Who am I?

I'm not pretending, I'm genuinely thrilled that out of all the quizzes there have been you have claimed one of the crowns

 

I'm actually thinking about going for beer now, I seem to be doing it every day these days though, usually earlier than this.

 

...aye, the hardest one. The one you failed at. Loser.

 

****er

 

Stick around, G. There's a new Five-Up Linkster on its way.

 

Man speaks the truth

^^^^never won the quiz. Was close a couple of times but Gambol and Mick pipped him(I obviously wasn't participating those times, I was on a 12 day holiday)

 

ETA?

 

Got to be in to win m8.

 

One hour.

 

What's a Basque separatist group got to do with it? Loser.

 

So, after everybody has left work and gone home? Loser.

 

I've had to shorten the quiz to the usual three-up linkster. Soz. I'll have time to do one more quiz tomorrow, though.

With royal ancestry, I was born in southeast England during the early 1940s
As a child, I suffered from a severe stammer and dyslexia; I attended four private schools and was expelled from all of them
During my career, I received four BAFTA nominations and one Oscar nomination; I appeared in films with the likes of Laurence Olivier and Vanessa Redgrave
Having appeared in an episode of Poirot, it is somewhat ironic that I was caught up in a real life murder mystery

With Irish ancestry, I was born in the northeast of England during the late 1800s
I served with two battalions during WW1; after the war I worked at the family hotel, and found time to take part in amateur theatricals
I won an Oscar and two further nominations for the leading role category; I appeared in films with the likes of Boris Karloff and Gary Cooper, and am widely considered as the finest actor of my generation
I was married for over 30 years, yet my bisexuality was widely known; I never had children

One of six siblings, I was born in the USA during the first decade of the 20th century
As a child, I developed a passion for golf and was soon taking part in state championships; I dropped out of school after discovering my brother’s suicide
I am an Academy Award record holder; I’m well known for an alliance with one particular actor during the 40s; my acting style has often been criticised for mirroring my real life persona
After my death, the lights of Broadway were dimmed and my belongings were auctioned at Sotheby’s; a street in New York is named in my honour
