I am sure that this will be easy for someone here -- I like this picture though and the person in it.

You need to get your eyes recalibrated I think http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I right clicked and did properties on the photo and that's what came up.

 

Newmar was a babe back in the day.........

That was a diversionary tactic on my end. Julie Newmar is still pretty good looking for her age. This gal was never babe-alicious.

Is that Truman Capote?

[Fatter than Joey]

Is that Truman Capote?

 

No.. Nice Guess though... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Katuluu]

Zelda Rubinstein, who I always thought looked and sounded like Truman Capote?

[Fatter than Joey]

Zelda Rubinstein

 

Isn't she the gal that was in Poltergeist?

 

Not her..

[Katuluu]

That would be her.

[Fatter than Joey]

uncanny resemblance -- but not her

 

Actually Kat -- I was pretty nervous that you would be one of the ones to get it right, right off the bat.

Effa Manley?

[Fatter than Joey]

Nope -- This lady is not in the MLB HOF.

[craigharmann]

Georgia O'Keefe?

[Fatter than Joey]

Nope -- she isn't an artist.

[Katuluu]

Actually Kat -- I was pretty nervous that you would be one of the ones to get it right, right off the bat.

The face is incredibly familiar, but I am totally blanking on a name. I know I am going to kick myself when it's finally figured out.

[Fatter than Joey]

Well -- consider it hint that Kat should be one of the favorites (along with RobertR) to guess this.

[And That]

Akira Kurosawa's wife.

[Fatter than Joey]

No -- She was some dude's wife though. He was a literary critic. I'd tell you his name, but then you would google it.

Shirley Jackson

[Katuluu]

Chaz Ebert!

Good stuff "The Lottery". What a crappy prize though, eh?

[Katuluu]

Shirley Jackson

 

DAMMIT!

[Fatter than Joey]

Gyp got it -- Shirley Jackson -- if you haven't read any of her stories now is a great time to do it -- since we are closing in on Halloween.

 

The Haunting of Hill House, (a great movie) is probably one of the best horror novels of the 20th century.

 

She is probably most famous though for penning "The Lottery" which is a quaint little tale about how we all think violence is super-awesome, unless it is happening to us, then we tend to think it sucks.

 

KUDOS to Gyp!

Thank you. I read "The Lottery" in school. I forget what grade. I think another one of the themes is clinging to tradition even though the tradition is stupid.
