Previous IQs: Did your wife bow her head at a war memorial on your wedding day? - Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, when they passed the Cenotaph in Whitehall Did the Pope give you a special flag for an expedition? - William the Conqueror, in 1066 Did you help depose your father-in-law? - William of Orange, later to become half of the English reigning duo William and Mary William x3 again! DQs: Russian-born? Greatest fame after 1975? Two DQs reserved (unless you want to cut the round off once we reach 20 DQs, **Prof. P.** ). Thought for sure this was going to be some Soviet dancer who defected, but now I see it’s not a dancer. So… a dead, European-born male, naturalized U.S. citizen, known for the performing arts, last name starts with W, with greatest fame after 1950. Not an actor, musician, writer, artist or dancer. Hmm. An impresario of some kind…? ---

Dammit, I just now thought of Wallenda. He walked the Tallulah Gorge in Georgia when I was a kid, about 10 miles from where I grew up. They have the costume he wore in a little museum next to the Gorge. Grats EH. ---

I was going to correct you, but I remembered he had family members with the same surname, and maybe some of them could be more famous in other parts of the world. I overthink things sometimes. Go ahead EH. Timing is part of the game. ---
