Sorry, but that is not Amelia Earhart, it's the actress, Katheryn Hepburn.
pfsar
"HRM and Prince Phillip"? It's "HM", meaning "Her Majesty", not "HRM"; you don't say "Her Royal Majesty"...

Fun fact : H.C. Andersen put a mark in his notebook everytime he fapped

Seeing pictures of famous old people when they were young aleays makes me feel somewhat melancholic.

It kinda makes me alcoholic because these folks did shit and I haven't done shit

Gandhi was trying to get a look at her ankles. The perv.

My uncle is related to Bonnie and Clyde. He still gets threatening phone calls and hate mail because of it.

Pretty certain that's not him

That isn't Gandhi. He is an imposter or a lookalike. https://www.google.co.kr/amp/www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/mahatma-gandhi-dancing-w

I thought Mark Twain was going to be Eleanor Roosevelt...guess it's a good thing he grew the beard.
ideologist
He looks 45 there, not 15
plasticsoul
At a glance- the Poe/Lincoln photo is an obvious forgery, and the photo you claim is Amelia Earhart is clearly Katherine Hepburn.
salzersthesalamander
And the Mark looks like an adult head on a kids body

Dammit OP...
Brant04
Also I'm pretty sure van Gogh was extremely poor and wasn't famous till long after his death, so i don't know why there would be any photos
plasticsoul
There are a couple of photos of him as a young man, but later in life he intentionally avoided them. While pricey, photography wasn't (cont)
plasticsoul
...strictly limited to the rich, especially if you were moving in artist circles. He just didn't like them.
LeJoop
and John Wayne at 23, in 1930? That makes him 110 today :)
LobsterBandito
He'd be pretty crotchety right about now if he hadn't died almost 40 years ago.
LeJoop
I think I must be some kind of retarded. First day back at work after 3w of vacation
plasticsoul
Also, the 'Van Gogh' photo here is reversed from original, and the uncropped version shows it was taken in Canada, where he never traveled
LordStarkillerHimself
Yeah cause his left ear should be missing
magundi
Right, Lincoln is photoshopped in, it's Katherine Hepburn not Amelia, Paul Newman and Eliz. Taylor =color enhanced and photoshopped.
BandedCobra
Amelia Earhart is Katharine Hepburn as Lady Cynthia Darrington from the film Christopher Strong but still a great photograph.
MzJenni
She was a real beauty. Look at that bone structure!
thevehiclemagician
Did you hear the new shit about her?
WisconsinHome
What?
callsigncharlie
Yeah! Although not really new, per say, mostly a more in depth confirmation of what they already knew/speculated about her death.
starlette
Per se*. It's Latin for "by itself". :)

Hans Christian Andersen*
iwrestldazombie
Came looking for this. With the last name Andersen I know the struggle.
LurkerOfDarkness
Exactly, he's not swedish.
wutangkillabee
I believe he would have been called H.C. Andersson if he was Swedish.
LurkerOfDarkness
That's also a possibility, but -son is swedish, -sen is danish or norwegian, regardless of any extra s or not.
wutangkillabee
I thought -son with only one s was the English way. But i might be wrong.
LurkerOfDarkness
when people moved away from patronyms, the last set of them basically stayed, some was with ss, others s, this because Andersson means 1/?
