Are you the industrial designer probably best known for redesigning the Coca-Cola bottle?
Have you been nominated for an emmy multiple times (currently tied for the record, IIRC), without winning once? (not Susan Lucci)

At what point is a Stumper deemed to have failed? (i.e. no-one has answered it at all?)

Scurra: after 48 hours

[Undercover Monk]

Lazarus is correct

stumper: Are you the greatest thundercat of them all?

[Scurra]

(OK. The answer to mine was James Lovelock. And I'm really surprised that no-one else seemed to know that...)

stumper: did you co-create the character of Doctor Strange (amongst many others)?

Quailman, can you officially confirm that you were thinking of Juliette Lewis with your Natural Born Killers question?

And no one has a guess on my designer? come on!

[Quailman]

Yes, it's Juliette Lewis. I was going to ask if your character got "frozen from the waist down" in Christmas Vacation, but opted for Oliver Stone's movie instead.

[Zag]

I can't believe that nobody knew Lippy the Lion. What's the matter with you people?

Was your first full-length movie, a science-fiction movie called "THX 1138"?
Are you the greatest thundercat of them all?

Although one might argue that I have made minor contributions to the field of music, I am not a musician and neither I nor my organization(s) are thought of primarily as music creators. In other words, music is the wrong way to think about this.

Stumpers have 72 hours (see the first post). I'll remove them from the updates after that time.

[ralphmerridew]

Leopold and Loeb

Dr. Strange: Stan Lee?

THX-1138: George Lucas

[Quailman]

[Lepton*]

Nice job, ralphmerridew. Generals for Scurra, Jack_Ian, and Quailman.
Quailman's general: I am technically involved with the technology aspect of entertainment, and I have contributed in a small way to the technological aspect of entertainment, but as with music, you're barking up the wrong tree to think that I am a tech guy.

[Zag]

General: Are you best known for acting?

[Jack_Ian]

General: Would your form of entertainment be suitable for young children, say under 16?

Stumper: Did you direct the famous silent movie "Metropolis"?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Are you a girl who just wants to have fun?

[jesternl]

I can't believe no one came up with Raymond Loewy
The man designed 1/2 of America pretty much singlehandedly.
Not just the Coke bottle, but also the Lucky Strike package, Frigidaire equipment, trains, inside of the Concorde (I think) and more.

general: Are you primarily known as a writer?

[ralphmerridew]

jesternl, which stumper earned you the general?

[Lepton*]

Update:

Stumpers:
Have you been nominated for an emmy multiple times (currently tied for the record, IIRC), without winning once? (not Susan Lucci)
Are you the greatest thundercat of them all?
Did you direct the famous silent movie "Metropolis"? German name from the 20's... no idea
Are you a girl who just wants to have fun? When the working day is done? Ann Landers.

jesternl can have one of DPW's generals.

[PuzzleScot]

Girls just want to have fun = Cindy Lauper

[ralphmerridew]

Metropolis: Fritz Lang.

[Quailman]

Cyndi Lauper, but close enough.

You're in entertainment, but you don't star in films or act...

General: Are you involved in the motion picture industry?

Maybe director or producer. Other visual entertainment? Magician, Harlem Globetrotter?

[Zag]

Did you write Out of the Silent Planet?

[ralphmerridew]

Stumper: Did you play both leads in The Parent Trap?

[jesternl]

[Lepton*]

Update:

Stumpers:
Are you the greatest thundercat of them all?
Did you write Out of the Silent Planet?
Did you play both leads in The Parent Trap? Lindsay Lohan (hoping they remade it recently)

jesternl: you only get to ask a general if you posed a stumper that was correctly answered. Answering stumpers is just a good-will issue.
If we were playing a life game, I would smile at Quailman's suggestions.
In the interest of keeping this from dragging too much, I'm going to point out that it would be poor style for me to choose someone who isn't famous for unique or multiple reasons.

[PuzzleScot]

Stumper: Have you recently confessed live on air to having 'relations' with female members of staff?

[ralphmerridew]

Lindsay Lohan is correct.

Stumper: Have you ever owned a Norwegian Elkhound?

Also, as for Silent Planet, was that Madelaine L'Engle?

And, since it seems to have expired, the answer to my Emmy question was Angela Lansbury.

[Zag]

[Scurra]

Out of the Silent Planet was written by Clive Staples Lewis.
And, just to prove I am a well-rounded individual, the greatest Thundercat must surely be Lion-O...

Thanks, Scurra. I thought I knew his middle name, but I was incorrect.

General: This entertainment that you are known for being involved in: Is it something in which the people being entertained would take a more active part than just sitting still and watching? (So, if it is amusement parks, casinos, or video games, for example, I would expect a 'Yes' response.)

[Lepton*]

The style of entertainment for which I am best known is of the sit-and-watch variety and thus is not active or interactive. (but it is more engaging than a movie, the marketing folks would insist)

[Quailman]

Did you get nominated for best supporting actor for your portrayal of a woman in The World According to Garp?
