Your Next Photo Obsession: Photo #33

Now that we have ID’ed the elusive “Celebrity No. 6”—nice to meet you, Leticia Sarda!—maybe we should look again at this infamous unknown found at the Library of Congress.

According to a blog post from them, back in 2015, the Nation’s Library acquired a very large collection of film- , TV- , and music-related glossies. The collection came from a retiring vendor whose business was titled Unshredded Nostalgia. This monster collection was 30,000 images strong and fills 36 full-size file cabinets at the Library.

Thankfully, the great majority of them arrived to the Library fully (and correctly) identified. But then…. There were some that needed identifying. Of that original 800 or so “unknowns,” there are only about, now, 15 without a name to go with the face.

And this one has been an especially tough nut to crack. It is from a film? It is two musicians? Is it two men? Or two women? Or one of each?
