That’ll be another :smack: then…

Yes I am an actress, or at least I’d like to think I am.

I am not Heidi Klum or Anne Hathaway.

After ruling your country for decades and ushering in an age of peace and prosperity did your successor attempt to erase your name and image from history?

Did you have one freckle for every state in the US?

Are you an obnoxious Japanese rodent?

Wasn’t she a model first? Nevermind…

Well then: have you released an album, starred in a few movies, have your own perfume and starred in a private sex-tape that wasn’t supposed to be released to the public?

I am also not Paris Hilton (thank og)

Liz Hurley was a model, but was by no means even remotely famous until her relationship with Hugh Grant and “that dress”.

You are not **Howdy Doody**.

You are not **Hamtaro**.

(@Worm : the character was Sadie Hawkins, of Naturally Sadie)

Are you the prince of a city no one is really sure existed or not ?  
Are you one of the oldest characters associated with Arthurian legend ?  
Do you have a hat with wings on ?  
Do you own a handgun that could blow my head clean off ?  
Did you found a motorcycle company ?

Ok, Kobals questions:

No idea, take a DQ  
I am not Hengist  
I am not Hermes  
I am not Harry Callahan  
I am not William Harley

Worm:

Hmm… no H in Laura Bush (except at the end) so I’m drawing a blank. Take a DQ.

So you’re not Hector of Troy, uh ? DQ : Are you alive ?

IQs :  
Did you affirm your identity as your last words, before committing suicide ?  
Are you an idealist philosopher ?  
Are you the head honcho in Tomaynia ?  
Are you a created man with blond hair and a tan ?  
Did you portray a WW2 German sniper ?

I am alive

Given that I am alive, I didn’t do that. However, I don’t know who did…  
I am not Hegel  
I am not Adenoid Hynkel 😃  
I am not Rocky Horror (?)  
I am not Ed Harris

You’re not Heinrich Himmler, then. Good for you 🙂 DQ : are you European ?

Did you play a vampire stripper with a snake ?  
Are you a pop singer with an eyebrow-raising name ?  
Did you fund a fantastic zoo which didn’t turn out quite the way you planned ?  
Does your son and his accomplice rape your work based on your notes, and should by all rights be shot until dead, dead, dead ?  
Did you claim the English throne, set out to take it by force but die with an arrow in the throat ?

Darn, I was thinking Hess. For some reason after that Himmler still didn’t occur to me.

I am indeed European

I am not Salma Hayek (I think you’ll find WormTheRed is ;)) or Harald Hardrada, but the other 3 earn you DQs.

Only problem is, I’m about to leave and I’ll be on the road for the next 10 hours or so, so I’ll make it easy for you all so you can start a new game. I am most famous for causing car accidents in my underwear.

Are you an Oscar-winning actress who among other things has driven off a cliff with her bff?
