MYSTERY GUEST

PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PHOTO AND TELL ME WHO YOU THINK IT IS.

DON'T GO GOOGLING, I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THAT CRAP.

thank you.

MYSTERY EXPOSED

SUCH MARVELOUS GUESSES!

SUCH WITTY RESPONSES!

Alas, everyone was incorrect. As you can see, our Mystery lad was none 

other than the recently departed bear, James Gandolfini. I'd always secretly hoped that one 

day scads of dollars would be thrown at James, Edie Falco, et al. and a Sopranos' movie would 

bring us back to New Jersey, but with James making a too early exit, it's all over.

Forever.

MYSTERY GUEST

AND NO CHEATING!

if you do cheat, i'll eat four pounds of asparagus 

and come and pee on your front door.

REVELATION

Yes, Muscato & Jason 

(who commented at precisely the same moment) are correct. 

This is in fact the once magnificent Claudia Cardinale.

I know I'm shallow, but when I came upon that current shot, 

it floored me. I recall a old friend telling me that Italians don't age well. I feel I may have begged to differ with him, but in this case...

***

Of course, I do give dear Claudia a standing 

ovation for letting time cum all over her and she 

resisting the urge to wipe that time off.

MYSTERY GUEST

NO CHEATING!

Do you know who she is?

BTW.....

THE MYSTERY GUEST?

JEAN SEBERG

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR POPPING IN!!

MYSTERY GUEST

KNOW WHO THIS OLD WOMAN IS?

NELL NEWMAN

While thumbing through Martha Stewart's Whole Living, I came upon this shot of Paul and Joanne's daughter. I think I should've used this shot and not the one I grabbed off the internet. Lesson learned. I fell in love with Nell Potts when she played daughter Matilda to Joanne's Beatrice Hunsdorfer in "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon-Marigolds". Adored that movie. Nell also played Joanne's character Rachel (as a young girl) in 

"Rachel, Rachel", another of my favorites.

Did you know that Nell had been cast as Addie in "Paper Moon?" Paul was set to play Moses, but they left the production because of a director change.

Nell runs her father's company, quite well it appears.

Dear Ru from Brasil all but named Nell where George spelled it out. Thank you EVERYONE  for stopping in! I'm amazed you have any free time, considering the pressures of the impending cooking extravaganza happening at MJ's.

MYSTERY GUEST

ANYONE KNOW WHO SHE IS?

MYSTERY GUEST REVEALED

Here's our little mystery guest with his sister, Dad and Mom. 

That's right, he's little Joey Luft, Judy and Sid's youngest. 

I hunted around a bit to see what I could find out about him. Not much. I'm sure there are readers who know all there is to know. I found a message board that did lots of speculating about him....fetal alcohol syndrome, drug abuse......it couldn't have been easy.

Thanks everyone for playing along! You're just dolls, all of you!

MYSTERY GUEST

OUR MYSTERY GUEST IS THE GENT ON THE LEFT.

ANY GUESSES?

STARTLING!

Do you know who she is?

AND YET ANOTHER MYSTERY

THIS PHOTO IS FOR SALE ON EBAY. 

THE SELLER CLEARLY STATES WHO SHE IS. 

I BEGRUDGINGLY AGREE WITH THE SELLER. 
TO ME, THIS IS TOUGH. DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS?
