Help with stupidly hard quiz

Each year my work does a stupidly hard quiz. There are many stages and we get a month to try and do it.

Anyone help me with this stage? there are 21 pictures of celebrities and I've managed to work out who they all are but now I'm stuck on working out the password to the next stage. Each picture has a coloured Roman numeral in it so I assume I have to use those to work out the answer...

So if I'm right, we could be looking for actors and actresses?

The letter Of the diamond might be the initial of their surname based on those two then, which might make it easier?

MarshmallowsOnToast · 07/12/2020 08:53

So the letter of each puzzle is the first letter of the surname?

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/12/2020 08:55

I'm trying to think of actors with unusual surname initials to crack some of the others. Grin

I can't find a person for Z. Doesn't seem to be Renée Zellweger or Catherine Zeta Jones.
