Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Alice Liddell is famous through her connection with what writer?

Answer: Lewis Carroll

Yes, she was the "inspiration" for "Alice in Wonderland". Dodgson seemed to be attracted to young, innocent girls.

2. Mozart was a child prodigy; his father was a towering presence in his life. What was the father's name?

Answer: Leopold

Early brilliance, early death. (Go see "Amadeus".)

3. The "little princes" were imprisoned in the Tower of London. What is the name of he King who is said to be responsible for their imprisonment - and murder?

Answer: Richard

Richard III. It's not certain if Richard was a monster who imprisoned the doomed little boys. (Consult your Shakespeare for one version of his character.)

4. Shirley Temple was a huge star who had a profound effect on the financial well-being of her studio. Which studio was it?

Answer: Fox

Almost all of her films were made for Fox - and her movies brought in tons of of money for the studio. Then, she walked away.

5. "A little child shall lead them" is a well-known line that is taken from the bible. What section?

Answer: Isaiah

The line has often been quoted.

6. The discovery of the tomb of King Tut made huge headlines. Who was the discoverer?

Answer: Howard Carter

Was the boy king murdered? Is there a curse on those who disturb the tomb? Lord Carnarvon (who was a member of Carter's "team") died "mysteriously".

7. Which Judy Garland movie does NOT include Mickey Rooney in the cast?

Answer: For Me and My Gal

That one was with Gene Kelly. Garland and Rooney worked together many times successfully - and had successes when working alone, too. Rooney has had a long career - but the huge success of the early early days of Judy Garland and Andy Hardy was never equalled. Garland had a tough life, despite the fame and talent.

8. Harold Gray created a famous young child. In what format?

Answer: Comic Strip

He wrote the "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip. It endured.

9. Joan of Arc led an army to victory - but paid the ultimate price in the end for her heroic feats. When did she accomplish her deeds?

Answer: 1400's

Her short life covered only a small part of the first half of the fifteenth century. Divine - or crazy?

10. Little Eva is associated with what writer?

Answer: Harriet Beecher Stowe

"Uncle Tom's Cabin". (Dickens would be "Little Dorrit".)
