Andy or Jenny. One boy name, one girl name.
Roman Polanski. "Rosemary's Baby" was Polanski's very first American film. He is from Poland.
Actor. "He was in 'Luther' and 'Nobody Loves an Albatross' and a lot of television plays and commercials." Rosemary tells anyone who asks about his profession.
Mia Farrow. Mia Farrow reportedly received her divorce papers on the set of "Rosemary's Baby". Who was she divorcing? Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra.
Tanis root. This is the same necklace Terri wears at the beginning of the film. The director made it a point to have it stand out on Terri's lifeless body after her suicidal jump from her apartment window.
| What happens to Guy's actor friend that allows Guy to step in and take over his role? | Rosemary's Baby
|
He goes blind. This is one of the first hints that something weird might be going on. After a dinner date, Guy comes home with his friend's tie, and now that the Castevets have an item of his in their posession, they are able to cast a spell and make him go blind.

In the basement. Rosemary asks Terri if she's "...the famous actress Victoria Vetri..." The name of the actress who plays Terri is Victoria Vetri.
| What was the real name of the apartment building in which the movie was shot? | Rosemary's Baby
|
The Dakota Building. The apartment was renamed "The Bramford" for the movie. In a strange coincidence, Polanski's pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Charles Manson gang. The gang named their murder spree "Helter Skelter", after the Beatles song. In 1980, John Lennon was murdered outside The Dakota Building.
| What is the name of the book that Hutch gives Rosemary before he dies? | Rosemary's Baby
|
"All of Them Witches" ("The Haunted", "The Hunted", "Witchcraft: A Socio-cultural Perspective"). This title is later repeated when Rosemary is in the phone booth on her delivery date, trying desperately to contact Dr. Hill. It is the first major indication of her paranoia, and is (in my opinion) the climax of the film.
| What is Guy's response when Rosemary comes home with her new Vidal Sasoon haircut? | Rosemary's Baby
|
"What's that?". The fact that she cuts her hair in the middle of the film adds an element of reality to the situation. Rosemary goes from being an innocent-looking, happy young girl to a ghastly, very sick-looking woman.
Steak and cake. One of my favorite scenes is when Minnie is voraciously eating the grotesquely unappealing cake. Her mannerisms are so extravagant and fantastically farcical.
The ticking of a clock. While many of these noises are commonly heard in the movie, the predominant one is indubitably the ticking of the bedside clock. It seeps into Rosemary's dreams, and can be heard whenever there is a scene in the bedroom (which is the most frequent setting).
Tony Curtis. This scene, which happens to be my favorite, has a unique quality to it. Polanski was playing a little joke on Mia and used Tony Curtis, a friend of hers, as the voice of Donald Baumgard. The fact that Farrow was acting out the scene, as well as trying to place the familiar voice, adds an element of curtness and intrigue to the dialog.
| What does Rosemary say to herself in the mirror when she's putting the Tanis Root necklace into her vanity drawer? | Rosemary's Baby
|
"Tanis, anyone?". A great, cooky scene. Polanski is brilliant.
