Looking for some help. This weekend I'm playing in the World's Largest Trivia Contest in Stevens Point, WI http://www.momsfamilies.com/trivia last year we finished 2nd out of 500+ teams

When you sign up they give you a book with pictures in it and you get the week to try to find out what they are of. Most are really tough but we usually get all but 1 or 2. I'm hoping that some here can give thoughts/ideas of any of the pictures located here:

Any help or thought could give us the lead we need to finding the picture. Thanks for any input.

FWIW, here's what I knew about some of the photos (after briefling glancing at them). Not sure if this will help or not:

#2 is Renee Zelweiger (sp?)
#14 looks like Charlie Chaplin, but I don't know what movie it's from
#19 looks like the Three Musketeers, but I don't know the actors in the photo
#24--these are Christmas ornaments that my mom ordered for me back in the early to mid-80s. They are little fruits and vegetables (dressed in Christmas garb), and she ordered them from a fruit and veggie company, but I can't remember which one right now. Maybe it was Dole, but I'm not sure. I have them at home in my attic with my Christmas decorations. (The same company also had larger versions of the same characters, which my mom also ordered).

Hope that helps. You probably already knew most of those, anyway....

9 is Hector Elizondo
10 kinda looks like Warren Buffett, but I think the picture may be too old
I'm usually good at this sort of thing, but these are tough at first glance.

#1: Altoid mints ad. I don't recognize the kid.
#2: Renee Zelwegger(sp?)
#3: Lead singer for Puddle of Mudd (I have no idea what his name is)
#4: Very familiar but I'm just not sure, maybe an author.
#5: ?
#6: ?
#7: Big guess on this one - Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
#8: Hector Elizondo: played the head administrator/doctor on TV's "Chicago Hope" and has done alot of character/supporting actor roles in movies.
#9: ?
#10: ?
#11: ?

Hope that helps!

Sorry, 7Lords, but I'm clueless.

Have now found out the info on these - they are from Del Monte and they are called the Yumkins

#17 is Sterling Moss.
#21 is part of the Woodstock logo I think.

I think NYCPORT is correct on no. 21

it's a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Assed Guess), but isn't #5 Dale Evans?

I'm working on 'em Wade.. some are pretty tough, that's for sure!

good luck with the contest-I had a friend who was on the faculty of the UW campus there and was in town once during the contest-it is amazing and amazingly difficult! I'm impressed with your previous finish.

Let us know how you do!

Great! Glad I could help get you started on that one. I knew the company they came from stated with a "D," I just couldn't quite remember it.
