This is basically a modification I made to a question sent in by Alva.
Quoting Amith;
The connect is 'Rosie the Riveter'.
1. A real life 'Rosie the Riveter'
2. 'Rosie the Riveter' memorial at Marina Bay Park
3. J. Howard Miller's poster for Westinghouse, which was widely mistaken to represent 'Rosie the Riveter'
4. A screenshot of the game 'Bioshock'.
The game features a character named Rosie who is armed with a rivet gun.
5. Jane Withers
Quoting wiki - "In the 1960s, Hollywood actress Jane Withers gained fame as "Josephine the Plumber," a character in a long-running and popular series of television commercials for "Comet" cleansing powder that lasted into the 1970s. This character was based on the original "Rosie" character."
Pretty easy one, i guess... Cracked by Arun, Samaadhi, Sriram, Arbit, JJ, Aravind, Vignesh, Vishal, Vinayak, Peregrine, Amith, Kaballah, Kaushik and an anonymous quizzer.
Bonus to Arun, Samaadhi, Sriram, Arbit, Aravind, Vignesh, Vishal, Vinayak, amith, kaballah and Kaushik
Double Bonus to Vishal for pointing out that Norman Rockwell made a Rosie the Riveter cover for the Saturday Evening Post. :)

Rosie the riveter.
Wiki quote:
"Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the six million women who entered the workforce for the first time during World War II,[1][2] many of whom worked in the manufacturing plants that produced munitions and materiel. These women took the places of the male workers who were absent fighting in the Pacific and European theaters. The character is now considered a feminist icon in the US, and a herald of women's economic power to come."
pic one is A real-life "Rosie" working on the A-31 Vengeance bomber in Nashville, Tennessee.
Pic 2 is Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park
Pic 3 - "most iconically associated with Rosie is J. Howard Miller's famous poster for Westinghouse, entitled We Can Do It!, which was modeled on Michigan factory worker Geraldine Doyle in 1942." of course there is some other funda it was not meant to be her at aLL.
Pic 4 is Bioshock, a vid game which has a character called "Rosie" in the video game BioShock, armed with a rivet gun.
PIc 5 is Jane Withers "best known for being one of the most popular child film stars of the 1930s and early 1940s, as well as for her portrayal of "Josephine the Plumber" in a series of TV commercials for Comet cleanser in the 1960s and early 1970's", based on Rosie.

Rosie.
2 pics of Rosie the riveter, one of the bio-shock character, and one of Josephine the Plumber.
the first picture is a newly published image of an African American Rosie, from the US Library of Congress of a real life "Rosie the Riveter".
the second picture is Rosie the Riveter Memorial honoring American Women's Labor During WWII located in Richmond California.
the third picture is "We Can Do It!" poster by artist J. Howard Miller, this image is most iconically associated with Rosie and was poster for Westinghouse, , which was modeled on Michigan factory worker Geraldine Doyle in 1942.
the fourth picture is snap from BioShock a first-person shooter game,which includes a character called "Rosie" in the video game armed with a rivet gun, and a Rosie the Riveter action figurine by Accoutrements.
the fifth picture is Jane Withers(born April 12, 1926 in Atlanta, Georgia an American actress best known for being one of the most popular child film stars of the 1930s and early 1940s). In the 1960s, she gained fame as "Josephine the Plumber," a character in a long-running and popular series of television commercials for "Comet" cleansing powder that lasted into the 1970s. This character was based on the original "Rosie" character and thus owes much to exemplary women's efforts in the traditional male workplace.
