This topic has become a bit neglected so I am going to start it off again (sorry to the person who answered the last question correctly)

What has this:

Got to do with this?

Please no cheating by Google or checking the image tags.

Maybe she played in the Omen II, which inspired Steve Harris to write The Number of The Beast

Well done Syl that's almost correct. It's The Omen part one just. The character died in that film so she wasn't in Omen II. That didn't last long.
 
Interestingly, which I found on the IMDB site, the actress (Lee Remick) also starred in the film 'A Severed Head', which is another link to the cover of NOTB.
 
Time to revive this once-proud topic!

Who are these three people, and what particular oddity to they hold in common?

On a first wild guess, I would suppose they were all three leaders of countries they were not native to.
 
Prime Ministers of Canada? [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

A. Hitler, Sir John A Macdonald, and the other guy I am guessing is Lafayette (because the Duke sleeps with a lifesized model of him).

I didn't want to know that.
 
I suppose the previous question counts as being answered. So here's a new one.

What do the people/countries depicted on these four pictures have in common:

[img src=\'http://www.indiainvites.com/India_files/India%20States2a.jpg\' border=\'0\' alt=\'user posted image\' /]


Please do not check the image tags. While they do not give the answer to the question, they give strong hints, and it is considered cheating if you check them.
 
Okay, let's kick this off by stating the obvious:


The first picture is Albert Einstein, famous for his theory of relativity.

The second is a physical map of France.

The third is of Prometheus, who in Greek mythology stole fire from the gods for mankind. The picture shows him tied to a rock where, as a punishment from Zeus, an eagle would eat his liver everyday before it grew back.

Finally, the fourth is a map of India, showing the different states/provinces.


As to what they have in common, I have no idea (yet).
 
I would say they are all from/are countries with islands.

It can also be about influencing people, Albert Einstein, Simone de Beauvoir, Homeros and Ghandi.

Third option is supression, Einstein was a Jew, France got suppresed by Napoleon and (I don't know what their names are in English so I will say just the few kings before him), Prometheus was suppressed by Zeus and India was supressed by Europe in the colonial ages.
