> [@bibliophage](#): > > All of them played Sally Bowles (_Cabaret_) on Broadway, except Liza Minnelli, who only played her on film. I don’t think Alyson Reed played her on Broadway, although she did play her on stage. It does have to do with playing Sally Bowles, but the distinction I had in mind was something else. Hint: think longevity. ---

Here are my answers to this one since it’s been dormant for 24 hours: Cadillac El Dorado Chevy Malibu Chrysler Imperial GMC Sonoma Mercury Monterey Sunbeam Alpine [spoiler]Malibu is the only model name that is not a Californina county name. El Dorado is the only one mis-spelled. It should be Eldorado, the spelling I gave conforms with California county names. Sunbeam is the only one not made by a US auto manufacturer.[/spoiler] ---

Franklin Johnson Washington Lincoln Adams Harrison Monroe Grant Jefferson Madison Jackson The answer is NOT that Franklin wasn’t a president, and that’s also your hint. ---

I’ll guess they are al counties in some state, maybe Georgia or North Carolina, except Harrison. The correct answer must have to do with the names, not the men, since there were two presidents names Harrison, and which one is not specified in the question ---

The correct answer must have to do with the names, not the men, since there were two presidents names Harrison, and which one is not specified in the question You are on the right track, but it’s not either one of those states, and the answer isn’t Harrison. And that’s another clue. ---

They’re all counties in Indiana except Lincoln. They’re all counties in Kentucky except Adams. ---

> [@bibliophage](#): > > They’re all counties in Indiana except Lincoln. > > They’re all counties in Kentucky except Adams. It was Indiana I was thinking of. Washington-Monroe were the past and presidents, presidents, plus the president-elect, when Indiana became a state, and those counties were actually named for them. Harrison was named for the family that was one of the settlers of Indiana, of which WH was already a member, and which would produce Benjamin Harrison. The rest are just relatively common names and are coincidental, except Franklin-- that one may have been named for Benjamin Franklin, I’m not sure. There’s a Hamilton, a Hancock, and a Henry county, so I’m guessing yes. But Grant, Jackson and Johnson got their names other ways. ---
