IQs: Did you make your home at Taliesin? - Frank Lloyd Wright Were you Clinton’s first SECTREAS? - Yes, Lloyd Bentsen Have you played a scientist, a cabbie and a judge? - Christopher Lloyd, in _Back to the Future, Taxi_ and _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_ Lloyd x3! As to “Would be alive today, if real?,” the answer could be “no” either due to age or to events in the work of fiction, as you suggest. It’s also perfectly valid to say it’s impossible to determine. Not all characters’ fates are cut-and-dried. DQs: Character’s name appears in the title? Has appeared in more than one movie? IQs: Did you receive the surrender of British forces at Yorktown? Did you work for Gary Seven? Were you a prominent muckraking journalist? ---
