Bridges Under Troubled Water Trivia Quiz

Answer: Beau Bridges

Beau Bridges was born on 9th December 1941 by candlelight, in a power blackout in Hollywood, following the attack on Pearl Harbour which was two days previous.
Beau has an impressive stack of awards including three Emmys, two Golden Globes, a Grammy and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, situated right next to his father's and brother's stars. Safe to say he has moved from candlelight to starlight.

Answer: The Fabulous Baker Boys

Romantic-comedy-drama-musical film "The Fabulous Baker Boys" was released in 1989. The titular "Baker Boys" were played by Beau and Jeff Bridges, which was an unusual occurrence - it wasn't often they were involved in a project together. Jeff was approached first to play Jack, and despite the director's reluctance to cast real-life siblings, once he met Beau, he was persuaded to change his mind, feeling that Beau was perfect for the role of Frank. Michelle Pfeiffer played the love interest, singer Susie Diamond, performing a sultry rendition of 'Makin' Whoopee' whilst cavorting on a grand piano.

The film achieved critical acclaim, but this wasn't reflected in box office sales. It was nominated for, but didn't receive, four Academy awards. Red Crew's smpdit would be more likely sing about makin' whoopie pies.

She is a gifted baker, not a gifted singer.

Answer: The "Dude" from Big Lebowski and Zen Buddhism

The book, "The Dude and the Zen Master", is a stream of consciousness recounting of conversations between Bridges and his Zen master, Bernie Glassman. The two are apparently great friends, and the tales they tell get personal and full of humor while also tackling heavy topics and explaining Buddhist tenets. It may be hard, but the goal in life is to be as 'The Dude', and simply abide.
