That isn’t Chaplin. Don’t know who it is but for sure it is not Charles Chaplin.

No, his mother was a famous author and illustrator of baby books and as an infant, Bogey was her model.

Maybe Bogart’s greatest acting job. It’s one thing to play the stereotypical good guy all the time. A real good actor can play a variety of characters and make them believable. I read the book and saw the movie. Bogart was exceptional as Queeg. In fact the job portraying a person like Queeg, who neither a villain nor a hero, has to be one of the toughest acting jobs.

That is indeed Charles Chaplin-probably in his mid-to-late 40s.

Your photo contains no ship. All I see is water and smoke.

Lawrence Olivier has that kind of depth and reach. I cannot think of a modern actor who isn’t simply playing themselves playing someone else.

I’ve always liked Paul Fix. Fun to see him in his younger days, playing little weasely characters in early-30s b-westerns. Quite a contrast to his solid grandfatherly roles in 60s tv.

Indeed it is NOT Chaplin and hardly resembles him at all. I just checked with my expert and was told it’s her husband. (Dietrich’s husband, that is.)

I can’t agree with that. Dustin Hoffman.

My Marine buddies called them Seagoing Bellhops, of course (ducking).

From the movie A Few Good Men:

Tom Cruise (Navy): Have I done something to offend you?

Kiefer Sutherland (Marine): No, I like all you Navy boys. Every time we've gotta go someplace to fight, you fellas always give us a ride.

I was watching an old Perry Mason a couple weeks ago and Paul Fix filled in for prosecutor Berger. He was a dynamic actor.

He's one of my favorite actors too.

Always steals the show with his performances.

I've read Bogart biographies, and his upper lip was definitely damaged. It was partially paralyzed and stiffened. Giving him those distinctive facial movements. And not a classic lisp, but he did say his "s's" with a kind of "sh" sound.

And that was the way he talked in real life, too.

Actually made him a star, due to his distinct speech and tough guy look.

Despite the fact he came from a prosperous family, he seemed like a guy who had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks.

"I can’t agree with that. Dustin Hoffman."

Good example. He really makes you forget it's Dustin Hoffman.

I got into an argument with someone when I said that Jack Nicholson always plays "Jack Nicholson".

I was wrong.

Two examples given were King of Marvin Gardens, where he plays this meek, mild writer.

And About Schmidt. Where he plays some average Joe insurance salesman.

It's rare to see, but Nicholson does have the chops.

Probably my single favorite actor ever was James Cagney. I could watch ‘The Roaring Twenties’ (with Cagney and Bogart) a thousand times.

I was referring to the photo with Albert Einstein.
