Cryptic Clues for Famous People

by **JuliusHMarx** Sat 31 Mar 2012, 9:44 pm

First person to get the confirmed correct answer gets to post the next clue. No need to give the number of characters in the name, but the clue must be for the first and last name (although variants of first name are allowed e.g. Andy or Andrew) and also state the profession e.g. movie star, singer etc

E.g. Delivered without Jay, a robot, without Cy (Tennis Player)
= Bjorn Borg.

An easy clue to start -
Quick, Silver is after Krueger (singer)

Don't know, but the White is correct when it is in relation to Barry.

So the surname is correct? Maybe first name is Alice?

The surname is correct in relation to Barry, but that is only a clue, nothing to do with the actress herself

by Thomond Mon 09 Apr 2012, 1:32 pm

Well I'm lost so.

by **Biltong** Mon 09 Apr 2012, 1:32 pm

Ally is her character name, Barry White is the clue
