11. As a boy, this painter came to America to escape the Armenian Genocide – which was a fortunate thing for both him and the development of Abstract Expressionism.
MARC ROTHKO

I think this is ARSHILE GORKY.

Rothko was from one of the Balkan countries (Latvia, maybe)?

1. Although Henry James described the works of this 19th century novelist as “large, loose, baggy monsters,” he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature five times, and the Nobel Peace Prize three times, and why he never won is still a mystery.
MAXIM GORKY

I think the original answer of LEO TOLSTOY was right.

When I wrote "Gorky," I was referring to the painter in #11. Sorry for any confusion.

90. This astronaut was the oldest person to walk on the moon.

This is a guess but didn't ALAN SHEPHERD walk on the moon in one of the Apollo missions in the early 1970s? Since Shepherd was around in 1961, he could be it.

I didn't add a whole lot, but made some corrections and added two or three answers.

On the latest consolidation the following answers are not what I was looking for:

12, 15, 31, 32, 35, 38, 40, 58, 60, 68, and 87 (which has since been corrected.)

In one case the wrong answer works as well as the right one.

Of the answers with questions marks, only 45 and 56 are not what I was looking for.

The one question with multiple answers includes the right one.

All the answers added since the consolidation are correct.

On the latest consolidation the following answers are not what I was looking for:

12, 15, 31, 32, 35, 38, 40, 58, 60, 68, and 87 (which has since been corrected.)

In one case the wrong answer works as well as the right one.

Of the answers with questions marks, only 45 and 56 are not what I was looking for.

The one question with multiple answers includes the right one.

All the answers added since the consolidation are correct.

Throwing a couple against the wall.

38. A descendant of Charlemagne, he was elected to succeed the last Carolingian king; his own descendants would rule France for the better part of 800 years.

Maybe HUGH CAPET


45. He began appearing in an eponymous series of film shorts in 1945, an eponymous Harvey comic book in 1952, and an eponymous television show in 1963.

How about CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST


One more:

31. On a night honoring this left wing, Philadelphia Flyers fans were given wigs resembling his signature bushy hair.
BILL BARBER

Frank said Barber was wrong, so I am throwing a SCOTT HARTNELL wig into the ring.

This time, the clue in the title was a lot more straightforward than in most of Frank's puzzles.

49. Gene Pitney + 82. Hugo Hackenbush = Gene Hackman (Popeye)
38. Hugh Capet + 95. Jesse Jackson = Hugh Jackman (Sydney)
99. Warren Harding + 28. Paul Rudnick = Warren Rudman (New Hampshire)
40. Alan Turing + 9. Hyman Rickover = Alan Rickman (Hans)
37. Harvey Schmidt + 32. Hernan Cortes = Harvey Corman (Conway)
96. Jane Goodall + 36. Andrew Wyeth = Jane Wyman (Belinda)
95. Jesse Jackson + 25. Allan Pinkerton = Jesse Pinkman (Aaron)
83. Frank Norris + 30. Norman Borlaug - Frank Borman (Apollo)
6. Greg Lemond + 83. Frank Norris = Greg Norman (Shark)
2. Walt Disney + 52. Eli Whitney = Walt Whitman (Grass)
66. Felicity Lemon + 29. Ariana Huffington = Felicity Huffman (Housewife)
15. Dennis Gabor + 74. Caesar Rodney = Dennis Rodnman (Detroit)
77. Harry Fosdick + 4. Justin Trudeau = Harry Truman (Dewey)

I've got to believe that Marty Robbins goes with someone whose name begins with Feld... for Marty Feldman (Igor)
Also, there's a Lillian to go with Joseph Heller for Lillian Hellman (Foxes)

Shame on me for misspelling Harvey Korman's name. But the Corman we're probably looking for to go with Hernan Cortes is Roger Corman (AIP), which means there's a Roger somewhere.

And one more director shows up.

72. Robert Sherwood + 48. John Altgeld = Robert Altman (Nashville)

I have lots of relatives named Korman. From the old country (they're in New York, Pennsylvania, Argentina and Israel now). No relation to Harvey though.

George Eastman (Rochester) must be here somewhere too.
