The answer is Barbara Stanwick. Heres a easy one.
What year was the Ten Commandments released, we all know Charlton Heston played Moses, who played Pharaoh Sethi ?
Cedric Hardwicke…………………… :nana: :nana: :nana:
Sir Cedric Hardwicke, one of the great character actors in the first decades of the talking picture, was born in Lye, England on February 19, 1893. Hardwicke attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and made his stage debut in 1912. His career was interrupted by military service in World War I, but he returned to the stage in 1922 with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, distinguishing himself as Caesar in George Bernard Shaw ‘s “Caesar and Cleopatra”, which was his ticket to the London stage. For his distinguished work on the stage and in films, he was knighted by King George V in 1934, a time when very few actors received such an honor.
Hardwicke first performed on the American stage in 1936 and emigrated to the United States permanently after spending the 1948 season with the Old Vic. Hardwicke’s success on stage and in films and television was abetted by his resonant voice and aristocratic bearing. Among the major films he appeared in were Miserables, Les (1935) , Stanley and Livingstone (1939) , The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) , Suspicion (1941) , _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court_ , and The Ten Commandments (1956) .
His last film was The Pumpkin Eater (1964) in 1964. Cedric Hardwicke died on August 6, 1964 in New York City, New York.

Okay sir, here we go.
Who invented the world`s first `steam turbine ship,` what was the ship`s 1st name, and what name was it changed to and the year is was launched 🙂
I think I maybe did ask a wee bit much, didn`t I.
OK, I`ll cut it down to size:
Charles Algernon Parsons was born in London in June 1854. He seems to have been a natural engineer, and studied mathematics and mechanics at Cambridge. Graduating in 1877 with a first class honours degree he joined the firm of W.G. Armstrong & Co., engineers and shipbuilders on the Tyne. He was responsible for several inventions including a steam turbine engine for driving an electrical dynamo. The success of this engine convinced him that the theoretical advantages of the steam turbine (i.e., higher thermal efficiency and reliability) could be captured in practice, and he set up a company C.A. Parsons & Co., to exploit these engines and apply them to ship propulsion.
Charles Parsons & TurbiniaParsons designed Turbinia largely by himself, although he had not been trained as a naval architect. He decided on a very long, narrow boat which he first called the Experimental Launch, later Turbinia.
So all I want now is the year it was officially launched 😀
