Answer: Karen Black

It was reported that at the premiere of "Paris, Texas", Hunter fell asleep sitting next to his mom, Karen Black.
3. What form of communication did Travis and Hunter use to try to find Jane at the bank in Houston?

Answer: Walkie-talkies

Hunter and Travis had to spread out to cover all of the drive-in lanes at the bank. When Hunter spotted his Mom, he yelled into the walkie-talkie, "Wake up! She's leaving! She's leaving the bank!"
4. What is the first thing that we notice about Travis at the beginning of the film?

Answer: That he refuses to speak to anyone.

After four years in the desert, Travis has learned to keep to himself, never opening up to anyone. He looks like "forty miles of rough road", according to Walt. He only speaks after Walt gets extremely upset with him.
5. Who informs Travis as to the whereabouts of his long-lost wife, Jane.

Answer: Anne

Anne tells Travis that Jane set up a secret account through a Houston bank. Jane deposits money the first week of each month for Hunter's future. Anne gives Travis the name and address of the bank in Houston.
6. Who played Jane Henderson?

Answer: Nastassja Kinski

Nastassja Kinski was born in Berlin on January 24th, 1959. Her father is the late, renowned actor Klaus Kinski. She starred in the Roman Polanski film, "Tess", and co-starred with Dudley Moore in "Unfaithfully Yours". She was Susie the Bear in "The Hotel New Hampshire".
7. What does Travis do to slowly win Hunter's trust?

Answer: He walks Hunter home from school.

First attempts at walking Hunter home from school are met with disdain. "Nobody walks, everybody drives!" is Hunter's initial reaction to Travis' suggestion. Not only that, but Hunter is still distrusting of the man who abandoned him four years earlier. Over time, a friendship builds.
8. Besides the walks home, what event causes Hunter to make the attempt to get to know his real father?

Answer: They watch a Super 8 movie from when Jane and Travis were together.

The home movie brings the past to life, causing heartbreak for Travis. Hunter sees Travis' distress and tries to send a message by lightly bumping into him. The physical contact brings the relationship to the next level.
9. How does Jane come to realize that Travis is on the other side of the one-way mirror?

Answer: His life story contains too many familiar details.

The one-way mirror symbolizes their relationship. Travis can see Jane, but Jane can't see Travis. After Jane realizes that the mystery man is Travis, she tells her side of the story. Travis gives Jane the hotel and room number where she can reunite with her son.
10. What is the name and room number of the hotel where Jane is to reunite with Hunter?

Answer: Meridian Hotel, Room 1520

The reunion between mother and son is a very emotional one. Anyone watching this scene will need to bring a box of Kleenex. Travis can't bring himself to be a part of it, but his mission has been accomplished.
11. Travis loved to fly.

Answer: False

The truth is that Travis made an airliner stop on the runway to let him off. He also made Walt find the exact same rental car "with the bump on the hood" or else he wouldn't drive to L.A. either.
12. What task did Travis perform that caused Walt to say,"You know, I could get you a job at the airport doing that"?

Answer: He shined every pair of shoes that he could find.

Travis was very industrious. He kept busy to the point of causing the family to wonder if he ever slept.
13. Complete this quote: "She stopped being a ________ to him a long time before that."

Answer: mother

Travis told this to Anne in the same conversation that revealed the secret bank account and Jane's whereabouts.
14. Who said: "It looks like a girl's car to me. Do you think it's hers"?

Answer: Hunter

After Jane leaves the drive-in bank, Travis and Hunter follow her to a seedy alley where she disappears through the back entrance of a nightclub. The debate about whether it's her car or not stems from the fact that there were two identical red cars on the freeway. They weren't 100% sure that they had followed the right car.
15. Travis and Jane eventually meet face-to-face.

Answer: False

They never do. The closest they come is in the booth with a one-way mirror between them.
16. When Hunter sees an old picture of Travis in a school band uniform, what does he think that Travis was?

Answer: A General

Hunter: "You were a General?"
Travis: "No. I was in the band. The school band."
17. Who wrote the screenplay?

Answer: Sam Shepard

Sam Shepard in one of America's most gifted playwrights. He is also a very talented actor who has played Major General Garrison in "Black Hawk Down", Colonel Chuck Yeager in "The Right Stuff", and Senator Reisman in "Swordfish". My favorite Sam Shepard role is as Gil Ivy in "Country", a 1984 film that dramatized the plight of the farmer.
18. Complete this quote: "You can either be a rich ______ or a poor one.

Answer: Father

Travis was looking through a magazine, trying desparately to find a picture of a father so that he could impress Hunter. He wanted to look like a middle-income father. Walt's housekeeper corrected him, stating that there is no such thing. He had to either be a rich father or a poor one.
19. What was Walt's profession?

Answer: He designed billboards.

Dean Stockwell's career started at the tender age of 9 years old. The list of film and TV credits is astronomically long, going back to 1945. Recent appearances include shows such as "JAG", "Enterprise", and "First Monday".
20. Complete this quote: "I'm not afraid of _______, I'm afraid of falling."

Answer: heights

Travis and Walt were up on a highway billboard. Travis is telling Walt that he can find Jane, but needs some financial help to do it. Walt explains that he tried to find her, but couldn't. Travis insists that he can find her.
