It's a Wrap Trivia Quiz

Answer: "It's like a chicken attacked by a coyote!"

That was in the 1935 musical comedy, "Top Hat" where Fred played a man who had moved to London to star in a show being produced there, and met and fell in love with Ginger's character along the way. During the argument, Ginger burst into tears and her enraged mother charged onto the set.

They quickly resolved the argument, and Ginger got to wear her dress with its moulting feathers which so annoyed Fred, and which can be seen floating in the air in the film if you look closely. Afterwards Fred always called her "Feathers" during their lifelong friendship, and had a tiny gold feather made for her charm bracelet.

He presented this to her as he and the choreographer parodied the song "Cheek to Cheek" from the show with the words: "Feathers - I hate feathers/And I hate them so that I can hardly speak/And I never find the happiness I seek/With those chicken feathers dancing/Cheek to cheek."

Answer: "I wasn't aware that you'd started, my dear"

The brilliant Katarine Hepburn won an astonishing four Academy Awards and a wealth of other acting awards during her long and sterling career on stage, film and television. These include one for the 1933 film "Morning Glory", the 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", another for the 1968 "The Lion in Winter" and her final one for the 1981 film "On Golden Pond". John Barrymore's career spanned stage and both the silent and the early "talkies" era of movies.

He was a noted Shakespearian actor but also capable of playing light comedic roles as well, such as that in the 1932 film "Dinner at Eight" in which he plays Larry Renault, a drunken has been actor.

Answer: "There Was Madness in His Methot"

Mayo Methot's acting career spanned the thirties and she appeared in such films as the 1932 "Virtue" in which she played a prostitute, and in the 1934 film "The Case of the Curious Bride" playing another role like those she typically played, that of tough talking women or other unsympathetic characters.

She was married to Bogart from 1938 to 1945, but her increasing violence and drinking eventually led to the breakdown of this relationship. Born in 1904, she died alone in a motel room in 1951 where her body lay undiscovered for days.

When Bogart heard the news, he looked sad and remarked briefly, "Such a waste" and made no further comment.

Answer: True Grit

In this 1969 movie, Wayne played the role of US Marshall Rooster Cogburn - complete with a patch to cover his missing eye. He was over the hill, hard to get along with and overly fond of the bottle when we first met him, and had been hired by a young girl to track down the killer of her father.

It's a great movie, full of wonderful one-liners, plenty of action, and with a more or less happy ending.

Answer: Groucho Marx

Groucho Marx was the master of quip. Fast talking and a rapid thinker, the puns poured out of this incredibly funny man who also had a remarkably sensitive side which he rarely revealed to the public. He made thirteen films with his team of siblings, The Marx Brothers, including the 1935 "Night at the Opera" which has been ranked by the American Film Institute in their list of the top twelve funniest films ever made. Marx also had a successful solo career hosting radio and television quiz shows. Forced to leave school early in his youth to help earn money to keep the large family he was born into together, Marx became a voracious reader all his life and was the complete self-educated man with an extraordinary range of knowledge.

He died in 1977 at the age of 86 after a lifetime of giving the gift of laughter to the world. Just to leave you with another quote from this funny man: "Why sir, I'd horse-whip you if I had a horse".

Answer: Clark Gable

Gee, Mr Zannuck, tell us what you really think. Clark Gable would go on to become known as the King of Hollywood, and, in 1999, the American Film Institute listed him as number seven on their list of the greatest male stars of all time. In 1931, after slapping Norma Shearer's face as part of his role as a gangster in the film, "A Free Soul" he never again played anything but leading roles. (Not recommended gentlemen if you're planning a career in film).

His most famous role was as Rhett Butler in the 1939 film "Gone With the Wind", and in 1934 he won an Academy Award for his role in the movie "It Happened One Night." Married four times, this self-deprecating actor was considered the true Hollywood heartthrob by his millions of adoring female fans worldwide. So frankly, Mr Zanuck, he probably didn't give a damn about your comments.

Answer: Ronald Reagan

Born in 1911 and passing away in 2004, Republican Ronald Reagan was the fortieth president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. In March 1981, he and three others were shot in an assassination attempt by the crazed fan of actress Jodie Foster, John Hinckley Junior.

The bullet which hit the President only just missed his heart and lodged an inch away in his left lung. As he was rushed into emergency surgery, he made this now famous quip. Equally as well known was the immediate response of "Today Mr President, we're all Republicans." In his earlier days, Ronald Reagan was a Hollywood actor in many B Grade films, never making it to the the top in that profession.

He would joke of the poor quality films in which he appeared then that "Producers didn't want them good, they wanted them Thursday."

Answer: "Could've been Cranberry, with you described as a turkey"

Crawford (1905-77), had a career spanning the silent films to the talkies. She was known for her roles in such films as the 1929 "The Untamed", the 1962 "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" and the 1945 movie, "Mildred Pierce" for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

She was married four times, with her first marriage to big name star Douglas Fairbanks Jr, lasting from 1929 to 1933. She adopted five children during these marriages, one of whom was taken back by the birth mother. Of the other four, she disinherited two, resulting in an acrimonious book "Mommie Dearest" written by one of them. Released after her death, the accusations of physical and emotional abuse made in this book were hotly denied by Crawford's friends, her co-workers and her two youngest children.

Answer: W.C. Fields

Charlie McCarthy of course was the wooden dummy that ventriloquist Edgar Bergen used in his act and this line was taken from a skit between Charlie and Fields on a radio network. W.C. Fields was born in 1880, and created a Hollywood career as a hard drinking, children, women and animal hating misanthrope. Fields in fact for the greater part of his life didn't drink alcohol at all, but long months touring on the road with his acts eventually saw him keeping a bottle in his dressing rooms so that fellow performers and he could keep company with each other on the lonely nights away from their homes. Sadly, this hospitality eventually led him to drinking himself and by the time he died in 1946, he was more than fond of the substance.

Answer: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger, born in 1947, has been a champion body builder, an actor, a businessman and in 2003 became the 38th Governor of California. More than anything else perhaps, he is known for his role in the 1984 "The Terminator" films, in which he played a cyborg sent back from the future to initially kill the future leader of a world wide resistance to machines.

In his follow up films as this character, he subsequently played the role of the same cyborg, now turned hero. Schwarzenegger has also shown himself more than capable of playing fine comic roles in films as well.

In 1986 he married Maria Shriver, niece of the late American President John F. Kennedy. You either love or hate the man. I think he's very entertaining, easy on the eye - and he makes me laugh like crazy.
