I think I actually know the song! Certainly more than the General... 

 

The new guy... I have a feeling I know him... is he an actor?

Not an actor, but definitely a celebrity.

Nope, not Bill Cosby.

Obviously, another clue is required.  He's not an actor, nor a comedian, nor a rapist.  Also not a singer or musician.

 

Could he be an athlete?

 

Here's another picture (look closely):

Yes!  Yes!  Yes!

 

Golfer.  Who is he?

Well the problem is IDK what to Google so as not to get Tiger Woods in results... 

[MikeL]

Clue:  He's older than Tiger Woods, but shares the same profession.

OK I googled better and now I think I know the name but I won't be able to post a new challenge for a day. So maybe others will try to google too and post something new faster?

[MikeL]

Paya?

[paya]

Sorry, work week got in the way. Is it Charlie Sifford?

[MikeL]

Charlie Sifford is correct!  Congratulations, Paya.

 

Born on June 2, 1922, in Charlotte, North Carolina, Charles Sifford developed a passion for golf, going on to win multiple Negro Open championships and challenging the Professional Golf Association's whites-only rule. Sifford succeeded in desegregating the organization despite harassment and death threats, and was a contender in subsequent PGA tours. He wrote the 1992 autobiography Just Let Me Play.

 

At a White House reception on November 24, 2014, Charlie Sifford was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, just the third golfer to receive it and the 25th sports figure overall since the inception of the award in 1963.

 

 

Sifford died on February 3, 2015, at age 92.

Who is it?

[Zombie]

she was a big movie star

[blake_logan]

Looks like Shirley Temple

[paya]

It's not Shirley Temple but it is a big movie star. :-)

[paya]

Come on, it can't be that difficult. I can't make it too easy for you. This was basically the only photo from which you can't recognize her outright. ;-) Zombie seems to know her?

[MikeL]

Not Shirley Temple, huh?  Looks like her.  Is it some other child movie star?

[blake_logan]

Natalie Wood?

[paya]

THIS is Shirley Temple. There are more cute little girls acting in the world. But the one I posted did not get most famous at that age. ;-)

 

[paya]

Do you want a hint? She's exactly 56 years older than my little sister. ;-)

 

Did not help? "Old people are scary. And I have to face it. I am old and I am scary."

no-one else is gonna get it - the Dowager Countess of Grantham
