10 Driving Miss Daisy Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Georgia

Miss Daisy is a resident of Atlanta, Georgia. In the opening scene of the film, Miss Daisy is shown wrecking her car. If you look closely at the license plate on the car, it says Georgia.

Answer: Boolie Werthan

Boolie, Miss Daisy's son, is introduced to the audience at the very beginning of the film, right after Miss Daisy wrecks her car. After Miss Daisy wrecks her car, Boolie tries to arrange a driver for her, but she wants no part of it! Dan Aykroyd plays the part of Boolie.

Answer: A can of salmon

Hoke is such an honest person that he comes out and admits to Miss Daisy that he ate a can of her Salmon because the left over pork chops she left for him were kind of stiff! He also stops at the store and buys her another can of salmon. This is the turning point in the film, where Miss Daisy starts trusting Hoke and they grow closer.

Answer: Oscar

This is the scene when Hoke is introduced to the audience. Oscar is a friend of Hoke's. After Hoke helps get Oscar out of the elevator, Oscar introduces Hoke to Boolie. Boolie then ends up hiring Hoke to be Miss Daisy's chauffeur.

Answer: Piggly Wiggly

Miss Daisy is still mistrustful of Hoke in this scene. While she is inside the store, Hoke uses the payphone outside to call Boolie. While he is giving Boolie an update on his situation with Miss Daisy, she is shown looking out the window at Hoke with an irritated expression! I love the vintage Coca Cola advertisement on the side of the Piggly Wiggly facing the parking lot. It helps add to the story's timeline.

Answer: Martin Luther King, Jr.

Miss Daisy was supposed to go listen to this speech with Boolie, but he canceled out on her because of his fear of what his business partners and customers would think. She hints around to Hoke about going with her, but he tells her she should have asked him properly if she really wanted him to go. She ends up sitting by herself, while Hoke waits outside with the car. Hoke is shown listening to the speech on the car radio.

Answer: Jewish

Miss Daisy's religion is mentioned for the first time in the scene where Hoke is asking to drive her to the store. She is walking out of her house and he follows her, saying, " A fine, rich Jewish lady like yourself has no business dragging herself up the steps of no trolley!"

Answer: Mahjong

Miss Daisy is shown playing Mahjong at the beginning of the film, right before Hoke is hired to be her chauffeur. She is also shown playing Mahjong in the scene right before her housekeeper, Idella, passes away.

Answer: Bauer

This is one of the best scenes in the film. Miss Daisy asks Hoke to go place the flowers on the grave of Neil Bauer, and Hoke confesses to Miss Daisy that he doesn't know how to read. She then helps him spell and sound out the name Bauer. He does find the man's grave, and he lets Miss Daisy know how much he appreciates her help.

Answer: Pumpkin Pie

This is the last scene of the movie, and it takes place on Thanksgiving Day. Miss Daisy can't feed herself too well anymore, so Hoke sits down and helps her eat her Thanksgiving pie. It is a very touching scene and it shows the audience just how much Miss Daisy and Hoke mean to one another.
