January 23, 1942 — Who was She?

23 Jan

She was famous, and so was her husband.

On the evening of January 23, 1942, she had dinner with friends and watched “They Died with Their Boots On” and found it very thrilling. They also watched news reels.

Who was she?

More clues needed, Tim!

My apologies, Tim, I wasn’t being critical of your not having more clues, I was just clueless!

Well, Tim, let‘s see…

While I don‘t think George Clooney is ugly, I fully agree that he definitely isn‘t more handsome than Errol. I also seem to recall that he was in a tv show called „Emergency Room“ a long, long time ago – which in turn leads me to a (first) lady married to someone our man Flynn admired very much.

Am I on the right track, Quizmaster Tim?

Haha, Tim, not really although that‘s a nice song.

I think I‘ll rather try my luck with Eleanor Roosevelt. :)

Wow, congrats, Claudia, and another great quiz, Tim! Your clues are devilish, not clueless. :) I wound up going in a totally different direction. I kept thinking a film star was the person who watched the movie. While I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the name on the list above Flynn who could have starred in a TV series that I zeroed in on was Brad Pitt. He appeared in Growing Pains, and so I was looking at stars with initials of GP or PG.

Very interesting that the song Mrs. Robinson initially was called Mrs. Roosevelt. I don’t remember much about the movie at this point, but judging by the clip, was the Robinson house a white house? And Mrs. Robinson’s daughter, Elaine, also had ER for her initials.

As an aside, sorry you’re dealing with any troublesome nonsense. Life is too short.

Thanks for the fun quiz!

Thanks Barb, and thanks Tim for another fun and challenging quiz. I was thinking of a movie star first, too.

I would renounce my title in a second for a certain Baron. ;-)
