Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the character Kate Winslett portrays in "Titanic"?

Answer: Rose DeWitt Bukater

James Cameron, director of "Titanic", based the character of Rose on Beatrice Wood, daughter of a wealthy San Francisco family. She led a long and interesting life, but did not in actual fact sail on the Titanic. Due to her age, she declined an invitation to the premiere of the film, but James Cameron presented her with a video to watch at home. She died at the age of 105, a year after the film was released.
2. What was the reign number of Russia's Catherine the Great?

Answer: Catherine II

Only two Catherines reigned as Empress of Russia. Catherine I was the first woman to hold Russian Imperial power in her own right. Both Catherines became supreme ruler on the death of their husbands, Peter I and Peter III respectively.
3. Which blonde Oscar winner is actress Kate Hudson's mother?

Answer: Goldie Hawn

Kate Hudson closely resembles Goldie Hawn and, like her, is a successful actress. They both tend to be typecast in "ditzy blonde" rom com roles.
4. The former Miss Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge and future queen, has the same baptismal names as two former queens of England. What are her names?

Answer: Catherine Elizabeth

Good choice on the part of the Middleton parents, that. Think of the shock/horror at the Palace if they had chosen to call her Kylie Shaylene instead!

There have been two Queens regnant named Elizabeth, and three Elizabeths who were Queens Consort, including the mother of Elizabeth II, fondly known as the Queen Mum.

No Catherines have reigned in their own right, but there have been five consorts with that name, several of whom were wives of Henry VIII.
5. With Lee Marvin as her leading man, which member of a prominent acting family portrayed "Cat Ballou" in the 1965 film of the same name?

Answer: Jane Fonda

Lee Marvin won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in "Cat Ballou". Jane Fonda did not win any awards for that film, but she did pick up two Best Actress Oscars at the height of her career: one for "Klute" (1972) and the other for "Coming Home" (1979).
6. According to the nursery rhyme, what did Kitty Fisher do when Lucy Lockett lost her pocket?

Answer: Found it.

"Lucy Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it. There was not a penny in it, Just a ribbon round it."

Just as well that the little children who recite the rhyme are unaware of its origin. It would appear that Lucy and Kitty were ladies of questionable virtue. Lucy had an admirer who paid her for her favours (therefore referred to as her "pocket"). She lost her "pocket" and Kitty Fisher found it, when he transferred his affections from Lucy to Kitty. Sadly, by then he had lost all his money, so the "pocket" was empty!
7. For which film did Kathy Bates win the Best Actress Academy Award?

Answer: Misery

Kathy Bates won an Academy Award for "Misery", and she was also nominated for "Primary Colors" (1998) and for "About Schmidt" (2002).
8. In Christian iconography, what is St Catherine's symbol?

Answer: A wheel

When visiting an art gallery and seeing religious paintings by the Old Masters, it is always useful to know which saint or martyr you are looking at. Obligingly, the artist usually pops in a helpful clue.
St Catherine was martyred by being broken on a wheel, hence the wheel in her pictures.
St Lucia had her eyes put out and she is always carrying two eyeballs about on a little saucer, despite still having her eyes in her head in the paintings.
St Barbara's pictures always incorporate the tower in which she was imprisoned; St Stephen has a bunch of arrows stuck in his body; somewhere in a picture of St Lawrence you will see the grill on which he was roasted alive, and so it goes. Being a martyr was not a barrel of laughs!
9. Which famous diarist addressed all the entries in the diary to an imaginary friend named Kitty?

Answer: Anne Frank

All young girls need a bestie of their own age to share their secrets. Sequestered as she was, Anne had no such friend, so she invented Kitty to confide in.
10. You can't have a trivia quiz about Catherines without mentioning Henry VIII. How many Catherines (whatever the spelling) did that serial bridegroom marry?

Answer: Three

He divorced his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, mother of the future Queen Mary. Katherine Howard, fifth wife, who had no children, was beheaded for infidelity. Catherine Parr, sixth wife, outlived him.
