Name that actress!

[Jailtime]

Seems that some of my avatars are sort of popular around here, so let's try a little game. Put the name to the face of each of these actresses. All of them are before 1960 or thereabouts. The first one should be easy, the last pretty hard.

 

[Andyman]

Isn't the last one Eva Marie Saint??

 

[JonL]

Is 1 Grace Kelley (Princess Grace)?

 

[slow_jazz]

#3 looks a little like Diana Rigg

I think Garbo is right for #2, but I don't think Marilyn is #4. Jayne Mansfield?

Oops, you're right: #4 is Jayne Mansfield and #3 is Gene Tierney!!! I need better glasses!

Whoever contributed to this list, congrats! I thought the fourth and fifth were pretty hard, didn't take long to figure those out.

Here's a few more. The first one should be a gimme, the rest, I dunno how hard they'll be. The last "hard" one was named in the very first response. Once again, all before 1960, and all were in films that are fairly well known, if you like classic movies.

Actually, "North by Northwest" made it pretty easy.

She also was in that WWII movie with Rod Taylor and James Garner where the Nazis tried to convince Garner he was in a coma for 6 years and missed the end of the war to get D-Day info out of him. Google tells me it's "36 Hours"

I haven't seen it, but I've been told by others that it's a must see.

You got the first and the third. Nope on the fourth though. Told ya the first one was easy, and Greer Garson has a distinctive look.

Lust, Sloth, Greed , Envy, and Lust.

All I can say is those old Hollywood portrait photogs knew their stuff.

 

[jkmcc]

Hmmmm

#5 Sylvia Sydney?

 

[BULLWINKLE]

Who is your avatar now?

Definitely! I even saw it at a movie theater (Ann Arbor, MI, 1993),
a boast that fewer and fewer people will be able to make!

No. 5 looks awfully familiar, but I just can't place her.
