Cashing in my reserved DQs…
DQ1: Died after 1900 AD?
DQ2: Known for your musical involvement?
The first was Billy Wilder, who directed Some Like it Hot and The Apartment, as well as several others. However, looking at his filmography, the majority of his romantic comedy work was in the 50’s, so I had the wrong decade and revoking that DQ would be totally appropriate.
The second was Billie Holliday, whose biography was called Lady Sings the Blues, after one of her songs.
Holding on to my one (possibly two) DQs for the moment.
Barbarella had to find the scientist Dr. Durand Durand. Boston Blackie (with his pencil-thin mustache) was #3.
