Saturday Immortals

This week's Friday Fun & Games quiz comes from the pages of Look magazine in August of 1937 - their first year of publishing. Life magazine started just a handful of months before them, at the end of 1936. Those hugely influential magazines were both born in the dawn of the comic book age. What else was born in that time of creation?

Just wondering.

Anyway, there are plans afoot to go digging through some of those mags from early in the last century - and the one before that - in upcoming entries. After all - just look at how Odd that mix of images is for this cover.

But now - here's their first annual most popular celebrities list for the solution to yesterday's quiz, with the extra fun of listing how much each was earning 80 years ago. (Yeah, as we can see on #3 - some things seemingly never change):
