About Faces is an American game show that aired from January 4, 1960, to June 30, 1961, created by Ralph Edwards.[1] The host was Ben Alexander and the show's announcer was Tom Kennedy.[2]
Competitors were selected from the studio audience.[3] Each pair of contestants was challenged to recall how the two of them had come into contact with each other previously. The first to do so won a prize. The program was similar to Place the Face.[4]
For guest stars who appeared on the program, Alexander interviewed the star briefly before a "mystery person out of the star's past" was shown inside a picture frame. The star then heard a series of clues to help him or her identify the person in the frame.[5]
