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.
