Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If this actress, who was the first one to co-star with King Kong, had worked at a fast food restaurant, they might have asked her to FRY AWAY.

Answer: Fay Wray

I don't think there is much doubt that after first being offered to, then taken by and later re-taken by King Kong, that Fay Wray embodied the character of the Damsel In Distress.

Fay did many movies in the 1920's and 1930's, including "The Wedding March", "The Four Feathes" and "The Texan".
2. If this actress, who starred in a movie and its sequel that both took place on the same night, was a lawyer she might receive an EMAIL RE JUSTICE.

Answer: Jamie Lee Curtis

The movie and its sequel would be "Halloween" and "Halloween II", where the psycho with a plain mask and a blue coveralls went seeking the last surviving member of his family in a quiet town on Halloween night. Donald Pleasance played the psychiatrist and white knight to Jamie Lee's Damsel in Distress.

As well as doing the sequels to "Halloween", she has starred in comedies such as "Trading Places" and "A Fish Called Wanda".

She is married to Christopher Guest, who is an actor, comedian and screenwriter, among other entertainment credits. He is also a Baron, the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, making Jamie Lady Haden-Guest.
3. If this Oscar winning actress, who once tracked Buffalo Bill, was to write something about a fantasy, she might call it a JOT OF DESIRE.

Answer: Jodie Foster

The movie was "Silence of the Lambs" and her character was Clarice Starling. Any female character who had to deal with Dr. Hannibal Lechter could easily become a Damsel In Distress if they let their guard down.

Jodie is an accomplished Producer and Director, as well as being an Actress. Her credits include "Taxi Driver", "Little Man Tate" and "Nell".
4. This actress, who may have chosen to take more baths following her famous scene, if describing whether she wanted to drink or dance, might have replied ALE THEN JIG.

Answer: Janet Leigh

The movie is "Psycho" and the shower scene is one of the most well known scenes in movie history. Janet certainly was a Damsel In Distress while staying at the somewhat confused Anthony Perkin's motel.

Janet starred with her husband Tony Curtis in "Houdini" and their daughter Jamie Lee Curtis in both "The Fog" and "Halloween H2O".
5. This actress had to avoid a walking carpet in her most famous movie. If she also worked in a fast food restaurant, and if asked if she had completed her cleaning, she might say EACH FRIER SIR.

Answer: Carrie Fisher

The movie is "Star Wars" and the walking carpet is of course Chewbacca. Being imprisoned and in the clutches of Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin is what made her a Damsel In Distress.

Carrie is best known for playing Princess Leia in "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". She also appeared in the movie "The Blues Brothers" and wrote the semi-autobiographical novel, which was made into a movie, "Postcards From the Edge".
6. Nicolas Cage guarded this actress in a movie, if you asked her who Terry was, she would say, he's one of my ANIMALS CHEERILY.

Answer: Shirley MacLaine

The movie is "Guarding Tess" and Shirley plays the ex-wife of a former President in the movie. Nicolas Cage is in charge of guarding this damsel in distress from an assassination plot. She is also known for being fond of her dog Terry.

Shirley's most famous role was in the movie "Terms of Endearment". She was also been in the movie "Steel Magnolias" and played the host of the "Past Lives Pavillion" in the movie "Defending Your Life".
7. AMAZON CIDER might be something that a character this actress lent her voice to might order at a pub, after being rescued from a dragon.

Answer: Cameron Diaz

The movie is "Shrek" and she was the voice of Fiona in this animated film. Early on in the movie Shrek and Donkey rescue Fiona from the dragon's castle.

Cameron Diaz has also stareed in the movies "The Mask", "There's Something About Mary" and "Being John Malkovich".
8. HIKING LAKE TYRE might be a relaxing day for this actress, considering all the trouble her character was involved in during the three films she did on the high seas.

Answer: Keira Knightley

The trilogy of movies is based around the Pirates of the Caribbean. Her character is held at knife point, kidnapped, stuck on a ship with ghost pirates, and that is just in the first half of one movie. In the beginning her character is often the Damsel In Distress, but she does her share of saving others from distress as the movies progress.

Keira has also been in the movies "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Pride and Prejudice".
9. RIB THROWING is something this actress's ladylike character might choose to do at the man who kidnapped her, before she was rescued by the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Answer: Robin Wright

The movie is "The Princess Bride". Giants, evil geniuses, over sized rats and skillful swordsmen are just some of the perils which this Damsel In Distress must avoid.

Robin has been in the movies "Forrest Gump", "Unbreakable" and "Nine Lives".
10. If someone was to give this actress, who had to be saved from superficiality, a flower meant for a young bovine, she would receive a CALVES INITIAL ROSE.

Answer: Alicia Silverstone

The movie is "Clueless" and whereas her character wasn't really in physical danger, this Damsel In Distress was often in need of help.

Alicia has also appeared in Aerosmith videos and in the movies "The Crush", as Batgirl in "Batman and Robin" and "Blast From the Past".
