She is very famous! Her paintings are exhibited everywhere!

In 1939 few Americans would have been able to tell you anything about Orson Welles other than they remember his name from some scam broadcast in New York. He definitely wasn't a recognizable face except to a few theater goers who really paid attention to off Broadway shows.

And another misguided complaint about it. Where do you people get the impression this site and its quizzes need to cater to you or your desired demographic? Do you go to McDonald's and complain about the lack of sushi? I bet you'd love an America coming to your country and complaining loudly about how dumb it is that they don't have American football on every TV. Because it's entitled when Americans think everything should cater to them, right? But not for you to do the same thing? It's a really good, free website. Don't be such a baby. And hey, there's an option to make your own quizzes. So maybe instead of whining so much, you and the 1,000 other people carping about this can just make your own quizzes about Dutch cartoonists or whatever subject you think is so critically overlooked. Then everyone has what they're looking for. For free. Win-win.
