Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. In due course she became Queen Elizabeth II and her husband has loyally supported her for all the years of her long reign. Which wedding anniversary did this happy couple celebrate on 20 November 2017?

Answer: 70th

Prince Philip renounced his Greek princely title when they married and King George VI, the bride's father, created him Duke of Edinburgh. When Princess Elizabeth became Queen, she bestowed the title of "Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" on him.

The Queen and Prince Philip have four children, eight grandchildren and a quiverful of great-grandchildren. She has lived long enough to know the three successors to her throne: her eldest son, Prince Charles, her grandson Prince William and her great-grandson, Prince George.
2. Tom Hanks and his second wife have been together since 1985 and they have two sons. The second Mrs Hanks shares her given name with a red-headed Hollywood actress who was an excellent dancer and married a prince. Who was this glamorous star?

Answer: Rita Hayworth

Rita Wilson, Mrs Tom Hanks, does not live in the shadow of her famous husband: she is an actress and a film producer in her own right. Her biggest accomplishment as a producer is the runaway success comedy "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
3. David Bowie and the supermodel Iman (birth name Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid) were a devoted couple until death did them part in 2016. They were married for 24 years. Iman was born in Somalia but grew up in which country?

Answer: Egypt

Iman was a prominent international model. During twenty years on the catwalk, she found it difficult to obtain shades of make-up suitable for women with dark skin. She was forced to formulate and mix her own beauty products. When she retired from modelling, she started "Iman Cosmetics", producing skincare and cosmetics for darker complexions. Today this is one of the top-selling cosmetic brands worldwide.
4. Michael J Fox has been married since 1988 to Tracy Pollan, whom he met while they were co-stars in which production?

Answer: "Family Ties"

Apart from her acting skills, Tracy Pollan is an accomplished cook. She comes from a family who love all things culinary. Her brother is a professional food writer with several best-selling books to his name, and Tracy herself has co-written a cookbook with her mother and two sisters: "The Pollan Family Table".
5. Bob Hope lived to be a hundred years old, and for the last 70 of those years he was married to his first and only wife. Mrs Hope was of Italian and Irish descent, but judging by her given name, you might have thought she was Spanish. What was her name?

Answer: Dolores

Bob Hope died in 2003 at the age of 100. When Dolores died eight years later, she had outdone Bob by having reached the age of 102. I wish I knew what their diet consisted of in the Hope household!
6. Queen Victoria outlived her husband Prince Albert by 40 years. After he died she wore black for the rest of her life. They were interred together in a granite sarcophagus at The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore. What marble sculpture is on top of their tomb?

Answer: Recumbent effigies of them both.

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg was Victoria's first cousin. His father and her mother were siblings. They had nine children and 42 grandchildren, most of whom married into the royal houses of Europe, with the result that Queen Elizabeth II is related by blood to most if not all of the current European royalty. Her own husband, Prince Philip of Greece and Demark, is her second cousin.
7. Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis were a devoted couple. At the time of his death they had been married for 52 years. What was Nancy's profession before she married Ronald Reagan?

Answer: Actress

While Nancy Davis was under contract to MGM, she made eleven feature films for them. She was usually typecast as a demure housewife or a devoted mother. Before she met Ronald Reagan, she dated other actors from the MGM stable, including Clark Gable and Peter Lawford, but had no serious romances.
8. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward had been happily married for 50 years at the time of his death in 2008. They were both outstanding actors. He was nominated seven times for a Best Actor Academy Award, but only won one: for "The Color of Money" in 1986. Joanne won the Best Actress Oscar in 1958, for her role in the drama "The Three Faces of Eve". What was the storyline of the film?

Answer: A woman suffers from multiple personality disorder.

The film, based on a true case study by psychiatrist Corbett H. Thigpen, deals with Eve White, a respectable housewife whose personality sometimes morphs into that of Eve Black, a fun-loving goodtime girl. Spoiler alert! Those who are planning to see the film for the first time, read no further! The story is a gripping account of how Eve's psychiatrist, (Dr Luther, played by Lee J. Cobb) using hypnosis, delves into her memories to find the trauma that lies at the root of her disorder. During the treatment, a third personality emerges, that of Jane, a calm and sensible personality. Eventually Dr Luther manages to merge Eve's three personalities into a single one and she is able to resume a normal life.
9. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were married in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, in 1969. At the time of his death they had been married for eleven years. They were a devoted couple and after they became parents, John took on the role of "house-husband" as he had promised Yoko he would do when she made that a condition of having children. Name the child or children of John and Yoko's marriage.

Answer: Sean

John Lennon married Cynthia Powell, whom he met in a calligraphy class at the Liverpool College of Art, in 1962. They had one son, Julian. They were divorced in 1968 on the grounds of John's adultery with Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono was John Lennon's second wife and they had one son, Sean.
10. King Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor, was so devoted to twice-divorced Mrs Wallis Simpson that he gave up his crown to marry her - but he also gave up his home and lived out his life in exile with his Duchess in France. However, in July 1940 the Duke was appointed to the Governorship of which British island territory, where he and the Duchess lived for the duration of World War Two?

Answer: The Bahamas

The Bahamas became a British Crown Colony in 1718 and remained a British possession until it gained independence in 1973. However, it is still a member of the Commonwealth and retains Queen Elizabeth II as its Head of State.
