IQ3 – Robert Taylor wagon movie – Sorry, I was thinking about Denise Darcel (whom I had remembered as Corinne Calvet) and in _Westward the Women_ (which I also misremembered as _Westward Ho The Wagons_) so I double-boo-booed on this one – I beg you pardon!

No, I’m not Bette Davis

It’s not necessary for IQ’s to be based on known facts about the Identity. They can even refer, if you wish, to non-real people. They must, however, refer to entities whose names are Proper Nouns.

(See the OP for the variations we’re playing under in theis thread.)

Bottom line: you could have used an IQ about a living person.
