Not Mr Jinx (“I hate you meeces to pieces!”), JarJar Binks or Jimmy Olsen.
IQ:
Were you a character featured in The Sound of Music?
Don’t remember any ‘J’ except Johanna, and I think she was given a different name in the movie anyway, so DQ.
IQs:
- Were you the first African-American actress to star in a major motion picture?
- Did the movie version of your Disney character outlive his literary counterpart?
- Are you a current singer who has crossed over from pop music to country, while being a judge on a reality TV series?
Three DQs.
That’s Josephine Baker (Zouzou, 1934); Jiminy Cricket (the cricket in the original story gets stomped by Pinocchio) and Jewel.
Not that that helps me think of who this might be.
D’oh! Never mind. I was thinking of Liesl. Sorry - brainfart.
Still stumped. Don’t even know of a DQ to suggest.
Where did Spoons and etv disappear to?
They’re checking out cemeteries in Austria, where else?
I had an appointment today. Even though I was near an Apple store, didn’t take advantage. 
Ah, good, now where is Spoons? Don’t tell me there is no Spoons!

Still stumped. Shall we throw in the towel?
Let me see. Yes, I do know where my towel is. I’m prepared to throw it in.
I guess I can start a new one tomorrow evening if nobody comes up with anything else. I think there are still a couple of DQs running around loose - somebody want to ask one and see if it helps for a final guess?
Might as well:
DQs
- A dancer?
- Married to somebody famous?
- A model?

Waving white flag!
Ugh. Likewise.
Prof P mentioned writers in post 173, but no one ever got around to asking if I were one. Would it have helped if I had said yes?
At any rate, I am
Austrian* writer Joy Adamson.
- Troppau, where she was born, is now in the Czech Republic, but in 1910 it was part of the Austrian Empire and her family were ethnic Germans, not Czechs.
