Q: Is it true that Patsy from "Absolutely Fabulous" was a Bond Girl once?

Patsy from "Absolutely Fabulous," or Joanna Lumley to her friends in the real world, was indeed one of those prime examples of British glamor: a Bond Girl.

'Bond Girl' is of course a kind of fan-slang term for the women wooed by fictional British superspy James Bond in any of his 22 films.

She appeared as a love interest (as were most of the women in the films) in the 1969 film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the only one featuring George Lazenby as Bond.

Q: What's Jason Alexander doing nowadays? I haven't seen him in a while.

These days Jason Alexander, best known as George Costanza on the landmark '90s sitcom "Seinfeld," is doing some bit roles, some stage stuff and just sort of dabbling.

'Dabbling,' it should be noted, is not the same thing as taking it easy.

For example, in 2012 alone he appeared in a feature film, four shorts, did three series-TV guest spots and hosted his own series on TruTV ("Clipaholics," which only lasted eight episodes).

Chicago P.D., on NBC

Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) heads up District 21's Intelligence Unit, which combats organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and more in this new drama.

Q: Has Snoopy ever had a speaking role?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

He has, but only twice.

Despite having lines in the comic strips themselves, the only sounds to come from Snoopy for the first 20 years he was on television were strange-sounding growls and laughs.

That changed in 1985 with the screen version of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," based on an earlier stage musical. Snoopy actually had some lines in that, both spoken and sung by Robert Towers, who had previously played the role on stage.
