Boromir's guess the famous game #387 [Hugh Thompson Jr. is the famous person, hownos wins!]
I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.

Hownos wins with Hugh Thompson Jr., US army soldier who intervened to stop the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam by threatening to open fire on the murderers and evacuating Vietnamese civilians from the area, and then testifying against Calley and the other murderers. For this he spent decades being ostracized and condemned while the war criminals themselves walked free.
