Time-Traveling-Celebrity JERRY LEWIS/JIM CARREY


If you were going to time travel would you do it as a character from Dumb and Dumber? Would it just be too hard to resist going back in time to act like a fool knowing no matter what you did there'd be no trace?

Sorry Jim, but I think we got you. Or wait, could that be a young Jerry Lewis? We'll never know. It's just possibly a recorded sighting of a time-traveling-celebrity.

So, how does this fit into the Sepia Saturday theme this week? Ummmmm…I'm thinking…ummmmm…okay, maybe this is Jim Carrey taking a pose for famed silhouette artist Eveline Adelheid von Maydell. Oh, wouldn't you like to have witnessed that event? And if anyone has found the silhouette I think you might be sitting on a fortune…or just an old piece of black paper that makes no sense at all.

Don't understand this whole time-traveling-celebrity theory? Just click on the label below to see previous celebrity sightings through time.

  1. An entertaining take on the theme; I just wish I was a fan of those two!

  2. If I were time traveling, it would NOT be from "Dumb and Dumber." If ever a movie was aptly named . . . . But yes, I can see Jerry Lewis in that photo. Good eye!

    1. It is hard to imagine that the first one was so successful that someone thought there should be a second.

  3. Jim/Jerry needs to get a grip on his portmanteau and shape up or ship out.

    1. I imagine he didn't receive many tips for carrying bags.

  4. Interesting take on the theme! I enjoyed Jerry Lewis when I was a kid. As an adult not so much. He and Dean Martin were quite a team though.

    1. Yes, as a kid I loved them too. I still can watch old Martin and Lewis routines and movies and enjoy them. The later Lewis not much there to love.

  5. The subject of the photo does look a lot like a young Jerry Lewis. Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of slapstick comedy - even when I was young. Dean Martin, on the other hand, when he was a little older . . . ;-)

    1. I even loved the 3 Stooges. Humor was all good to me as a kid. Was a big Bowery Boy fan.

  6. I don't pay attention to current celebrities, so I would be terrible at recognizing time-traveling ones.

    1. Well keep your eyes open because I'm sure the older stars also had this ability.

  7. A goofy fellow in any case. Perhaps some time traveling celebrities have gone forward rather than backward in time.

  8. Love that shirt! I am sure I used to have one a bit like that. A time travelling shirt maybe.

    1. I have a very similar shirt made of rayon that had belonged to my dad. I love it. And yes, it has definitely time traveled.

  9. Jerry Lee Lewis was always good for a laugh. Here, he or his look alike looks relieved to put that case down.

    1. Well now it's getting interesting. "Great Balls of Fire" Jerry Lee Lewis.

  10. I guess along with the "how is the luggage handled" we need to add in the "how does the hair-do" and "clothes" get handled when the celebrity time travels... along with the burning question of "just how big a celebrity do you have to be" to time travel... I mean.. does a Kardashian or Dances with Stars celebrity even qualify?

    1. Since we're not part of the celestial ether I don't think we'll ever know. But unfortunately I do believe some of the lesser humans who are faux through and through have been known to time travel. For example, the "illustrious" Paris Hilton: http://tatteredandlostphotographs.blogspot.com/2009/08/theres-picture-of-paris-hilton-in-her.html
