Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." Star of such films as "Dumb and Dumber" (1994) and "Me, Myself and Irene" (2000), who is this Canadian American actor and comedian?

Answer: Jim Carrey

His comic role in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" (1994) brought him fame with "Dumb and Dumber", in the same year bringing him a wife for a year, co-star Lauren Holly. "Me, Myself and Irene" (2000) saw him engaged to co-star Renée Zellweger before they went their separate ways. It is not known whether there was any eye rolling involved.
2. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present." Which often-controversial American comedienne has been linked to this quote?

Answer: Joan Rivers

Joan Alexandra Molinsky (1933 - 2014), better known as Joan Rivers, was an American actress, comedienne and talk show hostess known for her sharp and abrasive wit.

Others linked to the quote include Eleanor Roosevelt and the American author Alice Morse Earle (1851 - 1911), who came up with this version: "The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."
3. "In my view the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience." Which Irish musician has been quoted as saying this about himself?

Answer: Bono

Paul Hewson, otherwise known as Bono, is front-man for the band U2 (the photo clue). Levering off his musical success, he has been heavily involved in philanthropic and humanitarian work in recent decades.

The quote comes from a speech he made in 2001, talking to a graduating class of students. The speech starts: "My name is Bono, and I am a rock star. Now, I tell you this not as a boast but more as a kind of confession. Because in my view the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience - a celebrity with a cause - a placard-waving, knee-jerking, fellow-travelling activist with a Lexus and a swimming pool shaped like his head."
4. "Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man." Which actor, who appeared in the film 'True Grit' (2010), provided this quote?

Answer: Jeff Bridges

American actor Jeff Bridges married Susan Geston in 1977 and has had an unusually long-lived marriage by Hollywood standards. He reprised the role of U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn in the film 'True Grit' (2010), a role played by John Wayne in the 1969 version of the film. Matt Damon played the role of Texas Ranger LaBoeuf in the 2010 film, a role played by Glen Campbell in the 1969 film.

The photo of the stepping stones sign is a reference to a type of bridge and hence Jeff Bridges.
5. "Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water." So said this American comedian who was missing his alcohol. Who was he?

Answer: WC Fields

W.C. Fields (1880 - 1946) started off in vaudeville as a silent juggler, preferring not to talk in order to conceal his stutter. However he found that he obtained more laughs with his occasional comic asides and so began his comedy career. He got into acting and had credits in over 40 films, as well as work on radio.

He cultivated the drinking persona as part of his act and it was only later in his career that he started the heavy drinking which affected his health.
6. "If I didn't do this well, I just wouldn't have anything to do...I can't cook, and I'd be a terrible housewife." Which British singer and songwriter was describing his job prospects in the absence of a music-making talent?

Answer: Freddie Mercury

The photo is a reference to Queen, the rock group for which Freddie Mercury was the front man. Farrokh Bulsara (1946 - 1991), better known as Freddie Mercury, came up with the name of the band and wrote many of its hit songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody". He died of AIDS-related complications in 1991.
7. "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." Which American comedian, an Oscar winner at the age of 80, came up with that line?

Answer: George Burns

George Burns (1896 - 1996) was an American comedian, actor and writer, forming a partnership with his wife-to-be, Gracie Allen, that started off in vaudeville days and ended on TV. He also acted in films such as 'The Sunshine Boys' (1975) for which he gained his Oscar. He continued to work well into his nineties.
8. "I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done." Which actress perhaps summed up her philosophy on life with this quote?

Answer: Lucille Ball

American comedienne Lucille Ball, once known as Queen of the Bs because of all the B-movies she had parts in, got her big break through the 'I Love Lucy' TV show, which she created with her then husband Desi Arnaz. Her production company, Desilu, which she headed, was responsible for shows such as the original 'Star Trek' series and 'Mission: Impossible'.

She died in 1989 at the age of 77.
9. "You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans." Which actor-turned-politican with a taste for jelly beans came up with this memorable quote?

Answer: Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan loved his jelly beans, which he started eating to help with quitting pipe smoking. After his acting career dried up, he turned to politics, becoming Governor of California twice. He was President of the US from 1981 to 1989. He also came up with quotes such as "I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon." and "People do not make wars; governments do."

The photo shows a collection of Rs, although you could see Bs as well.
10. "You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous world." Who was the Black Sabbath lead vocalist who came up with this pearl of wisdom?

Answer: Ozzy Osbourne

Fired in 1979 from the Black Sabbath line-up due to drug abuse, English singer Ozzy Osbourne has pursued his own career through music and his version of reality TV since then. He has, however, reunited with the band on several occasions since 1997. He was reported as biting the head off a bat during a concert in 1982. Did he have that in mind when he came up with the quote?

The photo shows the Australian (or Aussie) coat of arms, a reference to his first name or even his second name.
