Botticelli October 2011

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.

Clerow Wilson, Jr. became known by the first (nick)name Flip.

DQ: Is the movie in which you appeared a political tale? (Yes, I have a specific film – and thus character – in mind.)

In case I’m on the wrong track, an

IQ: Were you credited with scoring Major League Baseball’s one millionth run?

IQ: Did you compose the soundtrack for Sir Lawrence Olivier’s film version of ‘Henry V’?

I should know the first one, in particular, but I’m blanking. Three DQs for you.

Dunno. Take a DQ.

No, I’m not… William Walton?

Please note the clarification to my answer to question 9.

  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. The sitcom “Barney Miller” featured Max Gail as a cop named Detective Stan “Wojo” Wojciehowicz, in honor of that football player.
    DQ1: Were you a “Good guy”?

DQ3: Have you ever appeared in an animated film or comic book?

IQ: Are you the only pilot to survive both attacks on the Death Star?

IQ: Did the film ‘Beautiful Dreamers’ celebrate the time you spent visiting Dr. Maurice Bucke in London, Ontario? Your character was so marvelously played by Rip Torn…

I’m sorry, I removed this from the above post by accident - William Walton is absolutely correct! Well done!

Are you the last English player to win a singles title at Wimbledon?

Do you do an access TV show from your Mom’s basement?

Do you have an uncontrollable toilet paper fetish?

I have no idea at all. Take a DQ.

Dunno about the first and third, but we already had a Wayne’s World question, so take two DQs.

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?

Virginia Wade was the last English tennis player of either gender to win a Wimbledon singles title.

And Mr. Whipple couldn’t stop squeezing Charmin toilet paper.
DQ: Did you ever live on another planet besides Earth?

DQ: Did you have any super or supernatural powers?

You are not Woland from The Master and Margarita, often cited as one of the inspirations for Sympathy for the Devil by The Stones.

DQ: Did you win in the end?

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.

No, I’m not Lew Wallace, author of Ben-Hur. (Coincidentally enough, I just heard a speech about the 1864 Battle of Monocacy, in which Wallace played a key role).

OK, everyone who earned a DQ in this round may now each ask a single “Are you [first and last name]?” question. If no one gets it by 10am EST Tuesday, I’ll post the answer and start the next round.

Just noticed - he was a Korean War and not a Vietnam War vet, wasn’t he?

No matter. I’ve answered your DQ.
