Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the real first name of the American country music star who shot to fame using the name Faith Hill?

Answer: Audrey

Faith Hill has achieved significant success as both a singer and record producer with songs such as 'The Kiss' and 'There You'll Be'. After being adopted as a young baby, the singer was given the name Audrey Faith Perry. It was her first marriage to a music company executive named Daniel Hill in 1988 that led to her gaining the name under which she became world famous. The couple divorced in 1994 and she remarried two years later to fellow country singer Tim McGraw.

Hill has won numerous awards during her career - including multiple Grammy Awards, two of which were for her hit albums 'Breathe' and 'Cry'.
2. Faith, played by Eliza Dushku, was a prominent character in which popular US show that originally aired between 1997 and 2003?

Answer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Faith was introduced in the third season of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' that aired in 1998 and was, like the title character, a vampire slayer. Actress Eliza Dushku had previously appeared on screen as Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter in the 1994 film 'True Lies'.

Initially Faith attempted to befriend Buffy, but a series of mishaps and a growing bitterness caused her to switch sides and she soon became an enemy rather than an ally. The character also appeared in the spin-off show 'Angel' where she eventually became persuaded to work for good rather than evil. Her change of heart meant that when Faith reappeared in the final series of the original show, she was one of the characters who worked alongside Buffy in her final effort to save the Earth.
3. In Christian philosophy, faith is one of three what?

Answer: Theological virtues

Faith is commonly listed as the first of the three theological virtues along with hope and love (or charity). A theological virtue is on which is "infused" into a person by divine intervention. In this sense, faith is essentially the ability of a person - with God's assistance - to believe in what God has said to be true, without the benefit of any physical evidence.

Thomas Aquinas wrote extensively about various different types of virtues, including the theological virtues, in his influential work 'Summa Theologica'. His interpretation of these concepts has played an important role in many later works of Christian philosophy, including those produced by 21st century Popes.
4. In 2016, singer and actress Paloma Faith appeared as a coach and judge on which British TV talent show?

Answer: The Voice UK

Faith's music career began with the release of the single 'Stone Cold Sober' in 2009. Although it didn't become a top ten hit, the album it was taken from - 'Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?' - reached number nine on the UK Albums chart later that year. It wasn't until 2017 that one of her albums ('The Architect') finally made it to the number one spot.

The singer has also had (small) roles in various well-known films, including 'St Trinian's' in 2007 and 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' in 2009. Her role on 'The Voice UK' was limited to a single season due to the birth of her first child in December 2016.
5. 'Faith' was the first of the final trilogy of spy novels to feature the character Bernard Samson. It was written by which author?

Answer: Len Deighton

'Faith' was first published in 1994 and followed, somewhat unsurprisingly, by 'Hope' and 'Charity'. All three novels - as well as six from two earlier trilogies - are about a disillusioned and somewhat paranoid MI6 intelligence officer named Bernard Samson. In 'Faith', Bernard had the unenviable job of safely transporting an untrustworthy KGB defector from Berlin to London.

The author Len Deighton also wrote the novels on which the films that starred Michael Caine as the spy Harry Palmer ('The Ipcress File', 'Funeral in Berlin' and 'Billion Dollar Brain') were based. His other published works include various cookery books and texts on the Second World War.
6. Faith Newman, the daughter of Nick and Sharon Newman, is a character from which long-running US soap opera?

Answer: The Young and the Restless

Faith Newman was born after her divorced parents briefly reunited with each other, despite the fact that both had subsequently remarried. As a result, her paternity was initially in doubt with Nick Newman; her mother's new husband, Jack Abbott; and Jack's younger brother, Billy Abbott all being candidates. It was finally determined that Nick Newman was her father after a DNA test was carried out.

The character has been played by several different child actresses, including Alyvia Alyn Lind and McKenna Grace, who also portrayed the young Tonya Harding in 'I, Tonya'. Her parents Nick and Sharon are played by Joshua Morrow and Sharon Case.
7. Which two stars performed 'Faith', a song from the 2016 animated musical 'Sing'?

Answer: Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande

'Faith' was written by Benny Blanco, Francis Farewell Starlite and Ryan Tedder and primarily performed by the legendary Stevie Wonder. Ariana Grande was credited as a featured artist. It appeared on the soundtrack of 'Sing', which was about a group of anthropomorphic animals who gather together to compete in a song contest.

The song was nominated for a Golden Globe Award but lost out in the Best Original Song category to 'City of Stars' from 'La La Land'. However, when released as a single it did make it to number one in the charts...in Israel.
8. Saint Faith is a legendary figure who is said to have been tortured and killed by the Romans for her Christian beliefs in the late 3rd or early 4th century. In which modern-day country is she believed to have lived?

Answer: France

Firm evidence of the existence of Saint Faith has not survived into modern times, but legends and stories from the medieval period suggest that she was from the town of Agen in southwest France. A shrine to her at the Abbey Church of Saint Foy in Conques later became a destination for pilgrims. In particular, it is said that former prisoners who had been miraculously freed after praying to Saint Faith would journey there to donate their chains as an offering.

The stories indicate that Saint Faith was a pious young virgin who refused to renounce her Christian faith or obey demands by the Roman authorities to make offerings to their pagan gods. Her punishment was being burned to death over the hot coals of a brazier.
9. In the UK, the fashion brand Faith is most associated with what type of product?

Answer: Shoes

Founded in 1964, Faith shoe shops became a common sight in British high streets and department stores by the end of the 20th century. A key aspect of their popularity was their aim to base their products on the latest designs being shown off on catwalks around the world but sell them at an affordable price for the general public. It was a business model that worked well until the original company collapsed in 2010, although the brand name survived after being snapped up by department store group Debenhams.

The closure of most Faith outlets in 2010 resulted in hundreds of job losses. However, one Faith shop was swiftly reopened by its staff under a new name - Hope!
10. 'Faith', which spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 from December 1987 to January 1988, was written and performed by which singer?

Answer: George Michael

'Faith', the fifth solo single released by British singer-songwriter George Michael, may have spent four weeks at number one in the US, but it got stuck at number two on the UK Singles Chart. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands were all other countries where it achieved the coveted number one spot. It was the title track of George Michael's first solo album, which was released in 1987 and got to number one on the US Billboard 200 and the UK's Official Albums Chart.

The song remains one of the George Michael's best-known hits. However, he was also one half of the pop duo Wham! (along with Andrew Ridgeley) that had success with songs such as 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go', 'Careless Whisper' and 'Last Christmas'.
