Where To Watch
Can you guess what decade these classic TV stars were born?
Were these actors born in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s or 1960s?
Sometimes, it can be hard to guess a person’s age, especially if they’re an actor. More often than not, actors play characters younger than themselves. But once in a while, like in Mama’s Family, an actor will play a character way older!

Love MeTV. I remember situations during my high school days like happen on "Happy Days". I graduated high school in '60. Very happy memories. And I can almost lip sync every episode of "M*A*S*H" as I have watched it over anything else whenever there are reruns available. Thank You, MeTV for making that possible.
I suck.

18 of 20. I just guessed their age in the picture and subtracted age from guessed year. I missed Little Ricky because I was not sure of the year the pic was (I guess around 1953 and thought he was at least 5). Also thought David Ogden Stiers was older then being born in the 1940s.

My guess was based on assuming the picture was 1954 or before. Which would make him born in the 1940's. Though actually he was only in episodes 1956-1957. That makes him born in the 1950's instead. Of course I did not check this until after the quiz was taken. I Love Lucy ran from 1951-1957. Richard Keith: Little Ricky Ricardo, Little Ricky was born Dec 1st 1950. My thinking was correct just the years he played the part was off 3 years. Making him about 335 days shy of being a 1940's baby. You learn something new everyday and MeTV helps

15/20 Knew a few, guessed a few.
11/20, yikes. Mostly I erred on the side of younger, so I guess the actors wouldn’t mind.
