I'm trying to identify pictures of various celebrities. There are 22
pictures. The pictures are rather small and some are obscured. You can
see them at:
   http://homepage.mac.com/rcy

I will pay $50 if you can ID at least any 12 of the pictures. I will
tip an additional $4 per picture for any IDs above the 12.

IDing the picture should consist of either a URL of the picture in
question that references the celebrity, or lacking that a link to a
picture that closely resembles the celebrity.

Some of the celebrities are alive, some are dead, some are not real
(cartoons). Some are no doubt obscure, but they are celebrities.
Thanks!

Is this a joke?

Or an erroneous link?

I take it back...

My first click on the link led me to someone's boating vacation pictures.

But trying it a second time led to the actual snippets of celebs (of
whom I think I recognize 2 or 3).

Clarification of Question by toothpicktower-ga on 24 Dec 2005 14:27 PST

Still trying to get the hang of this comment system...

OK a few clarifications: 1) I don't agree that face 01 is John Wayne.
I've looked at some of the old pics of him and I don't think it's him.
2) I'll agree that face 18 is Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Also, when I set up this question I should've made it expire on
Tuesday 12/27/05 11:00 PST. Sorry about that, it's the first time I've
used this service. So I need it answered by then. So anyway, the list
as I currently agree it to be is:

01
02
03
04 Richard Gere - paf
05
06
07
08
09 Macaulay Culkin - tsilverman
10 Leonard Nimoy - tsilverman
11 Michael Richards - tsilverman
12 Biz Markie - maceo24
13
14 Marv Albert - maceo24
15
16 Tori Amos - politicalguru
17 AJ Foyt - maceo24
18 Kareem Abdul Jabbar - pafalafa
19 Ernest Thomas - kimlee1071
20
21
22 Ted Williams - maceo24

Thanks all and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

Thanks!

exceptional job on a tough question.

16--Demi Moore

17--Bruce Willis??

Let us know how it works out.

18 - Mr. T?

4- Richard Gere
6 - Boris Yeltsin ?

face 02 George Reeves http://www.angelfire.com/fl/JackCraig/SUPERMAN1.html

face 11 Michael Richards http://www.tv.com/michael-richards/person/998/photos.html

All this and NOW I find out that there are no openings for Researchers!!

You guys are doing great! You've got some spot on, the URLs are much
appreciate! It looks like everybody has gotten a couple right but also
a couple wrong. Here's my take so far:

tsilverman-ga: (05) Colin Hay, a provisional maybe, the rest look right!
cynthia-ga: (17) John Goodman, nope.
pafalafa-ga: with the exeption of (04) Richard Gere, no to the rest.
politicalguru-ga: (16) Tori Amos, bingo, no to the rest
maceo24-ga: (06) Boris Yeltsin, no, but all the rest I agree, I think
you're in the lead here.
kimlee1071-ga: (01) John Wayne (Marion Morrison) real interesting
guess but I'm just not sure, I'd like to see a better pix, (19) Ernest
Thomas, another good guess, I'll accept. (02) George Reeves, I
disagree.

I think that since maceo24-ga made the most right guesses with great
URLs I'll offer him the chance to be the first to take one more stab
at it to meet the 10 minimum IDs plus any extra for tips.

Maceo24 is not an official Researcher and cannot accept your offer of
payment. You can identify Researchers by their blue (linked) name.
Note the link to our FAQ's at the bottom of the page, it'll explain
the difference between Researchers and other registered users
(Commenters).

FYI - Here's the standings so far:

## NAME - first mentioned by

01 John Wayne - maceo24
02
03
04 Richard Gere - paf
05
06
07
08
09 Macaulay Culkin - tsilverman
10 Leonard Nimoy - tsilverman
11 Michael Richards - tsilverman
12 Biz Markie - maceo24
13
14 Marv Albert - maceo24
15
16 Tori Amos - politicalguru
17 AJ Foyt - maceo24
18
19 Ernest Thomas - kimlee1071

21
22 Ted Williams - maceo24

06--James Beard?   http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/CollectedInfo/images/james_beard.jpg

18--Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
http://www.strictlymint.com/online_store/store/images/29153.jpg

It's a stretch, but...


21--Arthur (the Aardvark)
http://www.kwaz.net/Images/ab1.JPG

8--Sure you don't want to consider Joe Gibbs?
http://dev.impactxxi.com/images/28/biojoe180.jpg

02 -- Harry Houdini
18 -- Richie Havens
19 -- Maya Angelou

tutuzdad-ga

Sorry pafalafa, don't think it's Joe Gibbs. Guy in the picture
w/bowling ball looks younger.

Also nix to Arthur the Aardvaark, Harry Houdini, Maya Angelou, and
Richie Havens. That face 02 sure looks familiar tho...

>>Guy in the picture w/bowling ball looks younger.<<


I'm sure they had cameras around when Joe Gibbs was younger!


The picture of Kareem Abdul Jabbar is also from long ago, when he was
a much younger man than he is today.

Well OK I will provisionally accept Joe Gibbs. Tho I think the
resemblance is more along the lines of that those 2 photos look like
brothers.

Well we're running out of time here so pafalafa if you would be so
kind to post an answer...

I'm pretty sure #8 is Earl Anthony.  He was a professional bowler. 
I'm a bowling dork and I used to watch bowling every Saturday on ABC. 
Plus, I just found this site that has the complete picture for you.  I
hope you get this since I already know the question is answered.
