You have it Dicko. Over to you.

I think we need a few more players !! 

Steve Jobs

 My first clue Trevor referred to a pair of persons.

So not Tesla.

The next clue will clinch it.

Yes indeed it's Wilbur & Orville,  the first men to fly in America.  As an ex kiwi I believe it was a chap born & lived, farmed and invented  not far from where I was born. He is believed to have flown some 9 months before the wrights in an aircraft with a tricycle undercarriage,  ailerons and own built engine. A lot of eye witnesses who saw but were vague with dates but knew it was before a snow (1903).

Anyway here's some info to my belief .

When I wanted to upload the Bio the data was regarded as Spam so the exercise was unsuccessful.

 Yes Stew it is.

Thomas Jeffrey Hanks (born July 9, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker. Known for both his comedic and dramatic roles, he is one of the most popular and recognizable film stars worldwide, and is regarded as an American cultural icon. Hanks is ranked as the fourth-highest-grossing American film actor.

Too many films to mention here though I'm sure we all have a couple of favourites..

 

Over to you.

You are correct Big Gorilla! It is the late Olivia Newton-John. A former Melbournite.

Dame Olivia Newton-John AC DBE (26 September 1948 8 August 2022) was a British and Australian singer and actress.[3] With over 100 million records sold,[4] Newton-John was one of the best-selling music artists of all time, as well as the highest-selling female Australian recording artist of all-time.[5][6]

More about her here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Newton-John

Good one BG!

One of my very favourite rock bands.

It's got to be AC/DC drummer, Phil Rudd.

Phil has a very interesting Bio.

One of my favorites too Dicko Yes, you got it:

Phil Rudd

Phillip Hugh Norman Rudd (born Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis,[1][2] 19 May 1954) is an Australian drummer, best known as the drummer of AC/DC across three stints (19751983, 19942015, 2018present). On the 1977 departure of bass guitarist Mark Evans from AC/DC, Rudd became the only Australian-born member of the band. In 2003, he entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the other members of AC/DC. In 2014, Rudd released his first solo album, Head Job. Due to ongoing legal problems in New Zealand, where he is a resident, Rudd was unable to join the band for the 2015 Rock or Bust World Tour and was replaced by Chris Slade.[3][4] On 30 September 2020, AC/DC confirmed that Rudd would be rejoining the band for their comeback album Power Up.
