Marni Nixon?
Is it Marni Nixon? Boris Karloff's great aunt must be Anna Leonowens, and of the people who have played her, Nixon meets most of the criteria; she eventually appeared on screen as a nun in the Sound of Music, and catching a killer could refer to her role in West Side Story.

Spin off?
I was thinking about the JFA question above, and noticed that Jodie Foster: The Frankenstein reference stumps me, though. -- ALoan (Talk) 20:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * played "Iris", a prostitute, in Taxi Driver in 1976, when she was aged 14
 * played "Tallulah", a speakeasy singer, in Bugsy Malone in 1976, aged 14
 * played Clarice Starling, FBI agent, in The Silence of the Lambs, in which she catches the killer Buffalo Bill
 * played Sister Assumpta, a nun, in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.

Jodie Foster is correct. Was it the 'speakeasy singer' that gave it away? Warofdreams got the Anna Leonowens reference though so the scores are '''1.5 points to ALoan. 0.5 points to Warofdreams.''' --Spondoolicks 20:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, Anna and the King. Of course.  I was thinking about an actress anyway (Whoopi Goldberg was the first to come to mind for the nun reference, but the other clues did not fit) and I was then looking around JFA for Q.5 and saw that Jodie Foster played a prostitute when the was 14, and the rest fell into place.  I looked at Frankenstein's monster and Boris Karloff, of course, but there was no reference to an aunt in either and I was not aware of the King and I connection. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to mention; the little pre-question hint, "If it's not Wednesday it must be...", refers to Jodie's early role as a voice for the Addams family cartoon, the final word, therefore, being "...Pugsley." --Spondoolicks 15:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
