Dang it, I had her. But I decided to be cute and ask a couple more IQs first, and Arwen’s Boo snuck in and caught me at the finish line! Congratulations, @Elendil_s_Heir!

Answers to the DQs, just for the record: No. 1 was Helen Hayes, No. 2 was Helen Mirren (who won an Oscar for The Queen, and also played - clothed - Caligula’s wife Caesonia in the Bob Guccione film of the same name). No. 3 was indeed Helen Hunt, of Twister fame.
