DQ.
Not Marie Curie.
Not … Condoleezza Rice?

Getting psychic, are we? Narrowing it down to the performing arts without even asking about the Arts in general first?

Correct on the first two. King Cameron is the present ruler.
(Hey, it saved a question.)
DQ: Died since 1960?
IQs:
- Were you the #1 recording artist of the 1st half of the 20th Century?
- Did you play Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies?
- Were you part of a trio that included Jimmy Durante?
This, this, this and this are posts - one of them in a game you hosted - where EH received an answer that was not the person he was thinking of, and said that he would rephrase the question. (There are plenty of other such posts.)
This and this are posts where I did the same thing. (Again, there are others.)
Here is one where Chockfull did.
Prof P has also done so, but he doesn’t use the convenient word rephrase, so his examples aren’t as easy to find.
And it would probably take a while, but I’m sure I could also find the post from the last time I denied you a DQ, for the same reason.
Not … Enrico Caruso?
Not Robbie Coltrane.

I agree with SCAdian. An IQ answer that is accurate, even if it is not the person you were expecting, does not earn you a DQ. You should rephrase, or drop it and ask a different question.
IQs:
According to Game Change, were you rumored to be having an affair with a Canadian MP after 2005?
Were you the first to fly across America, “crash by crash”?
Were you a noted later head of the Galactic Empire in Asimov’s Foundation books?

2 DQs in reserve
etv, don’t quit the game because of one question. Earning DQs isn’t really that vital. I’ve found that the letter master can miss all the IQs, and it doesn’t matter as long as the players haven’t narrowed down the mystery guest’s identity. Besides, you don’t want to get to the 20 question limit too soon anyway.
IQ1: Did your adopted daughter write about you in Mommie Dearest?
IQ2: Are you the first female solo artist inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and known for the hit “I Fall to Pieces”?
IQ3: Is your real name Émilie Chauchoin, and did you star in It Happened One Night?
Yes. No.
I think your first one is Joan Crawford, and I’m going to take a wild guess and say that your third is Claudette Colbert, but those answers don’t matter because …
Yes! I am Patsy Cline.
Way to go, KO!
Woo Hoo! Yes, Claudette Colbert is correct.
Let’s go to the next letter in the alphabet: D
IQs:
- Were you Prime Minister under Queen Victoria’s reign?
- Are you a time-traveling DC comics supervillain?
- Were you one of Jesus’s inner circle of 12 disciples?
IQ1) Did you inspire the famous bumper sticker “Vote For the Crook- It’s Important”?
IQ2) Were you both a teacher of rock star Lou Reed and the inspiration for Saul Bellow’s novel Humboldt’s Gift?
IQ3) Did you break the hearts of the Red Sox Nation in a special 1978 playoff game?
