Botticelli - Sep 2013

Yes, I am Elizabeth Bathory! Congrats to Elendil’s Heir!

I should mention that I’m not Candice Bergen or Bob Campbell, and it’s too early for the thinking required for the rest of the questions. :wink:

Well done, EH!

Mighty fine job, EH. I be tippin’ the last o’ me rum te ye. I been thinkin’ o’ her mesel’ but figgerin’ the bathin’ in blood thing fer another misconception o’ mine based on the syllable “bath” an’ not knowin’ how te be cluin’ her elsewise. Congrats again.

Mine be spoilered in case Draelin be wantin’ te do the thinkin’ when it gets a bit later

‘twere Andreas Baader, who don’t be fittin’. I remembered one o’ Baader an’ Meinhof were a lass, but I be gettin’ wrong which one

Well, that was quick.
To wrap up the last round… Correct on Billy Barty.
The stuttering sailor was Billy Budd, title character of Herman Melville’s final novella Billy Budd, Sailor.

Correct on Candice Bergen and Bob Campbell.
#3 was Bob’s stepcousin (so to speak), Billy Tate.

Thanks, all! I think we had Bathory as the mystery person a few years ago, as it happens.

Barbara Bach was in The Spy Who Loved Me as a beautiful Soviet operative (mwowr!), and married Ringo Starr.
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan at the time) was once told by M, “This country will sometimes need a blunt instrument.”
