Puzzle #12 (special bonus guest star - and a very outdated theme)

Meta Prompt
As mentioned, this was constructed as a tribute to another famous puzzle way before certain events so the theme doesn't really work, but hope you'll still have fun with it. There's a cameo appearance by someone too, see if you can find them as a meta bonus!
