Some of these just aren't good photos of the people. Everyone knows Picasso looked more like this:

Yes, I intended this thread to be educational as well. There are info for every personality in the above reveals.

I only ever knew Carl Lewis as an esteemed name in track and field. But I had no idea what he looked like. Flo-Jo is probably the only track star I could pick out because of her iconic look.
I do know who Berlusconi is but couldn’t identify him. Ted Turner is probably the only media mogul I could pick out because he was married to Jane Fonda. As fo the French guy, all I have to say is, who?
Will there be a G4?

G4 - How many of these do you identify?

I definitely know who 34 is. I'm pretty sure about 32, 35, and 36 (36 I must recognize from product endorsements or something, because I definitely don't care about his career. Not that I care about 32 or 35's careers either). 33 looks really familiar but I can't put a name to the face. No clue about the rest.

Edit: I think I've figured out who 33 is.

I think I know 31, but could be wrong
38 and 40 seem familiar but not sure who they are
34 and 36 aren't familiar to me

I definitely recognize 31, 32, 33, 35 and 37. I also recognize Rick James and Geraldo Rivera’s moustache but I can’t place the actual guy.
Thanks mrblond this is fun!

I know 32, 33...35 looks like someone but hard to confirm from that shot. I know who 37 is. That's it.

You are right about 35. Nobody else wears their clothes like that.

I swear 38 is Micheal Jackson, looks just like him.

Reckon I got 31, 32, 33, 36, 38 and 39. Feel like I should know a couple others but can't place them.

For G1 I got Prost because I've been an F1 enthusiast in addition to Berlusconi and Wilder. Missed Peter Ustinov and Picasso as the images were unfamiliar.

Was he ever in German films?

Nah just mostly music videos

For G2, the surprise was that few identified Toshiro Mifune.




...

Think I know #'s 32 thru 38. Guess submitted.

The only one I recognized from G2 was Larry Bird and it took me awhile to figure out who it was. I don't care at all about sports and have never watched a basketball game. I probably only recognized him because he was part of the Olympic "Dream Team" from 1992. I don't care about the Olympics either, but it was all over the news at the time.

John Dumbear on the board. You can try G3 too. It is still open: Group Links

Alexander Payne is quite handsome. I don’t recognize Mifune outside of a samurai costume. I’ll have to check out Kim Wilde, i should’ve known her. I was close concerning Liam Gallagher. I guessed smug English musician.

Group 3 - Guessed 21. 22, 24, 25, 26, 30.
