QOD Saturday 12-08 "DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY"

[fantine33]

12/8 Dude Looks Like a Lady

(I wanted to use today's title for a QOD on female impersonators, but I thought that might be too narrow a category. Ha!)

In the immortal words of Ray Davies, girls will be boys and boys will be girls. The people behind the birth names listed below are better known with names of the opposite gender.

EDIT: I forgot to put that, for today's game, both first and last names are required. I didn't say it specifically, but everybody that has answered thus far got the implication.


1. Amandine Dupin

2. Vincent Furnier

3. Karen Blixen

4. Howard O’Brien

5. Mary Ann Evans

QOD: Emily Bronte wasn’t published under her real name until after her death. What was the masculine pseudonym she used?

5 Point Bonus - What woman was billed with the title “Miss” in her first major role, as the producers didn’t want viewers to think she was a man?

Spoiler

1. Okay, George Sand was the Frenchie, so I guess this is her.

2. Alice Cooper

3. Nope, Cause I"m gonna use George Eliot below

4. Anne Rice

5. George Eliot

QoD: Ellis Bell. Or was it Acton? or Currer? Schistamunder. Can't remember which Bronte sister was which, so no answer.

Bonus: Hum. At the risk of bringing a wrathful ghost down on my head, I'll WAG Tallulah Bankhead.

Spoiler

1. Amandine Dupin = George Sand?

2. Vincent Furnier = Alice Cooper

3. Karen Blixen = Isaac Dinesen

4. Howard O’Brien = Anne Rice

5. Mary Ann Evans = George 'Not T.S.' Eliot

QOD: Emily Bronte wasn’t published under her real name until after her death. What was the masculine pseudonym she used? The sisters all used Something Bell, the first name being their own initial... Charlotte's would have started with a C... I think it was Currer Bell? I'll go with Currer Bell, Final Answer.

5 Point Bonus - What woman was billed with the title “Miss” in her first major role, as the producers didn’t want viewers to think she was a man?

[wintergreen48]

Dang, dang, dang. I hardly ever do the QoD, and I finally do it today, and I use the wrong sister. Dang dang dang.

QOD: Emily Bronte wasn’t published under her real name until after her death. What was the masculine pseudonym she used? -- Dangit, why didn't you pick Charlotte Bronte? I know she published under "Currer Bell," and that her sisters also published under male "Bell" pseudonyms, but I can't recall what Emily's was. "Edwin Bell" comes to mind, but I'm not even remotely sure, so I'll have to pass. Argh.
