Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 'Picture of Dorian Gray', a future star had an early small role as a cabaret singer. Who was she?

Answer: Angela Lansbury

It starred Hurd Hatfield (in the title role) and George Sanders. Interesting movie, from the Oscar Wilde novel.

Answer: Lee Marvin

It was a top cast, with Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb - but not Lee Marvin.

3. In 'Ivanhoe', Robert Taylor resists Elizabeth Taylor in favor of who?

Answer: Joan Fontaine

Excellent adventure.

4. Which member of 'The Dirty Dozen' was also a prisoner in 'The Great Escape'?

Answer: Charles Bronson

These are two fine adventures.

5. In, 'The Man Who Came To Dinner', who played the title role?

Wooley did a great job in this funny movie. Early Bette Davis. From the Hart and Kaufman play.

Answer: Pat Boone

Interesting movie, nevertheless.
