Round 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. 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 name resulted in her murder by her husband. A film quote involving this first name is graffitied on a bridge near a Mormon temple on the Capital Beltway in D.C. The first (*) Black Best Actress nominee shares this first name with the lesbian director of studio comedies like Dance, Girl, Dance. Marcy tells Paul that her ex used to scream a quote about this name during sex in After Hours. A skyphrase demands the “surrender” of a character with this first name, who inspired an 80s slang code for gay men referencing her “friends.” For 10 points, give this first name of Judy Garland’s character in The Wizard of Oz. ■END■
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.)
