12a Hooker should be good at it: h?e?i?g. 23a Big Daddy's boys, Brick and Gooper, clip it to a tea: p???i?t. Presumably this relates to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but I can't work it out. 24d Baldwin's southern lady was sadly alone: ??o?a. I'm assuming this is James Baldwin, reads as if it's an anagram of "alone", which gives me "Enola" (which would make the third letter of23a E) - the only Enola I know of is the Enola Gay!
