Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The "It" Girl

Answer: Clara Bow

Clara started in silent films and successfully transitioned into talkies. One of Hollywood's earliest sex symbols. Her first movie was "It", which is how she acquired the nickname the It girl. She appeared in 57 movies including "Wings", which won the first Academy Award for Best Picture, before retiring in 1931.
2. The Lip

Answer: Leo Durocher

Leo was a Major League Baseball player and manager. Known for his tempestuous personality, he was traded often because of clashes with umpires and team managers. After playing infield for the Yankees, he also played for the Reds, Cardinals and Dodgers. He managed five National League teams later in his sports career and was famous for his statement, "Nice guys finish last".
3. Lucky

Answer: Charles Lindbergh

Most famous for his first solo non-stop flight between North America and Europe, he also had the nicknames "Lindy", "The Lone Eagle" and "Slim". He was the author of several books capitalizing on his history-making exploit. A movie was made about his flight in the 1950s starring James Stewart in the lead.
4. Chairman of the Board

Answer: Frank Sinatra

Sinatra had a long and distinguished entertainment career. He was a popular vocalist from the 1940s through the 1990s. He also acted in many films, often playing brash and edgy characters. However, he won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a sensitive, bullied soldier in "From Here to Eternity" (1953). His other nicknames include "Ol' Blue Eyes", "The Voice" and "The Sultan of Swoon".
5. The Great Profile

Answer: John Barrymore

John was part of an acting family that included his sister Ethyl and brother Lionel. He had early success with the stage role of Hamlet which led to him being called "the greatest living American tragedian". He went on to star in silent films, and his trained voice was an asset when talkies blossomed.

Unfortunately, his later life was marred by alcohol use, divorces and roles that parodied his problems. He passed away in 1942 at age 60.
6. Dubya

Answer: George W. Bush

George W. Bush was America's 43rd President and served two terms from 2001 to 2009. "Dubya" is a corrupted way to pronounce his middle initial W, which is for Walker. It also distinguishes him from his father and former U.S. President George H.W. (Herbert Walker) Bush.
7. The Velvet Fog

Answer: Mel Tormé

Mel was best known a vocalist of pop music, but was also a musician, composer and actor. His nickname derived from the languid, mellow tone of his singing voice. Perhaps his best known musical composition was "The Christmas Song" (a.k.a "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire").

His singing hits include "Autumn in New York", "Too Close for Comfort" and "Sunday in New York". He also acted in such movies as "Pardon My Rhythm" (1944), "Good News" (1947), and "Words and Music" (1948).
8. The King of Cool

Answer: Steve McQueen

Steve started out as a stage actor. He had to overcome some handicaps (dyslexia and deafness), but had his big break starring in the western-themed TV show "Wanted: Dead or Alive" which aired for three seasons beginning in 1958. He went on to star in mainly action/adventure films such as "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965), "The Sand Pebbles" (1966) and "Papillon" (1973) where he specialized in portraying the unflappable (hence "cool") anti-hero type.
9. The Penguin

Answer: Ron Cey

Cey was a baseball player who always played third base. During his 16 year professional career (1971-87), he was part of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, and Oakland Athletics teams. He got his name in college from his coach, Chuck Brayton, because of Cey's slow, waddling running style.
10. The Ancient One

Answer: Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln is considered by most historians as one of America's greatest Presidents. His two-term administration dealt with many controversial issues which may be researched elsewhere. Regrettably, his second term was cut short and he became America's first assassinated President.

His nickname derived from his seemingly deep wisdom. Some of his other nicknames are "Honest Abe", "The Rail Splitter" and "The Great Emancipator".
