Here’s our mystery guest for the week. Last week’s mystery fellow was Michael Ansara and the weekend guest was Robert Mitchum’s brother John, who also performed as John Mallory. There’s a new photo on the jump!

Photograph by Edward Gamer / Los Angeles Times   Nearly everybody recognized our mystery guest! Please congratulate Pamela Porter, Grammy Flo, Jenny M, Mark Heimback-Nielsen, Dewey Webb, Mary Mallory, Mike Hawks, Barbara Klein, Pat in Michigan, Carmen, Waldo Lydecker (too easy), Patricia van Hartesveldt, Eve, Fibber McGee (always did like her), Rob, Agatha Grafton, Claire Lockhart, Karen, Joan, Anne Papineau, Lee Ann, Thom and Megan, Rance Ryan, CandyC, Gerald McCann, Rick Scott (are the replies just rushing in?), Benito, Sharon2 (easy one), Craig Deco, Rob, Stacia and LC.   Los Angeles Times file photo   Here’s our mystery guest with two mystery companions. Please congratulate Herb Nichols, Julie Merholz, Roget-L.A., Robert S. Levinson (twice), Sandy, Periwinkle, Cynthia K., Jeff, LilySweet, Don Young, Mark and Kauma for identifying her!   Los Angeles Times file photo   For Thursday, our mystery woman has a (totally not) mysterious companion. Please congratulate Vanessa Carey, Rosalyn and Chasmid for identifying her!   Los Angeles Times file photo   For Friday, our mystery gal has a mystery companion who seems to be quite upset. Please congratulate Lynne Levine, Rick, Ronald Emmis, Diane Ely and Cos for identifying her.  But wait. What’s this?! As several people noticed, something is wrong! In 1970, The Times published this photo and said it was Diane Baker in “Nine Hours to Rama.” Because that’s what the caption information said.    Los Angeles Times file photo   But it’s actually “Nine Hours to Rama” co-star Valerie Gearon!   Los Angeles Times file photo   Because in “Nine Hours to Rama,” Diane Baker looks like this!
