A big fan of Elvis, Kurt Russell actually appeared with "The King" (also an uncredited role) in "It Happened at the World's Fair"(1963) and then played him in John Carpenter's made for TV movie "Elvis"(1979). In "Forrest Gump", Elvis is a guest at Forrest's mother's bed and breakfast establishment.

Spacek was an Academy Award winner for "Coal Miner's Daughter"(1980).

Answer: Samuel L. Jackson

The surprise post-credits appearance of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury was a key pointer to the next set of superhero movies Marvel had in store in the Avengers universe. Samuel L. Jackson was one of the most successful movie stars of his day - appearing in some of the biggest franchises, as well as working with Tarantino and Spike Lee.

Answer: Glenda Jackson

Ken Russell's adaptation of Sandy Wilson's 1953 pastiche musical "The Boy Friend" starred Twiggy, Christopher Gable and Tommy Tune. This uncredited appearance was between Jackson's first Academy Award for "Women in Love"(1969) and second for "A Touch of Class"(1973). She went on to become a UK Member of Parliament for over twenty years.

Answer: Cate Blanchett

Blanchett is almost unrecognisable, as she is wearing a mask for her short performance in Edgar Wright's UK Police comedy "Hot Fuzz". Simon Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, an over-achieving super cop from the Metropolitan Police, who is transferred to a sleepy village that is hiding a sinister secret. Blanchett had been a fan of Wright and Pegg's "Shaun of the Dead"(2004) and was happy to be in on the joke of a dramatic scene of a romantic breakup played by an Oscar winner whose face couldn't be seen.

Other uncredited cameos in the movie include Peter Jackson and Steve Coogan.

Answer: Sean Connery

Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman star in this retelling of the Robin Hood story for the 1990s. Connery appears as Richard I towards the (happy) end of the movie. Connery had himself played the role of Robin Hood opposite Audrey Hepburn in "Robin and Marian"(1976).
