RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-15-2014
Thomas Lincoln?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-15-2014
I am sorry, Anita, but it wasn't Lincoln. It was his father. Well done, Eva.
The prize vault is really low right now, Eva, so I will simply send cash.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-15-2014
If there's only one of these left in the vault
you'll make me a lucky winner (I have a 5 $ bill, but no $ cent).
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-25-2014
Who is this gentleman?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-25-2014
Tom Taylor.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-25-2014
Brilliant, Roger! I thought Tom Taylor was worth another try...
Will this gentleman challenge you all a little more?
RE: Who is this person? - Dave Taylor - 01-25-2014
Pope Pius IX
The hat reminded me of "The Flying Nun" so I took a chance and googled images of Pius since he was the pope during the Civil War.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-25-2014
Excellent, Dave! Well, was another try... and I'm afraid I don't even have any divine prizes today!
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 01-25-2014
Do you know him ?
RE: Who is this person? - Craig Hipkins - 01-25-2014
Might be an actor. Joseph Jefferson?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 01-25-2014
Hi Craig,
Yes he's an actor but not Joseph Jefferson.
Hint # 1 This actor started out as a wholesale grocer.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 01-25-2014
I'll ask since everyone is thinking it, was he playing the part of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?
RE: Who is this person? - Craig Hipkins - 01-25-2014
James Hackett!
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 01-25-2014
Darn, Craig got it first. It is James Hackett, who was famous for playing Falstaff (hence the costume).
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 01-26-2014
Excellent Craig, it is indeed James H Hackett. He was one of Lincoln's favorite actors.
Your prize is this link which looks at the letters between Lincoln and Hackett. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMK4FfkdA9c
Laurie you identified Falstaff, so you can also check out the link.
