Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Before Schuyler Grant became the character Diana, she was the first choice for which character?

Answer: Anne Shirley

She was originally chosen to be Anne but many thought Anne should be played by a Canadian actress. So Megan Follows was chosen, despite a "lackluster" first audition.

2. Only a small percent of the first two Anne movies were filmed in Prince Edward Island (PEI). What might that percentage be?

Answer: 5

An example of this is The White Way of Delight which is a piece of drive surrounded in flowers that we see in the scene where Matthew drives Anne home from the station. The White Way of Delight is really an orchard in Ontario.

3. The night scene at the orphanage (when Anne talks to Katie in the window), was actually shot in broad daylight.

Answer: True

They did an excellent job making it look like night!

4. Which was the first scene to be filmed?

Answer: Anne and Marilla walking back from the Lyndes after the apology

Anne's apology to Mrs. Lynde was one of the first scenes shot, but Anne and Marilla walking back from the Lyndes after the apology was actually the first scene to be shot.

5. Where did the film makers take Miss Stacey's famous line, "The truth will set you free," from?

Answer: An archway at Victoria College

Victoria College was where portions of the movie were filmed and that is where they saw the phrase on the archway. It is a passage in the Bible - John 8:32. Inspired by that phrase they added it to the script and it is a quote many people use across the world.

6. An extra in the background of the Christmas ball scene, where Gilbert snubs Anne looked like which familiar personage?

Answer: Santa Claus

He's an extra that liked to ride his Harley Davidson!

7. Megan Follows was extremely nervous about her scene when she performed "The Highwayman".

Answer: True

It just goes to show everyone gets nervous!

8. What was Kevin Sullivan's favourite scene?

Answer: Marilla comforting a crying Anne after Matthew's death

This scene was not originally in the script. But adding this scene was a great choice as the emotion in it is powerful.

9. Because it was so windy during the filming of the sunset scene with Anne and Diana, Trudy Grant had to lie down on the ground, holding their dresses down.

Answer: True

Lucky they had someone to hold them down otherwise it would have been a big problem!

10. Richard Farnsworth (Matthew) had doubles in scenes of the film.

Answer: True

Richard Farnsworth, because of scheduling conflicts, had to have a stand-in for various scenes throughout the film. For example, during the scene where Anne decides to apologize to Mrs. Lynde there is a stand-in for Richard Farnsowrth. The frontward shots of him were filmed later.
