Not so knowledgeable on science guys, but one I do know, Bill Nye, the Science guy?




TIS

No not Bill Nye. I think SC is closing in on it.

Another clue: If i showed you another photo of him after his college years you would know him. Theres a reason this one is hard to figure out.

Long shot and only guessing by your clues. Is it Rupert Murdock?





TIS

Nope, not Rupert Murdoch.

Think science. This guy is on a different level, a big thinker.

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows of this person.

Thats a big clue.

His appearance has changed very dramatically from his college days. Thats why i think it's so tough to figure out. If i posted another photo of him from after his mid 20's you would nail it in seconds.

Stephen Hawking?

CORRECT!!

Very good Camarel, that was a tough one. I don't think i would of gotten it.

Here he is in the 1980's.

Oh yea, I know who Hawking is (though not well). I didn't even think of him. LOL NOW seeing the picture, it DOES look like him.




TIS

He's an amazing guy. I was watching a show he did on "Black Holes being the Gateway To Parallel Universe's". Real interesting stuff.

Another interesting show he did was on God and if it was necessary for God to exist for the creation of the universe to have happened.

I tried to read a book of his once but it was pretty tough to follow him. His brain works on a different level then mine.

I don't think I ever heard of him.

Camarel your up.

I was going to use this one picture of Al Capone with his mother when he was a little kid but i'm not sure if it's really Al or one of his brothers so i didn't use it. It only said it was Capones mother.

Here it is, do you guys think thats Al with her? I think it is but i'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, that's him and his mother. Photo was taken in Brooklyn around 1902.

Thanks SC. I definitely see the resemblance to Al in the kids face but i just wasn't sure.

This is a tad off topic and I ask only cause I'm curious. Was Al Capone's family Sicilian? I thought I read they were from another part of Italy but not sure. Just wondering.



TIS

No. He was born in Brooklyn but I guess he'd be considered Neapolitan (his father was from near there).

somebody post a pic please.

Ok, since nobody else is posting, I will. Here's a guy who was a top box office draw back in the 70's (I hope he wasn't already posted earlier. I don't feel like checking)


TIS

Kind of looks like a young Antonio Banderas but he didn't start acting until the 1980's. The face does look familiar though.

1970's, huh?

I'll have to give this one a little more thought.

No, not Antonio. This guy is still around but his heyday was the 70's.

He was in a tv show years ago.


TIS

Jan Vincent Michaels?

No not him. This guy wasn't the star of the show but rather a co-star. You'd be better off thinking movies more than tv. I'll wait just a bit and give a good hint next.



TIS

At least you admit the hints you've provided so far are lousy.

He looks VERY familiar.

Ha ha ha! I wouldn't call that info hints.

Ok, this will be a give-away (I think)

He's been known to be somewhat of a bandit and in 1972 he more or less (and to use a common phrase of the time) "let it all hang out."


TIS

Hooo-ha!

It's Burt Reynolds.


Signor V.

Hey SV. That's right!!!

I remember all us ladies at work, left on our lunch hour to try to get to that latest edition of Cosmo. They were sold out.


TIS

I can just about imagine the feeding frenzy! What a sight it must have been back then: the otherwise proper and dignified Michigan ladies rasslin' like a bunch of Monday Night Raw competitors over the last remaining magazine.

A little memory refreshment here:

Then:



Now:



Reynolds is 76 now, and has had his ups and downs, both career-wise and health-wise. Besides all the plastic surgery, and dealing with an addiction to painkillers, two years ago he underwent heart surgery - a quintuple bypass.

If it weren't for your clues, I doubt I would have recognized that photo of his younger self.

Signor V.

That's Burt Reynolds??

I even thought of him when you said he was big in the 70's but i didn't think the photo looked like him. lol!

I wouldn't have gotten that one without some serious clues.

At one time wasn't Burt the #1 box office champ? Him and Sally Field were both really popular back then when they were going out.

It's difficult to tell because of the position of his arm.

Signor V.

Giancarlo,

It is Burt Reynolds (believe me, I double checked)

Yes, he & Sally Field were engaged around the "Smokey & The Bandit" time if I'm not mistaken. He was always funny & witty I use to love when he was on the Tonight Show. He & Johnny were funny together. I remember the time he came out dressed in a leather suit if I'm not mistaken and one thing leads to another and he & Johnny spray whipped cream all over. He was GOOD in his day.

Thanks for "refreshing" my memory SV. Gotta say, he DID look good...not that I pay attention to that sort of thing mind you.


TIS

His recent photo looks like he is raising his eyebrows. He's not! He's had so many facelifts that his eyebrows are now what used to be his mustache.
