I knew he had plastic surgery but wasn't aware that it was that brow raising. ha ha ha!!  I haven't seen him in a long time neither in film or on tv. Though I did hear his health wasn't that good. TIS

I finally figured out how to deal with a photo hosting service, so I'm going to post a picture:  This is a recent photo of someone who, in her day, was quite beautiful. A show business name. Let's see if anyone out there recognizes her. Signor V.

That's what I was gonna say too but didn't think it was her. I saw a recent photo of her a few months back and couldn't believe how she looks now. I'm pretty sure SV's pic is of Bardot.

No, it's not Bardot.
But you're getting warm - the two of them could be said to be contemporaries, as I believe they were at the height of their popularity at (more or less) the same time.

You can rest easy, Giancarlo, it is most definitely not Ann-Margret. A friend of mine met her a couple of years back at a nostalgia convention in New Jersey and reported that she is quite petite, still gorgeous, and an extremely nice person to her fans.
Back to the Mystery Guest...
Here are some clues to ponder:
The woman in the picture once co-starred with Gypsy Rose Lee, but she was not a stripper and was never in burlesque.
Though a contemporary of Bardot, she is not French.
She did make some American films, but she is not American.
See if that helps.

Nope, not Eartha Kitt.
The woman in the picture is still alive.
Some more clues:
Her best known film was a very famous European one - but she was not born in the particular country where that film was made.
If she were a landmark, she would probably be a fountain.
If she were a network, she would probably be A&E.
Tricky clues, aren't they? (Heheheheh....)

Bingo! We have a winner!!  It is, indeed, Anita Ekberg. Your turn, Giancarlo. Signor V.

Kevin Costner?
All I can tell by the photo is that it is a hand-tinted picture, originally in b&w. So, that might tell us something about the age of the image. Other than that, I have no other ideas.

Sorry Signor Vitelli, but it's not Costner. I bet you get it though with my clue. Two words : "Comb Over". No make that three words : "Double Comb Over".  Ok now take a guess.

The clue gave it away. He's one of the few people on this planet who I'd like to punch in his face for no reason other than being a pompous ass. OK, here's the new one.

Well, we just had Harry S. Truman...
Could this be Dwight D. Eisenhower?
