Update: This is Lili Gentle on Jan. 27, 1956, after a judge approved her contract (she was 16) with Twentieth Century Fox.

Jan. 11, 1958, Gentle, Zanuck

Jan. 11, 1958: Lili Gentle and Richard Zanuck are getting married.

Update: I inadvertently grabbed an old post and used it for coding, which is why there are so many guesses…. The only way to fix the problem is with a new post.

Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday … or on Saturday if I have a hard time picking only five pictures; sometimes it's difficult to choose. To keep the mystery photo from getting lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day.

I have to approve all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone else, there's no point in submitting it again).

If you're right, you will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only reward is bragging rights.

The answer to last week's mystery star: Josephine Dunn!

Update: Lili Gentle July 12, 1956.

Here's our mystery gal with a truly mysterious companion. He’s not identified on the back of the photo, so even I don’t know who he is. Nice retouching, guys.

Pretty, perky, Peggy. Peggy King. She was costar on ‘The George Gobel Show’, which was wildly popular for a very short time in the fifties.

Should have recognized her from Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, one of my favorite fifties movies. She played Rock Hunter’s [Tony Randall’s] daughter April Hunter.
