    MGM Opening Credits in 1928. That's how they actually did it.

      The date on the photo is just a bit of a clue to the period he lived in.

      No. 10.

      A rather unusual photo of someone you will all know.

      I have undue advantage as I have a snapshot memory and am from a generation where schoolbooks always had illustrations and "fun fact" boxes on boring subjects, such as 19th and early 20th century scientists, politicians, composers and authors *cough*. And if everything else fails, there's The Other Path. :heehee:

      Film stars are much harder for me but so far they have been fairly easy. Bring on British comedians and I'm out, unless it's Kenny Everett. :rolleyespink:
