Correct on the first 2. #3 was William Demarest.

1 DQ reserved.
IQ) Were you a former Rookie of the Year who managed the Oakland A’s to a World Series title?

IQ1: Were you and another person working for a penny, trying to get a fish on the line?
IQ2: Did you speak for a cat in a series of films about a mouse?
IQ3: Did you have a great fall?
IQ: Are you a news anchor for ABC and co-host for This Week?
Rules question: If someone looks over my shoulder, reads the list of DQ answers, and says, “Oh, that sounds like X,” is it legitimate to ask about X in my next set of IQs? Would your answers to that question be different if (a) X was someone I knew about , but hadn’t thought of, or (b) X was someone I’d never heard of?
If X is a, someone you’ve heard of, it’s fair game; not so if X is b, IMHO.
I agree with Prof. P.'s suggested ruling. This is a game of memory - not research skill, or officious intermeddlers.

Dunno the first two; not Humpty Dumpty.

Last DQ: known for one particular act or event?
I would consider journalism separate from the arts, but in any event…
