Not the genre this person is most well known for. But getting the genre is probably where I would focus!

If I were interpreting the question very broadly and/or very literally, I could say yes, but that would be inconsistent with my comments in prior threads.

Adopting an "how would the hypothetical average person respond to this question" standard, the answer is a pretty strong no.

Back to the game from a week away. Got to say, as I read the last two subjects, and the first few questions of this game, I was hoping it was going to be Boris Karloff.

Ever won Oscar or Golden Globe?

Using the wikipedia definition of these genres and aforementioned hypothetical "average person," no. But at least one of these I suppose you could argue yes.

No

Edit: The wikipedia part may be unintentionally misleading, may be best to ignore it. One or both of these is a significantly closer call than the other genres guessed so far but I still think there is something distinct that hasn't been guessed yet.

Not her

At 17 questions I'll say this: I realize there is somewhat of a tradition of not actually following the endgame rules; maybe the person I chose has made things a little harder than anticipated (compared to my last round, which was a quickie). Rather than give explicit hints that turn this into a Wiki race, I'll just allow additional questions beyond 20 if necessary.
