Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sean Astin, a star in films such as "The Goonies" (1985) and "Rudy" (1993) and "Lord of the Rings" has a famous mother. Who is she?

Answer: Patty Duke

Patty Duke, one of Hollywood's stars from childhood, in films such as "The Miracle Worker" (1962) and "Valley of the Dolls" (1967) and television's "The Patty Duke Show", is a survivor of a long and troubled history of bi-polar disease which impinged greatly on her career path.

She has emerged from it all to become a successful actress, singer, writer, President of the Screen Actors Guild for three years, and activist for mental health issues.
2. Kate Hudson, a star of films such as "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (2003) and "You, Me and Dupree" (2006) has an equally lovely and talented mother. Who is she?

Answer: Goldie Hawn

Goldie Hawn is an actress, producer and director, who first came to our attention in television's "Laugh-In". She went on to star in films such as "Cactus Flower" (1969) and "There's A Girl in My Soup" (1970) and "The First Wives Club" (1996). She lives with long time partner, actor Kurt Russell, with whom she has a son, Wyatt. Kate Hudson and her brother Oliver Hudson are the children from Hawn's second marriage to musician, Bill Hudson.

Her first marriage was to dancer and director, Gus Trikonis.
3. The beautiful Natasha Richardson, a star in such films as "The Handmaid's Tale" (1990) and "Nell" (1994) and "Maid in Manhattan" (2002), has a famous English actress for a mother. Who is she?

Answer: Vanessa Redgrave

Natasha worked on Broadway as well, winning a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award, and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance in the Broadway revival of "Cabaret". She is also the granddaughter of English actor, Sir Michael Redgrave, and, in 1994, married her second husband, Irish actor Liam Neeson, with whom she had two sons. Sadly, Natasha was killed in a skiing accident in Quebec in 2009. Both Broadway and London's West End dimmed their lights to honour her memory and her talent following this tragedy.
4. "Shakespeare in Love" (1998) academy award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has an equally talented actress mother. Who is she?

Answer: Blythe Danner

Gwyneth Paltrow has starred in many films - "Shallow Hal" (2001) and "Emma" (1996) and "The Talented Mr Ripley" (1999) to name just a few. Her mother, Blythe Danner, who is also a star of stage musicals, is known for her roles in films such as "Lovin' Molly" (1974) and "Brighton Beach Memoirs" (1986) - and who could forget her as the long suffering wife in the films "Meet the Parents" (2000) and "Meet the Fokkers" (2004) opposite film husband, Robert de Niro.
5. Who is the father of Geraldine Chaplin who first appeared in his film "Limelight" (1952) when aged eight, before striking out into her own film career?

Answer: Charlie Chaplin

Geraldine has played in movies such as "Doctor Zhivago" (1965) and "Mama Turns 100" (1979) and "The Mirror Crack'd" (1980). Her father, the great Charlie Chaplin, was a huge star, director, producer and musician in the silent film era, with a career spanning the late Victorian age, the Music Hall era and right up to the end of the 1950s.

More than anything else, he brought the gift of laughter to the world.
6. Film and stage actress and singer, Lorna Luft, who worked in films such as "Grease 2" (1982) and "Where The Boys Are '84" (1984) has a mother everyone loved. Who was she?

Answer: Judy Garland

Lorna is known more for her work on stage and as a singer perhaps than in film, but whatever genre in which she works, the talent of her beautiful mother, the great Judy Garland, is more than evident in her genes. Who could choose a selection of the wonderful films that Judy Garland made - but perhaps the one most audiences know her for today is that of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz". Lorna is, of course, half sister to Judy's other daughter, Liza Minnelli, who is a star in her own right as well.
7. Supporting actress Patti Davis, who worked in such television shows as "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" had a father who was both an actor and a politician. Who was he?

Answer: Ronald Reagan

Patti Davis, who is also a writer, had a troublesome relationship with her father in her youth because she opposed so many of his views, but she became reconciled to him in his later years, and particularly so when he grew so ill before his death. She is his child by his second marriage to actress Nancy Davis, who of course, we know best as Nancy Reagan.
8. Mariska Hargitay, best known for her role in television's "Law and Order SVU", had two famous parents, but can you pick her mother?

Answer: Jayne Mansfield

Jayne Mansfield was a stereotyped blonde bombshell actress of the late fifties and sixties who appeared in such films as "Too Hot to Handle" (1960). She tried hard to move away from these roles to show that she could really act, but was too typecast to do so before her death in a car accident at the early age of 34. Mariska's father, Mickey Hargitay, was an actor also, though not a big name screen star.

He was known more for becoming Mr Universe in 1955.
9. William Katt, known for his role in the TV series, "The Greatest American Hero", had a mother known for her role on the TV series "Perry Mason". Who is she?

Answer: Barbara Hale

Barbara played the erstwhile Perry Mason's secretary, Della Street. She also appeared in several films in the forties and fifties, such as "Higher and Higher" (1943) with Frank Sinatra, "Jolson Sings Again" (1949) with Larry Parks, and "The Far Horizons" (1955) with Charlton Heston.

She continued to appear now and then in film and on television until the year 2000 when she retired, aged 78.
10. American actor James Macarthur, known for his role in the long running TV series "Hawaii Five-O", is the child of which famous American actress?

Answer: Helen Hayes

Helen Hayes was known as the First Lady of American Theatre. Her career, which spanned over seventy years, saw a massive output of films and stage productions for which she won an astonishing number of awards. These included 2 Academy Awards, 2 Golden Globe Awards, 5 Tony Awards and 9 Emmy Awards - and that's just amazing.

She was also awarded America's highest civilian honours, the National Medal of Freedom, and later, the National Medal of Arts.
