Like the late Chaircat Midge, I am not always right.

2. She was a cabinet minister and the years given are Maggie's years as PM so I'll guess she was the only female minister appointed during Thatcher's time as PM - I can't think of another.
3. Bill Drummond - just after he burnt £1 million on some Scottish island...
4. In Cold Blood - if you haven't seen the film Capote it is well worth a watch. Phillip Seymour Hoffman won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Capote writing this book.
5. I think there's one in the background of the Mona Lisa and it sounds Italian...

Were you thinking of Janet Brown, Eccs? Aka as Mrs Peter Butterworth IIRC.

Yes, OC, that'll be the lady I was thinking of. I didn't know she was married to Peter Butterworth.
