Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What birthday had Billy Ray just celebrated?

Answer: 13th

Doug McKeon played Billy Ray. Billy was a tough kid who grew to love Norman and Ethel.

2. When Norman calls the telephone operator, asking her to check his line, he can remember only one digit of his phone number. What number is it?

Answer: 9

The operator never does call back. Maybe Norman was right in thinking his phone had "lost its whatsie."

3. What is Norman and Ethel's favorite board game?

Answer: Parcheesi

They played serious Parcheesi on Golden Pond.

4. What was the name of the Thayers' motor boat?

Answer: Thayer IV

I guess the boat was the fourth member of the Thayer family. Mariah was the mail boat driven by Charlie.

Answer: Rigatoni

I think Norman just didn't want to socialize.

6. Charlie tells Norman that Miss Apley died the previous month. How old was Miss Apley?

Answer: 97

Alluding to Miss Apley's being a lesbian, Norman remarked, "Maybe there's something to be said for having a deviant lifestyle." The lovely Miss Hepburn made it to 96.

7. Katharine Hepburn won her fourth Academy Award for her perfomance in "On Golden Pond." For which movie did she win her first?

Answer: Morning Glory

"Morning Glory" was Miss Hepburn's third movie. The year was 1933. Her other Oscars were for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" in 1967 and "The Lion in Winter" in 1968. When she accepted her 1967 award, she said that she was sure it was for herself and her late companion of 25 years, Spencer Tracy, her co-star and fellow nominee.

8. Where did Chelsea marry Bill?

Answer: Brussels

When she told Norman, he asked, "Does he speak English?"

9. Henry Fonda won his only Academy Award for "On Golden Pond."

Answer: True

In a long, distinguished acting career, he had only been nominated one time previously; in 1940 for "The Grapes of Wrath." He did, however, receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy the same year he won for "On Golden Pond." He died later that year.

10. Near the end of the movie, Norman gives Chelsea his diving medal after she does the back flip. In what year did Norman win this medal?

Answer: 1921

It was the University of Pennsylvania Diving Championship, 1921, Second Place. After that she calls Norman "Dad" for the first time in years.
