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]

There were so many beautiful actresses from the 40's but I don't know all their names. Is she Rita Hayworth?

Sure is Sandy.  Who do you have for us ?

 

Rita Hayworth was an American actress and dancer. She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars, appearing in 61 films over 37 years. The press coined the term "The Love Goddess" to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s. She was the top pin-up girl for GIs during World War II.

There is an interesting story behind Stieg Larsson he was an expert on Neo Nazism and even was a consultant to the British. As a result he didn't marry his partner because of publishing wedding banns would anounce where he lived, they kept a low profile for fear of Neonazis seeking them out. Stieg Larsson died of a heart attack and his defacto partner didn't inherit anything from his estate because of the laws of Sweden only a wife can inherit so all his estate went to his father and brother. It is rumored that there is a fourth novel half completed on his laptop that his defacto partner has but the rumor is that she is keeping quiet about it for fear of having to give it up. I enjoyed his novels including one written by a Ghost writer

Sorry Sandy. Not him. He was born in London to Australian parents. They moved back to Aust when he was 6 mnths old. He won a prestigious award, the only Australian to do so. That should help heaps.
Cheers.
