Actor John Payne, 1940

Payne was cast as a light romantic lead up until his service in the US Army Air Corps. Like so many other male stars he came back from World War II a changed man, reflected in his choice of tough guy roles in film noir and Westerns after his discharge in 1947. He’s most familiar to contemporary audiences for Miracle on 34th Street, which was actually an unusual role for him

here's one sincere-sounding article that tries to explain the "mugshot"......the picture is either an 18-year-old Newman in 1943 when he joined the Navy (did they take "mugshots" like this??)....or a 21-year-old Newman in 1946 when he got into a fight in his native Ohio while at college......

Rudolph Valentino, his dog and maybe a boy-toy?

The fellow on the left in this image from 1925 is the boy novelist Horace Atkisson Wade (b. 1908), who published a 30,000-word thriller, In the Shadow of Great Peril in 1920 at the age of eleven. The image was taken outside Valentino's bungalow at United Artists during production of the silent film The Eagle.
