yes Debra

"At age 18, after returning to the U.S. after volunteering on an Israeli kibbutz, she was involved in a car crash and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage; as a result, she was left partially paralyzed and blind for 10 months, initially being told that she would never see again. With time on her hands to think about her life, she decided that, if she recovered, she would move to California and become an actress."

"Winger's first acting role was as "Debbie" in the 1976 sexploitation film Slumber Party '57. Her next role was as Diana Prince's younger sister Drusilla (Wonder Girl) in three episodes of ABC's TV series Wonder Woman. The producers wanted her to appear more often, but she refused, fearing that the role would hurt her fledgling career."

"Winger's first major role was in Thank God It's Friday, followed by Urban Cowboy in 1980, for which she received a BAFTA nomination and a pair of Golden Globe nominations (for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, and Best New Star)."

Is this a 3rd one, or another image of the first (will be 90 next month)?

That last images look very familiar.

I knew I saw that picture before. I guess I've reached the age where I can hide my own Easter eggs.

So, I cheated too and I didn't know him last time either.

Both of the other two look familiar but don't recall their names. I was going to guess Carl Weathers for the Korean War vet, but I don't think he lived to 95.

not Carl.
KW vet was for the most part always a supporting actor (guest star) in many many TV shows and movies since the '60s. his longest recurring role was in more than a dozen Perry Mason telemovies from 1986 until 1995. In 2005, he became an Army Reserve Ambassador; this distinction carries the protocol of a two-star general. I saw many of his TV shows and movies and always looked like he didn't age. everybody knows him, but nobody really knows who he is.

The Coast Guard vet is another supporting actor many have seen him. Later in his TV career early 90s he was a regular on a very popular show for 3 yrs and had a higher rank as Capt.
