23.? Shelley ... but that is 7 letters.
59 comes originally from 'White Christmas', with Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen portraying The Haynes Sisters:

Question Author
everyone seems to give the same answers that i found to 14, 23, 33 & 62 but the letter count doesnt match the answers, perhaps i need to get in touch with quiz setter to confirm?
captain2 there are no letter counts for 90
10 Yvonne Stuart Hargreaves ?....HI de HI
90. Some reference to Dan Corbett .. one-time BBC weather man?
I don't think there is much doubt that the setter has made a few mistakes with the letter count. Can anyone help with 80 "he's a big strong boy "
