To be clear, **astorian** , Abe Fortas was nominated for Chief Justice, but was not confirmed by the Senate and then resigned. Clement Haynsworth and G. Harold Carswell were nominated to his then-vacant seat as an Associate Justice, not as Chief Justice, and neither was confirmed. Warren Burger was nominated for and confirmed as Chief Justice, and directly replaced Earl Warren in that post.

To me, astorian’s question is a very different one from those asked by etv and EH. Since etv’s version came first, I’ll answer it (as well as astorian’s); EH can reuse his DQ.

**B**

1. Real
2. Female
3. Living
4. American
5. Last name starts with B
6. Best known for the arts, broadly defined
7. Born east of the Mississippi River
8. Not born after 1970
9. Not known for the Creative Arts (as opposed to the Performing Arts)
10. Not born south of the Mason-Dixon line
11. Actress
12. Born after 1930
13. White
14. Not known as a singer or musician
15. Have starred or co-starred in a movie
16. Am or have been a blonde
17. Does/Did not work primarily on big screen
18. Has not been nominated for or won an Oscar

All right, a white living actress born in the NE section of the USA between 1930-1970, known for TV or theater whose last name starts with B.

That’s really broad for 18 questions.
