We each have one DQ reserved, CIAS. Still can't figure out who this is. What else should we ask?
I would hazard a guess that it's someone whom fame happened to more than anything else. I've no ideas as to who it might be though. My knowledge of older American ladies is pretty limited to Hillary Clinton or Hollywood stars.
Hmm, pondering time.
OK, thanks.
DQ:
Best known for a single incident?

I'm baffled too, sounds like a reasonable idea.
DQ. Event took place before 1990?
