Correct on Dr Quest and Frank Beardsley. (In the movie, Frank and Helen had a baby, #19. Did you know that in real life there was also a #20?)
No, I didn’t. Did you know they remade the movie with Dennis Quaid?
It, uh, wasn’t very good.
[quote=“Prof.Pepperwinkle, post:117, topic:657330”]
After seeing the poster and reading about the changes they’d made in the story, I didn’t bother watching it. Figured it couldn’t possibly be as good as the original, anyway.

George W. Bush, his wife Laura Bush, and his mother Barbara Bush.
So… we have a dead American actor, died between 1975 and 2000, last name starts with B, not known as a dramatic actor, best known for work now on TV. He didn’t win an Oscar, but played someone who did.
How should we use our three remaining earned DQs? How can we narrow the field?
