Very pleased with 3 correct answers 😀 @Mi-Amigo

Well done everyone 👏

I did not know that Thelma Nixon was nicknamed Pat .. fantastic those who knew that one. I was thinking maybe Ladybird Johnson. Didn't bother with supinator muscle .. not many would know that one and I didn't 😉 I don't care much for actors but I can't help liking Alec Guinness, special kind of actor. Dad's Army ..see the re-runs of that, good humour well written.

Well I knew Eric the world probably knew Eric🙃

Thanks for the quiz 🙂
