Name that girl

#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

She's a disgusting PIG

 
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 :)

I got her from the clues, but no, did not recognize her from these photos. Shame she has Alzheimer's, a terrible disease/condition. My parents currently have it to varying degrees and its not any fun at all.

yeah ... IMO it was spoiled brat, boorish, juvenile behavior. not her (anybody's) finest hour to be sure. it was 2015 so she was 22 years old -- definitely old enough to know better than that kinda BS.

apparently she later apologized (source: https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/09/entertainment/ariana-grande-donut-licking-america/index.html) in a "private" video a few days later

CNN — Ariana Grande is sorry.

The singer posted an apology video on Thursday amid backlash from a video in which she appears to lick doughnuts in a shop south of Los Angeles and says she hates America.

“Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly, that you have no idea was taken, is such a rude awakening, that you don’t know what to do – I was so disgusted with myself,” she said.

Like most celebrities, her fans forgave her. non-fans didnt and thought her apology was lame.

So .. she apologized -- again -- for EVERYBODY to see.

#1,198 Stella Stevens

Everyone that responded seems to have gotten her.

Name at birth was Estella Eggleston, married at 16 to a guy named "Stephens" for a minute, had one child Andrew (also an actor), got "discovered" in college play at Memphis State, and off she went.

The clues were here age of course, and her more memorable movies. The college girl in the Jerry Lewis' original "Nutty Professor", a love interest in the Elvis Presley's "Girls! Girls! Girls!, and a major supporting character in the in 1972 version of the "The Poseidon Adventure" about the capsized luxury liner.

Since we made this a "family thread" couple years back, I am not putting too much of the cheesecake here. You wanna refresh your recollection tho, just google her and you'll find TONS of pics of her in various stages of dress - and undress - over the years.

Never married again but her significant other from 1983 (until he died in 2020) was Bob Kulick (a noted guitarist), who was older brother of KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.

Word is now is a tough time for her health-wise, and she has largely disappeared from public view.

Coming up on age 50 in a few months here in 2022. Colombian by birth, came to US (Miami) in1998, became a US citizen in 2014. Model and actor.

"Discovered" on a beach in Colombia in 1989 at age 17, did TV commercials & modeling in Columbia, started hosting a game show in Miami on Spanish television until US primetime TV came knocking and made her famous and rich.

The fact that she looked good in clothes -- lotsa of 'em or wearin' little of 'em -- surely helped her get attention her entire career. She's quite the looker.

There's also some pretty rich cheesecake (stuff for the members only section) out there on this lady from her swimsuit/beach modeling days before primetime US TV found her in 2009.

She spent several years (2009-2020, 250 episodes, and I gotta admit I never saw ONE episode of that show) in a primetime, long-running TV role, being nominated and winning several awards for her character, and the show that ultimately made her the highest paid female actor in 2020.

She did assorted supporting parts in Hollywood movies/other TV guest spots over that time as well.

She's still doing TV and movies, the latter she moved into a project she produced and is starring as a really "bad" lady .. not her typical "eye-candy"/comedic kinda role.

I dont know her from the pics, but still going light on clues as this one still should be easy given this woman's recent American public profile.

Too easy! :poke:
yeah, maybe so.

I wasnt sure boss about her .. I bias toward being more "helpful" with hints than less, to make the sleuthin' EZ'er .. but my personal familiarity with her is LOW despite her popularity.

i had no knowledge of any of her personal background before her American TV gig -- except she was making crap-ton of money doin' that show.

and i never watch network TV .. gives me a headache. :)
 
As seen in the second photo, she's a natural brunette, TV producers wanted her to be a blonde.

She is indeed a looker.
 
had an idea who it was but could not put a name to her or even the tv show. never watched it except for a clip of it once and a while. so i cheated and i was rite.

#1,210. Sofia Vergara

Way too easy, OR my ignorance of this woman caused me to give too much on her, OR she really IS that popular. Maybe all of the above.

She was a principal actor on ABC-TV's Modern Family for 11 years. According to Forbes Magazine, she made $43M in 2020 (combination of Modern Family's final season and America's Got Talent earnings).

She's still on AGT, and produced and starring as Griselda Blanco (the Black Widow) of the Medellin drug cartel - not anything like her other actor roles.

Again, I am gonna go easy on the cheesecake, but believe me its out there by the boatload. Even her primetime TV image (what other reason to pose "sideways" in the green dress below) emphasized her looks -- part of why that show hung around for over a decade.

Coming up on 50 years old, we'll see how her career evolves as Father Time comes a knockin' (and the bikini don't fit as well as it used to).

Last two very recent pictures below would indicate, while you can see 50 on her, she's keeping it together pretty good to me.

She's definitely a looker but I can't stand the sound of her talking. Al Bundy had to put up with a lot of flim flam just for them taters....
