Did you ever read Spy magazine from the 1980s/90s?

Question

If so, define The Spy List please....

Sorry. I dont understand your answer. The March 1990 list was Roseanne Barr, Milton Berle, Kathy Boudin, Billy Carter, Karen Finley, Eric Goode, Buddy Hackett, Cleon Jones, Jim McMahon, Bette Midler, Jim Morrison, Jack Nicholson, Lance Rentzel, Meryl Streep as Karen Silkwood, and Robin Williams. Are you saying that there is a common and easily identifiable link amongst all these people and that is the point of the List--to identify that link?

Answer 1

The Spy List was its monthly blind item gossip column in the form of a puzzle. Often they were rather easy to figure, usually thanks to a fictional character whose well-known feature or action who provided the clue that defined the group into which all of the names were corralled.
