    Welcome to the Easter Eggstravaganza. It's a bumper quiz with a bumper prize. Good luck!

    I was born in south-west England during the WW2 years
    I spent my early years living on an army base and attending a strict Catholic school run by nuns
    Margaret Thatcher and the Queen Mother were great fans of my theatre work
    I moved to New Zealand to help convalesce from a debilitating illness

    The son of Armenian immigrants, I was born in France during the mid 1920s
    I dropped out of school at the age of 9 so that I could perform professionally
    My big break came when I opened for Edith Piaf at the Moulin Rouge
    I have appeared in over 60 movies, the vast majority of them being foreign language

    I am a British politician, born during the mid 1940s
    My contemporaries at Cambridge included Michael Howard, Kenneth Clarke and Leon Brittan
    Before entering parliament, I worked as an investment banker and asset management consultant
    I controversially defended the former military dictator of Chile, General Augusto Pinochet

    I was born on the Adriatic coast of Italy during the late 18th century
    Despite being raised by a musical family, my first paid work came as a blacksmith
    I went on to create almost 40 operas; the first was produced in Venice during my late teens
    My love of gourmet food has inspired many popular dishes, some of which still carry my name

    Born during the 1300s, I was the son of Turkified *****ls
    My name is said to derive from injuries I suffered as a boy
    I saw myself as the natural heir to Genghis Khan's legacy
    My campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people, amounting to about 5% of the world's population at that time

    I'm not saying, but I do need them in the correct order.

    Exactly, you have 6 answers to 5 questions, plus you edited it! Stop cheating and play to the rules like I do!

    Congratulations, M. <applause> Your 'going to the beach' ruse created chaos and confusion and allowed you to sneak in while the other competitors dithered (or edited, in Ciaran's case). You win the special Easter prizes. Enjoy!

    Monaco produced the first post with the five correct names.

    Your first effort did not include Michael Crawford.

    To avoid any confusion, all entries must be produced in new posts - with no retrospective editing.

    I only edit because you said they have to be in the same post.

    Are you a mason?
