No Tom Hanks? Or did I miss him?

Would love to see this done with actresses?

You definitely missed Hanks. Use the “pause” button when you click on the photos.
We're still trying to figure out who the very first photo is.. just before Valentino..

Groovy!

I have the first guy on pause and I'm guessing Barrymore. (John or very early Lionel).

That was my guess, however I couldn't match the picture.

So who is it, don't tell me you really don't know Charles?

Posted by: Danny | July 13, 2009 8:22 PM

nope. Really. We should write to one of those movie critic people like Janet Maslin or Leonard Maltin... Think I will..

Ramon Navarro, perhaps??

Gee, doesn't anyone watch silent movies??? That was the fabulous Doug Fairbanks (Sr.) (Mask of Zorro, Thief of Bagdad). No one ever swashbuckled better. He and his wife Mary Pickford (along with Charlie Chaplin) were once the most famous movie stars in the world. And now no one knows who he is, what a shame.

Check out this film footage from 1920 of Doug and Mary arriving in London. They were mobbed wherever they went. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=27815
