These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-06-19,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of Bloor St. Irregulars and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the
Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

** Game 6, Round 9 - Entertainment - Celebrity Relatives

1. What long-deceased legendary music and film star is the
grandfather of actress Riley Keough, who plays a talented
singer/songwriter in "Daisy Jones & the Six"?

2. Maya Rudolph, multitalented former "Saturday Night Live" star,
may have inherited some of her vocal chops from her late mother,
who hit #1 in 1975 with "Lovin' You". Name Maya Rudolph's
mother.

3. Both of actress Zoe Kravitz's mother and grandmother are best
known for their supporting roles on hit TV comedies focusing
on African-American life in New York City. Name *either*
Zoe's mother or grandmother.

4. Dakota Johnson's grandmother played a mysterious woman in an
Alfred Hitchcock movie, while Dakota's mother played a mysterious
woman in a Brian de Palma movie. Again, name either Dakota's
grandmother or mother

5. Name the mother of Rashida Jones. Famous for her appearance on
"The Mod Squad" in the late 1960s and early 1970s, she had a
career revival when she appeared in the '90s on "Twin Peaks".

6. Grammy-winning musician Norah Jones is the daughter of what
musician who rose to global fame in the 1960s due to his
influence on popular music, most notably the Beatles?

7. Director Duncan Jones won acclaim for his debut sci-fi movie
"Moon". This space setting would have been an appropriate one
for his musician father, who changed his name in 1966 to avoid
comparisons to another British musician who would later go on
to be a member of the Monkees. Name the father of Duncan Jones.

8. The late Natasha Richardson was descended from a prominent
British acting family. Name her mother, a star of stage and
screen and winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her

nearly 25 years. Name her famous mother -- an actress, singer,
and Playboy Playmate who died in a car accident in June 1967.

10. Name the mother of Isabella Rossellini. She was one of the
most influential actresses of the 20th century, with a 50-year
acting career, three Academy Awards, and two Emmys, including
one for her final performance as Golda Meir.

* B. Art

B1. Dan Walsh created a webcomic that is an edit of

BLANK", where BLANK is the character removed. Who is it?

B2. Cassius Marcellus Coolidge is best known for creating
a series of now-kitschy paintings that depict what specific
subject matter? (Species and activity.)

* C. History

C1. In 1932, public concern over destruction of crops in
the wheat belt of Western Australia led to a nuisance-
wildlife-management military operation against what animal?

C2. Credited with promoting wildlife conservation to the general
public, the 1960 book -- and subsequent movie -- "Born Free"
is an account of a couple who adopted and raised a lion cub.
What was the lion's name?
