Well, the airbrushed paint on the photo print of your mystery dude washes off easily and the red grease pencil marks come off with a little rubbing with a cloth. So what’s underneath is not destroyed. By the way, whatever happened to EAD? I miss the blood and gore.

It’s Stephen Crane, as an actor, before he married Lana Turner and fathered Cheryl. The lady with her nose cut off seems to be Faye Emerson.

The Sam Brown belt, as I understand it, was first used to carry a heavy sword and not have a conventional belt sag. I think law enforcement departments kept the belts long after swords went out of fashion because they help the wearers look official.

Sam Browne was a British (I think) cavalry officer who lost an arm in battle. He invented the rigging so he could carry a side-arm and cavalry sabre into battle.
End of history lesson. the question that is on everybody’s mind is which does Larry Harnisch enjoy more:
Digging out and posting these photos or tormenting us, his fans, throughout the week?

To be frank, I don’t really know him. Good luck to the others trying to guess who he is. My knowledge of old actors is very very limited to Cary Grant period. Don’t know anybody else.

Whether it is or not, the IMDb has Crane married to Lana at the same time as Carol Ann Kurtz, and then re-married to Lana just weeks before their daughter was born. I think I need to find a bio of Lana, stat!
