Basketball and Perry Mason are correct. The Spruce Goose was built to carry a lot more than that.

10 - Gene Autrey's horse was Champion. Correct
2 - Princess Diana's nemesis was Camilla Parker Bowles
4 - was NOT Mary Magdelane
and 3 - even more than that could be carried on the Spruce Goose.

And just for the record I never have and never will google a question to post the answer. Oops also I am not saying anyone else is.

That's an unwritten rule - you're not allowed to google the answers! LOL

Fortunately, I get the answers from the same source as I get the questions - but usually I choose the questions that I MIGHT be able to answer without checking the answers.
Note, I said USUALLY!

OK - so think about those Star Wars figures. What colour WERE all of them?
And, there was a famous star who wanted badly to remain incognito - she was probably best known in the 30's.
The song was by a Canadian.
Enough hints!

Hints coming - as the weekend wears down!
The woman buried in Milan lived in South America.
The "ball buster" was better known as a singer - and some Broadway, I think. Evergreen comes to mind when I think of her.
The Spruce Goose was designed for over 600 - but under 1000.

So South American woman-Evita -don't know her last name.
Ball buster Barbra Streisand? I think she is known for the wacky riders on her performance contracts.

Slowfood got "Evita" - Eva Peron; and also Barbra Streisand.
Just the capacity of the Spruce Goose still unanswered - and I'll tell you that the answer is somewhere between 749 and 751!
