Movieland Mystery Photo

Los Angeles Times file photo

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 or Saturday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only reward is bragging rights.  Last week’s mystery guests were Raymond Hackett and Blanche Sweet.   The weekend mystery guests were Mary McIvor and William Desmond.  There’s a new photo on the jump!

Los Angeles Times file photo    For Tuesday, our mystery guest has a mystery companion. Almost everyone identified our mystery woman.  Please congratulate: Mary Mallory, Carmen, Jenny M., Lee Ann Thom and Megan, Eve (Oh, heavens ... I think everyone will know her!) Golden, Mike Hawks, Claire Lockhart, Dewey Webb, Anne Papineau, Barbara Klein, Periwinkle, Steve Stoliar, LC, Gregory Moore, Lynne Levine, Randy Skretvedt, Rick (Finally one I can get) Scott,  Angus, Mark Heimback-Nielsen, RJ, Cat (I'm so excited I never get these!) M, Stacia (This is like Everett Sloane week when dozens of us guess it on the first day, isn't it), Don Danard AND Alexa Foreman. Whew I think that's everybody. Los Angeles Times file photo   For Wednesday, here’s another photo of our mystery gal with a (not very) mysterious companion. Please congratulate Herb Nichols, Julie Merholz, Gerald McCann, Kevin Kusinitz, La Peregrina and David Thompson for identifying her. Los Angeles Times file photo Here’s our mystery woman with another mystery companion. Everybody recognized Wednesday’s mystery fellow. Los Angeles Times file photo And for Friday, our mystery guest has another mystery companion! Now then, I’ve been busy researching The Times bombing, so I haven’t given everybody proper credit. I think that by now nearly everyone has identified our mystery gal. Is there anyone who didn’t recognize Guy Kibbee from Wednesday? I don’t think so! (Unfortunately the movie isn’t identified on the back of the photo.) Mike Hawks recognized the movie in Thursday’s photo but not the mystery guest (he’s not identified on the back of the photo so I have no idea who he is).

"Whew I think that's everybody."

Not every one yet. That is the late, great, Aline MacMahon . :)
(I'm always late to the party.)

[David Thompson]

Aline MacMahon - She was great in "Gold Diggers of 1933"

[Diane Ely]

Not me - I have no idea who she is.

Helen Broderick of Astaire/Rogers fame.

[Dewey Webb]

Guy Kibbee

[Anne Papineau]

Guy Kibbee, what happened to your head?

[Mary Mallory]

Guy Kibbee today.

[Periwinkle]

What a week. Instant recognition. Ms. MacMahon is with Guy Kibbee.

[Steve Stoliar]

Well, for today it's Guy Kibbee with Aline MacMahon.

[Mike Hawks]

The man for today is Guy Kibbee.

[Arye Michael Bender]

Aileen McMahon with Guy Kibbee, the perfect cleaned-up dirty old man. He often got the William Frawley roles first.

[Barbara Klein]

Guy Kibbee, with Aline MacMahon.

[Cold in PHX]

Dunno her, but that's Guy Kibbee, so I'm going to take a stab and say she's Marjorie Augusta Gateson.

[Mark Heimback-Nielsen]

And Wednesday's mystery companion is Guy Kibbee

[Agnieszka]

its Aline MacMahon.
