IQ1: Hmmm. **Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon** is my all-time favorite movie, _ever_, and I know the main cast backwards and forwards but none of them have a “J” name as an actress. Perhaps you are going for the character “Jen”? If not, I don’t know who you are looking for.

IQ2: **Memoirs of a Geisha** is one of my all-time favorite books, although the movie was not so good. Like the above, I’m familiar with the main (female) cast of the film, and no “J” names come to mind.

IQ3: Ok, here I can just say “no freakin’ clue”! LOL
