Answer: Richard Avedon

Said to be a spur-of-the-moment decision, this photo is probably more widely recognized than any of Nastassja's films.

Answer: True

No matter what your age, Quincy Jones' music is all around you. From the "Austin Powers" movies, to "Kill Bill", to "The History of Rock 'N' Roll" Vols 1-10, you're humming his music and you may not even realize it.

9. What did Roman Polanski insist that Nastassja do before he would cast her in the movie "Tess"?

Answer: Go to drama school and speech therapy

Polanski did not believe that Nastassja could carry a movie without professional help. She also needed to lose her German accent to be believable as an English maiden. He sent her to the U.S. for six months to study Method Acting under the tutelage of Lee Strasberg.

10. Nastassja made three films with Wim Wenders, "Paris, Texas", "The Wrong Move", and this sequel to "Wings of Desire". Name the film.

Answer: Faraway So Close

Wim Wenders is the definition of multi-talented: actor, director, producer, cinematographer, soundman, and writer. He worked on U2's video, "U2: The Best of 1990-2000", and "Willie Nelson at the Teatro", as well as dozens of films.
