You played a junkie on _Homicide_?! **Wow**!

I curse the day that Falsone, Ballard, and Gharty ever joined the squad… And the way they ruined Kellerman! _sigh_

Well let’s get something going here! The person that answers the trivia question has to ask anyone.

I’ll answer Gadarene’s question:  
Homicide. (thank you jesuslynch)

My question:  
What 1950 film classic was nominated for 14 Oscars, and won six?

Um Alex, I believe the question is “What is All About Eve?”.

And I will take home improvement programs for $100 … “She was a co-host of “Hometime” for 2 years and also in the movie The Making of …And God Spoke”.

I don’t know the one about “Hometime”…but I’ll take a guess - was it Martha Stewart?  
And for the SNL musical act, was it Leon Redbone?

If so to either of the above, answer me this: There is a church in Paris, France with no windows. What is its name?
