Answer: Daryl Hannah

This was an up-dated version of Rostand's "Cyrano De Bergerac", a man whose nose hid his love and talents. Roxanne was the woman of his dreams and poetry. Hannah also played a Southern belle in "Steel Magnolias"(1989), a mermaid in "Splash"(1984), and a one-eyed killer in both parts of "Kill Bill"(2003, 2004).

Answer: Madonna

Madonna might be best described as an entrepreneur. Born Louise Ciccone, she first sought success as a dancer but turned to acting, singing, and as a performer. Her behavior often pushed the envelope and made her a recognizable name even among non-fans. Her role in "Evita" was challenged by some who thought the role should have gone to a Latino actress.

Answer: George Segal/Jane Fonda

Both versions tell the story of an upper middle-class couple coping with financial reversal by knocking over convenience stores and banks and avoiding immigration authorities. Although the 1977 version is somewhat dated, it has the edge in belly laughs. George Segal and Jane Fonda have a long list of credits since the 1960s.
