	Though Howard Hughes was Sean Connery.

	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.

	Who knew Eva Perón looked so much like Lucille Ball?

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

	I am now curious why Humphry was cover story worthy in the 1940's

	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,

	That Eva Peron picture looks like it belongs on a box of cake mix.

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

	The Karl Marx cover was...creative?

	As long as we are admitting bad guesses, I thought Mickey Rooney was JFK.

	Still living...Yeager (age 89), Musial (91), Elizabeth (86).

	@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).

	Could've sworn Howard Hughes was Clark Gable.

	So THAT's what Laurence Olivier, Ethel Merman and Chuck Yeager looked like when they were young!

	Damn, women were very beautiful back in the '40s.

	Anyone guess Ben Kingsley instead of Gandhi?? ;)

	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.

	@willwoodien: or shown more of what she was best known for-- those gorgeous gams, every serviceman's dream during WW2.

	lol @ the marx picture, he looks like merlin conjuring the evil spirit of communism

	Wow, Princess Elizabeth kind of looks like Ingrid Bergman there.

	Karl Marx looked good for his age!

	Did anyone else type in armstong, and not get the answer?

	@blackalicious---I think anybody typing in armstong wouldn't get answer

	Anyone know why when I typed 'MacCarthy', I got credit for Edgar Bergen?

	Anybody else think Marlin Perkins was Charles de Gaulle?
