Botticelli - June 2013

Noting I’m the ONLY Doper asked this: Heather Locklear.

Um. etv78, the letter we’re playing is C. Were you perhaps confused with the recent aberrations the Message Board has been experiencing?

THAT is why I didn’t want to respond! Have fun figuring it out guys, I’m out!

IQ: Did you play a somewhat uptight redhead who was part of a quartet of Manhattan women?
Bit of a long shot…

Still thinking about this…

Take a DQ.

Cynthia Nixon, who played whatshername in ‘Sex in the City’. (Miranda, maybe? I never followed the show…) I couldn’t tell without looking her up, but I thought she might be around the minimum possible age for whomever you’ve chosen.

We’ve now got more DQs than we need; what I really need is an idea.

ETA: Looked her up - yes, she played ‘Miranda’; no, she’s about 7 years younger than our minimum age. Oh, well…

IQ1: Were you in a show about a teacher who became a superhero?

Yes! I am Connie Selleca!, one of the stars of The Greatest American Hero and the female lead in Hotel!

Trivia note: when Connie was married to Gil Gerard (TV’s Buck Rogers in the 80s), she like to surprise him by faking her suicide. The first few times he panicked, as you would expect, but eventually he just started critiquing her tableaux. She’s currently married to John Tesh. Oh, yeah, and she was in a Christmas made-for-TV movie in 2012.

Very well done, SCAdian!

Well done, indeed, O SCAdian!

“Trivia note: when Connie was married to Gil Gerard (TV’s Buck Rogers in the 80s), she like to surprise him by faking her suicide.”

My, what a charming sense of humour…
