Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Love Me Tender

Answer: Debra Paget

"Love Me Tender" (1956) was Elvis Presley's first film. He plays Clint Reno, the youngest of four brothers. Clint stayed home to take care of the family farm while his brothers fought in the Civil War.

Debra Paget plays Cathy, the wife of Elvis' character. Her career lasted from 1948 to 1963. She starred in several biblical epics, including "The Ten Commandments" (1956) as Lilla.
2. Flaming Star

Answer: Barbara Eden

"Flaming Star" (1960) was a bit of a departure for Elvis, as it features almost no singing. Elvis plays Pacer Burton, a half breed Kiowa, who is torn between two cultures. The film was directed by Don Siegel, who went on to direct some of Clint Eastwood's bigger films.

Barbara Eden plays Roslyn Pierce. She is best known as the title character on the 1960's sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie".
3. Girls! Girls! Girls!

Answer: Stella Stevens

"Girls! Girls! Girls!" (1962) features Elvis as Ross Carpenter, a fishing guide in Hawaii whose dream it is to own his own boat. There is a love triangle between Elvis, Stella Stevens and Laurel Goodwin.

Stella Stevens plays Robin Gantner, a night club singer. Stevens was an actress and model; she was the "Playboy" Playmate of the Month in January 1960. Other notable films starring Stevens include "The Nutty Professor" (1963), where she was Jerry Lewis' love interest, and the Dean Martin action film "The Silencers" (1966). Stevens continued acting until around 2006.
4. Fun in Acapulco

Answer: Ursula Andress

"Fun in Acapulco" was the biggest grossing musical of 1963. Ironically, none of the shots of Elvis are shot in Acapulco, as Mexican authorities refused to allow the singer into the country.

Elvis plays Mike Windgren, who becomes a lifeguard in Acapulco. The film ends with him making a death defying dive off the cliffs. They used a stunt diver; Paramount was not about to risk the life of one of their biggest stars.

Ursula Andress played Margarita Dauphin. Andress made film history as Honey Ryder, the very first Bond Girl in "Dr No" (1962). Her tendency to wear little clothing in her films earned her the nickname "Ursula Undress".
5. Viva Las Vegas

Answer: Ann-Margaret

"Viva Las Vegas" (1964) features Elvis as Lucky Jackson, a race car driver who is seeking to get a new engine for his car. The film features the title song as well as a great version of the Ray Charles classic "What'd I Say".

Ann-Margaret plays Rusty Martin, the swimming instructor at the hotel where Lucky is staying. She falls in love with Elvis (naturally, he's the star of the movie).

Ann-Margaret was an immigrant from Sweden, who started acting in Hollywood in 1961. Her first big role was in "Bye Bye Birdie" (1963). Other notable films in her career include "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965), "Carnal Knowledge" (1971) and "Tommy" (1975). She has won five Golden Globes over the course of her long career.
6. "Clambake" and "Spinout"

Answer: Shelley Fabares

Shelley Fabares first appearance in an Elvis film was "Girl Happy" (1965) followed by "Spinout" (1966) and "Clambake" (1967).

Elvis was once again a race car driver (and singer) in "Spinout", with Fabares playing spoiled heiress Cynthia Foxhugh. The plot has three women chasing after Elvis, who desperately wants to stay single.

In "Clambake" Elvis plays Scott Hayward, the scion of a millionaire who seeks to see what life is like as an ordinary person. Fabares plays golddigger Dianne Carter. After some twists and turns, she winds up with Elvis (the star of the film).

Fabares gained fame as daughter Mary Stone on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1963). She continued work in television, and was Christine on the ABC sitcom "Coach" (1989-1997). She also had a number one hit with "Johnny Angel" in April 1962.
7. Frankie and Johnny

Answer: Donna Douglas

"Frankie and Johnny" (1966) stars Elvis as Johnny, a singer on a riverboat with a gambling problem. Donna Douglas plays Frankie, his singing partner and girlfriend.

Donna Douglas is most famous as Elly May Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962-1971). The show was one of the biggest hits of the 1960s. "Frankie and Johnny" was effectively her last film role, although she did continue acting in television, even reprising her Elly Mae role in 1981. Douglas died January 1, 2015.
8. Speedway

Answer: Nancy Sinatra

"Speedway" (1968) is yet another film where Elvis is a race car driver. He plays Steve Grayson, whose crooked manager gets him in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. Nancy Sinatra plays Susan Jacks, the IRS agent who is handling Steve's case. Naturally, she winds up falling for Elvis. "Speedway" was Elvis' last formula musical.

Nancy Sinatra, the daughter of Frank, is best known as a singer. Her biggest hit was "These Boots Were Made for Walking" which was a #1 hit in February 1966. She also sang the "Bond" Theme "You Only Live Twice" (1967). Sinatra had a fairly brief film career; her most notable other film was "The Wild Angels" (1966) with Peter Fonda.
9. Change of Habit

Answer: Mary Tyler Moore

"Change of Habit" (1969) was Elvis' next to last film. He plays John Carpenter, an idealistic doctor working in an inner city neighborhood. Mary Tyler Moore plays (Sister) Michelle Gallagher, a novice doing an inner city mission before she takes her vows. Elvis does not know she is a nun, causing complications when he falls in love with her.

Mary Tyler Moore first became famous as Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-66). Proving her chops as a comedian, Moore went on to star on one the top sitcoms of the 1970s as news producer Mary Richards in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77). Moore received an Academy Award nomination for her work in "Ordinary People" (1980), a major departure from her screen persona. Moore died in January 2017.
10. Wild in the Country

Answer: Hope Lange

"Wild in the Country" (1961) stars Elvis as Glenn Tyler, a troubled youth who gets in trouble with the law. Hope Lange plays Irene Sperry, a court appointed counselor who is supposed to help Glenn straighten out his life. The film also stars Tuesday Weld as Elvis' cousin Noreen.

Hope Lange began acting in the 1950s and became famous for "Peyton Place" (1957). The risque film earned Lange both Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. Lange won two Emmy Awards for her work on "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" (1968-1970). Lange continued acting through the 1990s. She died in Janaury 2003.
