Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In 1983, which of the following women, with beautiful eyes, became the first female of African-American descent to be selected as Miss America?

Answer: Vanessa Williams

This description is of Vanessa Williams, who went on to a career in acting, singing, and modeling. Her beautiful bluish-green eyes appear to be different colors depending on the lighting of the photo and the clothing that she is wearing. She has appeared in the 1996 movie "Eraser", and "Soul Food" in 1997.

She has released multiple albums, and guest starred in many television shows, most notably "Ugly Betty" from 2006-2010. She has been nominated for numerous Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Awards.
2. Which of the following men was a British comedy actor who portrayed the character of Igor in the 1974 film "Young Frankenstein"?

Answer: Marty Feldman

Marty Feldman was a actor, comedian, and writer who made the most of his unusual appearance by carefully choosing his parts. Feldman suffered from a disorder known as Graves Disease, a type of hyperthyroidism which caused his eyes to protrude. A failed operation when he was young only served to emphasize the misalignment.

His portrayal of Igor in the Mel Brooks comedy "Young Frankenstein" introduced him to a whole new audience, and this role is likely his most famous role.
3. In 1982, American singer Kim Carnes won Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year with a melody about the eyes of which Hollywood actress?

Answer: Bette Davis

Bette Davis was a marvelous actress known for her piercing eyes. As most of her movies were done in black and white, it was not the color of her eyes (which were blue), but rather the intensity if their stare. Bette Davis was an unusual actress in that she did not shy away from playing evil, or unpopular characters, as well as playing the femme fatale.

In a career that spanned over 50 years, she accrued dozens of awards and is considered by many to be one of Hollywood's greatest performers.
4. What was unusual about the eyes of British celebrity Jack Birkett, a skilled entertainer in dance, mime, and acting?

Answer: He was totally blind.

For most of his entertainment career Jack Birkett was blind. He appeared in movies and on stage, often dressed in fishnet stockings and pink silk. A well-known member of Lindsay Kemp's Theater company he usually performed under the name of The Incredible Orlando.

He also appeared in numerous television and film productions, often produced and directed by Derek Jarman, usually in the persona of a drag queen.
5. Actress Elizabeth Taylor was known for her vividly green eyes as well as for her acting skills and her beauty.

Answer: False

While Elizabeth Taylor was known for her beauty and acting skills, her eyes were not vivid green. Taylor was known for her lovely and unusual violet eyes. This unusual shade of blue eyes is rarely seen and usually appear to be different shades depending on lighting and the clothing being worn.

She was also born with a medical condition known as distichiasis, which is basically a second set of eyelashes. Elizabeth Taylor's dark hair and pale skin enhanced the unusual color of her eyes and she used them to great affect in movies such as "Cleopatra" (1963) and "BUtterfield 8" in 1960.
6. Which American singer/actor was known by the nickname Ol' Blue Eyes?

Answer: Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra is usually considered to be a part of Hollywood royalty. His beautiful blue eyes, his acting skills, and his wonderful singing voice led to a long and popular career. Sinatra was popular on both sides of the Atlantic both for his acting as well as his singing.

The principle reason that Sinatra was called Ol' Blue Eyes was because with his colouring and ethnic background, blue eyes were very unusual. If you happen to pass by the Empire State building on December 12th of every year (his birthday), you will see the building light up with blue lights in reference to his nickname of Ol' Blue Eyes.
7. Kate Bosworth is famous for her talent as well as for which interesting fact about her eyes?

Answer: Her eyes are different colors.

Kate Bosworth is a beautiful American actress, singer and model. She also has a condition known as heterochromia. Her left eye is blue and her right eye is hazel. She is not the only celebrity to have this benign condition. Other entertainers that have different color eyes include Jane Seymour, David Bowie and Mila Kunis. Bosworth has made a career out of acting on both television on movies as well as modeling.

Her heterochromia has not affected her career.
8. Actress Sandy Duncan has a glass eye.

Answer: False

Perky blond actress Sandy Duncan is blind in one eye, caused by a brain tumor in early adulthood. Surgery on the tumor killed her optic nerve and many people think that she has a glass eye. Known for her short, blond, pixie hair-cut, and impish personality, Sandy Duncan's career has encompassed television, movies, and Broadway.

There is even a musical band named Sandy Duncan's Glass Eye.
9. Which actor, who appeared in "The Hills Have Eyes" (1977) and "Weird Science" (1985), has an unusual appearance that comes partially from having no eyelashes or eyebrows?

Answer: Michael Berryman

American actor Michael Berryman suffers from a condition known as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. He does not have any hair, teeth, sweat glands or fingernails. This has led to multiple roles in science fiction and horror genre movies. The lack of eyebrows and eyelashes leave the actor's eyes without the protection afforded by these normal features.

This leaves the actor with bloodshot eyes which he must constantly protect. In 2007 he was awarded the EyeGore Award for his Career Contribution in Horror Genre films.
10. American actor Lee Van Cleef, known for his piercing eyes, played which of the following characters in the 1966 Spaghetti western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"?

Answer: Angel Eyes

The unusual features of Lee Van Cleef made him a popular actor, seen mostly in westerns. His enigmatic and penetrating eyes were one of the reasons he was chosen for the character Angel Eyes in this Sergio Leone western. In his early career he often played the villain but after his roles in some of the Spaghetti westerns he went on to play the hero.

His last movie was "Thieves of Fortune", released in 1989.
