2. Did you play a rabbi in My X-Girlfriend’s Wedding Reception?
3. Are you a character in the Doctor Who episode “The Haunting of Villa Diodati” (and did you also travel with the Eighth Doctor a bit)?

Correct on Sherlock Holmes. 1 was referring to Nyssa of Traken, played by Sarah Sutton (Sorry, EH, I had thought you were a Whovian; it’s not a fair question if you’re unfamiliar with the show.) 3 was Saul of Tarsus, who was famously struck blind on the road to Damascus, then changed his name to Paul and founded Christianity.

Grace Slick wrote “White Rabbit”, and Stella Stevens starred in the movie adapation as Ms. von Climax.

Dunno, not Ben Stiller, and not Salieri.

And no worries, SMV, but I’m not a Whovian. I’ve seen bits and pieces over the years, but never a single complete show.

Final DQ: Had a famous student named Helen?

I think SunUp has it.

I think I do too… except that I’m racking my brains to remember her last name. Tip-of-the-tongue kind of thing.

SunUp - think of the big blue guy from Monsters, Inc. Very common Irish name. Or the guy that wouldn’t show Elvis from the waist down.

Dingdingding! Yes, indeed, I am Helen Keller’s beloved teacher and friend,

Anne Sullivan

Good job, SunUp! For more: Anne Sullivan - Wikipedia
