Clara Gordon Bow was born in New York to Robert and Sarah Bow on July 29, 1905. Clara was the only surviving child for Robert and Sarah. When Clara was sixteen she won a small role on a movie from a contest in "Fame and Fortune". Clara's first movie was the 1922 film "Beyond the Rainbow", but Clara was seen as an amateur actress and her scenes were cut. It was only later when her movie career took root that Clara's scenes were put back into "Beyond the Rainbow". She went to Hollywood in 1923. One of the movies Clara did was titled "It" about a woman who had lots of sex appeal. It was after this movie she garnered her nickname. In 1930, a scandal broke out involving Clara's personal secretary Daisy Devoe. Miss Devoe had been charged with stealing money from Clara. Daisy Devoe was given five years probation for her crime. In retaliation for her sentence and her firing, Daisy divulged Clara's personal and private secrets. When rumors began flying around about Clara's sexual life, she had a breakdown. In 1931, Clara married Rex Bell and moved to his ranch in Nevada. Clara made two pictures for Fox and retired to her Nevada ranch.

From Quiz Hairstyles of Celebrities Yesterday and Today

Answer: Farrah Fawcett

The super popular poster in 1979 can be seen in the movie, "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta. His father gawks at the poster on his son's wall. Her hair was known as the best hair style in the early 70s. The style of the hair was called the "antigravity hairstyle" according to Paul Glick. The cut takes a lot of hair and a lot of hot curlers and a whole bunch of layers. Now toss your hair like her character in "Charlie's Angels", private investigator Jill Munroe, and you have it perfected! Farrah was nominated for an Emmy in the movie, "The Burning Bed" based on a true story about an abused woman. She didn't win in 1985, but was outstanding for her role.

From Quiz Guess

Answer: Prince

I saw Prince in concert in Las Vegas a few years back. The man had an amazing demeanor about him. He could sing and dance and he didn't do such a bad job acting either. Prince left this planet a little too early in 2016 at the very young age of 57. I can't think of one other person that was known as a number versus a name, but luckily his "symbol" was short lived and he became our Prince again.

From Quiz Peter Without Paul and Mary

Answer: Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger (1919-2014) was the singer-songwriter we were looking for. Seeger played the five string banjo and the twelve string guitar to accompany his songs, most in the country style. Seeger recorded more than fifty studio albums, a number of live albums and compilation albums. He was also known for writing songs for other people and for taking part in heated public discussions (for the civil rights, against the Vietnam war and other conflicts...). Pete Seeger's major songs were "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" (1955), performed by (among others) Marlene Dietrich; "If I Had a Hammer" (1949) made into a hit by the band Peter, Paul and Mary and by Trini Lopez; and "Turn, Turn, Turn" (first released in 1962) which was taken by The Byrds to the top of the Billboard 100. The song "Turn, Turn, Turn" took the lyrics mostly from the Bible book Ecclesiastes. As for the wrong answers: Pete Townshend (born 1945) was one of the members of the rock band The Who, for whom he sang, composed, and played several instruments. Peter Yarrow (born 1938) was the tenor in the aforesaid trio Peter, Paul and Mary - with Paul being the nickname for Noel Stookey, the baritone, and Mary Travers singing the alto voice. Pierre Van Ostade (1917-2005) was the voice to announce the prizes won in various television shows on Dutch television during the seventies and eighties.

From Quiz And Then You Go and Spoil It All

Answer: Joffrey Baratheon

King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) met a horrible and frothy end when he drank poisoned wine at his own wedding. Though a "vicious idiot" his demise at age 19 put the futures of his sister and uncle, and the rest of the Baratheons, into dangerous chaos. Irishman Gleeson (born 1992) starred in four seasons of "Game of Thrones" (2011-2014), and was nominated for Best TV Villain and We Love to Hate You awards. When he retired he told "Entertainment Weekly" he'd been acting since he was a kid and it was fun recreation for him. He wasn't interested in acting as a profession. One hopes it wasn't the gruesome beheading of upstanding foes that spoiled his enthusiasm. Gleeson planned to finish his last year at college.
