Previous IQs (yes, all from _Game of Thrones_): Did Maggie the Frog tell your fortune? - Cersei Lannister Are you a tough-as-nails little girl who pledges to help Jon Snow? - Lady Lyanna Mormont Did Varys and his “little birds” kill you in a book? - Ser Kevan Lannister Hmm. An American film actress, died since 1950, last name starts with L, never got an Oscar or Emmy, a blonde beauty, known for serious roles, greatest fame before 1970. Can’t figure out who this is. I yield my earned DQs to other players, one apiece. ---
