John Travolta. This is an interesting fact that I discovered when I was researching information for this quiz. Since I read that piece of information, I have been trying to picture John Travolta playing these parts, and I can't! It's just not working.
Runaway Bride. This movie was very good, although still not as awesome as 'Pretty Woman'. Richard and Julia are a great pair on screen.
Sommersby . I have seen this movie a total of 5 times, and each time I catch things that I never really paid attention to. This is one of his best movies. If you haven't had the opportunity to see it, you really should rent it. It is excellent.
| In 1996, Richard played a lawyer who helped an altar boy that was accused of murder, what is the name of the movie? | A Gere - ed Up Quiz
|
Primal Fear. Richard did an excellent job in this movie, although the actor who portrayed the altar boy really stole the whole show out from under him. I do believe Richard Gere should have been nominated for an Oscar for his performance.
2. After just two years he dropped out of college and made his way to Cape Cod, where he landed a job as a member of the Provincetown Playhouse which cast him the leads in 'The Great God Brown', 'Camino Real', 'The Collection', 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' as well as a few others.

a choreographer. Richard was nominated in 1994 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Special in the TV special, 'And the Band Played On'.
1986. In an interview in the 'Shambhala Sun', he states when he met the Dalai Lama for the first time, 'It completely changed my life the first time I was in the presence of His Holiness. No question about it. It wasn't like I felt, 'Oh, I'm going to give away all my possessions and go to the monastery now,' but it quite naturally felt that this was what I was supposed to do-work with these teachers, work within this lineage, learn whatever I could, bring myself to it. In spite of varying degrees of seriousness and commitment since then, I haven't really fallen out of that path.'
'Pilgrim'. His book of Tibetan photos was published in October 1997 by Bulfinch Press. This is the first book by actor and accomplished photographer Richard Gere. It's a haunting portrayal of the Tibetan Buddhist community evoked in photographs. Richard is also a founding member of Tibet House, a nonprofit organization based in NYC's Greenwich Village dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan culture.
1. Richard only has one younger brother, born in 1957. He has an older sister, born in 1946 and two younger sisters, one born in 1954 and the other born in 1959.
1967. He graduated from North Syracuse Central High School and was a member of the student council, gymnastics team, lacrosse, and ski team.
Razzle-Dazzle. "Jazz" is the great opening number; it's performed by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zelwegger. "Mr. Cellophane" is a nice number, too - but it's not by Gere. The movie doesn't have much of a plot, but it's fun to watch.
Jodie Foster. Fawcett was with Gere in "Dr T. & the Women". Basinger was with him in "Final Analysis"; Zelwegger was with him in "Chicago". It's a curious (and somewhat flat) movie.
| Gere starred in "Mothman Prophecies". Where did the mothman occurrences supposedly take place? | Movies of Richard Gere
|
West Virginia. The story - which is said to be fact-based - deals with incidents that are said to have happened in West Virginia. It's an incredible story - if it's true.
New York City. Back in the Speakeasy days of the roaring 20's, there was "The Cotton Club" in New York City. (The Club did well; the movie didn't.)
| Gere plays a psychiatrist in "Final Analysis". One of his patients deceives him into believing that she is having a particular dream. In reality, where does the dream come from? | Movies of Richard Gere
|
It's a dream by one of Freud's patients. Uma Thurman plays the patient; Kim Basinger plays her sister. Thurman's "dream" is actually borrowed from Freud's story of "Irma".
Brooke Adams. Thurman was in "Final Analysis"; Winger was in "An Officer and a Gentleman"; Roberts was in "Pretty Woman". This a beautifully photographed movie - but the story drags.
Flier. Gere starred with Debra Winger and Lou Gossett, Jr. It's one of Gere's best roles and one of his best movies.
Diane Lane. Stone starred with Gere in "Intersection". Jones starred with him in "Chicago"; Hunt was in "Dr. T. & the Women".
Legends of the Fall. Three of the choices are dramas which include Gere in the cast. "Legends" includes Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins in the cast, but not Gere.
A Perfect Murder. Again, three of the choices are dramas that include Gere in the cast.
"Murder" stars Michael Douglas.
