Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these actresses had a famous father (he starred in Broadway's "Babes In Arms") and she was considered a "blonde bombshell" in the 1960s?

Answer: Joey Heatherton

Joey Heatherton's father was Ray Heatherton, a popular singer and dancer.
She spent more than 10 years touring with Bob Hope, entertaining US troops
around the world. Joey Heatherton was often compared to Ann-Margret, another famous femme fatale of the time.

Mamie Van Doren and Jayne Mansfield were, indeed, blonde bombshells, but without famous fathers. And although Rhonda Fleming was a bombshell, I think she had red hair.

2. Which actor played Tarzan on TV in the 1960s?

Answer: Ron Ely

Ron was famous for doing all his own stunts, sometimes with painful results,
including several tiger maulings. A popular episode included the Supremes (as singing nuns!). "Tarzan" debuted on NBC in 1966 and ran for two seasons. In addition, Ely appeared in several episodes of "Sea Hunt" with Lloyd Bridges.

The others all played Tarzan in the movies. Elmo Lincoln played Tarzan in silent movies. Johnnie Weismuller was probably the most famous movie Tarzan and Christopher Lambert played him in the 1990s.

3. One of the more recent D-list celebrities who is famous for being famous is this great-grand-daughter of a hotel tycoon. Can you name her?

Answer: Paris Hilton

She shot to fame in her reality show on the Fox Network called "The Simple Life" which ran four seasons from 2003 to 2007. Her great-grand-father was Conrad Hilton, founder of the international hotel chain that still bears his (and her) name.

4. He was a wonderful British actor, for many years he was Merv Griffin's sidekick. What was his name?

Answer: Arthur Treacher

Arthur Treacher was Merv Griffin's foil on "The Merv Griffin Show" which ran
from 1962 to 1986. He was famous for his butler roles in films such as "Jeeves"
and "Heidi".

In one of his last screen appearances, he was seen as the Constable in "Mary Poppins". He was a dear and funny man. The banter between him and Merv was always good natured.

5. He may not have been the most famous member of the "Rat Pack", but audiences loved his sense of cool. Who was he?

Answer: Joey Bishop

Joey had a long and distinguished career on stage, in movies and on TV. Always a very funny man. "The Joey Bishop Show" ran for four seasons in the early 1960s.

6. This little Latin spitfire, once married to Xavier Cugat, was all the rage in the 1970s. What was the name of the "coochie-coochie" girl?

Answer: Charo

In the 1970s it seemed she was on every talk show on TV and was popular on "Hollywood Squares". Charo lives in Hawaii and has authored some wonderful cookbooks.

7. This guy made all the ladies swoon on "The Carol Burnett Show". What's his name?

Answer: Lyle Waggoner

He was a talented actor, able to play both comedy as well as drama. He was a true professional. In the late 70s, he did a stint as Major Steve Trevor on "The New Adventures of Wonder Woman".

8. An original "Laugh-In" cast member, she has had a long (and loud) career in movies, TV and theatre. Do you remember her name?

Answer: Jo Anne Worley

Jo Anne Worley has been charming audiences for more than 40 years. She is a funny and gifted comedienne. More recently, you may have seen her as Rosemary on "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

Answer: Elke Sommer

Elke Sommers was very popular in 1960s light comedies. She was a delightful foil to Peter Seller's bumbling Inspector Clouseau in "A Shot In The Dark". She feuded with actress Zsa Zsa Gabor after they had appeared together in "Circus of the Stars" in 1984.

10. This contemporary funny lady has elevated the D-List to high art on stage and on TV. She was the star of Bravo's reality TV series "My Life on the D-List". Who is she?

Answer: Kathy Griffin

Whether you are a fan or not, Kathy Griffin knows D-List celebrities when she sees them. She was born in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park and got her professional start in the L.A. improv group "The Groundlings". She continues to do stand-up comedy, including a world tour.
