Movieland Mystery Photo

Los Angeles Times file photo  Update: Hampton Fancher III in a promotional photo for "Rome Adventure" stamped Dec. 5, 1963 Here’s our mystery fellow for the week. Our guest host is regular Daily Mirror reader Dewey Webb!

Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday ... or on Saturday if I have a hard time picking only five pictures; sometimes it's difficult to choose. To keep the mystery photo from getting lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day. I have to approve all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone else, there's no point in submitting it again). If you're right, you will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only reward is bragging rights.  Last week’s mystery guest was Constance Dowling and the fellow mourning the demolition of the Paramount Theater was bandleader Rube Wolf. There’s a new photo on the jump!

Los Angeles Times file photo Update: Fancher in another promotional picture for “Rome Adventure.” Here’s Tuesday’s photo of our mystery guest with – that’s right – a painted tie. Please congratulate Jenny M, Mike Hawks and Pamela Porter for identifying him! Los Angeles Times file photo Update: A news photo accompanying the story that Sue Lyon, 17, will marry actor Hampton Fancher III, 25, in a photo dated Dec. 3, 1963   For Wednesday, our mystery fellow has a (somewhat) mysterious companion. Please congratulate Carmen and Julie Merholz for identifying him! Photograph by George R. Fry Jr. / Los Angeles Times Update: Sue Lyon and Hampton Fancher III get a marriage license at the Santa Monica courthouse, Dec. 18, 1963.

Nope, not a clue. I bet he came from the Midwest, had about seven siblings, and went to Hollywood after senior year because everyone in school told him he looked like Gregory Peck's younger brother, though.
