Did Barbara Eden’s husband, Michael Ansara, play you in a special epsiode of “I Dream of Jeannie”?
Did you, famously, snarl “Lady, I ain’t an athlete, I’m a baseball player.”
No and no.

DQ: Does your first name start with “K”?

Another negative.

Summary:
- Not male
- Not a fictional character
- Not born in the 20th century
- Emigrated to the USA and was a resident thereof at death
- Involved in the arts
- Not noted for musical accomplishments
- Did not die in the 20th century

No, and I won’t venture another guess. DQ for you.
No, I’m not Nikita Khrushchev.
Well, Doris Kearns Goodwin is a historian, but since “K” is her middle initial, I don’t think you have her in mind. So I’m assuming you’ve earned a DQ.
I should know this, but I’m blanking. Take a DQ.
I’ve got two very different leaders in mind for this one, so I’ll go with the fact that show aired during the '60’s and say I’m not John F. Kennedy.
No, I’m not Kent (whose first name is appropriately enough a cigarette brand) Hrbek.
That is pretty close, inasmuch as General Phil Kearny plausibly could have been have been a sergeant at some point, and then “Kearsarge” might be a condensed version of his name. But evidently the ship was named for a mountain in New Hampshire which in turn was named from an indigenous word for “notch-pointed-mountain of pines”.
DQ: Are you famous for your writing?
I’m not familiar with the work of Doris Kearns Goodwin - Samuel Noah Kramer was the author of ‘History Begins at Sumer’, among many other books about ancient Sumerian culture, language and mythology and its effect on the world.
DQ: Were you born in the 19th century?
No.
Yes.

Oh, and I just remembered that the “I’m not an athlete” line quoted above is attributed to John Kruk. So I’ll leave it up to astorian whether he takes a DQ or not, since I did miss the edit window.
I’ll give you credit for John Kruk, since you got it in before my DQ.
Michael Ansara played King Kamehameha, when “I Dream of Jeannie” went to Hawaii.
And Mike Judge was the voice of Kenny (as in “Oh My God, They Killed”) McCormick in “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.”
DQ1: Are any of your works to be found in prominent art museums?
DQ2: Were you born in Europe?
IQ: Did the film based on your life star Salma Hayek?
IQ: Did you once say of the invention that partly bears your name that you would have preferred to have developed something farmers could use, like a lawnmower.
Just in case anyone was wondering, the other leader I had in mind was Genghis Khan. Kamehameha never crossed my mind.
No to the first, yes to the second.

No, I’m not Frida Kahlo.
I’m not an inventor and don’t know which one you mean. DQ time.
IQ: Were you a big influence on the style of Ian Anderson’s flute playing with Jethro Tull?
Did you win Olympic gold medals in swimming both before and after World War 1?
Were you the youngest major league player ever to win a batting title?
Were you a political science professor at Princeton, after being deposed by a Communist coup?
This was Karen Black in Burnt Offerings.
DQ: Actress?
IQ: Did you once cover for your boss when he was drunk and unable to take an important phone call?
You are not Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47 (the K stands for Kalashnikova)
DQ: I’m going to wait until I see your answer to the actress question.
IQ: Did you record an album in character, which featured guest appearances from Brian Wilson, Tommy Ramone, James Burton, and Flaco Jiménez?
My sister Kathy plays flute and would probably be ashamed of me, but I can’t think of any “K” flutists besides her. Take a DQ.
Well, I’m not Duke Kahanamoku. If he doesn’t fit the requirements, you get a DQ.
I’m not Al Kaline, if he’s the guy you mean.
No, I’m not Alexander Kerensky.
Another of those anecdotes I’ve heard, but not sure of the identity. I’ll say I’m not Robert Kennedy, who could certainly pass himself off as Jack.
I don’t even have a guess for this one. DQ time.
Yep.
