For this posting, #22 in our series, we revisit a few previously posted but still unknown photos. We still hope that someone, somewhere, will be able to tell us who (or what) they are. As always, “clicking” on the image will increase it in size. As excellent suggestions, clues or answers are submitted, we will update this blog accordingly. Thank you!

Is number 14 the soprano Roberta Peters?
#2 looks like he could be related to “hide the pain harold”
No. 3 is Eleanor Wold in the role of The Lady Jane in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience; or, Bunthorne’s Bride at The Light Opera of Manhattan in the 1970s. See the thread at Datalounge for my proof.

#8 looks so much like Rutger Hauer playing Hamlet it’s uncanny.
#7 looks familiar because he looks vaguely like Tom Baker but clearly is not.
Could #3 be Jeanne Sorel?
Is #8 Finnish actor Urho Somersalmi?
#9 looks like the Swiss actor Bruno Ganz as a younger man
14# Tina Louise?
#2 is a dead ringer for Clint Howard…
#8 looks very much like like Spencer Tracy to me.
The woman in the first photo looks a great deal like the lead singer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I’ve posted the photo to their FB page in an effort to confirm/deny.
