Previous IQs: Did David Sedaris make a joke about you in his short story “Town and Country”? - Sedaris said that, when he met a foul-mouthed but distinguished-looking elderly couple, “it was as if someone had kidnapped the grandparents from a Ralph Lauren ad and forced them to appear in a David Mamet play.” Are you a red witch in _Game of Thrones_? - Melissandre Are you perhaps the most prominent current member of your famous family? - I wasn’t thinking of Marie Osmond, but that fits. DQs: Best known as a solo artist? Best known for rock and roll? Three DQs left - I yield them to whoever would like to ask them, one per customer. ---
