Previous IQs: Were you a Jedi knight with a three-letter first name? - Kit Fisto. Did they have to dig up the floor to make a movie about you? - _Citizen Kane_’s Charles Foster Kane (always used the middle name, so it’s fair play, I think). Welles wanted the camera set very low for a particular shot. Did Churchill make a three-word joke of your name? - Ike’s SecState, John Foster Dulles (ditto). Churchill said, “Dull, duller, Dulles.” DQs: Military/political? Died since 1900? Best known for a single incident? IQs: Did you found a fictitious tiny realm? Did you play a female spy in a TV comedy? Did you play Audrey Van Horne? ---
