Pub Quiz - Lockdown 3. The A - Z of People....A

Here we go again. I really didn't want to be setting these, but Lockdown 3 was entirely inevitable the day Lockdown 2 ended. However, the past month has given me the time to dig out a series of A-Z Quizzes I set in my local (remember the local?) about 10 years back. So, for the next 4 weeks it will be the A-Z of people. All surnames tonight begin with 'A'.Tomorrow it will be 'B', then 'C' etc etc.

As per previous, no googling please and answers in the message body. Results will be revealed just after 9.00pm.

1) 'Stranger than Fiction' is the autobiography of which writer and politician?

2) Who was 'Satchmo'?

3) In the 1930's, Angelo Siciliano said 'I used to be a 7 stone weakling - look at me now'. By what name did he become famous?
