After EH’s DQs last night, I strongly suspected that I would come home to find that someone had asked the right question. Six IQs and two DQs to answer, but I’m going to be rude and ignore seven of those. 😃 > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > 1. Did you play Superman’s Kryptonian mother Lara opposite Marlon Brando’s Jor-El? Yes, I am indeed the lovely and talented Susannah York (whom I know only from _Battle of Britain_). ---
