Balboa Park Double

I headed out this afternoon for a few more miles around Balboa Park. Meagan and I lounged around the park this afternoon taking in some sun and reading our books. I'm halfway through Omnivore's Dilemma and Meagan is on her ninth book of the trip. Remember, books don't help in board game skills. Last night she jumped out to an early lead in Trivial Pursuit, capturing a couple of pies within the first few rolls. I patiently caught and gained a one pie advantage by the time we decided to stop playing. We kept getting questions that only our parents would know. The worst category of the Genus Edition 1955 (I'm not sure what year it is from, but it's outdated) is Entertainment. Let's see if you can get these:

What was the nickname of black dancer Bill Robinson?
What actress was the top box-office draw during WWII?
What couple lived at 148 Bonnie Meadow Road, New Rochelle, NY?
Whose legs were featured on TV's Richard Diamond?
Who portrayed the doomed schoolteacher in The Birds?

The run was fine. I did two loops around the park.

You couldn't get these? Don't you have an Ivy league education? Oh, right, not a lot of classes about Mary Tyler Moore at Brown...
