[Hominidae]

I believe we are at 12 questions, counting my question about 1969.

Is acting this person's primary source of fame, or one of his primary sources of fame?

No (meaning it is not in the same ballpark as the other source(s)).

The games seem to be moving more slowly recently, so I am relaxing rule 5 for this game (two questions can now be followed up by a guess). Up to the next QM if they want to keep this mod.

[Hominidae]

Primarily known for involvement in the arts?

[Aristocrat]

Primarily known for involvement in the arts?

I don't think so, no

(certainly not the core arts like music, painting, sculpture, literature, filmmaking, etc. - I suppose one could keep broadening the term "art" enough to eventually cover what this person is most famous for, but it would be a major stretch in my view)

[DreamTrawler]

Primarily known for athletics or politics?

[Aristocrat]

Primarily known for athletics or politics?

I thought about passing here, but I’ll say yes, one or both of these form a substantial portion of this person’s fame

[Aristocrat]

Since it’s been a few days, I’ll offer up a clue to try to gin up some more interest:

This person is (IMO) substantially more famous than any of the real people since the Babe Ruth round and maybe before (excluding, perhaps, Ringo Starr). Although the answer is US centric. It isn’t meant to be an obscure pick at all.
