Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. One of Hudson's best known movies is "Giant". Who wrote the novel?

Answer: Edna Ferber

Liz Taylor played his wife. The movie is meant to be a "sprawling epic", but it doesn't quite make it.

3. Who did NOT co-star with Hudson in "Written on the Wind?

Good soap. Hudson is the strong silent type while Stack is a friend with problems. Malone and Bacall are the women in their lives: one is a woman of character - and one is not.
