Santa Claus? 
Danny Kaye & Dustin Hoffman!
He does look good & snazzy - and comfortable, too! 
btw, have you seen this, I think it's soooo cool. No mini skirts or go-go boots, though.

Great; now he's going to find this thread and say rude things about me.
Okay, if number 1 isn't Ralph Lauren, it's somebody from the world of fashion/beautiful people. Photo by Avedon or Leibowitz, I'm guessing. Darn.
but probably isn't.
#2 looks like Cromwell
Actually I don't have a clue 
Or maybe one of the Bishops. Bishop of Canterbury ...
Cecil Beaton was quite famous in his day. But, oh well.
maybe it's his great great

At his left elbow ...
He just has that Tudor look about him, even if it's a bit distant (as a Stuart). If indeed he is James I, he'd be a first cousin, once removed, from Queen Elizabeth the 1rst- as the son of the famously known 'Mary, Queen of Scotts' who was E's 1rst couisin.
Holbein did a lot of great stuff for his time, but that would have been at least 60+ years prior to KJ's reign. (IF i'm right) 
<--- Hey, i am going by your rules CY--well w/the exception of 'guessing' part.
Furthermore,, it just does not appear to be his (Holbein's) 'style' (though I admittedly know little about such things). The clothing appears to be deeper Renaissance Period (ie early/mid 1600's) then what Holbein would have seen and depicited in his day.
But thank you librechick, for steering me in this direcrection, even if I am wrong.
#5 is Lorenzo di'Medici by Raphael.
It looked like a di Medici portrait -- the gold brocade, the fur -- and a quick search on 'renaissance di medici portraits' showed that it was.
Thanks CTyankee!

Thanks for playing, everybody! I hope I didn't drive you too crazy this week...
Have you ever watched the video of him leading a tour through the villa he transformed in southern France? He drew or painted on most of the surfaces in it. Just amazing to watch and listen to him explain his process. It's a bonus with the 3rd film of his Orpheus trilogy - I have to say I like it better than that particular film, though I could watch Orphee over and over - well, actually I have
Agree that Penn captured his essence well. I also love the photo by Man Ray with Cocteau looking through a frame, especially given Cocteau's fascination with mirrors and reflection.
I think the museum closed when Wunderman died and the collection was moved.
Yes, it looks like it's in France now:

I went a couple times to it when it was in Irvine and still only saw a small portion of the collection since it was so large, they rotated what was shown. The building itself was nondescript, in a bland corporate complex in a cul-de-sac, located near identical complexes. Such a contrast to Cocteau's work inside. I first went there with a friend I had persuaded to go along in order to watch Belle et le Bete - the 2nd time I'd seen it and the 1st for her. Back then, you could not just watch a film when you wanted, so it was greatl to be able to see it again. Then the bonus was to be in a museum full of his work - wonderful.
