3K: a "what huh" but I got it

So far so good

I'd read or heard about 7K Q ans

I'd read or heard about 7K Q ans

When the question is about makeup and one choice is an Eddie Murphy movie (The Nutty Professor), his movie is a likely answer.

In at least 6 of his movies, he has played several characters, including women and old men:
• Norbit (2007): Norbit/Rasputia/Mr. Wong
• Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000): Professor Sherman Klump/Buddy Love/Cletus ‘Papa’ Klump/Young Cletus Klump/Anna Pearl ‘Mama’ Jensen Klump/Ida Mae ‘Granny’ Jensen/Ernie Klump, Sr./Lance Perkins
• Bowfinger (1999): Kit Ramsey/Jeffernson ‘Jiff’ Ramsey
• The Nutty Professor (1996): Professor Sherman Klump/Buddy Love/Cletus ‘Papa’ Klump/Anna Pearl ‘Mama’ Jensen Klump/Ida Mae ‘Granny’ Jensen/Ernie Klump, Sr./Lance Perkins
• Vampire in Brooklyn (1995): Maximillian/Preacher Pauly/Guido
• Coming to America (1988): Prince Akeem/Clarence/Randy Watson/Saul

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: easy

3,000: easy

5,000: easy

7,000: The Nutty Professor was the only one of the four that came out in 1986.

So I'd be facing 10K with all three lifelines intact.
