No.

Free hint: if we were playing hot-and-cold... you would be cold.

It all sounds like Julia Child to me. So that's my free guess.

Apparently cdngooner was one of about 7 people who watched the 1993 animated film "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story". Great job!

I did NOT watch it, I'm afraid. I had it down to her or Joan Didion based on other clues, but couldn't find a movie Joan Didion was in. I IMDB'd Julia Child to find that movie "We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story" and the Wikipedia page told the story about the director voicing her until she was hired.

This was a real detective effort, and a lot of fun. Thank you Spartaculous. I'll start a new one ASAP.

There was a documentary listed on IMDB. She had so many awards and the birth/death dates fit, it was a long shot guess, the first thing that popped into my head. Congrats to Gooner for getting it right!

I am genuinely impressed that you had Julia Child on your radar at this point of the game (even before the film clues). Again, well done.

She came on the radar as I scanned the list of winners of the National Book Prize. There were so few that fit the demographic criteria, and were likely famous enough to have been in an movie.

I narrowed it down to Joan Didion and Julia Child only to find it was all over! :eyeroll:
