Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Truman's sailboat?

Answer: Santa Maria

Named after one of Christopher Columbus's ships it has obvious symbolic meaning since Truman is on his way to a new world outside his televised prison.

2. Who was originally cast as Christof, but walked off the set after his first day?

Answer: Dennis Hopper

Ed Harris replaced him and went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

3. 'The _________ gathers no moss!'

Answer: Early Bird

You probably put rolling stone, but Truman actually says, 'The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm!'

4. Where does Truman dream of going?

Answer: Fiji

'You know, there are still islands in Fiji where no human being has ever set foot?'

5. Who does Truman almost hit when he made a turn onto Lancaster Square?

Answer: Paula

6. After Truman was brought home by the cops, what kind of drink does Meryl offer Truman to cheer him up?

Answer: mococoa

'Why don't I make you some of this new Mococoa Drink? All natural. Cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners' Wow, that sounds pretty good, I'll have a cup.

7. What real city was used to represent Seahaven?

Answer: Seaside, Florida

From the official "Truman Show" website, 'Seaside is a 90-acre planned community founded by developer Robert Davis and his wife, Daryl, in 1980. Comprised of over 300 cottages used by year-round residents and vacation guests, Seaside features its own local post office, art galleries, antique shops, boutiques, bookstores and restaurants, all within walking distance of each home.' Wonder if Barbie, and Ken live there.

8. What four modes of transportation (other than the boat) does Truman try to escape from Seahaven, but ultimately fails?

Answer: bus, airplane, car

All these modes of transportation remind me of the John Candy movie 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'.

9. What is the reason for Truman's fear of water?

Answer: Father drowned

Don't worry folks, his father didn't actually drown. He was saved by guys in scuba gear who just happened to be in the water at the same time. What a coincidence!

10. What does Meryl grab to protect herself from Truman?

Answer: a peeler

Not just any ordinary peeler either, but a Chef's Mate! Act now, and get a free spice rack!
