Swiss Missus

This is the cheese proprietor's wife from Swiss Miss who is not specifically identified in the massive IMDB cast list.If she is indeed listed as an extra, then they could have been more specific in this case!! With a cast of 140 listed the press book must have been quite heavy.

my profile on Laurel and Hardy forum

One of the followers of this blog has told me it is almost impossible to post a comment on this blog.An alternative way is to PM me at http://www.laurelandhardyforum.com/ and my user name is busybody.(avatar is Stan with flapping ears).I have also been helping Dave Heath to identify L&H costars on his excellent site at http://www.lordheath.com/ .Please take a look.Thanks.

Me and my pal

This is the wedding scene from the 1933 short 'Me and my pal'.From left to right I would say they are Unknown,probably Caroll Borland,James Finlayson.Unknown,Marion Bardell,possibly Mary Kornman.
On IMDB there is no vicar and only 2 bridesmaids listed for this film so this is guesswork.Someone else has stated that Mary Kornman was definitely not in this film and I tend to agree.The lady on the right may just look like Mary.This actress also appears briefly in at least two ZaSu Pitts/Thelma Todd short films.In 'Maids a la Mode' she is the model who first goes on the catwalk and in 'Alum and Eve' she is a nurse.

Evelyn Finley

The first picture is Evelyn Finley (1916-1989).She was an actress and stunt double mainly in westerns from 1936 to 1964.The colour picture is the as yet unidentified Little Red Riding Hood from 'Babes in Toyland'.There may be some years between the photos and I think the resemblance is strong.From other stills I have the height looks the same too.The 3rd and 4th pictures are Evelyn from the 1942 film 'Trail Riders' which was 8 years after 'Babes in Toyland'. Strangely there is a female stunt horserider in the 1932 short 'The Chimp' but she does not look much like Eve.

Pretty maids all in a row

From Flying Deuces I have identified these lovely looking ladies as from L to R Christine Cabanne,Monica Bannister,Bonnie Bannon,Mary Jane Carey.As they were all listed as Georgette's (played by Jean Parker) friends on IMDB I had to search for other images to decide who is who.Hopefully I have them correct.

Jack and Jill

Next is Jack and Jill from the same film Babes in Toyland (March of the Wooden Soldiers).Does anyone know the names of these two?

Laurel and Hardy co stars

The purpose of this blog is primarily to identify actors and actresses who have had a substantial role in any Laurel and Hardy film but have not been listed in the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) or elsewhere under that film.To start off this is a photo of Little Red Riding Hood in Babes in Toyland from 1934.If anyone knows who the actress may be please leave a comment.Please note that this is from the excellently colorized version so the hair colour may not be entirely accurate.
