Going back 60 or 70 years can be a challenge. I hope I picked images folks can recognize and put a name to. Have fun and try my other TIME quizzes (2000's, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, or 50s) if you liked this one. Thanks for playing.

One more sequel is in the works - Time from the 20s/30s. I will put it up soon, but that's the end of the line. TIME started in 1923. I hope you are enjoying the series. All comments welcome.

Absolutely loving the series- every one of them. Is it just me, or does Howard H. look an awful lot like Sean Connery in that drawing?

I tried Zeus for Marx and then I saw the communist symbol on the top-left.

Great puzzle. I was amazed by how many of the people depicted were still around and relevant in the 70s, 80s, or even today, such as Chuck Yeager or Elizabeth Taylor or Princess Elizabeth.

Hughes does look like Sean Connery indeed and even a bit like Tom Selleck (the eye-brow!). I didn't recognize Laurence Olivier (should have looked at the background). This Time cover series is great! Thks!

Who knew Marlin Perkins was around in the 1940's. He looked just the same in the 60's! I thought he was Walt Disney.

Did anyone else get Edgar Bergen by guessing Senator Joe McCarthy? No, I hadn't heard of him before. Seems odd in hindsight that a major US magazine would put Princess Margaret on the cover. I wonder if Churchill made the cover in the 40s? Good quiz.

I don't think I've seen too many pictures of Elizabeth when she was young - I guessed Ingrid Bergman for that one. :(

Is that the Death Star behind Truman's head? I didn't know the Manhattan Project was that involved.

@Witz1960: Humphrey pushed for a civil rights including desegregation at the 1948 Democratic Presidential Convention. For its time, it was quite a radical stand,

I really thought that Bing Crosby was young Arnold Palmer, but I guess he was too young for the '40s anyway.

@cocky - Thanks. I was just going to look up who was still with us. I'm guessing that's a complete list, or others will let us know.

@googlebird: Happy birthday to Mickey Rooney, 92 TODAY. Great cross-section from many diff. fields. @Propellerhead: Yes, thought it was Betty Crocker... or a '40's version of June Cleaver. Thought H. Hughes was Cagney, who did have a 'stache at some point. Got only one of the two 'royals'-- my bad since a strong resemblance in their youth. Shdve gotten the golfer--background was a dead giveaway.

Thanks for adding Rooney. Sad thing is, I read in the paper earlier today (before my earlier post) his birthday is today. @Slatto2....Edgar Bergen was a ventriloquist, his dummy was named Charlie McCarthy. He is the father of Candice Bergen (TV's Murphy Brown).

Great quiz; really looking forward to the next (last - sigh) one. I also guessed Betty Crocker for Eva Peron. I thought Marlin Perkins might be Juan Peron, but was too anal to type just "Peron" and get one of those wonderful accidental guesses. Last point: I wish the Grable picture could have shown her face in more of a close-up.
