Check out Wikipedia’s version of the rules for Botticelli if you’re unfamiliar with it. The variation I propose in this thread is to use TWO initials rather than the one in the Wiki article. Otherwise, those rules are how we play it on car trips or when we’re otherwise killing time.
My first person has initials FC.
Your guess?
Did you direct Lost Horizon ?
Did you write Trio In G minor ?
What about Jelly Botty, where you have to eat eighteen curries?

Not the first clue! You get a Direct Question. Must be for a yes/no answer, please.
But you must name your FC first.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist a The Young Ones reference.

I even did a lookup to see if I could spot an FC there. No luck. So if there is one, name it and get your DQ. Otherwise, fire again.
Are you an ailing communist dictator?

No, I’m not Fidel Castro.
I got sneaky. You decide whether or not to allow: Felix the Cat.
Direct question (if allowed): Are you currently among the living?
Did you star in “Coronet Blue?”

Were you a key figure in American foreign policy during the 1970s, and the only Democrat ever to win reelection to the U.S. Senate from your state in that state’s history?

Hey, I’m in a generous mood, and would love to get somebody to guess who I am, so Felix is cool.
DQ: Unfortunately, no longer. I.E., No.

No, I’m not Frank Converse. (Had to check IMDB – which is an okay cheat in this version of the game – I mean how could we not!)
