Another installment of: Who Is/Was That Person?

Didn’t know that Allesandro whatever his last name- was attended. I do remember the nuns always telling us that he truly repented of his crime and was still in prison or at least alive in the 1960s.

  1. George P. Burdell
  2. Penelope Ashe
  3. Major William Martin
  4. David Manning

I’ll take two shots at this one…

Peyton and Eli’s successful-at-something-else brother? Or the bishop from Cole Porter’s “You’re the Top”?

To clean up from a couple of pages back, Jake Lingle was a Chicago Tribune reporter widely thought to have been on Capone’s payroll till he was violently removed.

Another famous Dowson line was “I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! In my fashion”, a reassurance to a woman who wouldn’t have him that he was meanwhile contenting himself strictly with the services of professionals.

I’ll be back with a few in a bit.

Nope on both.

As a hint: the most recent four I submitted have something in common.

Ask Alan Smithee. :smiley:

I forgot about:

  1. Cassie Davis: actress-comedienne with buck teeth and a big but.

Ok, sorry for such a long bit. I was quaffing deeply from the champagne flute of life.

  1. Ely Parker
  2. Paul Whiteman
  3. Monk Eastman
  4. Frank Harris
  5. Manolete
  6. Dorothy Richardson

The Jack Cole I was thinking of invented Plastic Man, killed himself, drew cartoons for Playboy, and was the subject of a bio by Art Spiegelman (of Maus fame).

  1. Big band leader, gave Bing Crosby his big break
  2. Author of the long banned “My Life and Loves”*
  3. Matador

*Also target of one of Oscar Wilde’s quips. After Harris had been dropping names about the famous people he’d been visiting, Wilde observed, “Frank Harris has been in all the great houses of England – once.”

In that order? :smiley:

Yet ten more:
213. Jesse Unruh
214. Roy Wilkins
215. Louisa Moritz
216. Eero Saarinen
217. Frank Edwards
218. Peggy O’Neil
219. Yaphet Kotto
220. James Baldwin
221. Swede Risberg
222. Alfred Lunt
223. Exapno Mapcase (the original one)

  1. Spree killer, murdered about a dozen people in Hoboken? Camden? (It was somewhere in NJ)
  2. Civil rights leader, headed the NAACP from the mid-50s to mid-70s
  3. Architect, best known for the Gateway Arch in St. Louis
  4. Actor, played the villain in “Live and Let Die”
  5. Novelist, works include “Fire on the Mountain”
  6. One of the Black Sox
  7. Stage (and occasionally movie) actor, partnered with Lynn Fontaine

Some veteran Republican politicos in Sacramento might agree with you on this one. :smiley:

Still in play also:

Harpo Marx

Apparently, I ID’d Howard Unruh instead of Jesse Unruh. Never mind.

  1. Bo Donaldson
  2. Frank Cho
  3. Mickey Rapkin
  4. Colonel Matt Winn
  5. Harold Lipschitz
  6. Drew Curtis
  7. Larissa Kelly
  8. Chiney Ogwumike

Clear up some outstanding clues

  1. Cornell Haynes
    Rapper Nelly

  2. Richard Bright
    actor, played Al Neri in the three Godfather films. Died a couple years ago, got hit by a bus.

  3. Don MacNeil was the long time host of the original Breakfast Club, radio program back in the 1960s. Think it originated in Chicago

  4. Mendel Rivers
    long US Representative from South Carolina, brought home so much defense spending in his district that folks wondered by Charleston Island didn’t sink under the weight of all the military installations on it.

  5. Lydia Cornell- you guys can’t forget her, I’ll give you another chance.

Busty blonde actress, was on Ted Knight’s sitcom Too Close For Comfort. I believe she played one of Ted’s daughters.

Peggy O’Neil; Shaw’s girl?

Louisa Moritz can’t be the saint, because then it’d be Ste. Moritz, not St. So, I don’t know.

Harold Lipschitz…Hal Linden?

Bo Donaldson, frontman (if you’ll excuse the anachronism) of the Heywoods.

Larissa Kelly, Jeopardy! champ.

Bill Roberts, invented the Hula Hoop? The skateboard? The Frisbee? The Twist?

Nope … it’s not because of anything he created.

On her original run, we called her “The Machine” at our house because of how she quietly but completely chewed up her opponents. She came in 2nd on her Tournament of Champions appearance (I remember thinking she made a bad bet on the 2nd day Final question). Her husband and sister were also contestants on the show (not sure how her sister did, but her husband was one of the many many victims of Ken Jennings).
