CAN YOU NAME THESE 1940'S CELEBRITIES?

[@robertedwards7900]

29/40. Not bad for a guy born in the 70s

[@tjtaggart6494]

I know I would have done better if my brain worked as fast with names as it does with recognizing faces! There were around 4 that I didn't recognize at all. Being born in 1958 didn't help much either. I still managed to get 24 names out before the time ran out. I still can't believe I couldn't pull up THAT MANY names. It's annoying.

[@julienielsen3746]

I was born in 1959. I used to watch AMC when it was all classic movies. That helped me a lot. I missed 9.

[@jenerhart7025]

Me too! I was coming up with movies or songs before names. There were two I absolutely did not recognize, and I was born in '71.

[@tjtaggart6494]

@@jenerhart7025 you did better than me even though you're 13 years younger! Good job!

[@brendalafone9192]

I missed 10 I knew the faces but couldn’t remember the names

[@glenn7152]

I was born 24 hrs ago Missed them all!

[@ronleight9341]

You should have waited for the 2010's quiz!! Lol

[@kbob1163]

34/40. I would have guessed Cyd Charisse, but I've only ever looked at her legs.

[@suzyfarnham3165]

She was the only one I missed....and I said those EXACT words! I said Ann Sothern for some reason but if that was a full length photo I would have gotten Cyd Charisse!!

[@knuteboy3778]

Born in the 70's and funnily enough, I did much better in this quiz than the 50's quiz. I think that's because I was exposed more to 1940's icons growing up. They were more prominent in pop culture. For example there were always caricatures of them in old cartoons. I always watched things like the Little Rascals and the Three Stooges which were rooted in that decade. But I was hardly exposed to 50's stuff which was the beginning of television. There wasn't a lot of reruns because a lot of that stuff was lost.

[@stevekirby3489]

33 out of 40. I watched lots of old films on TV over the years.

[@virginiakramer9055]

1 that I couldn't identify. 2 that I knew but had a brain freeze

[@RSN6537]

Got 20 right, was born in 1998.

[@k.patriciahutt2979]

34/40 - 2 were people I'd never seen before...the other 4 I recognized but couldn't spit out the name in time. Great Fun!!🤓🖖

[@debbieaustin8517]

Missed 3. Sometimes I could only name the last name or the first name. Loved playing! Thank you

[@zyxw2000]

Too easy, knew them all. Born 1946.

[@Bargle5]

23 right. Several I recognized, but couldn't bring the name up.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Heady and Eva have the same exotic look!

[@Hillers62]

I grew up in the early 70's ...nearly all of these were household names...but I missed one...Oppenheimer...I knew who we was, but I didn't know what he looked like...

[@davidblinn8251]

Missed the dancing actress from "silk stockings", darn it. And that was sneaky putting a noted scientist (besides the obvious first one) in towards the end, but I got him. Still - I'm happy with 39 out of 40.

[@tjtaggart6494]

But what year were you born?

[@pipper70]

36/40. Some of the early photos of the stars was a little challenging.

[@kathrynmast916]

Didn’t recognize Oppenheimer…got all the others.

[@terilong6889]

37 right

[@rivermoon6190]

i got 37 and missed 3 in the time allowed. Cyd Charisse I love from all the musicals but she looked somehow different here. Oppenheimer was the next. I recognised the face but seeing him amongst all the actors I was trying to ascertain which actor he was. Then with Olivia de Havilland’s sister, Joan Fontaine, I had to pause the timer for a few extra seconds to recall her name. Great quiz though. Lots more please.

[@Tommiboy193]

I only didn't recognize Perry Como.

[@julienielsen3746]

I couldn't think of Joan Fontaine's name either. I could only think that she was Olivia's sister. One I missed. I missed 9 .

[@julienielsen3746]

I missed 9. Don't know who Oppenheimer and Frida whatever were. Couldn't think of 4 of their names. But, I knew who they were. Missed Billie Holiday, Heddy Lamar, and Cyd Chariesse. Enjoyed the Quiz. I like how you keep track of which number we are on.

[@aspenrebel]

I have no idea who the Frida person was, Openhammer who was one of the nuclear bomb scientists, and I always think Cyd Charisse is a man

[@julienielsen3746]

@@aspenrebel Cyd Charisse was an actress and a dancer.

[@aspenrebel]

@@julienielsen3746 never seen her. Heard the name before, always think it a guy.

[@julienielsen3746]

@@aspenrebel I don't remember seeing her in much either. Mostly in movie clips in documentaries on movies.

[@hornbeam7131]

@@aspenrebel Frida Kahlo was a painter from Mexico, she became pretty famous. Easy to spot in quizs like this because of her heavy dark brows. Bonus fact for a time she was the lover of Leon Trotsky while he was in Mexico on the run from Lenin.

[@lesliewells1062]

I got 14 wrong on this quiz and I got 19 wrong on the 60s celebrities, which is surprising, since I was born in 1961. I love these quizzes!

[@jamesmonteith-vl3rx]

35 out of 40...not bad...some of those i missed were outside my field of expertise which is film

[@charlesapplegate8829]

I knew I wouldn't do **too** well with this one. I missed maybe half or more.

[@sheilavanvuuren8199]

Got 26. Great.

[@sannaruokari9200]

Awesome

[@susanaltman5134]

33 out of 40. I had brain freeze on Lawrence Olivier, although I recognized him. All I could think was Vivien Leigh's husband.

[@rosemarysmith178]

Same here,I knew the faces but forgot some of there names...

[@1079walter]

Never heard of Frida Kahlo. But I'm only 80-years-old, so I'll give myself a pass on that one...my only faux pas. Great quiz, tho.

[@sherylcrawford8201]

I got 37 right.

[@nancyomalley6286]

I'm only 56 but I did better on this one than for the 60's quiz GO Figure!

[@jenerhart7025]

I missed nine, but only two were straight up "I don't know that face." The others were more "I'm going to kick myself when the name comes up..." I was born in 1971, but two of my biggest crushes are on this list.

[@slipdisco]

37/40.

[@aspenrebel]

Well alot I knew but I just couldn't think of the names and some I had no idea who that picture was.

37 out of 40

[@georgevangordon9728]

I realized something about this quiz.. while I was able to name most of the men.. very few of the women did I know who they were. It makes me curious why that is.. is it because men always had the leading role back then? Or is that just the way my brain remembers things ? It actually disturbed me somewhat

[@Waechter_im_All]

If you ask for 1940's celebrities, PLEASE use photos from the 1940's then. Here you mix photos from the 60's (Hitchcock!) with 50's and even early 30's (the Frida Kahlo photo dates from 1932). And this mess I recognized in other videos of your's as well. So PLEASE use matching picture for each time - else use different celebs.
