> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > **EH** , take another DQ. You asked a question the answer of which was “Charles Darwin” and I guessed “Charles Dickens”. My answer was nowhere near close enough, so take the DQ. Oops, thanks - guess I saw what I expected to see! Previous IQs: Did Halle Berry play you in a tragic biopic? - Yes, Dorothy Dandridge Were you often the Marx Brothers’ comedic nemesis? - Yes, Margaret Dumont Have you played a spy, an astronaut, a different astronaut, a genius and a showman’s lover? - Matt Damon, in _The Bourne Identity, The Martian, Interstellar, Good Will Hunting_ and _Behind the Candelabra_ DQ: Brunette? Ever won an Oscar? IQs: Were you a noted Fifties actress with a three-letter-long last name? Did you play a pious woman and a whore in the same movie? Did you star in the TV show _Police Woman_? ---
