Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E..." Which southern songbird spelt out her feelings on a marriage break-up?

Answer: Tammy Wynette

Tammy Wynette was born on 5th May 1942 in Mississippi and died on 6th April 1998. Probably her best known song was "Stand By Your Man", which was totally at odds with the feelings of "D.I.V.O.R.C.E", both of which topped the US Country charts in 1968. She had 20 Country Number 1 hits, both on her own and in duos.

2. "A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100,000 short." Which vertically challenged actor said that of a divorce settlement?

Answer: Mickey Rooney

Born in 1922, Mickey Rooney 'walked down the aisle' eight times before he was 90, which probably also led him to say "Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day."

3. From the 'no such thing as bad publicity department', which movie star said: "In Hollywood, an equitable divorce settlement means each party getting fifty percent of publicity"?

Answer: Lauren Bacall

Born in 1924, Lauren Bacall married Humphrey Bogart in 1945 (he died in 1957). She married Jason Robards in 1961 and they were divorced eight years later.

Answer: Oliver Stone

Among Oliver Stone's movies both "Platoon" (1986) and "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989) won him 'Best Director' Oscars to go along with the 'Best Adapted Screenplay' award for "Midnight Express" (1978). On the subject of divorce, Stone had 'been there, done, that, paid the alimony', so probably knew what he was talking about.

Answer: Johnny Carson

And of course there is no suggestion that Johnny Carson was speaking from experience; it was probably a good sound bite for one of his famed show-opening monologues. Carson presented "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992, entering the set to the sound of an announcer declaring "Heeeeeere's Johnny!".

6. Good Morning Alimony: Which funnyman turned actor said: "Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet"?

Answer: Robin Williams

Ouch, sounds at least financially stressful. Williams was no stranger to the divorce courts. He made his name as a stand-up comedian before television fame beckoned and he went on to star in a number of movies, including "Good Morning Vietnam" (1987), which earned him an Oscar nomination.

7. He was born to be king, she was a lady who became a princess and the darling of the paparazzi. Which England's Rose said: "I am never going to get divorced, and that's that"?

Answer: Diana Princess Of Wales

Lady Diana Spencer was 20 when she married Prince Charles in 1981. He was 33 and at the the time was first in order of ascendancy to the British Crown. They had two sons and divorced in 1996. She died in a car crash in August 1997.

8. From the 'silver lining to every cloud' department, which Hungarian-born actress said "I'm an excellent housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house."

Answer: Zsa Zsa Gabor

Zsa Zsa Gabor was born in Budapest in 1917 and got married for the first time in 1937. Over the next 50 years, seven out of eight marriages ended in divorce and the other in annulment. She also quipped: "I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back."

Answer: Neil Diamond

Diamond said that of his divorce from Marcia Murphey in 1995, after 26 years of marriage. Previously, he had married Jayne Posner in 1963 and divorced her six years later. "Cracklin' Rosie" and "Sweet Caroline" were two of his best-known songs among more than 40 hits.

Answer: John Cleese

Born in England, the 'Monty Python' veteran was married to three Americans: Connie Booth 1968 to 1976; Barbara Trentham 1981 to 1990; and Alyce Faye Eichelberger 1992 to 2008. All three marriages ended in divorce. "The Ministry of Funny Walks" was one of the best-remembered clips, portraying stiff upper-lip British Civil Servants walking, well, strangely.
