Can you recognize these iconic TV stars when they were young?

See if their faces still ring a bell a few decades earlier.

 
Stars — they were all young once! And we have the photographic proof. 

We gathered images of some true television icons. There's just one catch — we captured them long before they were famous. 

See if you can still recognize these future stars at a tender age. Good luck!

You got 10 out of 11
Good thing these celebs remained young at heart! Nice work!

Missed the very last one. That did -not- look like Florence Henderson to me.

Missed #9 and #11
I didn't "miss" them, as much as not recognize them.
The others "looked'' as I remember. Those two didn't.

9/11. #5 stumped me and I took a shot in the dark, and #11 looked more like Marion Ross than either of the others. Oh well, it's all for fun... #6 was really easy, because they've used that picture of Don Knotts a couple of times on "Andy Griffith."

11/11. The last one almost got me. I got it right because she looked less like the other choices.

Also, America 2-Night (with Martin Mull). Their slogan was "We put U before the BS."

8/11; I never heard of Ward Bond and did not recognize Leonard Nimoy or Loretta Swit. I was not a fan of Star Trek of M*A*S*H and did not watch those shows.

I never watched Star Trek of M*A*S*H either. Was that the one that Hawkeye spaced out?

I watch a LOT of reruns and always do this-- recognize young, now very famous stars. Many many times, it's their VOICE that is unmistakable. A few days ago, I saw Richard Kiel (most famous as a villain in a james bond movie) as a blind indian/native American man who finds "LASSIE" on show of that name! I did not think he would have been that old--to he been on that show. I could write a list of such sightings!

Well, you certainly knew he played all the aliens in To Serve Man ["It's a cookbook!"].

That wasn't Richard Kiel, it was Ted Cassidy in those roles. Cassidy was also Lurch in the Addams Family
cperrynaples Russ 53 months ago
No, as a long-time Zoner, I KNOW it was Richard Kiel and not Ted Cassidy, who was both Lurch and Thing!
