Well that would be Angela Maxine O'Brien who changed her name to Margaret O'Brien. She was cast in Journey for Margaret (1942). It was her instant stardom that led her to change her name. Must admit I'm stumped on the Australian aviator. Got close with an Australian Aviatrix?? Hoping it's a typo and you meant she or maybe Austrian...!

joxerthesunburntpirate wrote: sorry spud,didnt see that post lol no,he's not in that list.remember its the film you are after not the man himself. ps im still trying to imagine ollie reed as bond,for some reason i cant really imagine him as a good bond but then again i couldnt "get" daniel craig as one until i saw the film and i was pleasantly surprised lol edit like you i dont give an arse re posting the questions,im obviously being confused with someone with a conscience.if i had one of those i wouldnt have pirate in my name lol

limpy wrote: had all 50 done by saturday morning and as i dont actually enter the quiz i dont have a problem with posting a few of the easier ones here. note the fact that I personally havent given any of the answers and i dont until after the closing date. Not quite sure how you get the questions if you don't enter.

no.the lover appeared on a stage with glenda but was also helen mirren's husband in a film.he then went on to do a voice in a movie which won an oscar but it didnt win best film,his role in the movie was a minor one and its not a cartoon ie shrek or toy story. you've still got 3 weeks to find it but you will kick yourself when you know it,remember its the film you want,not the actor.

Spud wrote: Eureka!! I think I've got it.... *fingers crossed* The Return of the King Alan Howard and Glenda Jackson in Antony and Cleopatra. Alan Howard and Helen Mirren in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Alan Howard as the voice of the Ring.
