My goodness! Everybody (almost) recognized our mystery guest. There are too many names to list everyone, but Dewey Webb was first, Pat in Michigan second, and Jenny M. third.

And here’s our mystery guest with a (totally not) mystery companion. And what’s with her outfit? I mean those tufts of thread in the fabric?

By the way, our mystery fellow is an artist…

  71. Okay Larry. I know I got the mystery guest first, since I sent in the answer (Barbara Eden’s Ex, Michael Ansara) after the first pix was posted!
    I must be telepathic, as Ms. Eden is telegenic!
    One picture is from “The Outer Limits” (Qarlo)
    Another is “Broken Arrow” (Cochise)
    My best guess is that the first picture is from The Robe (Judas)
    Now all we need is something from “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” “The Comancheros,” “Star Trek” “Lost in Space” “Assassination” or “Time Tunnel.”
    I also have come to the conclusion that most of your fan-base is between 30-60 years of age.
