From Quiz Fractured Funny People

Answer: Eddie Izzard

Eddie Izzard is a British comedian and actor. Dyslexic, he rarely works from a script, preferring a stream-of-consciousness approach. John Cleese once referred to him as "the lost Python". For something completely different, in 2009 he ran 43 marathons in 51 days for the charity Sport Relief despite having never run in a marathon before.

From Quiz Sorting Celebrities

Answer: Jodie Foster

Alicia "Jodie" Foster was born on the 19th of November, 1962, in Los Angeles, California. As a prominent child star, she appeared in numerous television shows and adverts before hitting it big with a role in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" (1976), as child prostitute, Iris. Moreover unlike many other child stars, Foster continued to enjoy success as an adult, eventually earning herself two Best Actress Academy Awards, for "The Accused" (1988) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991). An intelligent individual, she also attended Yale University, where she earned herself a degree in Literature. In addition to this, her ability to speak fluent French led to her dubbing herself in numerous French language versions of her own films. However as a direct result of her success in "Taxi Driver" (1976), Foster attracted the attention of an unstable man named John Hinckley, Jr. who hounded her relentlessly. On the 30th of March, 1981, his obsession took a turn for the worst when he attempted to assassinate then President Ronald Reagan in order to impress her. Thankfully, President Reagan recovered from his injuries, which included internal bleeding and a punctured lung.

From Quiz Sorting Celebrities

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

Norma Jeane Mortenson, aka Marilyn Monroe, was born on the 1st of June, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. Despite having had a troubled home life, and a mother who was eventually institutionalised due her declining mental health, Norma Jeane carved out an enormously successful film career for herself, under the now iconic stage name, Marilyn Monroe. After securing several non-speaking parts in various 20th Century Fox films, Monroe was finally cast in a major role in 1948's "Ladies of the Chorus", for which she was commended by the majority of the film's reviewers. Even so, it was another two years before she secured the role in "The Asphalt Jungle" that would reignite her career, and truly set her on the path to stardom, Following this, Monroe's career went from strength to strength, and was considerably boosted by the many pin-up shots that she allowed photographers like Andre de Dienes to take of her. Meanwhile Monroe's personal life was also taking off, following her divorce from her first husband, James Dougherty, and by 1954 she was married to baseball superstar Joe DiMaggio. However this was the not Monroe's final marriage, and some eleven years later she married American playwright, Arthur Miller. Tragically, on the 5th of August, 1962, when she was just thirty-six years old, Marilyn Monroe died of a barbiturate overdose, leading many to speculate that she had either taken her own life, or had been murdered. The sensationalism surrounding her death has never waned in the years since her passing, and many conspiracy theorists continue to insist that she was indeed murdered.

From Quiz Celebrity Rhyme Time - Classic Edition II

Answer: loan Joan

Born Lucille Fay LeSueur, Joan Crawford began her career as a flapper in the silent era. Her career had many ups and downs, as she moved from Queen of the Movies in the 1930s to "box office poison". But the film "Mildred Pierce" (1945) proved to be a major comeback and won her the Best Actress Oscar. Clark Gable once asserted that she was his favorite actress to work with. In 1955 she married Alfred Steele, President of the Pepsi-Cola company. After her husband's death, she became a member of the board of directors, but she was so desperate for cash that she took non-starring roles in motion pictures. She made a second comeback in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962), a thriller in which she co-starred with Bette Davis. Joan Crawford's legacy was marred by the publication of "Mommie Dearest" (1978), in which her adopted daughter alleged child abuse -- denied by some colleagues, such as Myrna Loy and Cesar Romero, but confirmed by others, such as Rex Reed, June Allyson, and longtime rival Bette Davis.

From Quiz Fractured Stars of the Screen

Answer: William Shatner

This truly excellent actor, singer, author, director and sometime comic was born in Canada in 1931. He has gone down in the entertainment business as the inimitable Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise in the television series and movies that began to appear on our screens from 1966 onward. He's a far more accomplished actor than presented in those enjoyable Science Fiction escapades however. He also played the police officer T.J. Hooker in the series of the same name which ran from 1982 to 1986. He hosted "Rescue 911" from 1989 to 1996, and played the hilarious Denny Crane in the two excellent courtroom drama series, "The Practice" (1997-2004) and "Boston Legal" (2004-2008). These are only a small part of this actor's coloured, varied and very accomplished life. A few interesting facts relating to William Shater; He's of Jewish descent, and he was part of the first inter-racial kiss on television (between himself and Lieutenant Uhura in his role of Captain Kirk - episode "Plato's Stepchildren"). Following the cancellation of the "Star Trek" series, he was reduced to living in a camper while he struggled to find work to support his family. He doesn't enjoy being the object of adoring fans for his Captain Kirk persona, and has often been known to poke fun of the series. He played the role of Big Giant Head in the hilarious series "Third Rock from the Sun" (1996-2001) and he recorded a wake-up message for the crew of the space shuttle Discovery on its final day at the international space station. The best thing about him of all (for me) is that he constantly sends himself up. He has a wonderful sense of humour.

From Quiz Fractured Stars

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

Poor sad Marilyn. She gave us the gift of laughter and beauty, yet her life was more tragic than that many actresses have played in other films. Born in 1926, this fragile woman died in 1962, with her death put down to an accidental overdose. However, even today, there is still a vast amount of speculation as to whether she was murdered or not to prevent her from spilling state secrets which she learned during the time she was President John Kennedy's mistress.

From Quiz Breaking the Silence

Answer: Fatty Arbuckle

Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle (1887-1933) started his career in vaudeville and later became one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood. He was not only a comic actor, but also a gifted screenwriter, director and singer (after hearing Arbuckle sing Enrico Caruso tried to persuade him to "give up this nonsense" to pursue a singing career.) While he was billed as Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle - the nickname was apt because Arbuckle was a man of massive girth - he allowed no one to call him Fatty offscreen. (Despite the fact that was a large, heavy-set man, Arbuckle was surprisingly lithe and an excellent acrobat and tumbler.) Arbuckle's career in movies came to an abrupt halt in 1921 when, while partying in San Francisco, one of his guests, an aspiring actress named Virginia Rappe, became ill. The hotel doctor diagnosed her case as one of extreme intoxication, but Rappe died three days later of peritonitis caused by a ruptured bladder. Another of the party guests, Maude Delmont, accused Arbuckle of raping Rappe and charges of murder were filed against him. Rumours flew thick and fast. The Hearst newspapers published stories that pronounced Arbuckle guilty before he even went to trial, and the prosecutor, Matthew Brady, saw the trial as his ticket into the Governor's mansion. Arbuckle was tried three times - the first two trials were declared mistrials after the juries voted 10-2 in favour of acquittal, and in the third trial the jury, having learned that Maude Delmont had a rap sheet as long as your arm for fraud, embezzlement and other misdoings, returned a unanimous verdict of Not Guilty. It was too late for Arbuckle, though. His career was in ruins. He descended into alcoholism and although he was poised for a comeback, he died in June 1933.

Answer: Alley's galleys & alleys galleys

Kirstie Alley's television acting career was really what got her noticed. Her role as the corporate executive trying to run a sports bar was a classic. Many is the time I've looked at that portrayal and compared it to people I've witnessed in real life corporations. In the 2000s though, her weight gain and subsequent weight loss have made the supermarket checkout headlines.
