Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The apartment house the Woodhouses rented in was:

Answer: The Bramford

The Dakota in New York (where John Lennon lived) was used as the visual image of the Bramford in the film.

2. Rosemary had a friend named Hutch who tried to dissuade Guy and Rosemary from renting in the Bramford. Who were the notorious tenants he told them had lived there?

Answer: Keith Kennedy, Adrian Marcato, Pearl Ames, The Trench Sisters

Because of these tenants it was also called "The Black Bram." The Trench Sisters were cannibals, Adrian Marcato was a satanist. Whatever Pearl Ames and Keith Kennedy did, or whether they were just fiction, we never found out (whew!).

3. As an actor, Guy changed his name. What was his real name?

Answer: Sherman Peden

Guy Woodhouse married Rosemary Reilly after she moved to New York. Merle Johnson is Troy Donahue's real name (and the one under which he appeared in "The Godfather II").

4. Roman and Minnie Castavet were Rosemary's and Guy's new through-the-wall neighbors. Who was living with them when the Woodhouses moved in?

Answer: Teresa Gionoffrio

When she introduced herself she said, "Don't bother trying to spell it because I can't!" Teresa and Rosemary agreed to do their laundry together, since both found the basement so creepy. (What do you mean, "Who's Julia Sugarbaker?")

5. The Castavets gave Teresa a good luck charm that, after her death, they gave to Rosemary. What was it?

Answer: A silver ball filled with tannis root

The tannis root smelled awful and Rosemary hid it, wrapped up in aluminum foil, inside her jewelry box. She didn't wear it until Guy made her feel guilty for hurting the old couple's feelings. The tiny sculpture of Teresa was part of Rosemary's nightmares.

6. The Castavets offered Guy fame, wealth and success in exchange for his cooperation. What was the first thing they did for him?

Answer: Blind the actor who got the part Guy wanted

Roman claimed his father knew Mrs. Fiske, Forbes-Robertson, Otis Skinner, Henry Irving and Modjeska -- legendary theater people who all were dead before Guy was even born. The blinded actor was named Donald Baumgart, a name Guy made fun of (because he hadn't changed it as Guy changed his own).

7. What happened to Teresa?

Answer: She killed herself

She jumped from the Castavets' window in the Bramford. Rosemary and Guy met the Castavets' after Teresa committed suicide. To thank the Woodhouses for being so kind over Teresa's death, the Castavets invited Guy and Rosemary for dinner. The food was awful and Rosemary thought the Boston cream pie tasted very, very odd.

8. When Guy told Rosemary he wanted to go ahead and have a baby, they planned a romantic evening for October 4, which he calculated to be her fertile day. What did they have for dinner?

Answer: Swordfish steaks, salad, stuffed mushrooms, carrots and chocolate mousse

Guy's favorite dessert was Horn & Hardart's pumpkin pie, but he forgot to buy it. During dinner, Minnie rang the doorbell offering pots of "chocolate mouse" (sic) that she'd made too much of. (Guess why!) Rosemary thought the mousse tasted as weird as the Boston cream pie had, so she covertly ditched half of it while Guy wasn't looking.

As a result, she remembered many parts of what happened later that night. As a result of this question, I'm suddenly starving.

9. What did Rosemary plan on naming the baby?

Answer: Andrew John

She planned on naming a girl Jenny. Adrian Steven was the name Roman Castavet wanted to name him after himself and his father.

10. What was the name of the book Hutch left Rosemary in an attempt to warn her?

Answer: "All of Them Witches"

The title wasn't very fair to legitimate practitioners of pagan religions! From this book, Rosemary learned that Roman Castavet was really the son of Adrian Marcato. His was an anagram for "Steven Marcato."

11. Rosemary left her obstetrician, Dr. Hill, to be treated by Abe Sapirstein, a friend of the Castavets. What made Rosemary realize that Dr. Sapirstein was also a member of the coven?

Answer: His nurse complimented Rosemary on her new perfume

She said Rosemary's Detchema smelled so much better than "her usual" scent (tannis root) and that Dr. Sapirstein should change aftershave scents, too, since he often came to work smelling so strongly of tannis root that she couldn't bear to be near him.

12. At last, a movie question: Who played Dr. Hill?

Answer: Charles Grodin

John Cassavetes played Guy Woodhouse.

13. Rosemary's pregnancy had some unusual complications. What were they?

Answer: All of the above

14. True or false: The Woodhouses' apartment and the Castavets' were connected by a secret passage.

Answer: True

There was a hidden door from the Woodhouses' linen closet to another closet in the Castavets' hallway. The former tenant had rolled an antique secretary in front of the door to block it. The Woodhouses concluded she must have been getting senile.

15. When Rosemary no longer trusted the herbal drink Dr. Sapirstein prescribed for her, what did she drink instead?

Answer: Milk, cream egg, sugar and sherry

Nowadays, with salmonella so prevalent, no pregnant mother would even touch a raw egg!

16. Rosemary was told her baby had been born dead. How did she discover that it had not?

Answer: All of the above

17. The coven members stood watch over Rosemary after the birth. How did she escape?

Answer: She drugged one of her watchers

She hid the tranquilizers Dr. Sapirstein gave her and put them into Leah Fountain's coffee. She covered up the taste by saying how bitter this pot of coffee was.

18. True or false: The coven used Rosemary's nursery room furniture to keep the baby in.

Answer: False

The baby was in a black bassinet, with an inverted crucifix for a mobile.

19. What religion was Rosemary?

Answer: Roman Catholic

20. Rosemary and Guy's apartment was previously occupied by a member of the coven. Who was she?

Answer: Mrs. Gardenia

Lily Gardenia was one of the first woman lawyers in New York. Up until the plan for the devil to have a baby with a mortal woman, she had considered satanism to be "a harmless pastime." That was why the coven killed her.
