Thomas Lincoln?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-15-2014 02:08 PM
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.

If there's only one of these left in the vault
[attachment=394]
you'll make me a lucky winner (I have a 5 $ bill, but no $ cent).

Who is this gentleman?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-25-2014 10:26 AM
Tom Taylor.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-25-2014 11:27 AM
Brilliant, Roger! I thought Tom Taylor was worth another try...
Will this gentleman challenge you all a little more?

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.

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 07:02 PM
Do you know him ?

RE: Who is this person? - Craig Hipkins - 01-25-2014 08:43 PM
Might be an actor. Joseph Jefferson?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 01-25-2014 08:56 PM
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 09:01 PM
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 09:03 PM
James Hackett!
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 01-25-2014 09:05 PM
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 12:02 AM
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.
