    Ted DeVita (1962–May 27, 1980) was a victim of severe aplastic anemia who was forced to live in a sterile hospital room for eight and a half years. His story, along with that of Texas patient David Vetter, was used to create the 1976 made-for-TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. In the film, John Travolta played "Tod," a teenaged boy who lived in a sterile bubble due to illness. Ted was 14 when the film, unauthorized by his family, was released.

    On the few occasions Ted left his room, he was enclosed in a spacesuit and helmet, with an air pump that expelled pathogens.

    The best way to explain this quiz is to give an example. 'Out of Africa' + 'Sleepers'. The answer is: 'Kramer vs. Kramer'. Meryl Streep was in 'Out of Africa', and Dustin Hoffman was in 'Sleepers'. They were in 'Kramer vs. Kramer' together. Good luck!
