[craigb]

They were both ham actors?

[simon c]

Several things:

They both wrote autobiographies.
They're both dead.
They were in the army together (Ustinov was a private and Niven an officer. When they worked together on a movie during World War II, to satisfy military sensibilities, Ustinov was listed as Niven's batman).

Take your pick!

Serving together in the army was the one I was thinking of.

Alaska, Hawaii, Alaska & Alaska

[simon c]

Alaska, Hawaii, Alaska & Alaska

Is the correct answer!

I thought is quite interesting that three of them were in Alaska and none were in the USA "mainland".

Your go, Grunt.

Simon & Garfunkel's first single was released under which artists names?

[echnidna]

Bugs'n'Daffy ??

[Grunt]

No

[Driver]

Tom and Jerry.

It's really amazing that two highly creative people could have been so unimaginative as to have come up with such a naff name. Maybe they were influenced by showbiz "experts".

[Grunt]

Quite correct and I agree.

Your turn.

[Driver]

OK
