The Last Supper Online Trivia | Celebrities Mixture

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If he had chosen his favorite, this celebrity would have chosen a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. However, four scoops of ice cream and 6 cookies would be a pretty tasty last meal at his Memphis home. Which noble musician might this be?

Answer: Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley, often known as "The King", was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. Elvis must have been a quick learner as he is reported to have been given a "C" in eighth-grade music. He was well known to enjoy food to excess and it appears his last meal was no exception.

In 1977, the coroner listed his cause of death as cardiac arrest and it has been speculated the death was triggered by a prescription drug overdose.

2. While on holiday in Rome, this celebrity wasn't singing soprano after his last meal of foie gras and fried prawns washed down with at least 8 alcohol drinks! Which celebrity from Westwood, New Jersey died of cardiac arrest after this lavish meal?

Answer: James Gandolfini

James Gandolfini was well known for his role as Tony Soprano, the fictional mob boss. In the summer of 2013, he was vacationing in Rome, Italy where he enjoyed a hot day of sightseeing and then a huge meal with several drinks. He was later found in his hotel bathroom where the listed cause of death was cardiac arrest. He was only 51 at the time of his death.

3. It may not be well known that this pop musician was health conscious when it came to food, even to a fault. His last meal of spinach salad with grilled chicken was no thriller. Which celebrity afterward went to neverland after a sleeping medication overdose?

Answer: Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson had an unhappy life. Maybe it was the harsh way his father raised him or the constant spotlight from the time he was a child, but Michael struggled with body image throughout his life. Towards the end of his last month, his diet was restrictive and he also struggled with insomnia. He finally died of a propofol overdose which he was using as a sleep aid.

4. Given the name "The French Chef", our next celebrity brought fine cooking to the US television audiences starting in the 1960s. So it is rather appropriate that her last meal was French Onion Soup. Who was this Chef?

Answer: Julia Child

Julia Child grew up in California and earned a history degree at Smith College. She started her career as a copywriter. Child didn't actually fall in love with cooking until after WWII when she first tasted fine French food in Paris with her new husband.

After attending the Cordon Bleu culinary school, she was in a prime position to teach cooking techniques to housewives. She also wrote a cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" for American families which helped her become well known. Her television series "The French Chef" soon followed. Julia Child lived to be 91 years old.

5. Start spreading the sad news! This next celebrity was larger than life in both music and film. His last meal was a grilled cheese sandwich, rather than one of his Italian favorites. Who was this blue-eyed heartthrob?

Answer: Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey to an Italian immigrant family in 1915. His singing career got underway when he was a teenager but started to sputter in his mid-thirties.

Sinatra was well known for his velvety voice and his blue eyes.

He reached the age of 82 and died of a heart attack.

Princess Diana Spencer was born into a British noble family as the daughter of the Earl of Spencer. She was the first wife of British heir to the throne, Prince Charles and was the mother of William and Henry. At the age of 36, Diana died in Paris in a car crash fleeing the paparazzi.

Her death and funeral captivated the world and can be iconically remembered with Elton John's rededication of his song "Candle in the Wind" which originally was written for Marilyn Monroe.

7. Our next celebrity was an original cast member of the comedy show "Saturday Night Live". His most famous skits were his parody of Beethoven and the Samurai Delicatessen. Unfortunately, drug use became a real problem for him. His last meal was at the Rainbow Bar and Grill where he had their signature Lentil Soup. He later died of a cocaine and heroin overdose. Who was he?

Answer: John Belushi

John Belushi is probably best known for his "Animal House" role of Bluto and his "Blues Brothers" role of Jake. Belushi grew up in Chicago where he got his start at The Second City comedy club with lifetime friend Dan Aykroyd.

He died at the age of 36 due to a speedball overdose provided by his friend Cathy Smith.

8. This musical genius broke on the scene in the late 60s as a great guitarist. While his favorite foods were reported to be spaghetti and strawberry shortcake, his last meal was actually a tuna sandwich. Who might this Voodoo Chile be?

Answer: Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix grew up poor and was 15 years old before he was given his first guitar. He quickly developed into a master and developed an innovative sound that transformed rock music. Hendrix embraced feedback, which was usually avoided by musicians up until his time. Jimi also knew the power of the recording studio where he worked to push the boundaries of sound. Sadly he died of an accidental sleeping pill overdose at the young age of 27. Jimi only had 4 years to make his mark on music.

9. This rebel without a cause was the hero of disillusioned teenagers of the 1950s. He was the epitome of cool. His last meal was said to be a slice of apple pie at a roadside diner before he totaled his car in a fatal crash. Who might this giant of entertainment be?

Answer: James Dean

James Dean was born in Marrion, Indiana in 1931. As a child, he was very close to his mother who unfortunately died of cancer when James was 9 years old. He later moved to Santa Monica, California where he was an excellent student both academically and athletically. James Dean's favorite food was pizza.

He had a particular passion for theater and auto racing. Dean died at the age of 24 when he crashed his Porsche Spyder.

10. This musician's first band, The Quarrymen, was named after his high school. His last meal was a corned beef sandwich that was supposed to tide him over until he got home later but unfortunately he was gunned down before he made it home. Imagine what the world would be like if this peace lover's life had not been cut short. Who was he?

Answer: John Lennon

John Lennon started out with his band The Quarrymen which played mostly in the Skiffle genre, which was a fusion of jazz, blues, and American folk. Of course, John was best known for his work with the Beatles, but he also had an extensive solo career after the Beatles broke up.

While Lennon was known to be rebellious, his legacy focused on kindness and peace. Richard Nixon at one point is rumored to have tried to deport John Lennon after he had so much success with the antiwar song "Give Peace a Chance".

In 1980, while returning to his apartment, John Lennon was shot in the back by Mark David Chapman. Lennon's comment about being "more popular than Jesus" was one of Chapman's main motives for killing John Lennon.
