	[ CQ from googling: Charles Qualey (1933-2016), American engineer or something. ] Dennis Quaid (b. 1954), American actor. After EQ there's a big gap for me; actually KQ is the next one I can think of. Edited by Matti - May 16 2018 at 03:05

	Eça de Queiroz (1845 - 1900). Portuguese writer, a giant in the realist style. He's probably the most knwon Portuguese writer after Camoens and Fernando Pessoa,

	Not posting FQ or GQ of unknown persons found by name googling. Actually also this one I found by googling, but I at least I've read a novel by his son. Henri Queffélec (1910 – 1992), French writer and screenwriter, considered a great maritime novelist. The KQ I'm thinking of is an actress who has acted for example astronaut's wife. After that I'll have a gap until P, R and S. Hopefully we won't be stuck for a very long time in Q - gaps are all right! Also feel free to give hints for certain challenging initials.

	Kathleen Quinlan (b. 1954), American film and television actress. Above, I referred to her role in this film: Keep the game going, I'll most likely be off for weekend.

	Q is not a great problem for those from Portugal, Spain & Latin America: lots of Queiroz, Quevedo, Quintana, Quental, Quiroga, etc. Liliana Queiroz (b. 1985). Portuguese model. Not historical but pictorial.

	Oliver Queen (b. 1985), fictional character in the television series Arrow (2012 - ). Actually I googled, I'm not familiar with Arrow. But I just found out my idea for PQ was false: the detective story writer is Quentin Patrick, not Patrick Quentin.

	I found him googling and thought he was an interesting character to be shown here. Peter McQueen (1780 - 1820). Native American chief, mixed blood Irish father and Creek mother, who fought white settlers in the Creek War (1813 - 1814) and later in the First Seminole War (1816 - 1818).

	(Skipping QQ.) Raymond Queneau (1903 – 1976), French novelist, poet, critic and editor. His Exercises of Style (1947) is hilarious, telling the same short and insignificant chain of happenings in 99 different ways!
