Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jeremy

English born Jeremy Irons, in 1997, became the twelfth actor to have achieved the "Triple Crown of Acting", having won an Academy Award ("Reversal of Fortune" in 1991), Emmy Award ("The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century: War Without End in 1997), and the Tony Award ("The Real Thing" in 1984) in acting categories. Irons had the idea to become a veterinarian before he took to acting. After training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, he became a staple at the West End in London and won his first major film role as Charles Henry in "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1981), alongside Meryl Streep. His star began to rise with an Academy Award for his portrayal of Claus von Bulow in "Reversal of Fortune" (1990) followed by a star turn in Showtime's dramatic series, "The Borgias" (2011-13).

Irons has placed his name and support behind various charities and was named as a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 2011.
2. John

Born in Newmarket, Ontario in 1950, of Ukrainian and Polish ancestry, John Candy can lay claim to being one of Canada's funniest character actors. He took to drama at community school and, in 1971, scored his first TV appearance in an episode of "Police Surgeon". His first break came five years later as part of the comedy team "Second City", a group that included the likes of Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Harold Ramis. Their show "SCTV" (1976) would highlight Candy's quirky sense of humor and his uncanny ability to imitate others.

Candy's antics stood out in roles in films such as "Splash" (1984), "The Great Outdoors" (1988), "Stripes" (1981) and "Uncle Buck" (1989). Despite being a part of the smash hit "Home Alone" in 1990, Candy's career suffered a slump at that point, which saw him change tack and take on more serious roles in an effort to revive his career. And it worked. He made heads turn with his performance as a corrupt lawyer in Oliver Stone's "JFK" (1991) and then his greatest highlight, as Irv, the coach of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team in "Cool Runnings" (1993). Candy suffered a heart attack and passed away the following year.
3. Prunella

Prunella Scales was an English actress best remembered for her role as the sharp-tongued, domineering wife of Basil Fawlty, Sybil, in the television series "Fawlty Towers", which enjoyed two seasons on air, one in 1975 and the other in 1979.

Her seven decade career began by attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and then the Liverpool Playhouse's Repertory Company. Her breakout role was that of Kate Starling in the BBC sitcom "The Marriage Lines" (1963-65). After "Fawlty Towers", she won film roles in films such as "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1978), "The Boys from Brazil" (1978), "Consuming Passions" (1988) and "Howards End" (1992). Scales was nominated for a BAFTA for "A Question of Attribution" (1991) and was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1992 Birthday Honours List.
4. Jimmy

Hailing from Newcastle in England and a proud Geordie icon, Jimmy Nail was an extremely versatile performer, showcasing his talents as a singer/songwriter, an actor, producer and as a writer. Despite playing a number of celebrated roles on television - Detective Sergeant Freddie Spender in "Spender" (1991-93), Jed Shepperd in "Crocodile Shoes" (1994-96) and, significantly, Leonard "Oz" Osborne in "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (1983-1986), it wasn't until his performance as Agustin Magaldi in the 1996 film "Evita" that he finally found a solid footing on the international stage.

Nail topped the UK Singles Chart in 1992 with the song "Ain't No Doubt" and generated two multi-platinum selling albums from the TV show "Crocodile Shoes" in 1994 and 1996. After a long hiatus, Nail came out of retirement to act and sing in the "The Last Ship", a musical about the shipbuilders of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, written by Sting. Both Nail and Sting were from the area, Sting living near the shipyards and Nail, originally working in them.
5. Colin

Many may not know the name Colin Salmon but one look at his face and the recognition kicks in... ahh yeah, he's the guy in those "James Bond" films, where Salmon played M's Deputy Chief of Staff Chris Robinson. Colin featured in three Bond films, alongside Pierce Brosnan, in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999), and "Die Another Day" (2002). Colin also featured as James "One" Shade in "Resident Evil" (2002) and reprised the role in the 2012 sequel "Resident Evil: Retribution".

After leaving school Salmon was a drummer in a punk rock called Friction, before showcasing his versatility as a trumpet player for a jazz outfit called Catch in the mid 1980s. He still plays the trumpet, having formed his own jazz quartet, playing at venues such as the Dorchester Grill Room and at events such as the Cheltenham Jazz Festival. His first acting role came as Sergeant Bob Oswald in the TV series "Prime Suspect 2" (1992) and he has continued to feature regularly on television in such shows as "Doctor Who" (2008), "Merlin" (2009), "Arrow" (2012-14), and "The Musketeers" (2015).
6. Burt

Burt Lancaster was known for his strong body and his rugged good looks. Born in New York, he took to gymnastics as child, which led to work in the circus until he was injured and he served the United States during World War II.

