Well, all right!

Cylinder bore = BOR
Reese Witherspoon = IS
Car = KAR
Lorna Luft = LOFFT
T. Boone Pickens = MINUS T

Thanks to @Charlemagne1333 for identifying the people. I didn’t know their names (said he sheepishly!)

A bit before your time Doug, but I'm sure he would have set your Mum's heart aflutter as a young girl.

He was Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filiberto Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella.

Or as you Mum may have known him, Rudolf Valentino.

No wonder he used a stage name, the old silent movie would have been over before the titles finished!

Edit: Your Mum may have been a generation or two too late, maybe your Grandmother or Great Grandmother?

I was hoping that was gonna take a little longer to solve!
But then again, I’m not surprised.

Well done.

Am I dumb, or what? Please tell me what the answer is. The images I see tell me nothing.

I might just have answered my own question. Rudyard Kipling, the Jungle Book?

Yes @Canuck

Rudd
Yard of ale
Kip
Ling

That’s the bare necessities. The rest is a little obvious.

Have a go at this one.
Same as before. Author, and a classic novel.
