3 The film's first story consists of Billy Mack (played by Bill Nighy), an aging rock musician, and his manager as they promote his new Christmas single. What song does he remake during the film?
Answer: "Love is All Around" by The Troggs

The film opens with Billy Mack in the recording studio, creating his new single, a rip-off of The Troggs' hit song, with a version he calls "Christmas is All Around". The movie tracks Billy's progress with the single, appearing on radio interviews, television music shows, and elsewhere as he tries to promote it all the way to the No. 1 spot (past the single in the running by boy band, Blue, whose poster he defaces on live TV). Somehow, Billy always manages to make things difficult for his manager, but in the end the two of them come to the realization that their platonic love for one another is what gets them through it. While Billy and his manager have no clear connection with any of the other characters in the film, his song and TV appearances can be heard and seen in the background of the movie.

12 Who plays Carol, the woman Daniel meets at the school concert?
Answer: Claudia Schiffer

German supermodel/actress Claudia Schiffer plays a cameo role as Carol in 'Love Actually'. Ever since she hit the big time in modelling, as the new face of Chanel No. 5 perfume in the 1980s, the statuesque (5'11") blue-eyed blonde has been one of the world's most recognizable women and has achieved 'dreamgirl' status for millions of men around the world. Schiffer is married (as of 2007) to British film producer Matthew Vaughn and they live in England with their two children.

Prior to her appearance in 'Love Actually', Schiffer is mentioned twice: at the funeral for Joanna, Daniel's wife/Sam's mother, Daniel (played by Liam Neeson) tells the congregation that his late wife wanted him to bring Claudia Schiffer as his date to the funeral, and later in the movie, Daniel jokingly tells Sam that if and when Claudia Schiffer moves in, Sam will have to move out! And lo and behold, Claudia Schiffer plays Carol, the woman with whom we hope Daniel will find a second chance at happiness. Nice touch.
