No worries. Previous IQs: Were you a British military hero of the Arnhem campaign? - Col. Robert (I think, but not sure of the first name) Urquhart, from _A Bridge Too Far_. Did you bow to a man for whom you had no respect? - Francis Urquhart, the evil Prime Minister, going through the motions with the liberal, soon-to-be-deposed monarch in _To Play the King_. Was your wife startled by an old woman in a cemetery? - Frank Underwood, in Netflix’s _House of Cards_. DQs: Known for the visual arts? Born east of the Miss. River? Born after 1980? Gotta think of some more U’s for IQs. I’m just almost fresh out. ---

Born before 1980 EH, take a different DQ for your second. He’s not American (#6), so the “born east of the Mississippi” isn’t going to be a factor. ---
