Truman really just seems like the most average Joe that we ever had as President. He wasn't a lawyer, wasn't even college educated. He just seems like a really "common" sort of man whom was destined for high office.

Parnell (1937)

I'm guessing that Gable's sideburns might have been from a period film he was working on at the time.

A.C. Lyles is correct. The film was "Parnell" (1937), which takes place in the 19th century. It was a box office flop for Gable, and made him very wary about doing another 1800s costume picture: specifically, "Gone With The Wind".

Not just the sideburns. Look at the expression on his face. Haha.

Is that Carole Lombard with him? I know she was a blonde, but for some reason I can't picture her face instantly, the way I can with Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Katharine Hepburn.

Is that Carole Lombard with him?

Yes.

Reliever Look

Looks like he could be the mail Reliever for the Padres in the late 70's. Rollie Fingers has nothing on him...

Not anyone famous but this German rocket & jet (!) pilot is sporting a goatee, almost certainly against regulations:

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his last batch of Sherlock Holmes stories during the 1920s, and died smack-bang in 1930. Here's a photograph:
