The Letter L Trivia

1. What 'L' is the surname of the beautiful and talented actress Jessica who plays Dwan in the movie "King Kong''?

From Quiz Hello, Here is the Letter "L"

Answer: Lange

King Kong (1976) is an American adventure movie, directed by John Guillermin, produced by Dino De Laurentiis and starring Jeff Bridges as Jack Prescott and Jessica Lange as Dwan. It is a remake of the 1933 film of the same name. Although the film was a box office success it was not a critical success. American Jessica Phyllis Lange (1949 -) was a model when she was asked by Dino De Laurentiis to be the lead actress in the film "King Kong". This was her debut film and with it she won the Golden Globe for best new actress, but her performance was much criticized, the reason why she spent three years away from the screen. From then on, she began a successful career in film, theater and television. Jessica is one of the few actresses to achieve The Triple Crown of Acting, having received an Academy Award, an Emmy Award and a Tony Award.

Answer: Lundehund

The Lundehund is a Norwegian spitz variety, bred to hunt puffins, hence the extra toes - it made it easier for them to climb up cliffs to find the birds. At one point the breed nearly died out - following a decline in their use in hunting, and the imposition of a tax on dogs. They eventually were only found in one village by the end of WWII. Then there was an outbreak of distemper, and all but 6 of the dogs died. Careful breeding has brought them back from near extinction, but they all are born with a syndrome which affects the digestion of certain nutrients. The Lithuanian Hound is a sighthound that looks rather like a smallish Rottweiler. This breed also nearly disappeared when a number of dogs were killed in boar hunts in 1976-77. The government created a facility to restore the breed, which is rare even in its home country. The Labrador Husky is a distinct husky breed, a bit larger than Siberians and Samoyeds but smaller than Malamutes. The Labrador Husky does not bark, but howls like a wolf, and indeed there is wolf in his more recent ancestry. The Leonberger is a large, reddish brown to black dog with a heavy mask of black on his face and a thick mane (which gives him the "lion" in his name). Despite the ferocious look, he's a sweetheart with not a mean bone in his body.

Answer: Loarre

Loarre Castle occupies a site where building began in the early 11th century on land reclaimed from the Muslim occupiers of the Aragon region of Spain. Additional building took place over the next two centuries. The somewhat unique architecture has probably lent itself to generations of sand castles - it's a beautiful Romanesque structure with monastery and chapel included. Lambert Castle is actually a stately home built in 1892 in Paterson, New Jersey. Its owner was Catholina Lambert, an English immigrant who went from bookkeeper to owner of a major silk manufacturer and member of the "Gilded" class, along with Vanderbilt, Rothschild and Carnegie. The Castle took a year to build, at an estimated cost of nearly a half million dollars. Later financial problems led to its sale to the city of Paterson, where it is now kept as a museum. Leap Castle, near Roscrea in Ireland, was built in 1250 and has had a rather bloody history since. A 1532 rivalry between two brothers, one a priest, led to one rather nasty incident: the priest was holding mass when his brother broke into the chapel and murdered him at the altar. During the 1922 Irish Civil War it was gutted by fire, as it was then owned by an English family. Its current Irish owner has been restoring it, and during work discovered an oubliette (a rather nasty version of a dungeon, from which there was no return) with a lot of human bones - and a pocket watch from the 1840s. Needless to say, Leap Castle is haunted! Linderhof Castle is a 19th century gothic pile built by Ludwig II in the style of Versailles, complete with over-the-top Rococo decor. One of its innovations was a dining table which sank through the dining room floor to the kitchen, so Ludwig and his guests could have their meals served without having to see the workers.

Answer: D. H. Lawrence

David Herbert Richards Lawrence, born in 1885, wrote extensively and with more openness than was considered proper in his day. His works included "Lady Chatterley's Lover", "Women in Love" and "Sons and Lovers". He died in 1930 in Venice, Italy. Thomas Edward Lawrence, the man known to history as "Lawrence of Arabia", was born in Wales in 1888. At the age of 21 he undertook a walking tour of Crusader castles in Syria, then took up archaeology. He joined the British Army shortly after the outbreak of World War I, where his knowledge of the Middle East was invaluable in defeating the Ottoman Empire. During his life he authored two works, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" and "The Mint" (his book "Revolt in the Desert" was an abridged version of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom") and translated two other works. He died at the age of 46 from injuries from a motorcycle accident. Matthew Lewis was born in 1775 in London. His best known work was "The Monk", a gothic horror novel which caused such consternation that he had to reissue it with the worst bits removed. Other works included "Journal of a West Indian Proprietor", published after his death, some stage works and translations. He was the Member of Parliament for Hindon, but apparently was not particularly adept at politics; in his entire career as an MP, he did not once address the House of Commons! He died in 1818 of a fever acquired while in the tropics. Harry Sinclair Lewis, born 1885 in Minnesota, was an American author and the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His works include "Babbitt", "Main Street", "Elmer Gantry" and "Arrowsmith" (which won a Pulitzer Prize). An alcoholic, he died in 1951.
