Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which actress plays Robin, Sam's mother and George's ex wife?

Answer: Kristin Scott Thomas

Although I could see any of these actresses in the role, I don't think any could have been as convincing as Kristin. She was great, and she did a great American accent, too.

2. What movie did the actress who played the wife get an Oscar nomination for?

Answer: The English Patient

This movie also won the Oscar for this year.

3. What blockbuster movie did the actor who plays Sam star in during 2002?

Answer: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

I'm not a "Star Wars" fan, but this guy was so adorable in "Life As A House", that it almost made me want to see "Attack of the Clones".

4. Jenna Malone plays a character in this movie, "Life as a House", whose boyfriend's father is dying of cancer. In what film did she play a girl whose mother is dying of cancer?

Answer: Stepmom

Another great tearjerker film starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. I just watched it again last night and cried my eyes out!

5. Kevin Kline was nominated for an Oscar for his role in this film.

Answer: False

Kevin's only Oscar nomination and win was in 1989 for "A Fish Called Wanda". And although he wasn't nominated for this movie, he should have been, in my opinion.

6. The man who plays nasty neighbor David Dokos is the son of which famous actor and actress?

Answer: Jason Robards and Lauren Bacall

Carrie Fisher is the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall had two kids, but neither are famous, to my knowledge, and Katherine Hepburn and Jason Robards were never married and never had children together.

7. When Sam went to visit George in the hospital right before he died, he rolled George's bed up to the window to show him something. What did he show him?

Answer: The Christmas lights on the house.

This was a very touching scene between father and son.

8. What model and color car did David Dokos, the nasty neighbor, drive?

Answer: Black Lexus

The car is always parked in his driveway, and at one point, George's dog pees on the front bumper. The car also plays a significant part in how Dokos gets what's coming to him in the end.

9. What is the name and profession of the guy that was dating Alyssa and eventually slept with her mother?

Answer: Josh/Pimp

Josh at one point sends Sam to mess around with a guy in order to get drug money. How sad the things people will do for drugs!

10. What excuse does George give to Sam and Robin for his pain and the amount of pain pills he takes?

Answer: Back problems

According the the director in the dvd commentary, pancreatic cancer can cause severe back pain and sometimes goes misdiagnosed because of this.
