Surprised that Mark Hamill is the least guessed person, since he seems the most obvious to me. Then again I wasn't alive in the 70s, so I found most of this quiz challenging.

Even knowing that it's him, it doesn't look like him to me. The cowboy hat plus being before his accident that changed his features really threw me off.

The accident was after he filmed Star Wars and he looked the exact same in interviews when the movie was released 4 months later. The damaged face is a myth based on his scars as part of the plot in The Empire Strikes Back.

No. Steve Perry of Journey was famous at the end of the 70s, too. Perry joined Journey as their lead singer at the end of '77. He was the lead singer on the "Infinity" (Jan '78) and "Evolution" (Mar '79) albums and would certainly been considered a celebrity by the close of the decade.

No, he was one of the hardest. I took a punt that it might be him. Nor did I recognise Carson. They were not well known outside the US in the 70s, although Dangerfield did achieve international fame later.

Yes... laziness gets rewarded!

It's apity that Henry Ford died about 25 years too early for this quiz.

What about making a quiz where one last name gets you all the answers at once? Is there a name that qualifies for this?

Maybe Nixon’s VP who became President could be replaced by the other president of the 1970s so that quizzers don’t get two answers right with one guess.

Why doesn't "Dwight" work for Elton John? That's his ACTUAL last name.

People have to stop making ridiculous comments like this, I swear. If you know Elton John's birth name, then how would you not figure out the answer? You recognize his picture and say "That's Reginald Dwight. Oh, no THAT'S not working, what do I do now?!!" lol Do you get how dumb that sounds?

His known, famous name is Elton John. The character in that picture IS ELTON JOHN.

Be honest with yourself. What do you get out of nitpicking like this on Jetpunk? If you think it makes you sound smart, boy are you mistaken!

Agreed--and that's not a crime, even if the joke misfires. On a related topic, that photo of Stevland Morris must predate the 70s, before cornrows and all that.

That is NOT his ACTUAL name!!! It is his birth name. He legally changed his name in Jan '72. While his first hit single, "Your Song" was released in '70, it was released on his eponymous "Elton John" album as he was already using that name. I, therefore, submit that Reginald Dwight was never a celebrity in the 1970s... or any succeeding decade. Elton John was... and is.

Hamill's not very well known outside of Star Wars and voice acting. Ford's been one of the highest grossing movie stars for quite some time.

It seems odd that you have Luke and Han but no Lei. She was at least as well known as the other two, especially if you were a teenage male, which is arguably the target audience.

Particularly given that this is a "1970s celebrities" quiz, so before Harrison Ford became very famous for things other than Star Wars. On the other hand, having 3 people from the same movie might be a bit much. Perhaps Ford could simply be removed in favor of Fisher given that Gerald Ford is also on here.

"I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'".
