IQ3: Are you an unintelligent dog that who loves to slobber?

…I guess I’ll take your word for it that Clooney once played someone named Clayton…

In a title role, no less! Pretty good movie, too: Michael Clayton - Wikipedia.

…IQ1: Were you played by a man who was not George Clooney, who also played Clayton?
IQ2: Were you the only sister of a group of singing brothers?
IQ3: Did you sing about a woman asking a man not to play a certain song on the jukebox?

Dunno the first two; not Olivia Newton John.

1. Abraham de Lacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O’Malley, O’Malley the Alley Cat.

“Why, Monsieur O’Malley, your name seems to cover all of Europe!” - a charming film, that.

Carl Orff, quite right. “O Fortuna” seems to be heard at sporting events more frequently than it is heard in the concert hall.

#3 is Oscar Peterson, a towering figure on the Canadian jazz scene for decades.

#2 - Well, I’ll let you decide whether I should get a DQ. It was a reference to William of Ockham, whose principle for deciding between two equally compelling arguments is known as ‘Occam’s Razor’. Technically, ‘William’ is his name, and Ockham his place of birth; however, when he is referred to, it tends to be as ‘Occam’ and not ‘William’.
DQ - Are you in any way connected with fashion and design?

[guylevesque]

Right on Oppenheimer. The second one was Otto Gunsche and the third was Odie from Garfield.

IQ1: Are you famous for your designs for Jackie Kennedy
IQ2: Did you employ Jews in your factory?
IQ3: Are you an assassinated Swedish prime minister?

Not Oskar Schindler or Olaf Palme, second and third, but I am indeed

Oscar de la Renta!

Didn’t know he was originally Dominican before I started this round. Well done, guylevesque!

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Congratulations, guylevesque! Welcome to the game!
