It occurred to me this morning that this might be a GoT reference, but I’ve never watched the show, and while my sister-in-law gave me the first two books for Xmas, I haven’t read them yet.
Not Admiral Jellicoe or Thomas Jefferson.
DQ for Star Trek.
I think the treaty refers to John Jay.
Correct as to Adm. Jellicoe. The ST question is Capt. Jellico (slightly different spelling - I always wondered if he was a descendent of the British officer).
Yes, but it’s customary to allow the person who posed the IQ to provide the answer.
DQs:
Actress?
French?
Two DQs still reserved.
IQs:
Were you Benedict Arnold’s handler?
Was this his nom de guerre?
Did your campaign insist, on a button, that a vote for you was a vote for you?
DQ
- Singer?
(Still saving one DQ)
IQs:
- Were you the wife of famous fictional transcontinental royalty?
- Are you the protagonist of Currer Bell’s novel?
- Are you the best known female detective in mystery literature?
Not Major Andre.
DQs for the other two.
Not Jane Marple.
DQs for the other two.

Let me see, Elendil’s Heir has 2 DQs left, I’ve got 3 DQ’s and we are at 16 questions. Hmmm…
Oh, by the way, Jane Porter Greystoke (wife of Tarzan) and Jane Eyre (Currer Bell’s a pseudonym).
think think think think think
“Royalty”? He’s a mere viscount…
King of the Apes!
Major Andre, yes, but what was the “J” in his name?
Holding back the other two DQ answers because they might give it away.
John, I believe.
DQ: Painter?
Right you are.
The other two answers are John Anderson and… John Anderson (the 1980 independent candidate; his campaign was reacting to the perception that a vote for Anderson would actually be a vote for Ronald Reagan, hurting the incumbent, Jimmy Carter).
DQs:
Best known for the visual arts (painting, sketching, photography, sculpture, etc.)?
Born west of the Rhine River?
Two DQs reserved.
Well, if Elendil’s heir is asking “best known for the visual arts”, I’ll retract my DQ to avoid duplication.
That’s okay - normally I answer the questions in the order they’re asked, but since I received both your questions at the same time and the answer to his is “No,” I was just going to ignore yours anyway.

Only two DQs left, so to save a little effort I think I’ll just mumble something about Austria under my breath…
…you know, I thought I’d be good at this…
Think how I feel when they start talking about models and sports stars and post-1960s television…
Thanks for the hint.
OK, so we have an Austrian-born woman, first name starts with J, died since 1950, involved in the creative arts but neither an actress, singer, visual artist or involved in the movies.
Hmmm.
Yeah, I know. I’ve googled writers, dancers, choreographers, ballerinas, directors, theater critics, and all I’ve got is Jane Doe!
…and the real bugger is, I know I’m overthinking this.
