Thank you @Prof.Pepperwinkle for the reminder.

I know we all draw from different backgrounds and knowledge bases, which has always made this game fascinating for me. The questions asked makes me dig back in the recesses of my brain, and I enjoy it tremendously.

That’s just one of the many fun things about Botticelli!

Can’t figure out who this is. I yield my earned DQ to whoever would like to ask it.

443

DQ: Shot non fatally?

444

Aha!

IQ:

Did David Bowie, who knew you, also play you in a movie?

Or I will just proceed to my “Are you Firstname Lastname?” question. Are you Andy Warhol?

445

YES! I AM ANDY WARHOL!
(and this was my 15 minutes of fame)

446

Good job, EH! Nicely done, Miss!

447

My thanks to kitap for getting the ol’ grey cells firing right, and MissTake for a good subject that round. I’m a Warhol fan, as it happens. Anyone who hasn’t been to the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh should make the trip someday - good stuff.

Our next letter will be

R

448

Belated IQ wrap-up: 1 was Auric Goldfinger; 2 was Armand Hammer.

Congrats, EH! Isn’t it time for a new thread, though?
