Does that make #31, Richard Cromwell? Doesn't look like him but Cromwell has a connection with the other two.

Fresh quiz on the morrow!
Ah, too bad we didn't know he was American since the others were British.

Nope no banana. I will say though, that this gentleman is one of those stalwart character actors of the type we have often discussed around here. Just like a Charles Coburn, or a Whit Bissell, or an Ed Begley. He has starred in over 200 movies.
He looks like Hal Smth, but. I question that choice.
Mod
This supporting actor is not someone extremely famous; he was in plenty of TV episodes but mostly from the 60s. I can't actually find a major movie he ever appeared in but as I say, he has starred in 200 films. Usually plays fast-talking reporters, bankers, salesmen, and the like. He has also appeared in several Stooges shorts.
I will get some better quizzes going today or tomorrow. Things a little hectic lately.
I'm back from suffering from a power outage due to the storms. I need to jump back into the quiz and this guy is really familiar. I may have to think on it a while but I think I can come up with a name.......or not.
I think you might be right, Jill. Hope so.
I think so.....I knew he was Don something and then Beddoe popped into mind. We shall see.
He's been on Perry Mason several times, but he looks heavier in the picture.

on the east coast its been rainy, gray, and cold for weeks!
Not so obscure on tv, and he was even in 'Cyrano de Bergerac' which is no lightweight movie. Glad Jill could see through the costume and facial hair. ;-)
It threw me off for a minute but I recognized that round face finally. It was an atypical photo.

I recognized her eyes, and Jean Willes has been on 'Perry Mason.'That's interesting about the relationship to Harry Davenport.

Her bio says she was 'one of the three Queens pursuing Clark Gable in the movie Three Queens' or whatever. That's the kind of movie I'm rarely a fan of. It doesn't seem flattering to anyone in it. Technicolor studio westerns like that often seem flat and stale to me. 'Three Violent People' is another one which did not impress.
Jean Willes I recognized but lost out on Ann Seymour. Willes had unusual eyes that made her look like a hard character, a part she often played.
That's true, Jill. She often portrayed women who solely looked out for themselves. In the Perry Mason I mentioned, she left a kiss print on her dead boyfriend's forehead, and then tried to frame her best friend for the murder.

It is strange how the names of practically unknown actors can come into your mind when you can't even remember what you did yesterday!!!!! Memory is such a funny thing but it certainly used to come in handy playing Trivial Pursuit!!!!
We are fortunate that so many character actors found jobs in television, and that we can see so many films on television or else we'd be out of luck for seeing them--unless you want to buy quite a few.
Hmmm, could be. I thought it might be Rita Gam.
Bah!!! It looks like Gina Lolabrigida (how in the world do you spell that?) but she is not obscure enough.
Mod
#37 is not an American actress nor Italian; but was fairly big in her own nation.
#38 starred in numerous B-Westerns and B-Noirs on 'Poverty Row'

One of "Elvis' women!" (I sure didn't know that).
But I figured you'd probably guess her without strain.
She was killed in a car crash when she was 24.
Mother of Angela Lansbury.
