Who am I?
Jun 29th, 2014 at 2:51pm
 
Here's a party game where you get to keep your clothes on.

Just see if you can discover who this person is. Either her stage name or her real name will do.

I was a popular radio comedienne from the early 1930s to the early 1950s in the US, although I was not as famous as my husband. Before getting into show business, I worked in a department store and occasionally when I fluffed my lines, my husband would joke that there was still a job going at "May's".
I had to give up show business after all that time because - and this is true - I developed acute stage fright.

Served as a Sergeant in WWII in the Sydney area and now lives in Bermuda.  Is known for his wildlife photography but that is not what he became famous for in Australia in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.  Who is he?

You're right Rosie.

Who am I.

I was a European statesman & diplomat. In 1913 I presented a paper to a conference in Paris in which I predicted the way WWI was likely to start, that the Russian empire would be defeated and that this would be followed by the defeat of the Central European empires by the western powers. Obviously nobody listened.
About 150 years earlier, those same defeated powers had divided my country between them.

not enough information ..... lots of European statesmen and diplomats and to go through them all will take forever. The only person I know off that predicted WWI was Otto Van Bismark but he was dead long before 1913, so it couldn't have been him.

I was born in the 1890s, having never completed anything more than elementary education, I worked as factory worker before joining the army.

I was involved in internal conflicts, after which I pursued a career in politics where I worked my way up through the ranks.

At the height of my career, I was was head of an organisation responsible for opposing threats to state, a task I performed with zeal and resolute action.

After my tasks was complete I became a liability, lost power, was arrested, tried  and was executed by the state.

I was born about 2500 years ago (approx) and known for my bravery.

One day I went out from my tribe to kill the king of another tribe, but killed his secretary by mistake. (Well, they were dressed somewhat alike.)

On being taken captive by the security detachment surrounding the monarch, I committed an act of self-harm and was sent back, post haste, to my own people.

For my action, I was granted fertile farming land on the banks of the river that runs through the Capital city of my country.

Scholars argue, even unto your day, whether I actually existed, or was just a propaganda exercise initiated by the government of my nation.

That roman bloke who stuck his hand in the fire until it burned off, to show Romans were tough, and therefore a waste of time torturing them.
Somebody the left handed, he was called, or by his mates, stumpy.

Close enough....

Gaius Mucius Scaevola.

During the siege, a young Roman of noble birth, Gaius Mucius, enters the enemy camp and tries to assassinate king Porsenna. However, instead of killing him, he kills one of his scribes. When he is brought before Porsenna, the man shows his contempt for torture and pain by voluntarily placing his right hand in a fire. Impressed by this steadfastness, Porsenna releases him, and Mucius answers to this gentle act by informing the king that there are no less than 300 men in Rome who have sworn to kill Porsenna. After his return to the city, Mucius is surnamed Scaevola ("left hand") and the Senate rewards him with a grant of land west of the river, the Mucia Prata, "Mucian Meadows".

In the light of mozzaok's absence, without leave it should be noted, I will undertake to refresh the quiz.

My descendants over many generations are numbered among many of the noble & royal families of England.
Although a commoner myself, I later became married to perhaps the most powerful man of his time.

John of Gaunt: Second Husband.      

Speech:
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Looks like you & me froggie, nobody else seems interested.

I started my professional career at the age of 7 and eventually became the highest paid singer/comedienne/actress in Britain.
Although I was still recovering from cancer surgery, I continued to work entertaining the troops and raising money right through the war.
When I married an Italian movie director living in the US, the British govt treated me as an enemy alien and my popularity suffered.

Just see if you can discover who this person is. Either her stage name or her real name will do.

I was a popular radio comedienne from the early 1930s to the early 1950s in the US, although I was not as famous as my husband. Before getting into show business, I worked in a department store and occasionally when I fluffed my lines, my husband would joke that there was still a job going at "May's".
I had to give up show business after all that time because - and this is true - I developed acute stage fright.

froggie, spot on with Gracie Fields. Yep, first they wouldn't renew her passport when she went to Capri to recuperate, then when she married Monty Bank the establishment types in Whitehall heaped all kinds of rubbish on her. There's a beautiful little movie called "Gracie" starring Jane Horrocks, best known as the clownish secretary in Absolutely Fabulous.

Herbert, already established as Mary Livingstone, the wife of Jack Benny. I don't know if any of the others you mentioned meet the same clues.

I was born in July, 1850.
I enlisted in the army in Dec, 1861. I kid you not.
My baptism of fire was in April, 1862.
My second foray, at the front, was not one of our finer moments.
Many of our men threw away their kit, including weapons.
At a Unit Muster, it was noted that I was the only soldier able to fully perform his duties as I had retained my equipment.
This was seen by those higher up as a sign of bravery, and shortly after I was  awarded the Medal of Honour.

My first published work appeared in 1909, but that was just in a school magazine. The first real success with a novel was in 1920. My most famous work has been made into a movie 5 times.
I spent a great deal of the 1920s in Paris. In the 1930s I lived in Hollywood writing mainly short stories and working for MGM as a screen writer.
I had a battle with alcoholism for most of my life.

Two men claim to be my father; one Australian, one American.

I am probably the most recignised character in my genre.
I enjoyed success and popularity in film and print in the 1920s.

My popularity faded with the arrival of sound in the movie theatres.
Although I made the transition from Silent to Talkies, by 1932 I was not making any progress and was retired.

I made a resurgance, on American TV, in 1953 and also have two Feature Films to my credit from this period.

Today, I am featured on a variety of merchandise from clothing to toys.

While all things are not necessarily black and white, I am....
I also have a great smile!

Congrats....

Your go, old son.....

Seeing we're doing fictional characters. . .

I am a country attorney of sorts. I have 5 daughters, the eldest 2 of whom have married well, but one of the younger ones ran away with a soldier.
My main problem though is an extremely silly wife, who forces me to retreat to my study most of the time.

Spot on AG. Good to see a new player. Your go, but make it easier by indicating if it's a real or fictional person.

Believe Mr Darcy had the hots for Elizabeth (Lizzy).
Don't think he had 5 daughters, though....

Huh

BTW....
Who's trying to say that Felix is fictional.
Trying to shatter all my early years. hey???

Moving to Stage 3 in difficulty.

I died in 1951.
I am remembered now for my music but once they adored me for something else.
They got it wrong in Gosford Park.
