Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Tom Cruise made his acting debut in the 1981 film "Endless Love".

Answer: True

He played a character named Billy. This movie preceded his other movie in the same year, "Taps". The movie was about two young lovers who had to be separated or their passion for each other could actually kill them. Tom Cruise was not a key character in the film.
2. Tom Hanks made his movie debut in a 1980 slasher film called "He Knows You're Alone".

Answer: True

This film was about a serial killer who only hunted brides. A detective, whose bride was killed some years earlier, tried desparately to find the killer before the new bride was murdered like her friends. Hanks was not the killer; instead he played a character named Elliot.
3. This actress made her film debut in 1987 in the movie "Firehouse" as Babs.

Answer: Julia Roberts

This film was credited as being the firemen version of "Police Academy". As a child, Julia wanted to be a veterinarian and later a journalist. We sure are glad she came to Hollywood and became a "Pretty Woman" instead.
4. Harrison Ford made his film debut in this 1966 crime comedy, as an uncredited bellhop.

Answer: Dead Heat on the Merry Go Round

This movie was about a very detailed and precise plan to rob an airport bank. Ford's appearance in the film was brief and he was so young you could barely recognize him! Besides his extensive movie career, he has had spots on TV's "Ironside" and "The Virginian" as well.
5. Bruce Willis made his film debut as an uncredited extra in this film.

Answer: The First Deadly Sin

In the film, he was the man who entered the diner as Detective Delaney left. This movie was about a serial killer who preyed on the people of New York. It starred Frank Sinatra as the soon to be retired detective and Faye Dunaway as his wife.
6. What was Sean Connery's first credited role in film?

Answer: No Road Back

This was filmed in 1957 and Sean played a lowlife character named Spike. The film was about a deaf and blind woman trying to make sure her son got a good education. She decided, after he was taken care of, to get out of the robbery racket but found it was not very easy to do. "Lilacs in the Spring" was actually Connery's first movie, but he was uncredited.
7. This actress made her film debut in "Rich and Famous", as the 18 year old Debbie Blake.

Answer: Meg Ryan

This was filmed in 1981 and was about two women who remained friends throughout the years. They both became successful writers and led different lives, yet their friendship lasted through everything. Meg Ryan played the daughter of one of the main characters, Merry Noel Blake.
8. This actor played an uncredited baseball player in his first film, "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden".

Answer: Mel Gibson

This film was released in 1977. Basically, a 16 year old girl was institutionalized because she had created a fantasy world of her own and couldn't distinguish between it and reality. She befriended a therapist who brought her back to a reality, which wasn't exactly healthy either.
9. A film in 1982 cast Angelina Jolie as Tosh in her first film which her father, Jon Voight, also starred in. Name the movie.

Answer: Lookin' to Get Out

This comedy involved two friend gamblers, one of whom had pretty much lost all his money. They decided they had to leave New York and go to Las Vegas (where else?) so they could win their money back! Angelina, still on speaking terms with her father, was credited as Angelina Jolie Voight in this film.
10. In Val Kilmer's first movie, he played a character named Nick Rivers. What was the movie?

Answer: Top Secret

This 1984 parody was about an American 50's music singer who accidentilly ended up with the French Resistance by falling in love. It was basically a spoof on Elvis films and WWII movies. Although Kilmer was the main character, this role didn't quite give him the same popularity status he earned as Iceman in "Top Gun" in 1986.
