Sidekickery Part K Trivia Quiz

Answer: Tinker Bell

J.M. Barrie's original conception of Tinker Bell was that she was a tinker -- someone who repaired pots and pans and kettles and such.

Sometimes portrayed by no more than a flashlight beam splayed about the stage, Tink was played by Julia Roberts in the 1991 movie "Hook."

The programme played until 1966. Hopper was the son of Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper. His last performance was in the movie "Myra Breckinridge" (1970) which opened after his death from a stroke.

Answer: Jim

The thirteen-year-old Huck is partnered with the older Jim, an escaped slave. The sequel to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is narrated by Huck himself.

Answer: Captain Arthur Hastings

Often compared to the relationship between Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes, the friendship between Arthur Hastings and Poirot is between unequals.

Felix Leiter was introduced in "Casino Royale" and appeared in six of the original James Bond novels. His role as a CIA agent was truncated by a shark attack in Fleming's second novel, "Live and Let Die" which cost his hand and a leg. He thereafter worked for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
