And now that Bieber has become a problem child and Smiley Miley an exhibitionist, there's nothing intriguing about them. They are following the same old publicity tricks that Brittney and others have used before. Skin and bad manners charms 'em everytime!

Who is this lady? The source I used says the photo was taken c.1870.

Mrs. Harry Clay Ford. That picture is in the Reconstruction of Ford's Theatre book.

You are correct, Dave. Good job! And that was also my source.

You win a 2015 clay Ford (Mustang).

Which one of the April 14, 1865, Ford's Theatre workers was the last to pass away (1936)?
It was not an actor or actress in "Our American Cousin."

Joe and Eva, those are terrific guesses, but both are incorrect.

P.S. Free tickets to Fred Smith's Wisconsin Concrete Park have been scarce. However, I have been provided with a fresh supply. Two free tickets will be given to the person who answers this correctly.

I gotta nail this one. I love that place. Joseph Hazelton? He wasn't an actor in 1865, but he eventually became one, even appearing in a few talkies.

Joe, you win. Kudos! Hazelton passed away on October 9, 1936. This was more than 71 years after the assassination. He was 11 when he was the program boy at Ford's.

Look for your tickets to arrive in a few days.

Let's do one more - this is similar to the last question, but I think it is harder.

Among the cast members in Our American Cousin that fateful night which one lived the longest?

Good try, Betty, but this person lived until 1931.

OK - how about William Ferguson? I know he starred in one or two silent movies....
