My DQ, obviously, was meant to be Did you first appear in print (novel/short story/poem)?
Stupid time limit…
Dave Davies of The Kinks
No, but it could be Reginald Dwight, Elton John’s real name. I had assumed that’s what you meant and you just had a brainfart while typing your reply. No DQ taken.
I’ll save my other one until I see the answer to SCAdian’s DQ.
Yes, Professor Higgins filled Eliza Doolittle’s mouth with pebbles during her elocution lessons. She was my first thought actually.
No, I did not first appear in print.

For the first, I’m not Dirty Harry Callahan.

For the last, no idea. Definitely a DQ here.
IQ: Are you a horndog DA working the graveyard shift?
I’m not Dan Fielding.
IQ1: Do you habitually make enormous sandwiches?
IQ2: Are you a paranoid Texan exterminator and conspiracy theorist?
IQ3: Are you a fictional PI who stars in a series of books written by another fictional character?
Correct on Dirty Harry.
Dusty Miller, from The Guns of Navarone. (Who’s Daniel Craig?)
I was thinking of Neale Daniher, but of course his brothers Chris, Anthony and Terry would also have been correct answers.
IQs:
Did you and your associates fly from Shangri-La to Tokyo?
Were you the first person to receive a Medal of Honor for Vietnam?
Did you sing about the colours of your life?
DQs to come, after I get home from work…
Spielberg bought the movie rights to Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals, which provided him with quite a bit of material for Lincoln.
Yes, the Darryls from Newhart.
Dora the Explorer.
Two DQs reserved for now.
Hmm. “On screen” is ambiguous, methinks. Does that mean movies for sure, or do we need to use a DQ to specify movies or TV?
IQs:
Was your weapon a metaphor for a persistently dangerous state of affairs?
Did your realm seek full status with others through a technological stunt?
Did you break the story of Prince Harry’s deployment to Afghanistan?
IQ1: I’m not Dagwood Bumstead.
IQ2: No idea. DQ for you.
IQ3: All I can think of here is Ellery Queen, but that can’t be it. DQ for you.
He played British spy James Bond. I don’t think he played the others, but he was the best I could think of.
IQ1: I was unaware that Shangri-La even had a landing strip. Didn’t Lost Horizon’s Conway and company crash outside and hike in? Anyway, DQ for you.
IQ2: No idea. DQ for you.
IQ3: Argh. I know the song by the Seekers, but I nave no idea who sang lead. DQ for you.
Is that a DQ? 
Three DQs.
Arrrgh. That’ll teach me to try writing things when I have to get up even more ungodly early in the morning than usual - the correct answer to my second question was David Niven, who played Dusty Miller in The Guns of Navarone, James Bond in the 1967 Casino Royale, and Priory in Candleshoe.
After Jimmy Doolittle’s raid on Tokyo, launched from the carrier USS Hornet, FDR told a reporter that the aircraft had flown from Shangri-La.
Capt Roger H C Donlon.
The incredibly wonderful Judith Durham. (They’re doing another string of concerts this May - wish I could go, but a trip to Australia is totally outside my budget…)
DQs:
If you were real, would you still be alive now?
Are/Were you an artist, IAW the usual definition thereof?
