Answer: The Mole

Survivor is a reality show with twists, but it aired on CBS. "The Mole" was a reality show from ABC that featured plot twists. It was followed by "The Mole 2 the Next Betrayal." Both shows were advertised as the ultimate spy game. I just included this show in my 'Twists' quiz because I enjoyed it.

Hank Ballard had several hits including 'Work with Me Annie," "Sexy Ways" and "Teardrops on your Letter." He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Answer: Preston Sturges

Victor Fleming directed the film for MGM. However, he left to direct "Gone With the Wind" and King Vidor took over and directed a few scenes. George Cukor served early on as an interim director and made several changes to Dorothy's costume. Preston Sturges was not employed by MGM. Sturges was Paramount's boy wonder of the early forties who directed such classics as "The Lady Eve" and "Sullivan's Travels."
