With IQs, you can ask about anyone, even if they're clearly not the target person - no worries about sex until you get into DQ territory.

I don't know the comic actress or the future shipmate, but that doesn't matter because I'm Indiana Jones! Sorry to throw such an easy one out there, but my internet access will be shaky starting later today and I didn't want to leave you all hanging.

Good work, EH - take us away with a new one!

1. Herbie Hancock, who has since gone on to be fairly well known in his own right, got his start with Miles' second quintet (Miles Davis - trumpet, Wayne Shorter - tenor and soprano saxophone, Ron Carter - bass, Tony Williams - drums, Herbie Hancock - piano.) when he was very young - somewhere in his early twenties. He wasn't the youngest member of the group, either - Tony Williams, the drummer, was 16 or 17 if I recall correctly.

2. Hector, son of Priam and brother of Paris, slew Patroclus the dearest friend of Achilles. Achilles would then slay Hector and mutilate the body until the Gods themselves intervened.

3. Heitor Villa-Lobos is one Brazil's best known and best loved composers. He also had a tendency to exaggerate to the point of utter falsehood. While he was in Paris, he delighted in shocking dinner party guests with his wild tales of concert tours up the Amazon basin, tours that would have taken months today even with airplanes or helicopters, and he claimed that Picasso had painted the walls of his apartment. (He hadn't - Picasso, when asked to confirm the story, said he really didn't know who Villa-Lobos was.)

DQ1: Are you American?
