Off you go BG.

Charlton Heston (born John Charles Carter;[1] October 4, 1923  April 5, 2008)[1][2] was an American actor and political activist.[3]

As a Hollywood star, he appeared in almost 100 films over the course of 60 years. He played Moses in the epic film The Ten Commandments (1956), for which he received his first nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Motion Picture Drama.[4] He also starred in Touch of Evil (1958) with Orson Welles, Ben-Hur (1959), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, El Cid (1961), Planet of the Apes (1968), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), Secret of the Incas (1954), The Big Country (1958) and The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).[5]

A supporter of Democratic politicians and civil rights in the 1960s, Heston later became a Republican, founding a conservative political action committee and supporting Ronald Reagan. Heston was the five-term president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), from 1998 to 2003. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2002, he retired from both acting and the NRA presidency.

She was born in England March 20, 1917, and is active until the present day. She holds CH DBE OStJ. I don't know what all that means but I think DBE is Dame of the British Empire. This will give it away !!! She was known as the "Forces Sweetheart".. Not a Nurse..

You're on the ball Relax-n, funny I didn't get an email notification for this. Who have you got for us?

Claire Hooper (born 5 September 1976) is an Australian stand-up comedian, television presenter and writer living in Melbourne. She appeared as a team captain on the 2008 revival of Good News Week on Network Ten[1] and was a regular on The Sideshow, appearing with Paul McDermott.[2] Since 2005, she has regularly performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Career

Prior to entering into comedy, Hooper worked in children's and adult theatre in Perth, Western Australia, as an actress and director.[3] Hooper attended Curtin University and graduated with a degree in Theatre Studies.[4] She has written, directed and costumed professionally for many youth theatre productions.[5]

In 2004, Hooper won the Western Australian finals of Triple J's Raw Comedy.[6] In 2005, she was selected to perform in "The Comedy Zone" for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and was awarded "Best and Fairest" at the National Improvisation Championships in Sydney.[7] Claire discovered she had a goitre that required surgery, which led her to wonder what she would do if she ever lost her voice. In 2006, Hooper performed a one-hour live show titled Oh inspired by the incident, during which she did not speak at all, instead communicating through recorded audio, videos, handwritten signs, breakdancing and mime. The show was well-received, earning a nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the "Best Newcomer" award.[8] Her 2007 show, "Show Girl", was inspired by Kylie Minogue and involved Hooper juxtaposing ideas of Minogue as dignified and ladylike with her own failed attempts to maintain dignity.[3][9] In 2008, she returned to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to perform a new solo show, "Storybook".[10]
