Died 1925-1950. That makes Prohibition, the Depression and WWII all possible arenas. Think, think, think… ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > Not Julia Child. > Not … Julia? > Not … Nicely-Nicely Johnson? Correct on Julia Child and Julia. The latter’s last name was (IIRC) Baker, but I’ll accept simply “Julia,” as that was the name of the show. Not Nicely-Nicely, who preferred beer, at least while visiting the Hot Box nightclub. It was Big Julie from Chicago who had a couple of glasses of milk at Mindy’s before heading off to the crap game. DQ reserved for now. Gonna have to think of a good one. ---

Nitpick: It’s “Big Jule.” Previous IQs: Did you marry Crabman, your adulterous lover? - Joy Hickey, on _My Name is Earl_. Did the Red-Headed League select you? - Jabez Wilson. Are you depicted on a mural before which Loki walked? - King John, signing Magna Carta.

> [@Spoons](#): > > Not Nicely-Nicely, who preferred beer, at least while visiting the Hot Box nightclub. It was Big Julie from Chicago who had a couple of glasses of milk at Mindy’s before heading off to the crap game. Drat. I actually thought of Big Jule first, but then convinced myself it was more likely to be Nicely-Nicely. ☹ > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > IQs: > > Were you noted for your work with settlement houses in the U.S.? > Did you play Domino in _Live and Let Die_? > Were you married to a plump king? Still not Jane Addams. DQ if there’s someone else who fits. Wasn’t Domino in _Thunderball_? Anyway, take a DQ, because I’m drawing a total blank on ‘J’ actresses. And another DQ… > [@etv78](#): > > Actually going Harriet Beached ??? **J**. 1. Real 2. Dead 3. Female 4. J is initial of first name 5. Died after 1900 6. American 7. Died before 1950 8.

Previous IQs: Were you noted for your work with settlement houses in the U.S.? - Yes, Jane Addams. Did you play Domino in _Live and Let Die_? - I thought that was Jane Seymour’s character’s name. Were you married to a plump king? - The earlier Jane Seymour, married to Henry VIII. I can’t think of who this might be. I yield my DQs to the next two players who’d like to ask 'em. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Did you play Domino in _Live and Let Die_? - I thought that was Jane Seymour’s character’s name. In _Live and Let Die_, Jane Seymour played the role of Solitaire. Can’t remember right now who played Domino in _Thunderball_, but it wasn’t Jane Seymour. ---

I’d missed the earlier Addams reference, and appreciate the correction as to Solitaire. ---
