Final Jeopardy

If you watch Jeopardy! much, you might notice that a lot of the time they have movie categories, the clues deal mostly with movies made after about 1970 (if not much more recent movies), which isn't much of an advantage for those of us who are fans of the old stuff. As a result, last night's Final Jeopardy was a bit of a surprise.

In the category "20th Century Women", the clue was "This woman won gold medals at the 1928, 1932, and 1936 Winter Olympics, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame." If you enjoy old movies, you probably should be able to get the correct person in the alloted 30 seconds. In the actual game, only one of the three contestants got the correct response, with the other two guessing the same wrong woman. I suppose it shouldn't be too much of a surprise, since both women would have been well before the time of the Jeopardy! contestants.
