Announcing A New Contest!

The answer to yesterday’s question is the amazing, lovable, and beautiful Audrey Hepburn. One of the hints in the blurb about Hepburn was about a movie, WAIT UNTIL DARK. For you younger ones if you haven’t seen that movie, go rent it for a night, put your kids to bed, pop some popcorn, snuggle up to your spouse on the couch, and don’t hold the popcorn on your lap because there is one scene in there that will cause you to jump and the popcorn will go flying. It is a movie without blood or bad language and despite that one of the most frightening movies that you will ever see.

I am announcing a new contest on The Dahn Report. It will start on August 1, 2009 at 7 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time and will end on August 5, 2009 at 7 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Anyone that has ever posted a comment on The Dahn Report since its inception or anyone that posts a comment on The Dahn Report between now and August 1, 2009 at 7 AM Pacific Daylight Time will be an eligible participant. Eligible participants will be allowed one entry and one entry only. Because this time only one entry is allowed the ante is upped. The winning entry will get to choose their $50 gift card from the following gift cards: Starbucks, Baja Fresh, Red Robin, Outback, Macy’s Nordstrom, Old Navy, and Home Depot. Second place will get to choose a $25 gift card from the aforementioned gift cards. The test will consist of thirty question among numerous subjects including BUT NOT LIMITED to trivia, who am I, where am I, what do these three things have in common, about items posted on The Dahn Report maybe even about things about me you have learned about me or other posters on The Dahn Report. Because the prize value has been upped the questions may very well be harder than they were on previous contests.

Today’s Who Am I? I was born in 1913 and died in 2000. I was born as Gretchen in Salt Lake City, Utah but at confirmation changed my name to Michaela. I did use the name Gretchen in my first film, but changed my name to an easier name to pronounce after a couple of films. After moving to California both of my sisters worked as child actresses. I won three Emmys, two Golden Globes, and one Oscar. The owner of my The Dahn Report did help prepare my tax return one year when he was working for a CPA firm in the Los Angeles area.

At times in my career I worked hard making sever or eight movies a year. Whitney Houston once starred in a remake of one of my movies. From 1953 to 1961 I starred in a television show that was titled with my name. My sweeping" trademark appearance at the beginning of each show was to appear dramatically in various high fashion evening gowns. She returned at the program's conclusion to restate to the viewer the moral of the story just seen. (My introductions and conclusions to my television shows, which were widely satirized at the time, are not rerun on television because I had it legally stipulated that they not be; because I didn't want to be seen in "outdated" wardrobe and hairstyles.)

I had an affair with the famous Clark during which I became pregnant. I hid the pregnancy at the time and had the baby in Europe. I said the child was adopted and she then took the last name of my second husband, Lewis. I also later had an affair with the actor that the owner of The Dahn Report’s father was often confused with. Spenser was well-known at the time and did several movies with the famous Kathryn.

I am the Godmother of Danny’s daughter, Marlo. After I retired from movies I dedicated my time to charity, often working together with my friend Jane Wyman, My daughter wrote a biography called UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE, during which she states she didn’t know Clark was her real dad until 1958.

I died of ovarian cancer in Santa Monica, California in 2000. Who Am I?

May this be a winning day for all of you! Are you ready to have a contest that may include questions that you can’t Google?
