Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who played Sally Bowles and Junie Moon?

Answer: Liza Minnelli

Liza with a "z" played Sally in the classic movie "Cabaret," which is a little odd because Sally is supposedly English, and Junie in the pretty awful "Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon." Daughter of Judy Garland and director Vicente Minnelli, Liza made her screen debut as a tot in the 1949 musical "In the Good Old Summertime."
2. Who played Johnny "Johnnycake" Cade, Daniel-san, and Vinny's cousin?

Answer: Ralph Macchio

Three of Ralph's major credits are Johnny in "The Outsiders," Daniel in the three "Karate Kid" movies, and Billy Gambini, whose cousin was a lawyer from Brooklyn.
3. Who played Ed Furillo in "City Slickers," Nicky Santora in "Donnie Brasco," Jess in "When Harry Met Sally," and spoke only or mostly Italian as young Peter Clemenza in "The Godfather Part 2"?

Answer: Bruno Kirby

In case you're wondering whether Bruno is really Italian, his original name was Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu.
4. Who appeared in movies starring Jack Nicholson in 1975, '78, '83, and '92?

Answer: Danny DeVito

The movies were "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Goin' South," "Terms of Endearment," and "Hoffa."
5. Who is Francis Ford Coppola's nephew?

Answer: Nicolas Cage

Cage's father is August Coppola, brother of director Francis Ford. Cage changed his name early in his career to make his own way without trading on his uncle's fame.
6. Who won a supporting acting Oscar for a movie whose tag line is "A comedy of trial and error"?

Answer: Marisa Tomei

Tomei played the perfectly made-up Mona Lisa Vito in the classic "My Cousin Vinny." ("Whut is a yoot?")
7. Which of the following is NOT the first name of an acting member of the Turturro family?

Answer: James

John has been in a ton of movies, but he's probably best known for "Quiz Show" (1994), in which he played Herbie Stempel, who still owes me $20. Nicholas has also made a lot of movies, but his most memorable role was Det. James Martinez on "NYPD Blue." Aida played a waitress in "Mickey Blue Eyes," among many other movie parts, but she's best known as Tony's sister Janice Soprano.
8. In "Goodfellas," Tommy (Joe Pesci) shoots a waiter named Spider in the foot and later shoots him to death. Who played Spider?

Answer: Michael Imperioli

Imperioli was unknown at that time, but he's well known now as Tony's nephew Chris on "The Sopranos." Vincent Gambini was the name of Joe Pesci's character in "My Cousin Vinny."
9. He never gets the big parts, but he's been in a lot of movies, like "Rocky," because he looks like the perfect criminal type. Who is he?

Answer: Joe Spinnell

For a while, Rocky Balboa was an enforcer for a loan shark named Gazzo. Gazzo was played by Joe Spinnell, original name Spagnuolo.
10. Who played Al Pacino's sister, Sylvester Stallone's girlfriend, and Marlon Brando's daughter.

Answer: Talia Shire

Talia's original name was Talia Coppola, which makes her Francis Ford's sister and Nicolas Cage's aunt. She is sometimes also credited as Talia Shire Schwartzman. (I kid you not.) She was Pacino's sister and Brando's daughter in the "Godfather" movies. She was Sly's girlfriend in "Rocky." She will forever be linked with those immortal lines "Yo, Rocky!" and "Yo, Adrian!"
