 Sorry Sheba, not British 

My brain sure is not what it used to be.      

I was sure she wasn't a Yank.

A guess from my wife. Is she a younger Angela Merkel?

Thanks Alana.   Here's an easy one.

You're right Sandy.   Who are we looking for now ?

Raquel Welch is an American actress, singer, and model. She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage, after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C.. Although she had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became best-selling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in Bedazzled, Bandolero!, 100 Rifles, Myra Breckinridge and Hannie Caulder. She made several television variety specials.

Thanks Sheba, who is this fella.

Probably not, but would it be a young Elon Musk ?

Wrong country and our man WAS an author.

He is from a Scandinavian country and he is no longer with us.

Stieg Larsson

Either I have put him up before, or he is on my list to put up

You have him Relax-n over to you for a pic. I actually posted him some time back, I thought the younger photo might be a bit harder to pic. He is one of my favourite authors, his life story is interesting with the way the Swedish laws work in relation to a defacto partner. You would think that with all the inheritance his father and brother would have looked after his partner.

Karl Stig-Erland "Stieg" Larsson (/sti lrsn/, Swedish: [k sti æand ln]; 15 August 1954 9 November 2004) was a Swedish journalist and writer. He is best known for writing the Millennium trilogy of crime novels, which were published posthumously, starting in 2005, after the author died suddenly of a heart attack. The trilogy was adapted as three motion pictures in Sweden, and one in the U.S. (for the first book only). The publisher commissioned David Lagercrantz to expand the trilogy into a longer series, which has six novels as of September 2019. For much of his life, Larsson lived and worked in Stockholm. His journalistic work covered socialist politics and he acted as an independent researcher of right-wing extremism.

He was the second-best-selling fiction author in the world for 2008, owing to the success of the English translation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, behind the Afghan-American Khaled Hosseini.^[1] The third and final novel in the Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, became the bestselling book in the United States in 2010, according to Publishers Weekly.^[2] By March 2015, his series had sold 80 million copies worldwide.

Death

Larsson died of a heart attack after climbing the stairs to work on 9 November 2004. He was 50. According to ABC News, fast food and coffee featured heavily in his diet.^[12] He is interred at the Högalid Church cemetery in the district of Södermalm in Stockholm.^[13]

In May 2008, it was announced that a 1977 will, found soon after Larsson's death, declared his wish to leave his assets to the Umeå branch of the Communist Workers League (now the Socialist Party). As the will was unwitnessed, it was not valid under Swedish law, with the result that all of Larsson's estate, including future royalties from book sales, went to his father and brother.^[14][15] His long-term partner Eva Gabrielsson,^[16] who found the will, has no legal right to the inheritance, sparking controversy between his father and brother and her. Reportedly, the couple never married because, under Swedish law, couples entering into marriage were required to make their addresses (at the time) publicly available, so marrying would have created a security risk.^[17]

An article in Vanity Fair discusses Gabrielsson's dispute with Larsson's relatives, which has also been well-covered in the Swedish press. She claims the author had little contact with his father and brother, and requests the rights to control his work so it may be presented in the way he would have wanted.^[18] Larsson's story was featured on the 10 October 2010 segment of CBS News Sunday Morning.^[19]
