Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which celebrity was often referred to as "Ol' Blue Eyes"?

Answer: Frank Sinatra

Francis Albert Sinatra's other nicknames included "The Voice" and "The Chairman of the Board". He was born an only child on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey.

2. Which of these celebrities has been called "the hardest working man in show business"?

Answer: James Brown

Also known as "Soul Brother Number One," "The Godfather of Soul," and "Mr. Dynamite." In my personal opinion, no other African-American has been so influential in the course of popular music.

3. Which of these actors has been called "the man of a thousand faces"?

Answer: Lon Chaney, Sr.

Lon Chaney was born on April Fool's Day in 1883 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a master of disguise. It has even been jokingly said "I never met a Lon Chaney I didn't like." He made over 70 short and feature films, 99% of which were silent.

4. Which of these comedians was lovingly referred to as "Mr. Television"?

Answer: Milton Berle

Berle was so popular that NBC signed him to a 30 year contract and paid him a yearly salary, whether he worked or not. My dad tells me that the main reason people bought a television when he was a boy was to watch "Uncle Miltie."

5. Which celebrity was often referred to as "the man of a thousand voices"?

Answer: Mel Blanc

Most people know that Mel Blanc provided the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, but did you know he was also Woody Woodpecker and Barney Rubble?

6. Which of these comedic actors was called "The Great One"?

Answer: Jackie Gleason

Herbert John Gleason broke into show business by winning amateur-night contest at age 15. Better known as Jackie, his most notable character was Ralph Kramden.

7. Which famous director was known as the "Master of Suspense"?

Answer: Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born on August 13, 1899. I wonder if it was a Friday? It has been said that Hitchcock actually invented the "thriller" genre.

8. Which veteran rocker will probably always be known as "The Boss"?

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born on September 23, 1949 in Freehold, New Jersey. He has won more than ten Grammies, at least one People's Choice Award and even an Oscar. In 1997 he was one of two recipients presented with The Polar Music Prize by the King of Sweden.

9. Which actor was commonly referred to as the "Duke"?

Answer: John Wayne

On how he got the nickname, "Duke?, John Wayne said: "There's been a lot of stories about how I got to be called Duke. One was that I played the part of a duke in a school play -- which I never did. Sometimes they even said I was descended from royalty! It was all a lot of rubbish. The truth is that I was named after a dog."

10. Which talk show host has been labeled "The Ringmaster"?

Answer: Jerry Springer

His show is kind of like a three-ring circus!
