Thanks BG.  Who is this ?

I think she was the original movie Mermaid.

Glynis Johns from the 1948 film Miranda. I wouldn't have found her without that clue. I had a really good search yesterday.

I knew that would give her to some-one Sandy.  You are  right of course.  Didn't want to hold the game up for too long.   Who are we looking for now ?

Glynis Johns was born on October 5, 1923, in Pretoria, South Africa. Her mother, Alice Maude Steele, was an Australian pianist, and her father, Mervyn Johns, was a Welsh theater and cinema actor. Even though Glynis Johns was from Wales, she was born away from home, because her parents were on a tour of Africa at the time of her birth.

Thanks Sheba, now what actor did this little guy grow up to be

Bing Crosby ?

No not Bing our fella died as a young man.

James Dean.

James Dean it Sheba who do you have for us.

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931  September 30, 1955) was an American actor. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his stardom were loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956).

After his death in a car crash,^[1] Dean became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and remains the only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations.^[2] In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood in AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars list.

Thanks Sandy.  Your clue made it an easy pick.       Try this one.

I've done some searches yesterday and today. She looks familiar, I don't think she is an actress, is she an Author?

She was a British Actress Sandy.  I'll be surprised if you haven't heard of her.

My daughter thinks she is a younger version of the Granny from Ab Fab, Dame June Whitfield 

Not the Dame, Sandy.   One of her best known films was with Walter Pigeon.

Well that clue did it, her face is familiar but not her name. I was searching through the 50s and 60's I should have gone back further because she was born in 1904. I see she acted in a lot of the old films. Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson 

That's her Sandy.  Who do we look for now ?

Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson CBE (29 September 1904 6 April 1996) was a British-American actress and singer. She was a major star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer who became popular during the Second World War for her portrayal of strong women on the homefront; listed by the Motion Picture Herald as one of America's top-ten box office draws from 1942 to 1946.

She is the fourth most-nominated woman for the Best Actress Oscar.^[1] Garson received seven Academy Award nominations, including a record-tying (with Bette Davis) five consecutive nominations (19411945) in the actress category, winning for her performance in the title role of the 1942 film Mrs. Miniver.^[2]

Thanks Sheba now who is this fella

No idea at the moment.  Don't think it's Bill Clinton.

Not Bill our man became an Actor

Can't pick this one.

Ok this should give it away he made a lot of movies, Google says at least 52, another site says 83. Anyway at age 44 he fell in love with his 19 year old co star and later divorced his third wife and married her. Their names became synonymous you would hear his nickname followed by her name. Everyone our age would know them. If you don't get it I will give a movie they were in.    

Thanks for those Clues Sandy.  Never would have found him without them.

Humphrey Bogart.

That was a tricky one, over to you Sheba for a pic.

Humphrey DeForest Bogart (/bort/;^[1] December 25, 1899 January 14, 1957), nicknamed Bogie, was an American film and stage actor. His performances in Classical Hollywood cinema films made him an American cultural icon.^[2] In 1999, the American Film Institute selected Bogart as the greatest male star of classic American cinema.^[3]

Bogart began acting in Broadway shows,^[4] beginning his career in motion pictures with Up the River (1930) for Fox and appeared in supporting roles for the next decade, sometimes portraying gangsters. He was praised for his work as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest (1936) but remained secondary to other actors Warner Bros. cast in lead roles.

His breakthrough from supporting roles to stardom came with High Sierra (1941) and The Maltese Falcon (1941), considered one of the first great noir films.^[5] Bogart's private detectives, Sam Spade (in The Maltese Falcon) and Philip Marlowe (in 1946's The Big Sleep), became the models for detectives in other noir films. His most significant romantic lead role was with Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942), which earned him his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Forty-four-year-old Bogart and 19-year-old Lauren Bacall fell in love when they filmed To Have and Have Not (1944). In 1945, a few months after principal photography for The Big Sleep, their second film together, he divorced his third wife and married Bacall. After their marriage, they played each other's love interest in the mystery thrillers Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948).

Thanks Sandy.  This one might be a touch more tricky ?  Who is this ?

I've no idea. I'll wait to see if anyone else comes in with an answer.

With some help from my family is he a young Xanana Gusmão 

Not Xanana  Sandy.  [Who is he ?]   This guy introduced to Australia a Sport which a large number of Aussies enjoy, and participate in, every weekend.   

As an old surfer in my younger days, from your clue I knew immediately who he was Duke Kahanamoku

I thought that clue might help. 

You're right of course.  Who do we look for now ?

Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku (August 24, 1890 January 22, 1968) was a competition swimmer who popularized the sport of surfing. A Native Hawaiian, he was born to a minor noble family less than three years before the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. 

Th

e Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championships in Hawaii, the first major professional surfing contest event ever held in the huge surf on the North Shore of Oahu was named in his honor.

 

 

Duke Kahanamoku is the first person ever to be inducted both in the Surfing Hall of Fame and the Swimming Hall of Fame.

 

 

In 1916, Duke Kahanamoku rode one of the longest ever waves at Honolulu. He took off at Castle's, continue through Publics and Queen's, before stepping ashore at Canoes;
