Fleetwood Mac did the original version of “Black Magic Woman.” Their leader has always been Mick Fleetwood.

Arlene Francis was a regular panelist on What’s My Line?

Dick Fosbury revolutionized high jumping in 1968 with the “Fosbury Flop.”

  1. Were you called “the first American flapper”?
  2. Did Roger Moore play you in an action adventure movie in the late 1970’s?
