I was going through some STS-118 images and came across this image taken in the virtual reality lab at JSC. There appears to be several autographed portraits on the wall. I looked at the hi-res photos to try to see more, but I didn't recognize the faces. The guy in the lower center looks a little like Peter Jennings, but I couldn't read the writing. |

One of them is readable as Mandy Patinkin. To the left of that, looks like "Vanessa" somebody. Another image looks like Donald Sutherland. |

And that looks like it could be Katie Couric on the right... |

The VR lab is a popular stop for celebrities touring JSC, where they can briefly experience what it's like to spacewalk.This shot of Barbara Morgan has a slightly clearer and larger view of their autograph collection, where you can see the cast of the movie Space Cowboys — Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland — as well as actress Vanessa Lengies ("American Dreams"), actor Mandy Patinkin ("Criminal Minds"), and Miss USA 2001 Kandace Krueger (who is from Houston). |

I believe that is actually journalist Cokie Roberts. |

It appears to be Candice Bergen. The autograph looks like hers and the person in the photo appears to be her. |

By the way, here's a shot from my own run in the VR Lab... it was impressive and I experienced a touch of vertigo as I "stepped" off the front porch of the Quest airlock. |

I think Scott is right...that looks like her signature.

Four of those very familar photos are: - Clint Eastwood
- Tommy Lee Jones
- Donald Sutherland
- James Garner
All from the great film "Space Cowboys". How cool is that...Robert perhaps they will cast you for the sequel?  |

I'm trying to figure out who is in the photo to the diagonal bottom right of Donald Sutherland. Is that Willie Nelson or Sy Liebergot?  |
