And my immediate reaction was that it looked like a contest waiting to be launched. So here's an annotated version:

Make your best guesses. Here's my list, and it is not complete or at all canonical. Please add, or disagree.

  1. I thought i recognized Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 19, and (though had to cheat and google the other guy) that’s Joseph Nye Welch with him.
    20 (with Judy garland) might be Ethel Merman.
    Is 26 Jack Parr?

  2. There’s another, um, person that should have been numbered. In the upper right corner, you can see Kukla, of Kukla, Fran & Ollie, an extremely popular TV show.

  3. Oops. I just noticed Ollie and Fran. Well done!

  4. Nuts. I was about to give you a hard time. 😉
    Still wondering about 14 — looks like Lucy, but that can’t be Desi. He could almost be Howard Duff, if she looked more like Ida Lupino.
    There are more comments over on the “Here’s my list” page, by the way.
