2. With which branch of the service was Sean Connery affiliated from 1947-1950?

Answer: Royal Navy

After World War II, Sean Connery enlisted in the Royal Navy. While in the Navy, he got two tattoos. One says, "Mum and Dad" and the other says "Scotland Forever". He received a medical discharge and began his professional career; one of his jobs was modeling. During a body building session he heard that there were auditions for a play called "South Pacific".

He earned a role in the play and worked his way up from a Seabee to a starring role. Seriously, he was almost a body builder before he worked in five James Bond movies beginning with "Dr. No" in 1962.

5. Even in death, he gets no respect. What late comedian's tombstone reads "There goes the neighborhood"?

Answer: Rodney Dangerfield

Rodney Dangerfield (1921 - 2004) was born Jacob Rodney Cohen in Brooklyn, New York. His trademark line was "I don't get no respect!" After years of struggle to succeed as a stand-up comedian, an appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1967 helped to launch his career.

He became a headliner in Las Vegas, and was one of Johnny Carson's favorite guests on "The Tonight Show." In the 1980s, he launched a successful film career, starring in many hit movies, such as "Caddyshack," "Back to School," and "Easy Money." He kept his sense of humor to the end. On August 24, 2004, he was admitted to the hospital for heart surgery.

When asked how long he would be in the hospital, he replied "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half." Unfortunately, he passed away from complications following the surgery on October 5, 2004.

Answer: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow has acted in nearly 50 movies, but is perhaps best known for her Oscar winning role in "Shakespeare in Love". Gwyneth named her daughter Apple because "apples are whole, sweet and crisp". Her son, Moses, was named after a song her rocker husband, Chris Martin, wrote for her.

9. Before Danny DeVito ascended the ladder to fame as an actor, what was his first usually opposite gender related job?

Answer: A beautician

Born in 1944, the multi-talented Danny DeVito is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, producer and director. Of Italian descent and with the beautiful soulful eyes to prove it, Danny has two older sisters. After graduating from school in 1962, Danny first worked, of all places, as a beautician in his sister Angela's salon. During his two year stint there, he became a licensed beautician.

His sister, he said in a "Foundation" interview available in Archive of American Television, made him wear a white smock and a blue smock for the job, but, "I sure as hell wasn't going to wear a pink one!" When his sister decided to include make-up in her work, she sent Danny to do a make-up course at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and the rest is history. During his long and successful career, Danny has appeared in some 30 television shows, over 90 movies, 2 video games, 3 music videos, and has directed or produced over thirty other movies. With the ability to play both drama and comedy, one of my favourite productions is his role as Dr Larry Arbogast, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dr Alex Hesse, where the two scientists develop a new fertility drug, Expectane, and try it out on Alex to see if it works on humans.

It does. He becomes pregnant. The results are one extremely funny and lovable feel good laugh from start to - delivery.
