Aloha...came across this old framed photo at an antique store. Owner was not sure but thought it was a picture of Jerry Lee Lewis near Diamond Head. He got it from an estate that had 6 photos of famous people from the 40s-60s. Who do you think it is?

Can anyone date those bathing suits?

Looks like Jerry Lee Lewis to me. I can tell by the Chantilly Lace...

Didn't he marry (or mess with) underage girls? I see underaged boys there....."Great Balls of Fire!" ?

Couldn't get very into the '60's, though, not with those super-tight swimtrunks.

Guys always seem to look older than they are, to me, in old movies and all. The hairstyles always make them look so mature (as did the gals with their short, tight, hairdo's in the '30's-'50's).

Those bathing suits are from the 30's or 40's, certainly. The hairdos are from that period as well. But the guy doeslook an awful lot like JLL!
