Packet 3: Tossup 15

In a film by a director with this first name, a wardrobe malfunction motivates a burlesque star to critique her audience’s male gaze and start a fight with her co-star Bubbles. (15[1])In To Wong Foo, drag queen Noxeema Jackson idolizes an actress with this first name. As depicted in Bob Fosse’s film Star 80, Peter Bogdanovich’s affair with a Playboy model with this first (-5[1])name (15[2])resulted in her murder (15[1])by her husband. (15[2])A film quote involving this first name is graffitied on a bridge near a Mormon temple on the Capital Beltway in D.C. (15[1])The first (*) Black Best Actress nominee shares this first name with the (-5[1])lesbian director of studio comedies like Dance, Girl, Dance. (10[1])Marcy tells Paul that her (10[1])ex used to scream a quote about this name during sex in After Hours. (10[1])A skyphrase demands the “surrender” (10[1])of a character with this first name, who inspired an 80s slang code for gay men referencing her “friends.” (10[1])For 10 points, give this first name of Judy Garland’s (10[2])character in The Wizard of Oz. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Dorothy [or Dorothy Arzner; or Dorothy Stratten; or Dorothy Dandridge; or Dorothy Gale; or “Surrender Dorothy”; accept friends of Dorothy; prompt on FOD; prompt on Donald by asking “what was the original name in the graffiti before it was redone?”] (The “Surrender Dorothy” graffiti was redone as “Surrender Donald” in 2016 upon Trump’s election.)
