Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Miles and Stella

Andrew is her brother, Andrew Shue. He starred on "Melrose Place".
Lisa is Elisabeth's nickname.

The name Sheila was stuck in there for people not paying attention. Miles was born in 1997 (coincidently on my birthday), and Stella in 2001.

Answer: Glory

Elisabeth was in the TV movie and short-lived TV series "Call to Glory", but not in the Denzel Washington film "Glory". She was Fay in "Deconstructing Harry", Jane Chase in "Link", and Emily Adams in "Twenty Bucks".

Answer: City of Angels

Elisabeth was born on October 6, 1963, in Wilmington, Delaware. She is a direct descendant of Mayflower pilgrims, and is very well-educated, having graduated from Harvard with a degree in Political Science.

4. In which film did Elisabeth's character receive a set of keys from her boyfriend at the end of the movie?

Answer: Heart and Souls

"Heart and Souls" was a very charming movie starring Elisabeth, Robert Downey Jr., and Kyra Sedgwick. Kyra, Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, and Tom Sizemore were killed in a bus accident at the exact second that a baby was born in a nearby car. The ghosts attached themselves to the baby's psyche, and caused him years worth of unwanted, but hilarious attention. Elisabeth plays the girlfriend trying to have some semblance of a relationship with a seeming nutcase.

Answer: The necklace with the black cross

"Leaving Las Vegas" was a very successful attempt at breaking the string of "thankless girlfriend" roles that she had wanted to move away from. It garnered her a Best Actress Oscar nomination in 1995, which was won by Susan Sarandon for "Dead Man Walking".

6. What is the name of the film in which Elisabeth played a courtesan who had the men lined up, vying for her affections?

Answer: Cousin Bette

Elisabeth gets to sing and play the vamp in "Cousin Bette". Jenny Cadine is one of Elisabeth's more offbeat characters. She gets a thorough psych job done on her by Bette, played by Jessica Lange.

7. Elisabeth has played opposite many of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Who was her co-star in the movie "Cocktail"?

Answer: Tom Cruise

She played Jordan Mooney opposite Tom Cruise in "Cocktail". (Has anyone asked her how much fun it was dumping the food all over Tom?) She played Linda McKay opposite Kevin Bacon in "Hollow Man" and she played Lori Craven in "Soapdish" with an ensemble cast that included Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr., and Whoopi Goldberg.

8. Elisabeth was born in Delaware, but where did she grow up?

Answer: South Orange, NJ

Elisabeth was a tomboy who grew up with her brothers in South Orange. She was very sports-oriented, and parlayed a talent for gymnastics into being cast in a TV commercial. She was just trying to pay for college, but the hobby turned into a twenty year profession.

9. Elisabeth had a terrible time with the tabloids during and after the making of "The Saint". What did the tabloids accuse Elisabeth of?

Answer: Having an affair with Val Kilmer

Elisabeth went on "Entertainment Tonight" and defended herself against the allegations that she and Val Kilmer were seeing each other, while she was married to "NYPD Blue" director Davis Guggenheim. She has always maintained her innocence.

10. In which movie did Elisabeth play a bored housewife with a checkered past who had to cope with a sick child?

Answer: The Trigger Effect

Annie has to deal with a less than exciting husband, a child with an earache who needs amoxicillin, and a houseguest that she wants to spend more time with than her own husband-all during a blackout in "The Trigger Effect".
