Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Death of Marat

Answer: David

Jacques-Louis David painted "The Death of Marat" in 1793. After Marat was killed by Charlotte Corday, his body was placed on public display until signs of decomposition appeared. David carried this image to canvas. David himself was an activist during the French Revolution and a member the Committee of General Security. Marat is pictured in his bathtub that he used to treat his skin disease, with a writing table attached. The legend is that he was making out a list of royalists to be guillotined.

David's paintings were often 'torn from the headlines' meaning that they were pictorial representations of recent events. His "Coronation of Napoleon" would be another example although he used classical imagery as well.
2. Edwin Drood

Answer: Charles Dickens

"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" was Charles Dickens' last novel that he left uncompleted. Various attempts have been made by other writers to finish it but none had the touch of the master of Victorian literature.
3. Blind superhero

Answer: Daredevil

Comic genius Stan Lee was partially responsible for the creation of this superhero that first appeared in Daredevil #1 (April 1964). Matt Murdock is blinded by a radioactive substance. While blinded, the exposure heightens his remaining senses beyond normal human ability--"radar sense".

Daredevil has appeared in various forms of media, including an animated series, video games, television, and films. and merchandise. He was played by Ben Affleck in the 2003 film "Daredevil" and by Charlie Cox in the Netflix television series.
4. Joan Fontaine's sister

Answer: Olivia de Havilland

Walter de Havilland (1872-1968)is the father of both Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine, with their mother Lilian Fontaine. It was not a happy marriage. When acting became their chosen career, they chose different names relating to their parentage. Olivia won her first Oscar for "To Each His Own" (1946) and Joan for "Suspicion" (1941)--the first set of sisters to be so honored.
5. Jesse's son

Answer: David

David was the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem. His mother is not mentioned in the Bible. By far he is the most colorful character in the Bible as he displays heroism, goodness, and human failings. He was a shepherd and poet, killed Goliath, was a king, committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her husband to die. His son Absalom led a rebellion against him, and fathered Solomon.

Scholars have doubts about the Biblical David. There is little written that suggest he really existed but he is prominent in oral tradition.
6. Southern cooking

Answer: Deen

Paula Deen was a single mom trying to seek out how to survive with her two young sons. In Savannah she began making sack lunches for workers, delivered by her sons to their place of work. Later she opened a restaurant fashioned on southern cooking. As her fame increased, she was offered a television cooking show. Most of the popular TV chefs were the products of prestigious culinary schools. Deen relied on her knowledge of southern comfort foods that often included generous amounts of butter.

However, her public image in 2013 plummeted when it was alleged that she made derogatory remarks and comments that were racist.
7. Curb Your Enthusiasm

Answer: David

Larry David is listed as the co-creator with Jerry Seinfeld of the sitcom "Seinfeld" (1989-1998) but probably more Larry than Jerry. In 2000 David created "Curb Your Enthusiasm" that became an instant hit on HBO. Larry David plays a fictionalized adaptation of himself. There is always a general plot but the actors are allowed to use "retroscripting" which means that they can adlib or change a line at will.

David plays a curmudgeon. He has problems with social conventions and expectations, annoyance with other people's behavior, is so outspoken that it leads to awkward situations and is the victim of elaborate misunderstandings. He once ran into the water to save a drowning man who was undergoing a Christian baptism. He was attacked for allegedly whistling "Springtime for Hitler" (from "The Producers") as being anti-Semitic . He leaves a porno tape in a TV used by children.
8. Pebbles

Answer: Demosthenes

According to legend, Demosthenes, a Greek leader and orator, overcame his speech defect by placing small pebbles in his mouth.
9. Rat Pack

Answer: Sammy Davis Jr

Frank Sinatra was the leader of the so-called "Rat Pack" that included many of his friends. Among them were Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and occasional mascots such as Juliet Prowse and Shirley McClain. Davis was the only black person in the group and arguably the most talented. He could sing, dance, and act and be a comedian.
10. Serial killer

Answer: Dahmer

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was a serial killer and sex offender, who committed the rape, murder, and dismemberment of 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991. His murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the preservation of body parts.

He was employed at a local chocolate factory but roamed bars at night that were gay friendly. Christopher Scaver was the prime suspect in the beating death of Dahmer but motives seem vague for the prison death.
