Here's Bonus Question 34 and its clues:

1. I have the same name as a famous nurse from British history.

2. I was born on the same day that the ship's bell from the ship Lutine was salvaged and hung in the lobby of Lloyd's of London.

3. before I married my husband, I dated the young author of The Importance of Being Ernest.

4. My husband, whom I married the same year that Cleopatra's Needle arrived in London and the same year that the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened, had the same first name as a famous U.S. President whose face appears on a U.S. coin and a U.S. bill.

5. My husband became famous as a writer himself, writing one of the most famous horror books of all time,

6. His book spawned many copycat films.  Long after he died, I was the executor for his will and brought a lawsuit against the makers of one film that attempted to use his ideas without giving him proper credit or paying any fee for using his ideas.

7. When I won my copyright infringement suit, I was nearly able to destroy all existing copies of the film.  The fact that it even exists today is due to the fact that a couple slipped by.

Who was I, and what was my maiden name?
