no win yet on #98. He starred in early films of Peter Sellers, a flick with Stanley Baker, a lurid horror film (this was the Hammer heyday, remember) and then went into Brit sit-coms and Brit tv commercials. One of the most familiar faces in GB.

[Jill]

Tony Hancock?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

naw

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

He and his brother began on the nightclub circuit

Quiz #99, British! A leading lady of the 30s. Though famed more for stage than screen, she appears in 40+ pictures beginning in 1914 all the way to the late 1960s. Several of them, we know well around here.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

QUIZ #100! Australian!

[Betsy]

He looks like an Australian Ben Turpin, except for the eyes.

[Jill]

99 - Evelyn Laye?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

not

[Betsy]

Guess for #98 - Dennis Price?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

wide of the mark

[Jill]

#99 - Alma Taylor?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

sadly, no!

[Jill]

#100 - Clyde Cook?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Yes! Good job! Quiz #100 is a nice notch on your sixgun...

[Betsy]

A guess for #99 - Margaret Wycherly?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

that's a clever guess but no

[Jill]

#99 - Elisabeth Risdon?

[Betsy]

Yea, Jill, for #100! I probably have 100 more gray hairs because of this game!

[Jill]

Me too, Betsy but I am having fun when I'm not pounding my fists on the desk trying to figure out who some of these folks are.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

I was mighty curious to see who would nab Clyde Cook. Thought it would be more of a stumper. But what a mug that guy has

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

What amazes me is how big some of these stars were and now they're barely known even to most classic movie buffs like ourselves

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Three cherries for Jill re: Clyde Cook

[Betsy]

Would you have another photo of #98?

[Jill]

I guess Elisabeth Risdon (#99) is incorrect.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

another glance at #98

[Jill]

#99 - Lillian Harvey?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

nawp!

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Quiz #101. American.

[Jill]

#101 - Ken Murray?

[Betsy]

Another guess for #98 - John Comer?

[Jill]

I think you got it, Betsy.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Yes indeed. A winnah! Betsy scores John Comer. Deft as all get-out!

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Comer was in a long, long, long-standing British beer commercial. Numerous TV programs. As well as, "the Return of Dr. Phibias" with everyone's fave scenery-eater, Vincent Price. He was in "Battle of Britain" and several other lurid Brit romps. Good win there for Betsy.

[Jill]

I guess Ken Murray is wrong. He surely looks like him.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Agreed very close but nope

[Jill]

#101 - I know this is wrong but I have to try. Bruce Cabot?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

wrong planet!

[Jill]

#99 - Diana Wynyard?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

noooes

[Jill]

Bah!!

[Betsy]

I had debated on her too, Jill. Any chance of another photo?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

extra image for #99. As cinema matured (1940s, 1950s) of course she played grande dames and dowagers because by then she was not a filly anymore. She had made her film debut in 1911. But you can see from younger photos that her classic features certainly didn't hurt her when it came to the Shakespearian stage. And of course she had the talent.

[Jill]

#99 - Blanche Sweet?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

.......no

[Jill]

#99 - Fay Compton?

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Yes! Good score there!

Fay Compton, sister of the famous author; known for her diverse repertoire of stage roles. She played Ophelia to Gielgud's 'Hamlet' in the 1930s.

Well done.

[Jill]

Thanks, it took a while but the second picture gave me the clue.

Now, how about another picture of the Ken Murray look-alike which I will tackle tomorrow. Thanks, Feliks.

[Feliks, Co-Moderator]

Nothing doing! #101 is a very famous all-American star, which you ought to discover by the process of deduction. So you must dangle a little longer on that one before I give rein to any pity.

I will offer this: he is not known for making very many movies about 'firemen'. This picture is probably the least one out there, which I might have ever chosen to indicate his illustrious career.

[Jill]

You are pitiless!!!

Well, here is the dumbest guess yet..........Dick Powell?
