I was 2/3 on DD, and got FJ.
I had to chuckle at Jennie Jerome, because my hospital when I was in med school was at the corner of Henry Street in Brooklyn, while her house was just down the block! It had an historical marker on it, but I do not recall if it is a National Historic Landmark.
Howard, even though it was 30 years ago, was the Jeopardy! set cold? I always tend to think it is, as you rarely see anyone with short sleeves (Amy Schneider being an exception). Not to be crass or crude, but, I think Leslie showed it.
Paolo was running away with the game till Ian made a valiant charge in the late stages. Ultimately, he blew Final so it was for naught. Until Ian came back, both he and Leslie were stuck in reverse.
Helped to know the Suez Crisis was in 1957 which made that DD easy. 3rd one was pretty much a gimme. Kept my perfect FJ record intact for the new season, although I really thought it was Churchill. And I’m old enough to know the Robert Stack character. Wasn’t too hard to figure out the ill-fated couple in the She Wrote That stumper.
On the Jeopardy FB page last night, I mentioned that the Queen clue was easy and right up my alley. One of the likes I got was from none other than Ian Morrison, the only player to get it right.
Faye Dunaway read that whole poem in the 1967 movie co-starring Warren Beatty
Hmmmm………..I thought that some of the clues were rather tough in today’s game. Anyways, regarding the FJ, I thought that the phrase in question might have been pertaining to Mata Hari. Whatever the case, I couldn’t come up with anything.
We almost got our first DD wipeout of the season.
