The Amazing and Mysterious Guess Who Game!

Maryn!

Yes, it's young Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson--the first black baseball player to break the color code when he was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, becoming an indelible part of America's fraught racial history.

Who is this ?

Marissa D · Jul 3, 2018

Is it Sting, maybe?

shakeysix · Jul 5, 2018

Niles Crane? Just kidding. Sting seems close to me. If not, Colin Firth? --s6

Cobalt Jade · Jul 7, 2018

Who is this ?

I thought people would have guessed by now! It's Truman Capote

shakeysix · Jul 7, 2018

You know, I have seen that photo, too. Kicking myself. --s6

DanielSTJ · Jul 7, 2018

He looks SO much different without the glasses.

Wow! Cool!

shakeysix · Jul 7, 2018

He really was Dill-- small for his age and blond.

Maryn · Jul 10, 2018

Man, I never would have gotten that one. Who's got another?

DanielSTJ · Jul 10, 2018

Ooooo. I've got a good one:

I'll give hints!

*UPDATE*

Think art.

Kjbartolotta · Jul 14, 2018

No one ever figured this out.

JMW Turner?

Marissa D · Jul 15, 2018

No--based on the clothes, it's someone later than Turner, and probably part of the Aesthetic movement (that cravat!) Umm...wild-assed guesses coming up...

Kjbartolotta · Jul 15, 2018

Hmm. Well, it's not Beardsley or Whistler, so that leaves...

Maryn · Jul 15, 2018

Once again, I'd be reduced to image searches if I were okay with cheating, which I am not. No clue.

Maryn, surprising exactly no one

DanielSTJ · Jul 15, 2018

Claude Monet!

DanielSTJ · Jul 23, 2018

Okay, one from the literary world!:

Kjbartolotta · Jul 23, 2018

Looks a bit like a young William Burroughs, but I refuse to believe that man was ever young.

DanielSTJ · Jul 23, 2018

I'll give a hint: he was born in St. Petersburg!

:greenie

shakeysix · Jul 27, 2018

The art guy is giving me fits. Dante Gabriel Rossetti? The brother of the guy who wrote the "Blessed Damosel Leaned Out of Heaven" ? I'm not sure of the names and don't want to google. --s6

DanielSTJ · Jul 27, 2018

It was Claude Monet shakey.

shakeysix · Jul 27, 2018

Ahhhh. --s6

Cobalt Jade · Jul 28, 2018

Tolstoy for the latest?

DanielSTJ · Jul 31, 2018

Close! Real close.

Think of a littler later in time. Also, he's VERY famous and.... here's the bit hint: perverted.

Maryn · Jul 31, 2018

I never get these unless I cheat. But cheating is wrong! So I'll just lean back in my chair and wonder...

Marissa D · Jul 31, 2018

I've got a new one! This person's 200th birthday will be observed tomorrow...not bad for a pioneer in her chosen field of science...

Drawing a blank on the mystery man from St. Petersburg...
