Welcome to the Family Andrews Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dana Andrews

Born Carver Dana Andrews in the city of Collins in southern Mississippi, he made his film debut in 1940 in William Wyler's "The Westerner" starring Gary Cooper. He quickly became one of Hollywood's major stars, frequently playing servicemen in World War II movies.

Towards the end of his career, Andrews was part of the all-star cast in the spoof movie "Airport 1975" which also featured the likes of Charlton Heston, Myrna Loy, Sid Caesar, Gloria Swanson and Helen Reddy.

Andrews continued acting into his seventies, making one of his final screen appearances in the TV soap "Falcon Crest" in the early 1980s. De died aged 83 in 1992.

Answer: Archie Andrews

Hard as it may be to believe, London-born Peter Brough and 'upper-class twit' Archie Andrews first became stars on UK radio in the 1950s. Now, I may be fairly useless as a ventriloquist, but even I could give a convincing performance on radio!

The switch to TV required Brough to prove that he really was a ventriloquist rather than someone who could speak with two different voices, which he duly did. Of course, though, Archie was always the 'star' of the show. Brough died at the age of 83 in 1999 and the original Archie Andrews puppet, which was made in 1942, was sold for more than £30,000 at auction in 2005.

It has twice been adapted for film, firstly in 1987 with Kristy Swanson (who played followed by playing Buffy Summers on film) as Cathy Dollanganger and Louise Fletcher as her grandmother, Olivia. In the 2014 film version, Kiernan Shipka plays Cathy and Ellen Burstyn is Olivia.

When the BBC decided to run their own version of "What's My Line" in 1951, a panel game show that had begun in the US a year before, Eamonn Andrews was quickly established as the regular 'chairman'. It was a job he did for the next twelve years and again when the show was revived in 1984.

In 1955, Andrews became the first host of the BBC's "This is Your Life", another concept imported from the States. Apart from a five-year gap in the late 1960s, the show ran continuously, with Andrews at the helm, until he died more than thirty years later.
