Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what motion picture is a Korean War veteran brainwashed so that when he sees a Queen of Diamonds playing card he will obey the next order given him?

Answer: The Manchurian Candidate

"The Manchurian Candidate" is a 1962 film with Frank Sinatra (Major Bennett Marco), Laurence Harvey (Raymond Shaw), and Angela Lansbury (Mrs. Iselin, Raymond's mother). Raymond, son of a right-wing political family and dominated by his mother, is unknowingly trained to be an assassin in a Communist plot to take over the United States. Major Marco tries to prevent the murder.
2. Which pair of writers adopted the pen name "Ellery Queen"?

Answer: Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee

Two cousins, Daniel Nathan (Frederic Dannay) and Emanuel Lepofsky (Manfred Lee) combined as Ellery Queen for over 42 years, naming their protagonist "Ellery Queen". They produced a long series of novels and short stories, as well as movies, and radio and television programs, and they founded "Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine."
3. The 1951 adventure film "The African Queen" starred Katharine Hepburn and which actor?

Answer: Humphrey Bogart

In German East Africa, after the outbreak of World War I, Charlie Allnut (Bogart), Captain of the tramp steamer "The African Queen," attempts to guide Rose Sayer (Hepburn) and himself down river to escape the Germans. Their many adventures are highlighted by their complex relationship. Bogart won his only Oscar for his work in this film.
4. What was the birth name of Queen Latifah?

Answer: Dana Elaine Owens

Born on March 18, 1970, she adopted the stage name "Latifah" (an Arabic word for "very kind" and "delicate") in 1988. She has since built a career in music, film, and television as a rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, comedian, model, and talk show hostess.
5. "Queen Anne's Revenge" was the flagship for which famous pirate?

Answer: Blackbeard

Blackbeard (Edward Teach) became Captain after the frigate was captured from the French in 1717. He named her "Queen Anne's Revenge," possibly because of Queen Anne's War (War of Spanish Succession) in which Teach had served in the Royal Navy. He attacked British, Dutch, and Portuguese merchant ships from the west coast of Africa to the Caribbean.

After escaping when he ran the ship aground near Charleston Harbor in May, 1718, he accepted a royal pardon. But he soon returned to piracy and was killed in combat in November, 1718.
6. "The Snow Queen" is an original fairy tale written by which person?

Answer: Hans Christian Andersen

"The Snow Queen" was first published in 1844. It centers on the struggle between good and evil as they are experienced by Gerda, the heroine, and her playmate, the boy Kai. It is told in seven narrative divisions, each of which fits into the overall story. Central characters include the Snow Queen, the Troll, the Grandmother, and several others.

When Gerda and Kai finally arrive back home, they see that everything is as it was, and that it is they who have changed and grown up.
7. In 1958, Bobby Darin had which hit song?

Answer: Queen Of The Hop

Walden Robert Cassotto (Bobby Darin) had 22 Billboard Top 40 hits 1958-1967. Among those were "Mack The Knife" (Number One in 1959), and "Dream Lover" (Number Two in 1959). He had three Number Three hits: "Splish Splash" (1958), "Things" (1962), and "You're The Reason I'm Living" (1963). "Queen Of The Hop" charted at Number Nine in 1958.
8. In "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland," which Queen repeats the line, "Off with their heads!"?

Answer: Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts, to Alice a playing card, rules the land along with the King of Hearts. Described as "a blind fury," she orders death sentences for even the slightest offense. With her subjects bowed down at her approach, the Queen asks Alice who they are. Because all playing cards look alike from the back, Alice tells her that she does not know.

When the Queen orders Alice to be beheaded, the King deters her by pointing out that Alice is only a child.
9. Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" is an allegory written during the reign of which English monarch?

Answer: Queen Elizabeth I

"The Faerie Queene" is an unfinished epic/allegory by Spenser. The first twelve books were each to center on a knight who demonstrated a private virtue. Hence the first six books deal with: I. Holiness and the Redcrosse Knight; II. Temperance and Sir Guyon; III. Chastity and Sir Britomart, a lady knight; IV. Friendship and Sir Cambell and Sir Triamond; V. Justice and Sir Artegal; and VI. Courtesy and Sir Calidore. An unfinished seventh book may have represented the virtue of Constancy.

The Faerie Queene herself, Gloriana, represents Glory. And the allegorical reference to Queen Elizabeth, the embodiment of all twelve private virtues, is quite clear. [Elizabeth was pleased enough to grant Spenser a pension for life.]
10. Which queen is mentioned in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"?

Answer: Mab

In a famous speech by Mercutio in Act I, Scene iv of "Romeo and Juliet," he describes Mab, the Queen of the Fairies, as a miniature being who drives her chariot into the noses and brains of sleeping humans to compel them to experience dreams of wish-fulfillment. Titania, another Fairy Queen, appears in "A Midsummer's Night's Dream"; Hecate, Queen of Witches, is from "Macbeth"; and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, comes from "Titus Andronicus."
