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.

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).
