I have a wild guess, but I'll research later to see if I guessed correctly.

This gal started out in modeling, working her way up from car shows to a contract with Wilhelmina, a top NY agency. Over the years, she became a successful actress who appeared in TV commercials, acted on Broadway, did musical theater, cartoon voice-overs, appeared in a number of supporting movie roles, starred in 2 TV sitcoms & made supporting appearances in a number of popular TV dramas, and then gave up her career to be a full-time mom.

I believe that this is Pam Dawber Harmon from her recent guest role on her real life husband Marc Harmon's show NCIS.

This actor got his start during the silent film era and is best known for playing comic roles, but he did play some more serious parts some of which really hurt his later career due to their controversial political tone.

Wow! This is a tough one - he doesn't even look the least bit familiar! I'll be on the hunt ... Later: Is this Charlie Chaplin?

I googled your clues & had 3 possibilities. Looking through photos, it was tough to decide but finally found 2 older photos that looked close to our mystery man. I'll post somebody this evening.

I've had trouble thinking of anyone to post. This man was taught by his father that loving and serving his country was to be a highly respected pursuit. This man passed that love of country and the values of service to country and your neighbors to his own children. He was a teacher, and then studied law and became a highly-sought attorney who valued fairness.

Without this man's influence, American history may have turned out differently.

Bob Dole once considered our mystery man's wit to be similar to Don Rickles'. He was definitely known for his sarcasm.
