Good job!!
Correct on Grace Kelly and Kevin Bacon. The songs are by country artist Kenny Chesney.
Well done, SCAdian! Looking forward to the next round.
<blink> Boris Karloff was British??
Correct on Kevin Kline. #1 was Brian Keith (Family Affair, The Parent Trap, and The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming).
Where were we? Rachmaninoff, Quantrill, Poul, Ozma…
I am N.
IQ1: Did you sing about a certain number of red balloons?
IQ2: When you walk into your favourite watering hole, are you greeted by name by everybody?
IQ3: Do you run the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York?
Dammit, and I was just thinking of Karloff today because of his narration of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! I didn’t know he was British, either. Good job, SCAdian.
IQs:
Were you Mrs. Lincoln’s seamstress and confidante? - Elizabeth Keckley (she appears in the recent Lincoln movie).

Did you quotably deprecate the job you held?
Was your caregiver quite sad when you had to leave home while still quite young?
Not Nena Kerner.
DQ.
Not good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit.
<sigh> Three DQs, unless #2 was Richard Nixon.
Correct on Nena and good old reliable Nathan Detroit. Number 2 was looking for Norm, from “Cheers.”
DQ: Are you real?
IQ1: Are you a Babylonian king afforded the same honour as Jereboam?
IQ2: Did you and Zadok anoint a king?

IQs:
Not Nebuchadnezzar. (They both have oversized wine bottles named for them.)
Not … Nathaniel?
Not Nero.
DQ.
Not Vladimir Nabokov.
Not … the Black Widow? But I don’t remember her name, so have a DQ.
N
1: As you said, Nebuchadnezzar, and for the reason you said.
2: Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, anointed Solomon king. I’ll have to check if Nathan the Prophet is also known as Nathaniel.
3: As you said, Nero.
IQ: Did you reputedly resurrect three children who had been killed to be butchered and sold in a famine-stricken region?
All I can find on Nathan who anointed Solomon indicates he was just called Nathan, and the biblical Nathaniel was one of the twelve apostles, so…
DQ: Are you male?
Not … St Nicholas?
N
IQ1: Are you the boyfriend of a famous girl detective?
IQ2: Were you beheaded for treason while your daughters watched?
IQ3: Do you have a dog named Asta?

#1 was No-Man, a scientist who had died, but whose intellect was preserved and transferred among a host of android bodies.
#3 was, indeed, Natalie Romanoff, the Black Widow.
