Name that girl

folks are getting her. all kinda ways. that may be the exception and not the rule. i do think she's on the more challenging side and will take a little work (or help from younger people).:)
 
New game.

I know this girl from my kids (girls, both approaaching 40 now - damn, i'm getting old) because she's in the popular news now. Us old men with hats (we aint the target demographic) will have trouble with this one or we'll cheat or get help. if you dont' follow contemporarary young singers/actors (they aint following us) and wanna tough it out find a rock now and save yourself some time. This girl is a hard one.

Maybe anybody else, but maybe not, and you can get her. I know who she is but if i wasnt OP, the visual clues probably would not work Make rooom under the rock for me. i know nothing she's recorded. About age 14 below and I see the resemblence to the adult now. i'll try with good written clues, but you'll still have to work at.

Age 32 now. Singer, and Actor,- born in Florida. Much bigger singer than her impact as a actor (again, i cant name anything she's sang (without help) after her first record in 2013 and acculated total world wide sales (times ten when you consider streaming and things other than records) of 90+million units. Mainly a pop/r&b artist. Large social media following.

She can really sing. Rare, vocal range of four octaves and I still dont know her except for a main role in a old/new Hollywood franchise movie with a house from Kansas in it is about to come out again, and I will only go to cuz my kids will surely drag me to it. This is despite me growing up watching a original version of it every year on television as a kid.

Answer middle of the week.
I think I've heard the name, but that would be about it. As usual I had to cheat.
 
2,514 Ariana Grande. Wikipedia. She clearly still young-looking and most poeople got her via ol' fashioned elbow grease even thogh most us dont know her. i ended it a day early.

she plays "Glinda" the goood witch in the modern reboot of the Wicked. the second, recent movie is soon to be out, and she (they) were on a press junket in Singapore last week , and a nutty fan came outta the crowd and apparently tried to grab her. the actor playing the green witch intervened. As you might imagine it all made headline news around the world.

Anyway, Grande is a pop diva with the HUGE commercial sucess to go with it. She's big but not nessarily with my generation (60+) as an entertainer but possibly as a main stream news maker. I went back and listened to her music (greatest hits attached) and drew a blank. Young (under 40) people go nuts for the stuff. i dont get it.

Happy Thankgiving.

New Game

Going old again. guarantee we old men in hats saw her classic movies and television as we grew up
1763843705044.png

actor, born in 1925 in Ny, raised in California to entertainer parents. First film in1936, but first actor gig in a stage play in 1934, a few memorable Hollywood movies, a lot of classic telvision, active for nearly 90 years. she lived to be 100 years old. she died recently but it was this year. She last worked in 2021.

she was wholesome & pretty but not glamorous, more likely to play a mother type character or similar major part female character role. She was in a lot of westerns - from the 1960's --- Wagon Train, Cimmaron Strip, Rawhide --- as a guest star featured (usually in one episode as a tough but beautiful frontier matron type). She won acting awards but mostly they were for longevity in the business but in one case for the unique nature of one "far out" sci-fi TV part that NASA recognized her for from the 1960's.

above at age 10 so 1935. from the 1950's when she is easy to recognize. obviously older but she looked the same. hard to get from that pic unless you cheat but if you think hard about what you were watching on TV in the 1950's and 1960's something might come to you.

this is medium difficulty i think. answer before Thanksgiving. younger folks might have trouble with this one,

not just the younger have trouble
well that fresh faced 10 year old does look like the 100 year old that recently died --- but only because i know her. i cant tell from that while any of us can miss her in a movie, i am sure we saw her on tv in one or three multiyear shows that were popular. all still in reruns after over 40 years. two are still relevant and one just kinda silly and campy looking back at the original (it was remade again in the streaming era to some success.)

hint: She was in a Rawhide episode with this guy. recognize him? looks funny with a Smith&Wesson vs. a phaser.

in another one, she took over for a main character who died in real life unexpectedly (she had lung cancer but died suddenly) during the show's run. rather than cancel the show, the network tried to replace the old matriarch with this lady in the late 60's. to me, it didnt work and two years later show was canceled.

anyway, hope she comes to you. answer tuesday.

As a kid I had a huge crush on her older daughter on a show she was in.
yeah, if were talking about the sci- fy show, i liked the older girl too. the other guy wasnt trying very hard- my dad thought he was a p*****.

mid 60's TV morality. we (me and Dad) often wondered what Captain Kirk would have done just a few years later.
