Just Jennifers Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jennifer Jones

Jennifer Jones (1919-2009) was one of Hollywood's great stars during 'the golden era'. In 1944 she won a Best Actress Academy Award for the 1943 movie "Song Of Bernadette". She portrayed Bernadette Soubirous, a young French woman who had visions of the Virgin Mary. Jones was also nominated for an Oscar for four other films.

She won an Oscar for her portrayal of Alicia Nash, opposite Russell Crowe in the 2001 biopic "A Beautiful Mind".

Jennifer Jason Lee was in the movie "Single White Female".
Jennifer Tilly is the voice of Bonnie Swanson on "Family Guy".

Answer: Jennifer Warnes

The incorrect choices are all singers, i.e., Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, Jennifer Rush with "The Power of Love", and Jennifer Maines, a soprano who won the Austrian Music Theater Prize Best Leading Actress in "Parsifal" in 2015. It was Jennifer Warnes who teamed with Bill Medley (of the Righteous Brothers) to create the blockbuster hit from "Dirty Dancing", i.e., "The Time of My Life" in 1987.

She also collaborated with Joe Cocker in 1982 for "Up Where We Belong" from the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman", which won an Oscar, Golden Globe and a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

Answer: Jennifer Coolidge

Although Jennifer Coolidge may be most famous for being Stifler's mom in the "American Pie" films, she has appeared in quite a few comedies, e.g., Paulette, the manicurist in "Legally Blonde" (2001) and its sequel (2003), and the evil stepmother in 2004's "A Cinderella Story".

She also plays Sophie Kachinsky, the upstairs neighbor on the sitcom "Two Broke Girls". Did you know that she made her first TV appearance on a 1993 episode of "Seinfeld" called "The Masseuse"? As for the 'other' Jennifers: Barnhart is a puppeteer; Beals starred in "Flashdance" and Carpenter played Debra Morgan on "Dexter".

Answer: Jennifer Metcalfe

"Hollyoaks" is a British soap opera which began in 1995, about the trials and tribulations of suburban college kids. Jennifer Metcalfe joined the cast in 2006, as Mercedes Maria Theresa Immaculata McQueen (formerly Owen/nee Fisher). She has a tendency to anger easily, to jump to the wrong conclusions and to jump into bed too often.

The series has been continually nominated for BAFTA Awards (1999, 2001, 2002, 2003) and, in 2015, Jeremy Sheffield won the British Soap Opera Award for Villain of the Year. The 'other' Jennifers: Esposito appeared on the TV show "Blue Bloods"; Saunders was in "Absolutely Fabulous", and Flavin is the wife of Stallone.

Answer: In Living Color

Do you remember Jennifer Lopez' debut as a Fly Girl on the wonderful and very original comedy show "In Living Color" from 1990-1994? The show starred Keenen Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans ("Homey don't play dat"), David Alan Grier, and helped launch the careers of Jim Carrey (fire marshall Bill) and Jamie Foxx.

There were many Fly Girls over the years, dancers who were originally choreographed by Rosie Perez, but none more notable than Jennifer Lopez. Her introduction as a dancer on the show was her first big break in show business, and she hasn't slowed down since!

Answer: Jennifer Garner

In 2005, actress Jennifer Garner married Ben Affleck after her split from Scott Foley ("Felicity and Scandal"). Ben and Jen have three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. In case you don't read the tabloids, there was the issue of Ben and the children's nanny which helped lead to the couples' divorce. Garner has starred on TV in "Alias", where she played the international spy Sydney Bristow from 2001 to 2006.

Her films include "13 Going on 30" (2004) and "Dallas Buyers Club" in 2013. Jennie Garth was on "90210". Jennifer Stone was on "The Wizards of Waverly Place". Jennie McCarthy is first cousin of Melissa from "Mike & Molly".

Answer: Katniss Everdeen

Since Jennifer Lawrence won the Academy Award for Best Actress in "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012), I thought I might ask her role in the film, but somehow that seemed unfair; BTW, it was Tiffany. Since Jennifer Lawrence has played Katniss Everdeen in all the "Hunger Games" films from 2012 through 2015, I thought that would be much more memorable, especially since she was the lead rebel in the fight against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and his minions. Lawrence has been in such films as "American Hustle" in 2013 and "Joy" in 2015.

The other choices, Willow and Effie, were also roles in "The Hunger Games". Ever Carradine is actor Robert Carradine's daughter.

Answer: Justin Theroux

How could I not include Jennifer Aniston in a Jennifer quiz? Did you expect a question from "Friends"? Well, I went for something more timely, i.e., the marriage of Jennifer Aniston and her (second) husband, Justin Theroux. After some time and a great deal of speculation, the couple was married on August 5, 2015 at their home in California.

They even tricked their guests into thinking it was a celebration for Justin's 44th birthday. Jen and Justin celebrated their honeymoon with friends in Bora Bora. In case you're not familiar with Justin's credentials: he is an actor who worked with David Lynch in "Mulholland Drive" and "Inland Empire".

Answer: Scandal

Although Jennifer Love Hewitt was born in 1979, she has quite a long resume since she began acting. Her first TV series was on the Disney Channel series, "Kids Incorporated" from 1990 to 1991 under the name Love Hewitt. She was Melinda Gordon on "Ghost Whisperer" from 2005-2010, where she talked to dead people. Prior to that she played Sarah Reeves, opposite Matthew Fox and the Salinger family kids from 1995 to 1999.

She also played an agent for the FBI on "Criminal Minds" (2014-2015). However, she has never been on the Shonda Rhimes TV show "Scandal" which began in 2012, and stars Kerry Washington as crisis manager Olivia Pope.
