OK, after reading that latest hint I'll take a swing at this.
They all had a twin. I suspect that those whose twin we've never heard of probably died whilst very young or were possibly still born.I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

... Is the right answer!
In fact they all had a twin who died in infancy, or was stillborn.
In the case of David Jason (British star of TV series 'Only Fools and Horses', 'A Touch of Frost' and 'The Darling Buds of May' amongst others - not sure how many, if any, of these reached Australia!), he chose a stage name in honour of his stillborn twin. His real name is David White and his twin was named Jason posthumously.
As I said before - I knew about Elvis' stillborn twin before. This question turned up in a pub quiz, and nobody got the correct answer!
'Nuff said - it is now Duckman's turn to set a conundrum for us!

OK here goes.
Here is the question:
How do you get 4 triangles out of 6 equal length matchsticks without breaking, overlapping or incomplete shapes (ie, pieces jutting out)?
Hint: feel free to post photos if you have the necessary photographic equipment rather than try to explain it in words. We have the technology, why not use it?I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

Not sure whether I really need a picture, but I'm pretty sure the answer is an equilateral (4 sided) pyramid.
... Sorry - I missed duckman's answer to the black, white, red thing - but I was sure that Newcastle vs Liverpool was not the answer!
