Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "There's Something About Mary" starred Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, and who else?

Answer: Matt Dillon

Dillon's false teeth were absolutely hilarious. The movie begins in Providence, RI, home town of the wacky Farrelly brothers, who made this hilarious film. It ends in Miami.
2. What 1959 horror flick starred Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead and Darla Hood of "Little Rascals" fame?

Answer: The Bat

A minor film with the tag line "When it flies, someone dies." And they pay people to write these things!
3. "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Benny and Joon," and the title role in "Kate Brasher" on TV are three major credits for this native New Yorker.

Answer: Mary Stuart Masterson

Fried green tomatoes are a tasty southern specialty. Johnny Depp was her co-star in "Benny and Joon".
4. For what 1970 movie did Michael Jackson sing the theme song?

Answer: Ben

Ben was a rat, and his movie was the sequel to "Willard," who was Ben's owner. Tag line: "Where 'Willard' ended, 'Ben' begins, and this time he's not alone!" Ooooooooh, noooooooo! Jacko has come a long way from singing to a rat. The question is: up or down?
5. The "Father of Baseball" was probably not Abner Doubleday but this man:

Answer: Alexander Cartwright

The Doubleday story is probably just a pleasant myth. According to recent research, it seems Cartwright laid out the rules and got the sport started. Oh, by the way, Mr. Cartwright, about that balk rule...Landis was the first Commissioner of Baseball. Johnson was the founder and first president of the American League. Stagg was a famous college football coach.
6. Which of these is a city in extreme southeastern Pennsylvania?

Answer: maverick

A maverick is also an unbranded cow or steer.
11. What was the name of the shopping mall at the END of "Back to the Future" (the first movie)?

Answer: Lone Pine Mall

Twin Pines Mall was the name on the sign we saw when Marty skateboarded into the parking lot, but when Marty went back to 1955, he knocked down a pine tree with the Delorean, so when he returned to 1985, there was only one pine tree left, so the sign when Marty ran into the mall then read "Lone Pine Mall." Hill Valley was Marty's home town. Town Center Mall is the one we go to in Boca Raton, Florida.
12. Bobby Orr was a Bruin. Denis Potvin was an Islander. What was Rod Gilbert?

Answer: a Ranger

Gilbert played right wing for the New York Rangers from 1960 to 1978. He was one of the most popular members of the team. His last name was pronounced "zhil-bare," and some young fans thought his name was Roger Bear!
13. Songs written for radio and TV commercials, like "Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute" and "You deserve a break today" are sometimes called what?

Answer: jingles

Remember "Brylcream, a little dab'll do ya"?
14. What hotel or motel chain was started in 1946 and is based in Phoenix, Arizona? Hint: Their logo had yellow letters, a blue background, and a red crown, but is now blue and white.

Answer: Best Western

Though most of us think of Best Western as an American chain, it has quite a few lodging places in Europe as well.
15. Well, there they are. All fourteen questions are based on the same theme, and you probably got enough right answers to figure it out. Just pick the best one of these:

Answer: westerns

Yes, they were all characters in television western (ques. 14) shows, some well remembered today, some not, like Bronco Lane. Matt Dillon (1) was the main character of "Gunsmoke," which ran from 1955 to 1975. "Bat Masterson" (2,3) ran from 1959 to 61. Ben Cartwright (4,5) was Pa on "Bonanza," from 1960 to 1973. Chester (6) was also on "Gunsmoke." "Bronco" (7) was from 1959 to 61. "Cheyenne" (8), title role by Clint Walker, from 1959 to 63. "The Virginian" (9) title role played by James Drury, ran from 1962 to 70.

There were 3 title characters on "Maverick" (10), but the best known was Bret (James Garner.) Show ran from 57 to 62. "The Lone Ranger" (11, 12) ran from 1949 to 1957. Jingles (13) was the sidekick of "Wild Bill Hickock," 1951 to 1958. Hope you enjoyed the quiz and scored big!
