No! You either say, “No, I’m not \_\_\_\_\_\_\_,” who is also a Dennison alumna and played a nurse, or “I don’t know.” It was an IQ, not a DQ.

Sorry! Like I said, I’m breaking the game (Jeeves couldn’t help with an answer) need a DQ then.

You’re not supposed to be doing any research of any kind; you must rely on your memory.

Jennifer Garner’s first big role was as a nurse in _Pearl Harbor_.

Any suggestions, other players, for our last DQ?

Hmmm. Never heard of her. Has anyone else, or do we have a not-at-least-as-well-known-as-Botticelli problem?

And, just for kicks, here are some (mostly SFW - bikini and underwear) pics of her: [http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=594&q=jarah+mariano&gbv=2&oq=jarah+ma&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=undefined&gs\_sm=e&gs\_upl=765l1750l0l8l7l0l2l2l0l94l421l5l5](http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=594&q=jarah+mariano&gbv=2&oq=jarah+ma&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=undefined&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=765l1750l0l8l7l0l2l2l0l94l421l5l5)

Never heard of her, either, but I haven’t heard of any supermodels of the last 20 years.

So who’s up?
