Eva, your hint is not "sinking in," so I will take another guess which might be far off. I know the Obamas admire Lincoln very much, so I will guess Michelle Obama.

It's not Michelle Obama, Roger, but the gender is correct.

Hint #2: Quite many men would have loved to catch a glimpse of her from that position

Hint #3: As for one well-known facial feature, she reflects Abraham Lincoln.

Marilyn Monroe?

I agree with Dave.

Brilliant, that is correct:
   
So the final score is as follows:
Roger 11
Laurie 7
Thomas 6
Joe 5
Dave 5
Susan 1
Gene 1

Congrats to Roger for winning this year's championship!!! And thanks to all who participated!
Merry Xmas to all!

Eva and Joe, thank you very much for all the thought, research, effort, etc. you both put into another year of Trivia Advent Calendar. I sure enjoyed participating. Many thanks!

You're welcome, Roger. It's become a forum Christmas tradition Eva started that lots of us look forward to. Congrats on being the Champ, too!

...and thanks to you, Joe, for making it possible (I wouldn't have made it alone) and even more fun this year! Great questions!

Fröhliche Weihnachten, Meine Liebste!!

Danke - ebenfalls ein frohes Fest, Herr Beckert!!!

Another excellent job on a symposium tradition

Agreed, Thomas. I learn so much from members of this forum. Here's to a Happy New Year of learning history!

I'm afraid due to enormous workload and an average of three (comprehensive!) tests every week during semester I will not make it to do the Trivia Advent Calendar as usual - I hope you understand.
However, during Xmas break there will be an urgent need for some divertissement, and I plan on some substitute trivia calendar project then.

All that you contribute is well worth waiting for, Eva.
