I know this one!  Richard Chamberlain!  I loved the Thorn Birds... novel more so than the movie, but regardless watched the whole saga.

I didn't know any of the others... and I was so excited to play the game I failed to notice the names were showing up when I quoted the image.  Hah! Some would call me naive, but I just don't agree... ::)

* Another photo break ... :)*


I just realised that we have not added Ellery's Back Brace to the Prop Gallery ...



A very crucial prop, especially when Mr Coyote gets too carried away ...  ;)

you guys are just wild!

And I knew about the actors but I sure didn't know about Barbra Stanwyck. I knew she was "Miss Stanwyck" her whole life but I thought she just considered herself too good for all those guys!

"You giving up on Merle Johnson?" said Ellery. "I know that one's tough. I'll give you another hint. In addition to being in the Godfather II, he was the young romantic lead, opposite Sandra Dee, in 'A Summer Place.' Know who it is?"

"This poor kid had a sad story. He's the one on the right, in the striped shirt. He was a Disney regular, starred in 'Ol'Yeller,' and was a Mousketeer on the Mickey Mouse Club. In 1964 when his bosses found out he was gay," Ellery made a cutting motion across his throat, "he was given the axe. Know who it is?"

Although a hummingbird feeder you would buy in a store would look like this:
