And for Monday, we have a mystery gent in a three-piece suit.

Wednesday’s mystery lady is a special request that goes out to Mike Hawks. I’m hoping Mike will tell us a bit about her.

Please congratulate Mary Mallory (mystery movie/wrong mystery woman), Bob Levinson (Monday’s mystery gent), Megan, Lee Ann and Thom ( Tuesday’s mystery woman  — they write: ” she stole the show from Charles Laughton in “Ruggles of Red Gap”!”), Dan Nather (Tuesday’s mystery woman) , Don Danard (Tuesday’s mystery woman), Dewey Webb (mystery movie and cast), Dennis Gilliam (Monday’s mystery chap), Rick Scott (mystery movie and cast), Michael Ryerson (Monday’s mystery chap, wrong movie, which I did last year).

And for Thursday, we have a mystery woman singing to a picture of a mystery fellow. Hint: He is not “Dear Mr. Gable.”  Actually, he’s not much of a mystery, but then neither is she.

Please congratulate Mary Mallory (the famous Mrs. E.); Patrick (mystery movie and cast)   “who could forget that face?” he says of Mrs. E.); Herb Nichols (Tuesday’s mystery woman); MIKE HAWKS (mystery movie and cast) Mike says: “my favorite unknown character actress … Best known for tormenting OUR GANG in MUSH AND MILK; Barbara Klein (mystery movie and cast), Megan, Lee Ann and Thom who write: “If my memory serves (which is increasingly a crap-shoot), Wednesday’s gal was also providing local color in the May Robson episode in “If I Had a Million”. Megan and Thom (fellow members of L A Daily Mirror–Midwest Chapter) aren’t home at the moment to confirm or deny my recollection. I don’t know her name, sorry to say”; Jenny Lerew (mystery movie and cast) who says: “Asking Mike Hawks or me for the identity of the dignified white-haired lady is shooting fish in a spittoon!”; Gary Martin (Tuesday’s mystery woman); ValleyDave (mystery movie and cast); and David Inman (mystery movie and cast).

And everybody has been expecting B.S. for Friday, right?

Please congratulate Mary Mallory (Thursday’s mystery duo), Megan, Lee Ann and Thom (Thursday’s mystery duo), LC (mystery movie and cast), Mike Hawks (Thursday’s mystery duo), Gary Martin (Thursday’s mystery chap), Rick (mystery movie and cast) and Rick Scott (Wednesday-Thursday mystery folks).
