This photoset on flickr of famous artists' passport photos is so awesome!

A very "earnest" looking young Ernest Hemingway (ha! geddit?) sans beard:

Gertrude Stein:

Man Ray:

TS Eliot:

Frank Lloyd Wright:

Edward Steichen:

Langston Hughes (looking very surreal):

Walt Disney (how this passes as a passport photo I don't know):

Peggy Guggenheim (I've never see her look so...ordinary):

And more including three of e.e.cummmings, Thornton Wilder, Isadora Duncan, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, the Marx Brothers (they got the crazy eyes!), John Singer Sargeant (with a large mustache, who knew?), Grant Wood, Edith Wharton, Edna St Vincent Millay etc...
