Today's question is slightly different. This being a Friday, this question will stay up for a couple of days and I have tried to make it a bit heavier than the usual questions. The five visuals have a connect but each visual is interesting enough to make a question by itself. So, identify each and connect.Update 1: The five images form an exhaustive connect. More hints tomorrow night depending upon the response.
Update 2: Many identified the visuals but no correct connects so far. Almost all went with Gold as the connect but that isn't what I had in mind. More hints: The relevant portion of the images are as follows - the location(loosely speaking) of the event, the main object in the myth, what the woman is most famous for, the nickname of the man and the element featured prominently.
Answer: The visuals are 1) the US team that won the miracle at Lake Placid lighting the Olympic torch for the 2002 Salt Lake City winter Olympics, 2) a painting of the Sword of Damocles story, 3) Diablo Cody who won the Oscar for Juno, 4) Jill Masterson in an iconic scene from Goldfinger where she dies of skin asphyxiation from being completely covered in Gold and 5) Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha. The images point to Utah, Sword, Juno, Gold and Omaha - the code name for the beaches in the Normandy landings on D-day. Rajeev, Matti Tapaninen, Ajinkya, Raghu, Iam and Rajesh got the complete connect after the hints while Krithi and Pavan identified all the visuals correctly. Well done all.

Connect: Gold :-p
Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics - Gold medal
Midas? - Touch gold
Diablo Cody - Oscar : Gold
Warren Buffet - helped out Goldman Sachs
Jill Masterson- from Goldfinger
Connection is gold.
-US Miracle on Ice gold medal-team in Lake Placid.
-Movie is Goldfinger.
-Oscar statue is covered with gold.
-Damocles on a golden couch and he was dined and wined with golden plates and cups in tyrant Dionysius Syracuse palace.
- Well, the last person is not familiar to me, but I guess - according to my weird finnish logic - he is a banker from Goldman Sachs or he is working in US Federal Bullion Depository in Fort Knox or his name contains word Gold. At least I'm trying!!!!

No idea on the connect yet :(
Here is my attempt for brownie points (in case no one else gives a better answer)
All seem connected to Olympics, in a kind of mysterious way.
1. Goldfinger - Apolo Ohno
2. The writer of Juno & Olympic flame started by some Greek hotties honoring Hera / Juno
3. Olympic cauldron Utah
4. Sword of Damocles and 5. 'The other guy' are somehow connected mysteriously.
The fact that I am exhausted trying to come up with something more convincing makes it an exhaustive connect.
US 1980 gold medal hockey team at salt lake + golden damocles sword + gold plated oscar statue + gold finger scene with woman killed by gold paint
Warren Buffett I am not able to connect.
The connect being GOLD?
nice qn.
normandy landings
OMAHA, UTAH, GOLD, SWORD and JUNO landing beaches in Normandy 1944
- Salt Lake City olympics were held in UTAH
- Damocles SWORD
- GOLDfinger
- Oscar for Diablo Cody from movie JUNO
- The person is Warren Buffet, "Oracle of OMAHA".
The normandy beaches:
Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, Omaha
Damn, that was sneaky. :-)
D-day Normandy landings: Utah, Sword, Juno, Omaha, and Gold.
Okay. The choice of Olympic oriented pictures and the eh .. Bond pic threw me off-track.
With the equally revealing updated clues the answer is no more a mystery: Omaha beaches (Utah / Sword / Juno / Gold / Omaha)
Warren Buffett
Sectors of Normandy landings: Utah, Sword, Juno, Omaha and Gold.
