Dozens of readers responded to Sunday’s “Cool Cohl Katz Contest.”
The Westport stylist to the stars offered her talents — a haircut and makeup application for women, a haircut and style for men — to 3 winners of a contest she and I cooked up.
We asked 3 trivia questions about famous current or past Westport or Weston residents. All of them have been (of course!) Cohl’s clients.
Then we put all the correct answers in a (stylish) hat, and drew 3 lucky winners.
Question #1: This former Westporter started out as a stockbroker. But that’s not where they gained the most fame.
This got the most correct responses: 47. The answer is (of course) Martha Stewart. (The most popular incorrect guess: James Comey).
Congratulations to the winner: Anne Leskow.
Martha Stewart and her former husband Andy, outside their Turkey Hill home.
Question #2: To prepare for his role as an emotionally destroyed soldier in a film that won him an Academy Award, this actor ate only bananas, water and rice for a month.
31 readers knew this was Christopher Walken, in “The Deer Hunter.” (Not Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise, also clients of Cohl’s.)
The winner is: Todd Pines.
Christopher Walken in “The Deer Hunter.”
Question #3: This musician has co-written 14 songs on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”
Incorrect guesses were led by Nile Rodgers and Ashford & Simpson. The correct answer — known by 32 readers — is Keith Richards.
I thought that was a giveaway, because I mentioned “Rolling Stone” magazine. Oh well …
The winner of that prize is: Stacey Henske.

You should have had put in a hat only those who had ALL THREE correct. After all, that was the challenge–answering all three.
At a minimum, you should have a fourth, special selection category for those who guessed correctly all three correctly.
Well, the rules said: “We’ll put all the names in a (stylish) hat, and pull 3 winners. (To clarify: If you answer 1 question correctly, your name will go in 1 time. Two correct answers means you’ll be in the hat twice; 3 = 3.)”
