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.

G'day Sheba. According to my research he was the only Australian to win the Nobel prize for literature. If I added literature to the clues it would have been too easy.

Better luck next time.

Cheers.

Your on the ball Sheba over to you for a pic.

Henry Archibald Hertzberg Lawson (17 June 1867 2 September 1922)[1] was an Australian writer and bush poet. Along with his contemporary Banjo Paterson, Lawson is among the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial period and is often called Australia's "greatest short story writer".[2]

A vocal nationalist and republican, Lawson regularly contributed to The Bulletin, and many of his works helped popularise the Australian vernacular in fiction. He wrote prolifically into the 1890s, after which his output declined, in part due to struggles with alcoholism and mental illness. At times destitute, he spent periods in Darlinghurst Gaol and psychiatric institutions. After he died in 1922 following a cerebral haemorrhage, Lawson became the first Australian writer to be granted a state funeral.

He was the son of the poet, publisher and feminist Louisa Lawson.
