4. This frequent "Saturday Night Live" host was born in Waco, Texas, in 1945.

Answer: Steve Martin

Steve Martin made his break as an off-beat comedian in the 1970s; one of his best-known gags was the old "arrow-through-the-head" trick. Through its first 29 seasons, he has hosted "SNL" 13 times, more than anyone else, and he has appeared as a featured performer many times.

His best-known movies are "The Jerk" (1979), "All of Me" (1984), "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" (1987), and "Father of the Bride" (1991).

6. This actor was an all-star hockey goalie in high school.

Answer: Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves' prowess as a hockey goalie was such that he had earned the nickname "The Wall." Though it would've been interesting to see how he might have fared on the ice, he elected to pursue an acting career, instead. His acting credits are numerous, including "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989), "Speed" (1994), and the "Matrix" trilogy.
7. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, this two-time Academy Award winner once played opposite James Earl Jones in a Broadway production of Shakespeare's "Othello".

Answer: Dianne Wiest

She has also been in "Radio Days" (1987), "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), and "The Birdcage" (1996).

9. This "Ghostbusters" (1984) cast member made his break on a sketch comedy program, most notably as one of two dim-witted Canadian brothers.

Answer: Rick Moranis

Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (No, not the Dave Thomas of Wendy's!) paired up on "Second City TV" as Bob and Doug McKenzie, a pair of beer-drinking, touk-wearing, back bacon-eating oafs that went around saying "Take off, hoser!" As the McKenzie Brothers, they became so popular in both the United States and Canada, they made the movie "Strange Brew" (1983). Rick Moranis was also in "Spaceballs" (1987), "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989), and "The Flintstones" (1994).
10. By answering the previous nine questions correctly, you should be able to name the movie they all had done together. What is the title of this 1989 comedy, directed by Ron Howard?

Answer: Parenthood

For Ron Howard, "Parenthood" followed on the heels of his hits "Splash" (1984), "Cocoon" (1985), and "Willow" (1988), earning him a strong reputation as an A-list director. Nominated for two Academy Awards (including Best Supporting Actress, for Dianne Wiest), "Parenthood" examined the chaos that is the harmony in a typical extended American family.
