	Awwww, I never could spell. I thought the first one had a J in the middle, not a G. Nice idea for a quiz, as always my old eyes wish the pictures were a little bigger. ;)

	Dolley Madison looks like Barbra Streisand in "Hello Dolly."

	piehole4ever:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 04:29 GMT	12 points
	I totally typed Streisand.

	I have good eyes and I had a real hard time seeing some of these pictures.

	I suggest accepting Babe Didrikson as an alternate.

	Retracto:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 04:40 GMT	15 points
	I'd prefer accepting J in place of G as well. The modern G spelling just doesn't ring true.

	MsShenanigans:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 04:57 GMT	12 points
	It should accept Sacajawea as well as Sacagawea. Everyone learns it differently

	idledandy:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 05:04 GMT	8 points
	Pocahontas should also accept Matoaka (her given name) and Rebecca Rolfe. But yes, I tried them just to be a smartypants.

	The Audrey Hepburn stamp is simply beautiful.

	pika:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 07:04 GMT	3 points
	im pretty sure you can spell sacagawea with a j as well. both are acceptable

	cmkeller:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 07:59 GMT	2 points
	Ditto on allowing alternate spellings for Sacagawea. I've even seen it spelled "Sakakawea".

	Man, Susan B. Anthony was brutal to look at! No wonder they wouldn't let her vote...

	I agree with VEC. Babe Didrickson was famous for being the best all-around female athlete before she married, and even then she was usually referred to as Babe Didrickson Zaharias, not just Babe Zaharias, at least for a long time afterward.

	Ditto on accepting the spelling "Sacajawea". Here is a discussion on the spelling of her name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea#Name If there is that much controversy over how to spell someones name, then the alternates have to be accepted. The article staes that spelling it with a j is now considered incorrect but it was widely taught through much of the 2oth century, and in my own case it is how I learned it. Granted it is a minor point, but Sporcle really needs to fix this.

	Is Pocahontas wearing a top hat?? I'm very confused.

	Hejman:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 11:49 GMT	6 points
	This quiz is tough enough without spelling issues, so I've added Sacajawea. I'm a bit perplexed about Babe, though. Both 'Babe Didrikson' and just plain 'Didrikson' have always been accepted (an issue that was previously addressed in the archived comments). Perhaps people are trying to spell it with a 'c' or ending in 'sen'? Regardless, 'Didrikson' has always been in there.

	5 minutes felt very short for so many stamps! Maybe add one or 2 more? 7 seems about ideal.

	slamb:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 12:27 GMT	8 points
	For those that tried "Streisand", you have to be dead to be on a US postage stamp or coin. Babs is still alive.

	Kept trying Maharias for Babe Zaharias. The only time I ever saw Ethel Merman was when she did her cameo in Airplane! Had no idea what she looked like in her prime.

	There's No Business Like Show Business.. I love that scene! Koltrane - I nearly spit on my keyboard. That cracked me up.

	heidihopes:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 13:44 GMT	15 points
	Why does Pocahontas look like the Mad Hatter?

	hodgetiger:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 13:53 GMT	4 points
	this quiz had me licked !!

	JamesSnell:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 13:58 GMT	0 points
	I suck at stamps.

	VintageLuv:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 16:53 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz! I feel good about getting just over half of them. And how did you buy a stamp for one and a half cents?! Pennies are annoying anyway, but carrying around half pennies? No thanks!

	amyh984:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 17:14 GMT	1 point
	The Patsy Cline stamp really resembles Condoleeza Rice, but then I remembered the rule that the person had to be deceased.

	willwoodlen:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 18:17 GMT	2 points
	Very enjoyable quiz. I do wish they hadn't chosen a picture of Dinah Shore with her mouth covered. I thought it was one of the Gabor sisters, even though they're not American.

	Great quiz. There's also a recent stamp with Mother Teresa on it: http://postalmuseumblog.si.edu/2010/09/image-1-program-for-first-day-of-issue-ceremony-for-mother-teresa-stamp-the-u-s-postal-service-issued-a-commemorative-pos.html

	Enjoyed this very much--how about a sequel? Suggestions: Eleanor Roosevelt, Juliette Gordon Low, Clara Maass, and Helen Hayes.

	I just don't get why these Sporcle picture quizzes have to be microscopic...include a magnifier on the cursor for crying out loud!

	gretagirl7:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 17:56 GMT	4 points
	anybody else think that pocahontas looks like shakespeare with a top hat?
