All right! I knew all those hours of misspent youth would pay off some day.

I'm out tonight so I'll give everyone the rest of the day off and start the next game tomorrow morning.

 I'm probably just going to open the door for someone to gazump me but I'll take a stab.
It would be a big problem if she was (no)
Question: Is she a porn star?

Conditional guess: If yes, Asia Carrera.
Yes ; no. Since all the other rules are broken if you want to go for a 3rd in a row, I guess that’s ok.

As mentioned, this person achieved a notable amount of crossover fame (particularly for her niche), including appearances on numerous mainstream films and tv shows, and a NY Times best seller.

No

As I said the game can continue with extra questions (so feel free to guess again, Hom). The pick I guess was more tricky than anticipated but this person did achieve some then-notable amount of mainstream fame outside their niche.

I don’t want to hold this up all weekend so if it is still unsolved around noon PT I will give a more substantive clue that likely solves it for the more hardcore players.

Wow, I actually thought Spartaculous had that one.

 Free guess: Mara Wilson
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.
