> [@ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness](#): > > IQ: Are you a Bond girl that also had the lead in a Godzilla movie? > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Hmm. Dunno. DQ. You are not Akiko Wakabayashi, the main\* Bond Girl in _You Only Live Twice_, who was also the lead in _Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster_ and had a smaller role in _King Kong vs. Godzilla_ DQ: Regarding the Oscar-winning film you were in, did the film win for any of the “Big 6” categories, that is Best Picture, Director, or one of the 4 acting awards? I want to make sure I don’t get mislead on the “Oscar-winning” part. After all, _Independence Day_, _Mrs. Doubtfire_, and _Dirty Dancing_ are all Oscar-winning films, but are not what usually comes to mind when one hears that term. - By “main” I mean the one Bond ends up in bed with at movie’s end. ---

1. Wayne Morse (D-Oregon) was one of the only two Senators to vote against the Tonkin Gulf Resolution 2. Rotund fictional detective Nero Wolfe had a Swiss butler/cook named Fritz Brenner and a full-time orchid keeper named Theodore Horstmann. 3. Alex Wojciehowicz and Vince Lombardi were on the offensive line at Fordham University in the Bronx. That line was known as the Seven Blocks of Granite.

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > IQ: Were you credited with scoring Major League Baseball’s one millionth run? Amid much hype, Bob Watson of the Houston Astros accomplished this feat in 1975. However, arguments over which leagues were truly “major”, as well as the incompleteness and inaccuracy of record-keeping in the pioneer era, combine to make absolute determination of the milestone impossible. DQ: Was the movie in which you appeared released in black-and-white? IQ: Were you a territorial governor who also wrote a best-selling book? ---

Your character was so marvelously played by Rip Torn… > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > I have no idea at all. Take a DQ. **Walt Whitman** first heard Dr. Maurice Bucke speak at the Smithsonian Institute and was so impressed by his then-new ideas about the treatment of the mentally ill that he came to visit Dr. Bucke in London in 1880. Bucke is also known as an early biographer of Walt Whitman. Beautiful Dreamers is an outstanding film, by the way… As mine will be the 20th DQ, I’d like to wait until such time as the previous 4 are answered, if I may. ---
