Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Robert Mulligan's "The Man in the Moon" is a touching love story of a fourteen year old girl who falls in love with a slightly older guy (Jason London), who in turn is attracted to her older sister. Who plays the young girl?

Answer: Reese Witherspoon

 Director Robert Mulligan delivers a beautiful heartbreaking coming of age tale which features Reese Witherspoon in her debut performance. The actress plays 14 year old Dani Travers, who finds her first love in 17 year old Court Foster (Jason London). Together they forge a special bond that will ultimately test Dani's strength of heart and spirit.
2. In "Final Analysis", Richard Gere plays an expert psychiatrist who is having an affair with Kim Basinger, the sister of his patient (Uma Thurman). Who plays Basinger's sadistic husband?

Answer: Eric Roberts

 Director Phil Joanou weaves a dark melodrama about a psychiatrist who starts an affair with his patient's sister. Eric Roberts is at his best as Jimmy, a violent Greek mobster, whose wife is cheating on him.
3. Ray Liotta is menacing as a cop who becomes obsessed with a married couple in "Unlawful Entry". Kurt Russell plays the husband. Who plays the wife?

Answer: Madeleine Stowe

 Madeleine Stowe plays Karen Carr, a supportive wife who, along with her husband (Kurt Russell), is helped by a cop (Ray Liotta) after a break-in at their house. Little does she know that the cop turns out to be not the helping hand she hopes for. He turns out to be quite obsessive.
4. In Richard Pearce's "The Long Walk Home", Whoopi Goldberg plays Odessa Cotter, an African-American maid, caught in the injustice of being forced to sit at the back of the bus for being black. Who plays the sympathetic white woman she works for?

Answer: Sissy Spacek

 Shown in 1990, "The Long Walk Home" is a touching melodrama about two different women - one black, the other white - who forge a forbidden friendship amidst the racial tension in 1950s Alabama. Sissy Spacek shines as Miriam Thompson, the white woman, who helps her black maid in her fight for equality.
5. In "Betrayed", a female FBI agent goes undercover for the first time and commits the fatal error of falling for a man (Tom Berenger) whose crimes include executing black people. Identify the actress who plays the agent.

Answer: Debra Winger

 "Betrayed", which is skillfully directed by Costa-Gavras, brings out a stellar performance from Debra Winger. In the film, Winger is Catherine Weaver, an FBI agent who is investigating the death of a radio talk show host. She ends up going undercover in the heartland where she meets an enigmatic farmer (Berenger), a man who may be behind the killing.
6. In Peter Yates's "Eleni", a writer from New York (John Malkovich) searches for the people responsible for the death of his mother. Who plays the mother?

Answer: Kate Nelligan

 Based on a novel of the same title, "Eleni" is a moving cinematic experience that is riddled with anti-communist propaganda. Kate Nelligan gives a tour de force performance as Eleni, a woman who is killed during the civil war in Greece.
7. In "Mesmerized", Victoria, a convent-bred woman from New Zealand, is taken as a wife of an older man who turns out to be a monster. John Lithgow is loathsome as the older man. Who plays his wife?

Answer: Jodie Foster

 Released in 1986, "Mesmerized" is directed by Michael Laughlin. The usually effective Jodie Foster is lost in this mediocre tale of a woman who learns to fight back against an abusive husband.
8. Ron Silver plays a Jewish rabbi who is involved with three women in "Enemies, A Love Story". Anjelica Huston is his first wife whom he thinks is dead, while Margaret Sophie Stein is his current wife. Which actress plays Masha, the married woman whom he has an affair with?

Answer: Lena Olin

 Adapted from an Isaac Bashevis Singer novel of the same title, the film highlights strong performances from all of the three actresses. However, when OSCAR season came, only Lena Olin and Anjelica Huston bagged Supporting Actress nominations. Of the three, however, Olin is breathtaking as Masha, a fiesty concentration camp survivor who is having an affair with a rabbi. Passionate but bitter, she defies the conventions of her time by making "sex" appealing.
9. In "Tune in Tomorrow", a young man who works at a local radio station falls madly in love with "Aunt" Julia (Barbara Hershey). Guess which actor plays the young man.

Answer: Keanu Reeves

 This screwball comedy is ingeniously directed by Jon Amiel. Reeves plays Martin Loader, a man who falls for a slightly older woman (Hershey). To his surprise, their love story is made into a radio drama series by a clever scriptwriter (Peter Falk).
10. In "Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael", a young woman eagerly anticipates the homecoming of a superstar whom she believes is her mother. Who is cast as the young woman?

Answer: Winona Ryder

 Winona Ryder shines as Dinkie, a sexually confused outsider who strongly believes that her mother is coming back to her small hometown. The expected return of Roxy Carmichael sets off a chain of events that will eventually change Dinkie.
