Thanks - good one. I remember hearing her described as the smarter of the two Quayles; she allegedly had labor induced with one of their children so that she could take the Indiana bar exam on time.
Other previous IQs:
Did Tom Selleck play you in a single movie? - The title character (Tom Selleck) in Quigley Down Under

3 DQ reserved
DQ: Would be living, if real?
DQ2: American?
DQ3: Created by American(s)?
Another interesting factoid: if you were born the day before the Wright Brothers flight, and died the day after Armstrong walked on the moon, you only lived to be 65!
I just checked Wikipedia. If you were born the day before the 1st manned hot air ballon flight, and lived to see the Wright brothers, you lived to be 120.
Possible but unlikely, I'd say.

1. fictional
2. male
