THEY HAD FACES THEN: Part Three
Vienna's Classic Hollywood
So many greats. Couldn’t name them all but their faces are so memorable.
Yes, all easily recognisable faces but I agree it isn’t easy to put names to the faces.
I can’t imagine the movies without them– all of them! (Early TV as well)
Have only managed to get a few. Thurston Hall, Clinton Sunberg, Beulah Bondi, Constance Collier, Mabel Paige, Eugene Pallette, Byron Foulger, Jack La Rue, Will Wright, J.Carroll Naish, Franklin Pangborn, Clem Bevans.
Good going! But it’s not Beulah Bondi, Byron Foulger, Ted De Corsia or Anthony Caruso. Sorry I couldn’t number them.
Nat Pendleton, George Zucco, Ted De Corsia or is it Anthony Caruso? I always get confused between the two.
The likes of which are completely missing today. They added so much to films.

Some of these may certainly be wrong. The ones that are starred are ones that I wouldn’t have remembered if others hadn’t identified them. (Not knowing J. Carroll Naish is really embarrassing.) The two that I wrote I cheated on I recognized but couldn’t think of their names; however, I remembered things they were in, and looked them up that way.
I love all your posts, but these are among my favorites.
Well done!! Only one incorrect – Abner Biberman.
Still another 5 to be identified!
Vienna, better late than never. So, here goes with my list of some favorite character actors and actresses.
James Flavin, Thurston Hall, Luther Adler, Frank Jenks, Russell Collins, Minerva Urecal, Gene Evans, Constance Collier, Chick Chandler, Minor Watson, Mabel Paige, Eugene Pallette, George Tobias, Rhys Williams, George E.Stone, Charles Halton, Irving Bacon, Nat Pendleton, Jack LaRue, jack Lambert, Will Wright, Charles Halton, King Donovan, J. Carroll Naish, Franklin Pangborn, Marc Lawrence, Harry Lewis, Clem Bevans, Mike Mazurki, George Zucco, and Clinton Sundberg.
Like Steve, I remembered some of their faces from certain movies and I looked them up by way of movie credits for their names. Classic movies were better for having these wonderful actors and actresses in them.
You are amazing, Walter! You’ ve named every single face. Very well done👏👏👏
