NO.NO.NO. What is wrong with your eyes people? 
:smack:
OK I have read every word in this thread and looked at every picture link. After those 2 hours that I will never get back and am now invested in, my money is STILL on Richman as he is the ONLY picture that even looks remotely accurate.
I do not care that he denies it, it’s him. Game over, the Richman backers win 
Maybe he has alzheimers or dementia but that is him DAMNIT! 
Richman is married to an actress who is decades younger than he is. He seems to be healthy, going by public appearances as late as April, 1014. Here is her contact info: Contact
I think it is a close match but not quite exact. I am going by the arch of the eyebrows, the nose tip, and the apple of the cheek. However, PMR and MM have the same kind of smile: closed mouth where they draw in their top lips. Upon printing the photo, I see that MM has a bigger lower lip than I thought.
Is he still touring with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner?
I saw it and could not find an edit button.:smack: I wanted to rewrite the entire post.
At this point I’m fully in the Jean Paul Belmondo camp (well, to the point I’m in any camp). MM’s hair has a really distinctly-articulated part, and a swoop across the forehead, a lot like this
I also like the fact that he’s sitting apart from the rest of them & not part of their gang.
Yeah, I know…it’s probably some other guy, but this is the story I’m sticking with.
What’s wrong with you guys? It’s Ed McMahon
Photoplay president Al Traina.

I leave it to others to decide what it all means.
We have an answer! Thank you Vashbul!
(What to decide? The photo in question with MM identified as Al Traina. Done.)
Fantastic! How did you find this?
Well Hell. Jean Paul Belmondo is more interesting, but there he is an empty suit. Good Job Vasbul
I was beginning to think we’d never get an answer. Thanks, Vashbul!
Vashbul gets Doper of the Month. We should all pitch in and get him a mug or something.
Amen!
Clearly, it’s faked!
Hell, we should buy him a fucking CAR! Or an airplane. Something big. I’m in awe. I bow to your superior superiority.
Just shut up. <said wearily>
As I mentioned before, I got it from Harvard’s library, microfilm collection.
If anyone cares, I have posted the complete issue. (Sorry, it’s a rather big file; I don’t know how to make it any smaller.) Patty Duke Pregnant By Man She Won’t Name! John Wayne’s Screaming Battles with his Wife!
Thank you, Vashbul. What is funny is that I could never guess from the other pics of him in the article that he is the MM. They don’t match either. He does look exactly like his obit pic, though.
