All these people have something in common with regard to an event that occured in 1945. Over the years they've all made claims about how it was them and have made great efforts to prove it.

What was the event and what did they claim?

We're all Confused

Owing to those annoying connecting-to-the-blog problems we've been experiencing over the past few days, the question numbering has indeed gone haywire.
So, please see 521, which has been posted only now.

Please bear with us!
Trying times!

We're all upset.

Question 524: Move Over Casanova

This famous philanderer and con artist is considered as the original master of disguise. Even though he was mostly occupied with women and scams, he occasionally lent his expertise to the police to aid them in their pursuit of his fellow tradesmen. He is credited with founding the worlds first criminal agency and as the father of criminology. He was renowned for for his uncanny knack for dressing up like a woman, a skill he originally developed to accompany his slightly older and unhappily married mistresses on family vacations when he was young. His account of his rather colorful life should be made required reading for all of us who frequents a quiz blogs. And needless to say he was French.

Name the guy

Question 523: It is ON!

These three pictures connect to a rather enterprising man.
Who?
Explain your answer.

Question 522: But some things never change

Why is this woman famous? And what is her name?

Question 521: Our Inspiration. Our life. Our Role Model

A sitter, you say?

Yes, I know.
Does it matter?

First occurrence of this iconic scene.

What?

Make out all you can.

Looks like a dino.

We've all been blocked from viewing the blog, so we can't change the scoreboard or can't make any changes to any posts, but we will be able to post.
Our ISP's are unfortunately acting up, but do bear with us.
There's even an article on blogger regarding it

Once again, how Nihar feels,lol

Our plight

Question 520: I have the force, or as its known in India, "Mere Paas MA He"

Back after unpopular demand, and the fact that we're going crazy trying to find my books, Nihar & I will be posting questions sporadically till March.
We'll be alternating a question a day, on every alternate day

Been sitting on this question for quite some time now, decided to post it whilst its still fresh on the net, if not the mind
lol

The video shows a boy __X__, dressed as Darth Vader trying to move objects using the force. The boy __X__, was cast in spite of having a congenital heart defect, but he essayed his roll brilliantly nonetheless.
The video went viral and was dubbed the biggest hit of the event __Z__, which most people watch for the ads.
The  ad is for a company __Y__, and was aired very recently at the major event __Z__?

X with his family and Doc

X

Question:
1) ID the young Vader
2) & just ID Z, coz Y seems rather obscure from this video )doesn't even make an appearance)
Also, brownie points for giving me any info on the title of the post
