Sorry DMaxer.  Just went back and saw your last post.    You can always answer, and ask some-one else to post.  That way, we don't hold things up too long, or are you waiting to see if Sandy can get it ?   biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

That was a quick game Sheba, you've got her over to you for a pic.

Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell (June 21, 1921 February 28, 2011) was an American film actress and one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s.

Russell moved from the Midwestern United States to California, where she had her first film role in Howard Hughes' The Outlaw (1943). In 1947, Russell delved into music before returning to films. After starring in several films in the 1950s, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), Russell again returned to music while completing several other films in the 1960s. She starred in more than 20 films throughout her career.

Russell married three times, adopted three children, and in 1955 founded Waif, the first international adoption program. She received several accolades for her achievements in films, including having her hand and footprints immortalized in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dame Helen Lydia Mirren, DBE is an English actor. Excelling on stage with the National Youth Theatre, her performance as Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra in 1965 saw her invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company before she made her West End stage debut in 1975. Since then, Mirren has also had success in television and film. She is one of the few performers who have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting in the US. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for the same role in The Audience, and has won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie four times.

I have been searching for early Australian politicians because I knew he was a politician I'd seen him before. The way I found him was to find out what the name of those glasses was and they are called Pince-nez which is French for pinch nose so I've learnt something I just have to retain it biggrinbiggrinbiggrinTheodore Roosevelt Jr.

Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame

You have her Sheba over to you for a pic.

Dame Pattie Maie Menzies GBE (2 March 1899  30 August 1995) was the wife of Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies.

Biography

Menzies was born as Pattie Maie Leckie at Alexandra, Victoria, the eldest daughter of John Leckie, a Deakinite Liberal who was elected the member for Benambra in the Victorian Legislative Assembly in 1913. He won the federal seat of Indi in 1917. Pattie usually accompanied her father on electorate tours until he lost his seat in 1919.

Pattie Leckie attended Fintona Girls' School in Melbourne, and during this time saw Robert Menzies, but they were not formally introduced until 1919. After they met, Menzies became a regular visitor at her father's home. On 27 September 1920 they were married at Kew Presbyterian Church in Melbourne. Soon after their marriage, the Menzies bought the house in Howard Street, Kew, which would become their family home for 25 years. They had three surviving children: two sons and a daughter. Another child died at birth.

Her father was elected to the Senate in 1934, serving until 1947. In 1940 he was appointed Minister without portfolio in his son-in-law's ministry, and later Minister for Aircraft Production.[1][2]
