Could this be a very young Lloyd Nolan?

He's got Dane Clark eyes. And hair. When he had hair.

PS: Usually those of us who are hair obsessed do so out of envy. No names mentioned, of course.

Otto Kruger

Harold Gould?

Don't know but what a great face!

Kurt somebody. . . do you get anything for half names?

This one is driving me nuts! Philip Dorn?

Stephen Crane

Stephen (Stephan?) Crane - one of Lana Turner's husbands and father of her daughter, Cheryl?

Steven Crane

Well, the airbrushed paint on the photo print of your mystery dude washes off easily and the red grease pencil marks come off with a little rubbing with a cloth. So what's underneath is not destroyed. By the way, whatever happened to EAD? I miss the blood and gore.

Stephen Crane, Lana Turner's 2nd and 3rd husband (since their 1st go-round was annulled).

Henry Daniell.

Andy Russell?

Uuuuhm. I meant AED ... which prove my point that she's been missing in action for a long time. Molly sez it just proves I'm an old fud, as in fuddy duddy. Holy moly.

Stephan Bekassy.

It's Stephen Crane, as an actor, before he married Lana Turner and fathered Cheryl. The lady with her nose cut off seems to be Faye Emerson.

Could it be Farley Granger?

The lady is Faye Emerson.

Not sure, but I'm digging the ascot. I've got to get me one of these!!

this is a test....

The Sam Brown belt, as I understand it, was first used to carry a heavy sword and not have a conventional belt sag. I think law enforcement departments kept the belts long after swords went out of fashion because they help the wearers look official.

Stephen Crane.
