Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hiya! I was born and raised in Kansas. As a young adult, I was an interior decorator who made the occasional trip to Los Angeles to appear on game shows. I got my big break by wearing pointed ears and later went to a place where everybody knew my name! Do you know my name?
2. Hello. I won in my first bodybuilding contest while I was in the Army. Unfortunately, I had to go AWOL to participate and they caught me. I later was put into the "Guinness Book of World Records" as having the most perfect male physique. I have been in several movies, and if you miss me, I'll be back. Who am I?
3. Hello! Many people say I was born in Nebraska, but that's not true. I was actually born in Iowa, but I was raised in Norfolk, Nebraska. I broke into television back in the late-40s and I eventually became a household name by starting each night talking about my latest divorce and swinging an imaginary golf club until I retired in 1992. Who am I?
4. Hey there! I came from the Midwest, but I started out as a weatherman in Indiana before I became famous! In fact, my show has been on two different networks since 1982! Can you guess who I am?
5. Hello! I'm an actor from Canada whose favorite subject is apparently myself. I have played many roles in my lifetime, including a cop, a beauty pageant host (both in a movie and in life), and a space hero. Remember that segment of "The Twilight Zone" movie with John Lithgow? That was based on an episode I did in the original "Twilight Zone" series back in 1963. Guess who I am, or I'll make you hear me sing!
6. Hi! I became a household name when I played a spunky surfer girl on TV back in the 1960s. In the 70s, Burt Reynolds tried to propose marriage to me, but I said "no." By 1985, I had won two Academy Awards in five years! If you don't know me now, you'll really like me later!
7. How ya doing! I started out as an unconventional comedian. I stuck my foot in the door on FOX's "In Living Color" in the 1980s, then went on to be a very, VERY famous movie star! In fact, I made a living out of my rubber face. You think you KNOW ME? Well, just fill in the blank and we'll see!
8. Hello! Many people say I have one of the most distinguishing voices in show business. My voice has been used in a classic Disney animated motion picture, a cable television network, and in advertising. But many people remember my voice from three immortal science-fiction movies. I have also appeared in many films, winning a Golden Globe for my portrayal based on a real-life boxer from the 1920's. Can you name me?
9. Hello, there. I'm a funny guy, even when I try not to be! I starred in a "Happy Days" spinoff in the late 1970's, then tried my hand at movies for a while. Okay, I still make movies! Oscar has been kind enough to nominate me three times for Best Actor. But I guess I'll never get that nomination again, considering the last time I was nominated in that category, I pranced around naked in Central Park. But I did win a Supporting Actor Oscar a few years later. I use it as a paperweight for all the scripts I get now! Who am I?
10. Hello. I was born in Burbank, California. As a student, I went to high school with Ron Howard. In the 1970's, I started modeling for the Ford Agency, ultimately becoming one of the first "supermodels." Then, in the 1980's, I went on to do movies; I have worked with Charlie Sheen (twice), Kevin Costner, Emilio Estevez, Robert DeNiro (twice) and Mel Gibson (three times). Can you name me?
11. Holy Toledo, you found me! You probably don't know this, but of all the people who starred in the TV show "M*A*S*H", I was one of only two who actually served military duty in Korea! Did you figure out my name yet? If you do, I know where you can find a nice dress for tonight...
12. Hi! I'm a really tall Oscar-winning actress. I married a director in 1993 and, after I made two of his movies, we divorced in 1998. I have also participated in Olympic competition. Can you name me?
13. Hey there! I was born in Philly, and at the age of 21, I won the first Grammy for Rap Performance. I went on to do television and movies, and I got an Oscar nomination in 2001. Who am I?
14. Hey there... I've been in movies for many years now, but I have also directed a couple. In fact, when I received my Best Director Oscar, I said that what I really wanted to do was act! Okay, I have acted before: as a suicidal cop, a post-apocolyptic cop, and as a CIA pilot (I guess that would be a REALLY undercover cop)! Oh, and I'm not from Australia; I just grew up there! Who am I?
15. Hi! I am one of a few actors to win back-to-back acting Oscars! Kinda hard to believe that at the start of my career, I dressed in drag for a sitcom, huh? Do you know me?
