Recognize these young movie stars? I read about lots of Hollywood marriages as I go through the old papers--and even more Hollywood divorces. So as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward celebrate their 50th anniversary, I thought I'd run a few pictures from the early days.

Newman and Woodward--isn't this a great picture? (Even though it's unidentified). A reader tells me this is a scene in "From the Terrace."

Newman and Woodward arrive for the 1969 Academy Awards, when "Rachel, Rachel" (produced by Newman) was a contender for best picture and Woodward was nominated for best actress.
Larry Harnisch. The leading Black Dahlia expert and a collaborator in the 1947project, Harnisch has been a copy editor at The Times since 1988. He has appeared on many TV shows discussing the Dahlia case, notably "James Ellroy's Feast of Death."
Join him for a spin through old Los Angeles in the Mirror's radio car. Keep your eyes open for Mickey Cohen and Tempest Storm. It's quite a ride.
The reporter's badge belonged to Sid Hughes (1908-1958), legendary reporter who worked at nearly every newspaper in Los Angeles.
Keith Thursby. Keith has been an editor at The Times in news, sports and design since 1986. The Rams moved to St. Louis on his first day as assistant sports editor of the paper's Orange County edition. He grew up in Norwalk and lives in Irvine.
To complete the story, you need a picture of them NOW.
Hard to believe he's in his 80s.
