I'm brushing up for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire again. Last time I took (and passed [Wink]

) their audition exam, there was a question I didn't know the answer to that unfortunately I don't remember well enough to Google.

It was about an artist of some sort . . . either a makeup artist or an architect or an interior decorator or hair stylist or something like that. He has published books, and his name begins with the letters "Au____" and contains two syllables, I think. I couldn't remember his name because I'd never heard of him.

Actually, I'm not 100% certain it was male, though I think so.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Well, gee, that narrows it down... [Wink]

Can't help you there; I don't really know any of those categories. This is why I can never get on these shows. I might be good at movie trivia and other things, but ask me something about fashion and I'm a blithering idiot.

I always liked that word: blithering.

That might be it!

I own one of his books, he is (was?-I think he died) a make-up artist.

How do you sign up to take the audition exam?

I remember back when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was at its heyday with Regis, my dad called a number and had to answer a question to qualify. Unfortunately, he had no idea what order five different spoons are placed in. After that, my dad never tried again.

However, he always wins our family games of trivial pursuit, and I think he would do good at Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Now that the show is less popular, is there another way to qualify?
