You are not Madonna Ciccone, best known by her first name only. (I like Elendil’s trick of using a less common name to obfuscate - seriously, who knew Grand Moff Tarkin even had a first name?) As for the Simpson’s question, very close - it’s Cletus. My last IQ was Carry Nation, but since you got another Carry Nation IQ, I’ll won’t take a DQ for her. The usual openers: DQ1: Real? DQ2: Male? ---

Krekor Ohanian…I feel I should be looking for Craig the swarthy actor with the bland Englishy surname…but nothing is coming. Daniel Craig; best I can do. I am not coming up with the actor/receiver.

Maurice Mickelwhite was Michael Caine- well done. But the journalist whose parents were both in Congress is Cokie Roberts (her Dad was Hale Boggs, and her Mom was Lindy Boggs; both represented Louisiana in the House). And the actor who won the Emmy for both lead role in a comedy and lead role in a drama was… Carroll O’Connor, for _ **All in the Family** _ and _ **In the Heat of the Night.** _ DQ1: Are you from a country that speaks a Romance language? DQ2: Were you born between 1700-1900?