Initially unenthusiastic about acting, he was encouraged to audition, and gained a role, for the play "Sound of Hunting" (1945). This led to an introduction to Hal B. Wallis and an eight movie contract. His first film "The Killers" (1946), made his career. "From Her to Eternity" (1953), where he played Deborah Kerr's illicit lover, earned him the first of his his four Best Actor Oscar nominations and "Elmer Gantry" (1960) would win him that Award.

As an activist, he spoke out against racism, the death penalty and the Vietnam War. He made Richard Nixon's "Enemies List" in 1973 and he stood alongside Rock Hudson in the fight against AIDS.
7. Sally

Put American actress Sally Field in a movie and there is a good chance that it will be a memorable one. Her journey in acting started as the surfing teenager on the sitcom "Gidget" (1965-66) before becoming "The Flying Nun" (1967-1970) and taking out a Primetime Emmy in the two part tele-movie "Sybil" (1976).

Her movie breakout came alongside Burt Reynolds in "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) before stamping herself as an actress of quality with Best Actress Oscars for her performances in "Norma Rae" (1979) and "Places in the Heart" (1984).

Other memorable films included "Absence of Malice" (1981), "Murphy's Romance" alongside James Garner (1985), "Steel Magnolias" (1989), "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993), and playing the mother of a man with a low IQ in "Forrest Gump" (1994). She earned an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role as Mary Todd in "Lincoln" (2012) and rounded out her career playing Aunt May in "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) and its sequel two years later.
8. Peter

Peter Graves was the younger brother of James Arness who'd made a name for himself as the star of the TV western "Gunsmoke" (1955-75). Graves though, worked his way through over 70 movies, including a string of b-movies and sci-fi fantasies during the 1950s. He gained attention with a prominent role as the German informant Frank Price in the 1953 film "Stalag 17".

In 1967 Graves was recruited into his most prominent role, replacing Steven Hill as the iconic Jim Phelps in the series "Mission: Impossible", which ran until 1973. The series was revitalized and returned to the screen in 1988 for a further two seasons. Graves, as Phelps, was the only member of the original cast to retain his role, though Greg Morris did make the occasional guest appearance.

After a career spent playing serious roles, Graves made a memorable change, turning to comedy and playing the unflappable Captain Clarence Oveur in the 1980 hit "Airplane!". He would reprise the role two years later in its sequel.
9. Charlie

Tiny Charlie Drake, he stood at 5 feet 1 inch/155 centimetres in height, was a renowned English comedian and singer. With a penchant for the slapstick, Drake was extremely popular with children. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Drake was one of best known comedians in the UK. This reputation was built on shows such as "Laughter in Store" (1957), "Drake's Progress" (1957-58), "Charlie Drake In..." (1958-1960) and "The Charlie Drake Show" (1960-1961), with Drake responsible for the writing of most of the material. In 1961, a serious accident on set, which saw Drake hospitalized, nearly brought his career to an end. His comeback in 1963 with "The Charlie Drake Show" would win him an award at the Montreux Festival in 1968.

An accomplished singer, Drake also found success on the music charts, predominantly with a set of novelty songs. He first charted with a cover of the Bobby Darin song "Splish Splash" in 1958 but is best remember for the singles "Mr. Custer" (1960) and "My Boomerang Won't Come Back" (1961).
10. Keith

The legendary Keith Moon is widely regarded as one of the best and the most influential drummers in the cauldron of rock and roll. A musician who refused to keep the drum kit as a mere timing tool, he transformed it into a ferocious and melodic lead instrument. His aggressive approach to drumming was a vital component of The Who's driving sound, in particular on albums such as the rock operas "Tommy" (1969) and "Quadrophenia" (1973).

Moon was eccentric and his frantic drumming was also reflected in his lifestyle. Well known for his high-energy pranks, costume wearing and destruction of hotel rooms, it was little wonder that he was christened "Moon the Loon". His lifestyle was also fueled by bouts of heavy drinking and self medication. Whilst these played havoc with both his physical and mental health, they also led to his early demise. He was found dead in 1978 of an accidental overdose, ironically of prescribed anti-alcoholism pills that he was taking in an effort to detox.
