Stumper: Were you the last Shah of Iran?

I was thinking of that Sean Connery one. "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."

[Qball]

Stumper: Are you a British comedic actor who had a role in Brazil, starring Robert DeNiro?

[Qball]

Quail , stumped.

[Qball]

Aga, I owe you a general. It's William Pratt, not Pratchett.

My bad.

Cripes!

[Lucky Wizard]

Stumper: Were you the puppet leader of France under the Nazis?

[Dragon Phoenix]

I have three generals. Let's see whether I can use Chucks breakthrough idea from the previous celli:

General: Have you done time in prison for whatever it is that you are famous for?

[Duphrates]

Good try Quail, but it's not the old film with.. err... was it Alec Guinness or Richard Attenborough, I can't remember, but we'll just let it go now...

Answer was "Steve 'Can I help you at all, this is a local shop for local people, there's nothing for you here' Pemberton"

[Quailman]

Satchel Paige was the Negro League player...

Let's see... Dead, American female. Not alive in 1960. Death not noteworthy, but led to inclusion in this game. Perhaps died recently at age less than 43?

Not famous for one thing, but rather for career, or something like White House intern or labor organizer.

Not involved in sports, entertainment and/or arts,science and/or politics,academic or literary contributions. Not globally publicized. Did not spend time in prison for what she was famous for... The italics make me think perhaps she spent time in jail, or got probation for her transgression.

I am stumped, but will continue to puzzle over it all weekend, I'm sure.

In the meantime, a new stumper: Were you a poplular French chanteuse during the 40's and 50's?

[Qball]

Stumped again Quail.

[Quailman]

Edith Piaf

[Duphrates]

Hhhmmm....

Saving General for now, but in the meantime...

TUBTHUMPER STUMPER : Were you the Mancunian militant suffragette, who campaigned for the womens vote in England, in the early 1900's?

[casinopete]

Stumper: Were you portrayed on the big screen in 1996 by none other than Madonna?

[Qball]

Duphrates, stumped.
casinopete, no I am not Eva Peron. (sp)

[Qball]

Quailman, pls be careful with some of your conclusions, as you might confuse some of the other players.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Bumper: did you record a version of Love hurts with Emmylou Harris?

[Duphrates]

Emily Pankhurst was said Suffragette.

P.S - Wasn't it Ali who said he was so fast/lightswitch/ bed thingymibob?
