Billy Wilder - crosswords

Esse print é de uma postagem do ator/humorista Bruno Mazzeo em sua página no Twitter. Ele publicou uma citação bem legal do cineasta Billy (ou Billie) Wilder.

Uma seguidora do ator comentou: “@paticamalvar: @bmazzeo Você está famoso mesmo, hein! Já virou até pergunta no Coquetel...rs”

As palavras-cruzadas podem ser consideradas indicador de fama? Para o cineasta Billy Wilder (Oscar em 1960 por The Apartment) sim. Aqui no Brasil, a Coquetel tem publicações de jogos destinadas ao mundo das celebridades: TV Sucesso, TV Astro e TV Show.

Procurando na internet, achei duas cruzadinhas do New York Times (em inglês) que se referem ao Billiy Wilder. Não sei se são as que ele comentou, mas são as únicas no arquivo de puzzles do jornal.
