6. At a roast honoring this singer with a reputation for elbow bending, Rickles said, "If you understand any of this, blink twice." The singer in question was the host of many roasts. Who was he?

Answer: Dean Martin

Martin was a mostly unsuccessful night club singer when he met Jerry Lewis in
Atlantic City in the late 40s. The rest, as they say, is history. After they split, Dean's career included movies and some well received recordings, including "That's Amore" and "Memories are made of This". He scored with his own TV variety show and "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" was a hit with the public. Dean passed away in 1995.

Very popular in Europe, his solo films included "The Geisha Boy" and "The Nutty Professor".

Answer: Milton Berle

Berle, who died in 2002, was a major sensation in early television with his "Texaco Star Theater", a variety show. He was Uncle Miltie to millions of fans, but it was a star that burnt out quickly, and by the 60s he was pretty much a comedy relic. He was also a song writer and later in his career he guest starred on many a situation comedy.
9. This actor was on the receiving end of this line - "If you were Moses, I was a Mau Mau fighter pilot". I think you can get this one with just that clue. Who was the celebrity in question?

Answer: Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston (1923-2008) starred in a long list of movies, among them a startling amount of historical and biblical epics, such as "Ben Hur", "El Cid" and "The Ten Commandments". His career lasted nearly 60 years. He is also remembered for his conservative political views and his support of the National Rifle Association.
10. Don Rickles said this: "Be yourself, Charlie, get up and kill someone." Who was this actor who made so many dark, very violent movies?

Answer: Charles Bronson

Charles Bronson was born into a Pennsylvania coal miner's family. He went to work in the mines at age 10, when his father died. He did a lot of TV work in the 1950s as a guest star, especially on western shows. In 1960, he made "The Magnificent Seven".

He made such movies as "The Dirty Dozen", then appeared in "Death Wish" and all its sequels. If not a major star, he was certainly a familiar one. Illness forced his retirement in the 90s, and he died in 2003.
