[QUOTE=divemaster] I came up with “Michael Clayton.” If that’s who you were going for, I’m not him. [/QUOTE] That was who I meant. ---

Are you famous for writing a diary during the American Civil War? ---

Kid A and Darryl Lict still get DQs from earlier. I have to leave the office and commute home in about 20 minutes. I’m not sure when I’ll get to log back in, but I will try some time this evening. (Assuming no correct guess in the next 20 minutes). ---

I was Margaret Cho…so no DQ for me. I think that’s what we’ve done in the past. ---

[QUOTE=Kid\_A] I was Margaret Cho…so no DQ for me. I think that’s what we’ve done in the past. [/QUOTE] Well, I answered wargamer fist b/c I knew the answer, but you actually asked about Cho first (I didn’t recognize her from your clue) so I’m not sure what the rules would say. I’ve got to go. I think y’all are very very close! ---

Damn it, I know what your first name is, three of the letters in your last name is, but I’m not sure what movies I’ve seen you in. I can’t make a definitive IQ without googling, so I’ll leave it to a cinephile. ---

[QUOTE=Sternvogel] Were you the first Asian female to win a prize at the Cannes Film Festival? [/QUOTE] I think Darryl Lict and glee were on the right track, but Sternvogel got it first. I am indeed Maggie Cheung. Maggie Cheung is probably my second favorite actress. (I could hardly go with my favorite b/c with the initials Z.Z. the game would be over in 30 seconds!) Ms. Cheung has been in almost 100 movies and won multiple awards. She has gone from sidekick “eye candy” to a wonderful and mature actress with much range and depth. If you’ve never seen her in anything, do yourself a favor and watch [Comrades: Almost a Love Story](http://www.dvdspot.com/dvd.php?d=1149770904). (Scroll down on the link for my review). I hope y’all had fun. I did. Thanks! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-round-12/449545.md?page=3)
