8/11 because my grandfather taught me a trick when I was a kid that really works: remember a person by their eyes and no matter how much their face changes, you will still pretty much remember them. The 3 I didn't get I wasn't really familiar with them. Once I attended a costume contest at a mall for Halloween. Several weeks later I encountered one of the other contestants and complimented him on his costume. It freaked him out because the only part of him you could see was his eyes. I once recognized someone I knew in jr high when we were in our 30s and he had gotten really obese. He didn't remember me and was amazed I remembered him. I told him you may have changed but your eyes didn't.

10/11...I missed #6. In this image, he could have passed for Reiner, though Reiner was younger during the time of this old photo, but I chose of course, Frawley. Just didn't resemble Hitchcock even with the hair.

8/11, most were pretty easy. Missed Alfred Hitchcock, Barbara Pepper and Jonathan Harris…even though I could totally see Dr. Smith in that face. Milburn Stone kinda resembles a young John Wayne in that photo.

10/11 Guessed on a few and blew the last one. I would have bet money that Alfred Hitchcock picture was actually Curly Howard!
