Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Laura Petrie slips up on TV and reveals a secret about Alan Brady. What is it?

This was one of the most popular episodes. Reiner (as Alan Brady) was never funnier.

2. Laura has her portrait painted; it pops up years later in an art gallery. Who played the painter?

Answer: Carl Reiner

The portrait is of Laura in the nude. Again, Reiner was quite funny.

3. Laura pumps Sally about Sally's new boyfriend; she finds out a secret. What is it?
