Again, the idea is to give a unique answer. Made it harder this time.

1. “I was in the movie _A Star is Born_.”
2. “I ran on Broadway longer than 10 years.”
3. “I’m a Parker Bros. Game.”
4. “I won an Olympic medal for the Soviet Union.”
5. “I was an understudy who had to go on.”
6. “I played for Queen Elizabeth I.”
7. “I recorded a song with Paul McCartney.”
8. “I went before the camera with Penn Jillette.”
9. “I play(ed) chess.”

Scoring:

Truly unique answer = 10 pts.  
Answer given by 2 players = 5 pts.  
Answer given by 3 players = 1 pt.  
Answer given by 4 or more players = 0 pts.

You are on your honor not to look at other answers before playing.

Anyone who wants to forward their snail address to the gamemaster will receive one roll of toilet paper with a certain personage’s image on it.
