I don’t know the second and third one and it doesn’t matter because

Good job, SCAdian!

49

Thank you, everyone.

#2 was Hulk Hogan, and #3 was Harry Harrison.

Hammarskjöld was the only Scandinavian politician I could think of with an ‘H’ name, and it’s a good thing DQ14 was Scandinavian, not Swedish, because I thought he was Norwegian. :slight_smile: (Though I might have used him as a DQ anyway, having thought of him.)

Back with a letter later today, after I can think of someone suitably fiendish… :smiley:

Lon Chaney Sr. was billed as The Man of a Thousand Faces, and it was also the title of the 1957 biographical film of his life. You may remember him as the Phantom of the Opera in the best known silent version.
