

One hint: you've seen him around these boards a lot.
