Separated at birth?
Not a pair of flattering photos—both of them looked a lot better when young. But hey, didn’t we all?

Not a pair of flattering photos—both of them looked a lot better when young. But hey, didn’t we all?
Let me guess, let me guess! They’re fruit flies, magnified X100.
I give up. Who are they?
#1 – Francis Fox Piven
#2 – ?? she’s an actress but I can’t remember her name
Betty Friedan and Roger Daltrey.
you can add a third picture.
the tanning salon mother…
these are very scary photos. they should come with a warning. I know and have seen older, older ladies who I think are darn pretty. They are happy to look their age and they radiate good looks, older good looks but still very pleasant.
If the first photo is who Lizzy said it is then photo # 1 is ugly from the inside out and at any age.
So, tell us, Neo!
Incidentally, there’s a poll for Sedalia, MO’s Man Of The Year, and anyone wanting to vote for Tuffy the Rodeo Clown should go here:

I’m going with Madeleine Albright’s mother and Madeleine’s Irish nanny.
Lizzy is correct on #1: Francis Fox Piven.
And Lizzy is correct that the second is an actress.
Here is the first when young.
Here is the second when young.
#2 — Estelle Parsons?
Wouldn’t that be Frances Fox Piven
Speaking of Estelle Parsons, Blanche Barrow didn’t think much of the movie “Bonnie and Clyde”, to quote:
“”That movie made me look like a screaming horse’s ass.””
The real Blanche Barrow was much better looking than Estelle and a beat better than Bonnie, as well.
NeoConScum:
Estelle Parsons WAS especially annoying in “Bonnie and Clyde.”
Bonnie and Clyde was PURE fiction…
The FBI (Hoover) had the facts all these decades — and sat on them.
The FBI records are crystal clear:
1) Bonnie NEVER toted a B.A.R. … she was too light and small to pack more than a small pistol. No injured party was ever connected to Bonnie.
2) Clyde Barrow was sexually molested by a pervert while in Texas prison… as in love toy… Consequently, Clyde swore to get the perp — and anyone standing next to him. He did so.
Clyde went entirely out of his way to run a one-man war on the Texas prison system of his day. This was in an era when Texas still ran chain gangs… so his targets were way out in the open. Think “Cool Hand Luke” — this time with Clyde popping up with a B.A.R.!
Clyde’s campaign ultimately caused his particular hell hole to be closed down entirely. It motivated his crusade — and he wasn’t silent about it. His tales caused others to join up with him — particularly his brother.
This aspect of the B&C road show has been white-washed by Law Enforcement… for obvious reasons.
Not surprisingly, Texas law enforcement put Clyde Barrow up as Texas enemy number one. This is only vaguely implied in the 1967 fantasy-film.
The one thing they did get right: Clyde’s reputation for blowing law enforcement officers away with a B.A.R. — and whatnot — overawed every sheriff he ran into.
He also had NASCAR driving skills! The number one way that he was spotted: a V-8 Ford blasting down dirt roads at 70-80 miles an hour… Clyde Barrow every time.
His speed advantage was so great that there are no accounts of him even being chased. Clyde would be in the next county before you could react.
His favorite targets: solitary gas stations in the sticks. His typical robbery: for eight bucks in the till. These joints were so far off the map that they had no telephones!
The Hollywood tales of him robbing banks were, and are, fiction in virtually every case. These tales were planted by law enforcement — to make Clyde feared and hated by everyone.
The real Barrow operated in exactly the opposite way: he stayed away from conducting any crimes in built up areas. To do so negated his sole high speed defense — drive like hell.
Every time Clyde built up his stash he’d arm up — and head back to Texas. Unlike the rest of the Midwest, Clyde shunned petty robberies in Texas. (Home soil?) Instead he zeroed in on Texas law enforcement officers. He particularly liked to gun down warders of chain gangs. Not normally put in the record were his unsuccessful attempts. There were more than a few. Naturally, these were not publicised — but they did have prison wardens freaking out. Just a rumor that Clyde was out on the hunt would curtail all chain gangs.
So it’s no surprise that the Texas Rangers were put to the task of getting Clyde Barrow — come what may.
The fact that they’d created their own monster was buried by themselves and the FBI.
There is NO evidence that Barrow was a homosexual. There is abundant evidence that he was repeatedly raped while in Texas custody. It’s not a tale that can play big at the box office: rape victim goes on vendetta against the system.
IIRC, the crime that had Barrow in prison was petty. Even thirty-days in jail would’ve been too heavy.
=======
In the modern day, the Clyde Barrow tale shows just how vulnerable any law enforcement officer is when an enraged fanatic is on the loose — with suicidal fury.
This makes muslim immigration utter folly in the era of al Qaeda, for it is a certainty that the fanatics will follow in Clyde’s footsteps. Look back to the Boston Marathon, to the DC Snipers, … even a sprinkling of suicide fanatics induces total disruption of our society.
And, in both cases, law enforcement ran AWAY from their own, politically incorrect, data input!
This phenomenon is pervasive: Sherlock Holmes, we’re not.
