9. Condoleezza Rice?

P.S. The picture quizzes are great nordmann. Thanks!

They are indeed but since I have recently been shown how to cheat, require that I employ a considerable amount of self control. I promise I will try to do them honestly though, even if it means I get none of them right.

Is 17 Jackie Kennedy Onassis?

8 Sandra Bullock
11 Allan Davis
19 paul mccartney
20 Meryl Streep

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

All correct apart from 19, normanhurst. That ain't Sir Macca.

15. Minette - Princess Henrietta Anne, daughter of Charles I.

1. Looks a lot like Tennessee Williams, but I don't think it is.

The musical clues are terribly confusing.

Is 7 Micky Donlenz?

I agree Temp, the music clues are confusing.

Or is 15. Minette's brother, little Jamie, Duke of York?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Temp, yes indeed - as painted by Van Dyck when still a wee toddler.

Dolenz and Tennessee W are not correct.

The audio clues can always be turned off again if you find them confusing - I even gave you all little knobs to do it Cheers

Is 19 JFK? - and 7 - Mick Jagger?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Neither of them, P.

Censura Posts : 1850 Join date : 2012-05-12

4. Warren Beatty

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Yes, Vizzer - the alleged subject of Carly's song pictured in his last year of high school.

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

13 - Must be George Bush. One song that really helped!

In the same vein, could 14 be a wee Tony Blair?

No. 12 would be Robert Mugabe I think.

EDIT :

No. 16 .... a wild guess but is it Oliver Stone?

Your musical clues are as difficult to decypher as the pictures themselves!

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Bush and Mugabe are right, well done!

No 18 Tina Turner?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Pity, but not Tina T, MadNan. That would have been two Bullocks in the quiz and we won't abide that kind of thing round here, don't you know!

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

16 - George Harrison.
19 - the Kerry connection's getting to me. It's not Ms Katona so is it John Kerry?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Very good on both! The much-missed GH and nearly man John Kerry, current Foreign Secretary, US style.

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

Precisely! Is 7 young Master Firth?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

It is little Colin, yes - and a US high school photo at that! His father was a history teacher who swapped with another history teacher for a year in a US/UK exchange deal back in the 70s and the family went with him. The photo was taken during this period while young Firth practiced forgetting the King's English.

Never have got 6 without the clue, it's Simon Cowell.

Number 1, Saddam Hussein?

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

Try number 10 as Barnes Wallace

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

Number 18; Pele

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

6 is Simon Cowell alright - rehearsing at a tender age his future role as Captain Black introducing the Mysterons to the human race in the guise of brain-dead talent show contestants who slowly but surely are now taking over the world.

The rest are wrong, I'm afraid, Trike.

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

Number 18; George Best, obvious hearing the soundtrack.

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Yes - at two years of age and already kicking a ball.

(Another one of my "confusing" audio clues - which actually names the lad in the photograph) Smile

Censura Posts : 1850 Join date : 2012-05-12

10. Winston Churchill?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Not Winnie, no. The secret to cracking the audio clue is to think phonetically.

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

The song for Number 5 is by The Dead Kennedys, is it a young Lee Harvey Oswald?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Not the patsy, no.

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

Managed to work out Number 2, [after looking for Henrys instead of Hermans] it's Hermann Goering.

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

The man with the unilateral cryptorchid scrotum indeed (according to the well known song). This was him as the 14 year old boarding school dropout who dreamed of being a Boer so he could fight the British. Strange chap ...

The audio clue seems to be the theme tune to Wallace and Gromit. But 'Whiskey Golf' makes no sense at all. So maybe Wallace is really Wallis as in Wallis Simpson. So is #10 King Edward VIII of Great Britain?

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

That's what it is! Thanks Viz, it was driving me crazy.

Phonetically, to me it's da dada da dada da da so is it some little baby Dadaist?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Yes, it's little Eddie Windsor. Well done!

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

14 - It's little Dickon Godthrottler
Must confess, found him while looking for someone else.

Censura Posts : 2602 Join date : 2011-12-27

Richard Dawkins of course.

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Yes - young Richard before the gods abandoned him (as the Greeks would have said).

So - only 1, 3 and 5 to go ...

No. 1 ... with 'Talking Heads', I think might be Walt Disney, no?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

Not Wally, no.

Not Walt! Well it certainly looks quite like him. Ok then, since all babies look the same I'm going by just the music clue: "Lets face the music and dance"

No. 3 ... is it Rudolf Nureyev?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

This baby had troubles ahead indeed - including a spouse who died young and who was only then revealed to have emptied their bank account to the tune of 20 million dollars, leaving this baby bankrupt and hugely in debt. Extremely hard work and a very protracted law suit restored the money eventually, allowing the baby to finally retire.

Censura Posts : 1850 Join date : 2012-05-12

Is #1 a young Alfred Hitchcock?

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

yes - it's Hitch himself!

Hitchcock - Psycho .... doh! of course!
Obvious once you know ... though I still reckon he could pass for a young Disney.

Censura Posts : 4377 Join date : 2012-01-05

Number 5, found an almost exact match for the picture, it's a young Robert Kennedy.

Nobiles Barbariæ Posts : 7223 Join date : 2011-12-25

That's the Dead Kennedy alright!

Right - just the little baby left so ...

Censura Posts : 1850 Join date : 2012-05-12

Number 3 is really hard.

It's not Irving Berlin nor is it Doris Day. And $20 million dollars is a lot of money even today. So it's probably one of the super-rich.

Doris Day appeared in films with Cary Grant who was briefly married to Barbara Hutton who was super-rich. But she famously squandered her own inheritance and didn't get it back. So that line of enquiry seems to be a cul-de-sac. Arrgh.

Okay - is it Geraldine Rockefeller?
