Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Anna Christie" by Eugene O'Neill was first produced on Broadway in 1922, followed by a silent film version. In 1930 the first talkie version was filmed. Who played "Anna?"

Answer: Greta Garbo

The film was promoted with the slogan "Garbo Speaks". Garbo played a prostitute who fell in love with a fisherman played by Charles Bickford. Garbo was nominated four times for Oscars but won none except an 'honorary'. In later years she became reclusive granting no interviews and was thought to have depressive episodes.
2. What actress starred in the film version of Booth Tarkington's classic novel "Alice Adams" (1935)?

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

Hepburn during her film career had 12 Academy Award nominations, winning four including a nomination for the teenage Alice Adams. The movie had a theme popular in early sound films, that of a young girl of modest background who tries to enter elite society through the leading man, Fred MacMurray.
3. What actress was not selected to play Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" (1939) but was given a 'consolation prize' to star as "Jezebel" (1938) and netted an Academy Award for her performance?

Answer: Bette Davis

The role of Jezebel, actually called Julie in the film, was not unlike Scarlett O'Hara, as both are independent strong Southern women. Julie's rejection of convention make it difficult for her love interests in the film, Henry Fonda and George Brent, to cope with her. The climax builds upon a yellow fever epidemic.
4. The discovery of radium was a great scientific landmark. Who portrayed Marie Curie in the 1943 film "Madame Curie"?

Answer: Greer Garson

In what seems a marriage of convenience, a French chemistry professor marries a Polish graduate student. Together they work to uncover the secret hidden in pitchblend that aided them in crystallizing radium. They win the Nobel Prize. Between 1939 and 1945 Garson had six Best Actress nominations, winning for "Mrs. Miniver", a World War Two tale of life in England during war time.
5. "The Diary of Anne Frank" (1959) was a harrowing tale of survival during World War Two. Who played Anne?

Answer: Millie Perkins

Millie Perkins received accolades for her performance in "Anne Frank". Her career since then has been centered on television movies, often cast as a mother. Taylor-Gordon played Anne in the 2001 television version.
6. Both an outstanding film and a hit song came from "Georgy Girl" (1966). What actress played Georgy?

Answer: Lynn Redgrave

Lynn Redgrave, from the expansive Redgrave family of actors, earned an Oscar nomination in her first starring role in "Georgy Girl" who bears some likeness in spirit to "Bridget Jones' Diary". Vanessa is her sister and Natasha and Jemma are nieces.
7. The year 1974 brought us Martin Scorsese's "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" which was not only a successful movie but created a spinoff television sitcom. But who was the original Alice?

Answer: Ellen Burstyn

Burstyn was filming "The Exorcist" when she was tapped for the title role. Lavin played the role on television. Vic Tayback and Diane Ladd appeared in both the film and TV series. "Alice" won Burstyn the Oscar and she had four other nominations. Mia Bendixson appeared as Alice in the film in a flashback to childhood.
8. This 1987 film, designed as a Steve Martin vehicle, was called "Roxanne". But who was "Roxanne"?

Answer: Daryl Hannah

This was an up-dated version of Rostand's "Cyrano De Bergerac", a man whose nose hid his love and talents. Roxanne was the woman of his dreams and poetry. Hannah also played a Southern belle in "Steel Magnolias"(1989), a mermaid in "Splash"(1984), and a one-eyed killer in both parts of "Kill Bill"(2003, 2004).
9. "Evita" (1996) starred what icon of popular music?

Answer: Madonna

Madonna might be best described as an entrepreneur. Born Louise Ciccone, she first sought success as a dancer but turned to acting, singing, and as a performer. Her behavior often pushed the envelope and made her a recognizable name even among non-fans. Her role in "Evita" was challenged by some who thought the role should have gone to a Latino actress.
10. The year 2005 saw Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni in a remake of the comedy "Fun with Dick and Jane". Who starred in the title roles in the original in 1977?

Answer: George Segal/Jane Fonda

Both versions tell the story of an upper middle-class couple coping with financial reversal by knocking over convenience stores and banks and avoiding immigration authorities. Although the 1977 version is somewhat dated, it has the edge in belly laughs. George Segal and Jane Fonda have a long list of credits since the 1960s.
