Thanks for that good guess ballast2. I think he started well before Dave, his catch cry was "bring your money with you" That will give him away!

Born in London in 1913, young Joe Sandows lessons in salesmanship began in the historic Chapel Street market in working-class Islington, near his parents millinery shop. The traders there sold everything from apples to fake aspirin.

Emigrating to Australia with his wife and three children in 1949, Joe secured a job at Nock and Kirbys, the big Sydney hardware store, the day after he arrived, quickly becoming known for his gadget demonstrations.

You got it Sheba. Who is the next mystery person ?

I thought Roy was of Cherokee descent.   No Blonde Indians that I know of.    This guy was also always [I think] Blonde.

Good on you Alana.  Couldn't help laughing when I saw your name.

Who do you have for us ?

 

 

Alan Ladd Jr. first learned his father was a movie star when he was just about 6 years old and saw a preview for one of his upcoming films.

Patriarch Alan Ladd, who appeared in about 150 movies, including 1942s This Gun for Hire and was often paired opposite screen siren Veronica Lake, passed away in 1964 at age 50 from an accidental drug overdose.
 

His son, a celebrated film industry executive and producer who famously gave Star Wars and Alien the green light in the 70s, said he still has fond memories of the late actor.

I never saw him get caught up in fame, the 81-year-old told Closer Weekly in the magazines latest issue. My stepmother was more involved with the business than he was. She was an extraordinary woman, and he was a good husband and father.
