Answer: Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has been in the limelight for years. IMDB has over 300 listings of appearances for her. Most of her work has been on TV. She may be best known for being the daughter of wealthy parents. She was in 'The Simple Life' (2003) - a TV series, and the movie 'Zoolander' (2001) with Ben Stiller.

Answer: Friday The 13th

1980 was a big year for horror movies and one of the longest running franchises saw young Kevin Bacon as a camp counselor in 'Friday The 13th'. This was the beginning of the series and the one where a lot of people made a mistake - Jason didn't do all the killing, his mom, Mrs. Voorhees (played by Betsy Palmer), did.

4. What actor, at age 20, starred in 'Bride Of Chucky' and 'Bug Buster', both released in 1998?

Answer: Katherine Heigl

Katherine's film career started in 1992. She has gone back and forth between TV and movies. 'Roswell' (1999) and 'Grey's Anatomy' (2005) are two of her best known TV series. 'Knocked Up' (2007) and 'Life As We Know It' (2010) are a couple of her films.

Answer: Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford was in 'American Graffiti' in 1973. Right after making 'The Possessed', he was Han Solo in 'Star Wars' (1977), and the rest, as they say, was history. He played Solo two more times, played Indiana Jones in four movies, was Jack Ryan in three stories and my personal favorite, Rick Deckard in 'Blade Runner' (1982).

7. 1980 was a big year for horror movies. Tom Hanks debuted in a 1980 horror movie. Do you know which one it was?

Answer: He Knows You're Alone

Brides and their friends were the targets of a serial killer in 'He Knows You're Alone'. A cop whose bride was killed years before tried to find and stop the fiend before he struck again.
