Name that girl

[amazinblue82]

We still have #1,165 and #1,172 open. A few of us got it already - at least I think I do,

We (a crowd sourced decision) made a call couple years ago the thread works better/easier with one game running at a time.

So, a the OP's ready to call the games and officially tell us all who these two mystery girls are?

Thanks.

On #1,172 it was Berta (Conchata Ferrell) from the 2 1/2 men.

#1,165 is none other than Lita Ford.

she was tough ... i grew up on Casey Kasem Top 40. dont recall much of Miss Ford's stuff.

turns out tho i found the fella missing fingers -- Tommy somebody --- but couldnt find who he almost married who also was a rocker.

She's Rock & Roll HOF tho!

The 2 1/2 hint from John led me to the TV show .. only one top-billed female character there so i followed that lead her to "young" photos of her.

she got big acting kudos in that 1979 movie in your hint.

Ok, here are the clues:

She was almost married Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath (he lost the tips of his right hand in a factory accident)

She was linked up with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe in the mid 80s.

She then married "Mr. Real Vocal Power" himself, Jim Gillette of Nitro and had two kids.

She was part of the Runaways (Joan Jett, et al) in the 70's. Her biggest solo hit in the 80's was Kiss Me Deadly as well as the duet with Ozzy Close My Eyes Forever.

I was supposed to see her warm up for Alice Cooper in Omaha but that was a 'canceled by COVID' show.

I knew Anna Nicole but I had to google the other two. It all clicks together when you get the answers though

I'll try another one.

First, this one is from my early 30's daughters. They follow this game .. scratching their heads over the "old people " I put on.

I will admit tho, that if this young lady walked up to me today, before I researched her, I would NOT know her .. let alone from when she was a litte girl.

Despite her mega successes, I also could not name a single thing this lady has done in the professional part of her life.

Age 28 now. Born in Florida.

]n her profession, she literally holds world records for commerical success, her digital footprint, etc .. and she's estimated to be worth somewhat north of the $200M.

Truly a talented person -- she's known in the industry as a "triple-threat" .. she can sing, dance, and act. Exploded on the scene in 2007 on Broadway and never looked back.

Unfortunately, she did come to my attention for the first time via mainstream news for a despicable terrorist act in 2017 that occurred at the end of one of her public appearances. Before that, I never heard of her.

Here she is as a toddler, and then a pre-teen sporting her trademark "look" she still has today. These may not help .. but if you find here today, you can see it's her.

Answer given tomorrow night if game runs till then.

So I had no clue, but the pony tail clued my wife in and she was right.

 

[azblackhemi]

Yup, hairstyle makes it easy even for an old fart like me.

 

[DCMC]

I thought someone else, but the ponytail statement changed my mind.

 

[Big_John]

I had to google the pic. I know the name, but have no clue on anything she's done.

 

[amazinblue82]

I will post answer tonight after work if no one names her before then.

Couple more hints though for people who may still be working on her/just catching up to this game.

She had (at end of 2021) 27 Guinness World records as a musician, and nearly 500 million social media followers worldwide (on all platforms added together, main cohorts for her are millennials and Gen Z'ers).

Good luck.

 

[live4theking]

Ha... I looked he up and still don't know who she is...

 

[65 500]

As usual, no idea.

#1,189. Ariana Grande.

She's big!

Obviously belongs to my kids' generation but this kinda career success and she's not even 30 is astoounding .. plus she really is talented.

Singer, dancer, actor ... started on Broadway in 2007 in the stage play "13". Got noticed, recorded stuff then bang. Recording records that Guinness has for her include (some of these records she held, then later broke)":

• Most streamed track on Spotify in one week (female)
• Most followers on Spotify (female)
• First solo act to occupy top three positions simultaneously on US singles chart
• Most simultaneous Top 40 entries on US singles chart by a female artist
• Most streamed track on Spotify in one week
• Most subscribers for a musician on YouTube (female)
• Most streamed pop album in one week (USA)
• Most MTV VMA nominations for Best Collaboration.
• Most streamed track in one week by a female artist on the Billboard charts
• Most monthly listeners on Spotify for a female

In 2017 a suicide bomber detonated himself outside her concert in Manchester UK.

Her trademark is her ponytail .. hardly a pic in existence over past 15 years without it.

Only ones bigger on social media at soccer player Ronaldo and the Biebs.. I dont get it but again not my generation. In fact, a whole buncha people on there I also never heard of... source: The World’s Top 50 Influencers Across Social Media Platforms

Back to an "older" lady.

Actor, now retired, her career spanned 1959 to 2010. She's 83 years old but unfortunately in a nursing home now battling Alzheimer's.

Born in Mississippi but grew up in Memphis, changed her name from what she was givin at birth when she grew up.

Arrived on the Hollywood scene in 1959 in a musical movie starring one of the old-school crooners, was a "Playmate" in 1960, and did a bunch of movies and television through the 60's & 70's and up to her retirement at age 72.

Lotta cheesecake in her youth, bathing suit shots and obviously some with less on than tnat, as that seemed to be part of her "brand". As a result, she is easily one of the most photographed people ever to this day.

My first memory of her was in a 60's movie ole as a beautiful. blue-eyed blond co-ed who fell for her nutty college chemistry teacher. Another one was "girls!" everywhere that she did with a "king", and then fast-forward early 70's I was watching her swimming upside down underwater in a man's shirt and high heels..

You wont know her from these pics of her, but if you get hef from sleuthin', you go back and you can see the resemblance -- to even the pre-early school age old version of her.

Second pic is somewhere in the mid 50's before she was a star, so she was probably late-teens there -- looks to be same kid to me.

Old-timers like me?-- if we had TV's/movie theaters around, we grew up on her so this might be pretty easy as the clues should do it. We'll see

 

[Big_John]

I got it. Easy one.

 

[MetalManiacAZ]

I had to do some sleuthing to remember her name but the clues made sense. I didn't realize she was with the brother of one of my favorite guitar players (who was also a pretty accomplished guitarist himself) for almost 40 years until his recent death.
