·See what you can do with this one. A famous person now deceased. Use Google translation for one of the clues. Fido’s to whoever solves this one! Stars on cue (your first and only clue!)

·Clue # 2. The forefinger contacting the pad of the thumb as shown, and “flicking” something is a clue to the middle name of the individual whose identity I seek. Google gives the name for the motion represented by clue # 2.For the third clue you’ll need decide what you see, in English. And I am not asking for a translation of the word “Apple”! It could be a rutabaga for all that matters! The location of the apple is what matters. The location of the apple has to be translated. I’d tell you the particular language you have to translate to, to decide the who the individual is. But I might as well give the answer. Don’t translate to Spanish, as that is not the language. Aw c’mon! This one ain’t that tough (leastwise, that’s what I thought!). I hope an answer will be forthcoming by Tuesday morning as we head ryfor the Rocky Mountains for a few days, and there’s no internet where we are going. Oh! One more clue. This rebus is about a very famous American now deceased. I’ll repeat another clue! Stars await, but I need a correct answer.
Oh yes! The first name of the individual has been determined. The sign at Boot Hill cemetery implies that most buried therein are named John Doe. So John is the first name of the individual.

·The second clue was not intended as a “flip”, but a “fillip”! Admittedly, the word fillip has an archaic definition according to this screen shot. But we ended up with the correct answer. Well done to @Charlemagne1333 and @JimInOz . Between the two of you (with a great deal of help from me), you got it! But you had to work on it!
