Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is NOT true regarding Helena Bonham Carter?

Answer: She has three brothers and four sisters.

Helena Bonham Carter was born on May 26, 1966 in Golders Green, London. Her paternal grandmother's father was Herbert Henry Asquith who served as Prime Minister from 1908 to 1916. Helena has no sisters and two brothers named Edward and Thomas.
2. Why was Helena Bonham Carter denied admission to King's College, Cambridge University?

Answer: The admissions committee felt that she would leave before graduating to pursue a career in acting.

Helena Bonham Carter decided to focus on acting full-time shortly after she was denied admission to Cambridge. Matt Damon dropped out of Harvard 12 credits short of graduation so I suppose there is some credence to admission committees denying admission to someone who is likely not going to graduate. However, it does seem a little unfair.
3. Which love interest of Helena Bonham Carter starred as Victor Frankenstein in the 1994 movie "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein"?

Answer: Kenneth Branagh

In addition to starring as the troubled scientist, Branagh directed the film. Helena played the role of Elizabeth Frankenstein, Victor's fiancée. Robert De Niro played the role of the monster in this adaptation.
4. For what movie was Helena Bonham Carter first nominated for an Academy Award?

Answer: The Wings of the Dove

Helena was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role of Kate Croy in the 1997 film "The Wings of the Dove". In the film Kate is faced with difficult choices regarding love and friendship.
5. Three of Helena Bonham Carter's earlier roles were from film adaptations of a famous author's novels. From what author's novels were Helena's roles of Lucy Honeychurch, Caroline Abbot and Helen Schlegel derived?

Answer: E. M. Forster

Helena was only 20 years old when she starred alongside Maggie Smith in the 1986 movie "A Room with a View". Her portrayal of E. M. Forster's heroine Lucy Honeychurch helped gain her recognition within the movie industry. Caroline Abbot was Helena's character in "Where Angels Fear to Tread" and Helen Schlegel was her character in "Howard's End".
6. What scholarly and tragic Queen of England did Helena Bonham Carter portray in a 1986 film?

Answer: Lady Jane Grey

Helena starred as Lady Jane Grey in the British film "Lady Jane". Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for only nine days (10 July - 19 July 1553). She was executed for treason after an attempt was made to reinstate her as queen of England.
7. One memorable role of Helena Bonham Carter was that of Morgan le Fay in a 1998 made-for-television movie. What major literary figure did Helena antagonize in this film?

Answer: King Arthur

Helena portrayed the evil sorceress in the movie "Merlin". This adaptation of Arthurian legend focused more on Merlin and Morgan le Fay than many previous movies on the subject. Morgan le Fay, a half-sister to King Arthur, eventually reconciled her differences with him but remained an enemy of his love Guinevere.
8. What was the name of Helena Bonham Carter's character in the film "Fight Club"?

Answer: Marla Singer

Helena Bonham Carter's portrayal of the free-spirited support group impostor Marla Singer displayed the actress' ability to play a different type of character. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton starred alongside Helena in the film. I would tell you more, but the first rule about "Fight Club" is that we do not talk about "Fight Club".
9. Helena Bonham Carter played the role of the evil Bellatrix Le strange in the film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". What friend of Harry Potter did she kill at the end of this movie?

Answer: Sirius Black

After a major fight between members of Voldemort's forces and Dumbledore's forces, Bellatrix Le strange catches Sirius Black off guard and kills him with the Avada Kedavra curse. Harry Potter confronts Bellatrix and has the chance to kill her but she eventually escapes when Voldemort enters the fight.
10. Helena Bonham Carter worked with her close friends Johnny Depp and Tim Burton on many films. In which of the following movies did she NOT work with both Depp and Burton?

Answer: Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Johnny Depp is one of the godfathers of Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton's first child Billy Ray Burton. Johnny Depp starred alongside Helena in the Burton directed films "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", "Corpse Bride" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Peter Sallis and Ralph Fiennes voice the main characters in the film "Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit".
