Smiley: That individual may not be terribly well known. (I don't recognise the name even after having found the answer on wikipedia!) You may have to claim that round for 'the house' and reveal the answer yourself :-)

In the meantime, I offer the following for those not up on their horror films :-)

I am an inventor of some renown and a connoisseur of all manner of cultured milk products. The adventures of my companion and I have entertained people around the world. I have a miserable lovelife.

smiley: Now if it had been david frye. "man in oversized suits". :-)

mar_ja: was 'peta' a guess at my inventor? Sorry :-)

Another clue might be to say that there is a STRONG similarity between my inventor and my other submission of 'Adam' yesterday. It is reaching, but there is a connection. One could use the saying, "cut from the same cloth" and be fairly close to 'spot-on'... :-)

"us" might just be "me". Don't know how many are interested...

Answer: Wallace of Wallace and Gromit fame.

"cultured milk products" = cheese
"cut from same cloth" = clay

Easy when one knows the answer.
Will try another later :-)
Cheers!

I was the daughter of a notorious holy man
My first two husbands were murdered by my ambitious family
I was quite adept at the art of poisoning
