Peter Ostrum has only one acting credit to his career, as one of the stars of what 1971 film? He later became a veterinarian and had a brief surge of popularity when a 2005 remake was released.
Comprised primarily of former Whigs who were hoping to avoid secessionism, which U.S. political party put forth its one and only presidential candidate - John C. Bell - in the election of 1860?
Which university's men's basketball team took full advantage of its first (and so far, only) bid in the NCAA tournament, becoming the first #15 seed to reach the Sweet Sixteen?
Although his style could be considered one of the greatest influences on rock music, Jimi Hendrix scored only one Top 20 single on the US Billboard charts, with which song, included on Electric Ladyland and itself a cover of a Bob Dylan tune?
Which actor, known primarily for a single role spanning TV and movies across four decades, hosted the VH1 special "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders" in 2002?
Only one example of the Treskilling Yellow is known to exist, and it last sold at auction in 2010 for approximately $2.3 million. What type of object is it?
This baseball player could better be described as a "no-hit wonder," given that he made only one plate appearance in 1951 and was walked on four straight pitches - not surprising, given that he stood at only 3 feet, 7 inches. Who was this dwarf that proudly wore uniform number "1/8" for the St. Louis Browns?
Which baroque composer's one "hit" was featured during the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles to Diana Spencer?
Also known as a "palm pistol," what name is given to the 19th-century single-shot firearm used by John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln?
Which songstress, who scored her only hit with a 1977 cover of a Kasey Cisyk song, quipped the following: "I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the One-Hit Wonder Wall. I'm still very troubled by the fact that I'm in the hall and my dad isn't."
Several film adaptations have been attempted for what "one hit" novel by John Kennedy Toole? Such actors as John Belushi, John Candy, and Chris Farley have been touted for the lead role, and their premature deaths have led some to claim the role is cursed.
This image represents the flag of what nation that enjoyed its "one hit" of independence from September 1938 until June 1939, when it became a province of Turkey? This brief period of independence incidentally narrows the timeframe for the events in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
