Final Jeopardy!
OSCAR-WINNING ACTORS - Each of the 3 films for which he won an Oscar, from 1975, 1983 & 1997, also garnered a Best Lead Actress Oscar
Joe and Lauren were correct on FJ. Joe added $6,300 to win with $22,900.
Odds and ends
Clue selection strategy: When Jeff picked DD2, Mayim mentioned his "uncanny" ability to find them, as at that point Jeff had selected five consecutive DDs going back to the previous game. However, Jeff missed finding DD3, as he had selected from the bottom two rows in that category to open the round, but it was under the $800 clue.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one could name the company named for its 2 founders introduced the first pocket scientific calculator as Hewlett-Packard.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is 1881? DD2 - Who was Ginsberg? DD3 - Who was MacArthur? FJ - Who is Jack Nicholson?
