| Los Angeles Times file photo Here’s this week’s mystery fellow with a (not) mysterious companion.

There's a lot of folks: Dewey Webb, Carmen, Pat in Michigan, Mike Hawks, Periwinkle, Margie, Lee Ann Thom and Megan, Steve Stoliar, Herb Nichols, Julie Merholz, Barbara Klein, Lana, James Curtis, Gregory Moore, Cold in PHX, Michael Ryerson, Zabadu, Mary Mallory, Fibber McGee, Rotter, William, Grammy Flo, Eve, Anne Papineau, Richard Wegenscheide, Waldo Lydecker (where you been?), Dr. Fudd, Space Hanlon, Jenny M, Candy C, RJ, Dan Bazarian, Mark Heimback-Nielsen, Pamela Porter, Don Young, Rosalyn, Sue, Claire Lockhart, Arye Michael Bender, Roget-L.A., LC, Rick, Randy Skretvedt, Sandy, Steven Moshlak, Cathy and Stacia. |

| Los Angeles Times file photo Here’s another photo of our mystery guest with a mystery companion. Aren’t her eyes haunting? Just about everyone identified our mystery fellow, far too many to list. Among the more amusing observations was Dewey Webb’s “it's gonna be Louise Beavers & Aline MacMahon all over again.” Here’s our mystery guest with some very mysterious companions. I sometimes think The Times’ art department painted out and tilted photos just for something to do because, as in this case, it was entirely unnecessary. Los Angeles Times file photo
Here’s our mystery guest with another mystery companion.
For Friday, our mystery guest goes gunning for retouching fiends in The Times’ art department. |

Oh, it’s Elizabeth Taylor. That was easy. Can’t identify her “(not) mysterious companion,” though. Usually it’s the easy ones that I have a hard time with. 😉

The mystery fellow is Jimmy Lydon, still alive and active today, and a delightful gentleman. I think the still with the very mysterious companions may be from the 1949 juvenile delinquent drama “Bad Boy,” a real change from Jimmy’s early ’40s films as clean-cut Henry Aldrich!

Tommy Cook is on the far right in Wednesday’s photo with Dickie Moore 2nd from the right. That means it’s either Stanley Clements or Audie Murphy that’s behind all that grey paint.

Funny. I’m the one regular reader of this blog that didn’t identify Elizabeth Taylor. For the life of me, I was sure that was a young Ida Lupino.
