Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When the doctor tells Suzanne that they are going to have to pump her stomach, what is her response?

Answer: "Do I have to be there?"

After a night of drinking and taking drugs with Jack Faulkner, Jack discovers Suzanne is unresponsive, so he rushes her to the hospital where he drops her off and leaves. Suzanne is brought into the emergency room to have her stomach pumped. The doctor is played by Richard Dreyfuss.

2. At Suzanne's welcome home party that her mother had organized, what song does her mother sing to the gathered crowd?

Answer: I'm Still Here

In D flat. Doris is dressed in a red sequined gown as she belts out this tune. Doris, ever the actress, is just eating up the attention, and even ends the song with hopping up on top of the piano and throwing up her skirt.

3. What question does Suzanne ask Julie (played by C.C.H. Pounder) when they take a break from group?

Answer: "Do you always talk in bumper stickers?"

Suzanne is making fun of Julie because Julie is trying to give her a pep talk and she winds up using a few too many "bumper sticker" quotes. The conversation ends when Suzanne sees her mother approaching her in a white fur jacket.

4. When Doris was fifteen, Mr. Mayer called her in for a meeting. According to Doris, where did Mr. Mayer conduct the entire meeting?

Answer: On the toilet.

Doris shares this bit of information while she and Suzanne are in Suzanne's agents office. Doris, always having to be the center of attention, diverts the conversation from Suzanne's career to her own.

5. Who plays Marty, Suzanne's agent?

Answer: Gary Morton

He only appears in one scene in the entire film, but he is hilarious as the shyster agent that eventually disappears and steals all of his clients money. Gary Morton was married to Lucille Ball from November 19, 1961 until her death on April 26, 1989. He died of lung cancer on March 30, 1999.

Answer: a lubricant

Since Suzanne overdosed, she has become less popular and she has been informed that it will be very difficult to insure her. When she arrives to the set of her new film "L.A. Heat" she is shown to a VERY small dressing room. One of the producers, Joe Pierce, comes in to tell Suzanne that they would need her to take a drug test. Since the already small dressing room is now holding about four people, Joe Pierce, played brilliantly by Rob Reiner delivers this line.

7. At Suzanne's welcome home party, who does her grandfather want to go home with?

Answer: Aretha

Suzanne needs a break from all the hoopla of her welcome home party, so she steps outside to get some air with her rehab roommate, Aretha. While outside, Suzanne's grandparents approach her. Her grandparents, especially her grandfather, are a bit eclectic. Her grandfather yells that he wants to go home, and he wants Aretha to take him home. Actress Robin Bartlett plays Aretha.

Answer: Valerie Rodgers

Suzanne is not having a good day to begin with on the set of her new film, "L.A. Beat". All day long people are coming up to her telling her that she is "holding back" in her performance. Suzanne takes a break from filming and grabs a bag of corn chips and a soda and walks past the wardrobe trailer. Suzanne overhears this as she is consuming a bag of corn chips and hiding in a rack of clothing.

9. What kind of car does Suzanne drive?

Answer: Mustang

We see Suzanne driving a late model blue Mustang several times during the film.

10. Finish the line that Jack apparently uses on all the women. "Has anybody ever told you that you smell like __________."

Answer: Catalina

Jack uses the line on Suzanne. Later on Suzanne finds out from Evelyn Ames that Jack uses it on all the women.
