Yes, I am # Wendy from “Born to Run,” of course: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu4\_zVxmufY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu4_zVxmufY) She was only mentioned once in all of the Boss’s songs: [https://www.app.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/12/18/bruce-springsteen-most-iconic-women-in-songs-mary-climbs-in-wendy-born-to-run/71915466007/](https://www.app.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/12/18/bruce-springsteen-most-iconic-women-in-songs-mary-climbs-in-wendy-born-to-run/71915466007/) Incidentally, a university prof of my sister’s once apologized to the class: “Sorry I’m late; the streets were jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive.” Well done, **SunUp**! ---

Hey, thanks! It was a bit of a stroke of luck; I figured it had to be “Windy” (by The Association; see IQ#3 above) and was trying to figure out a filler question. I was thinking of a clue for Wendy Darling and suddenly associated to a show I had listened to one time that claimed “Born To Run” was about a Peter Pan fantasy by Springsteen - and realized I should throw in a reference to the song character. Anyway, enough about that. Let’s get the next round going: I am # I the ninth letter of the alphabet, the first person subject pronoun, and our next Botticelli initial! ---

Were you a comedian and cornet player whose real name was Merwyn Bogue? 3. Are you the protagonist of a famously violent Nazi-themed sexploitation film? ---
