Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. David Bowie

Answer: Duncan

David Bowie (1947-2016) was a leading figure in the English glam-rock genre. He embraced several alter-egos during a career of hits. His chart toppers included "Space Oddity" (1969); "AshesTo Ashes" (1980); and "Let's Dance" (1983). He also had UK Number Ones in association with Mick Jagger ("Dancing In The Street" in 1985) and Queen ("Under Pressure" in 1981).
Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones grew up with his father after his parents divorced. Initially known as "Zowie", he reverted to his birth name of Duncan Jones and became a successful film producer, director and screenwriter.
2. Henry Fonda

Answer: Peter

Henry Fonda was an Oscar-winning actor and director. Some of his best known roles included "Once Upon A Time In The West" (1968); "12 Angry Men" (1957); and "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940). He appeared in more than 100 movies in a career that spanned the years between 1935 and 1981.
Peter Fonda also had more than 100 acting roles on TV and the silver screen. He was best known for "Easy Rider" (1969) and the 2007 remake of "3.10 To Yuma".
3. Bob Dylan

Answer: Jakob

Drifting in from the Mid West to New York City, Bob Dylan was in the early part of his career a disciple of the great Woody Guthrie. Many of his early self-penned songs were Guthrie-like in subject matter and tone. But Dylan began to move on through the urban folk revival in Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Through songs too numerous to mention, he rose to the pinnacle of folk music, before apparently turning his back on the early protest and workers' songs.

He was branded a "Judas" for going electric in the mid 1960s.

Although folk music was his early forte, he moved easily into rock. Regarded after 50 years in the business as being one of music's greats, nevertheless much of his personality remained opaque; indeed it was not uncommon for critics to note that it was never possible to predict which kind of Dylan - open and approachable or guarded and reticent - would turn up in concert. It was probably inevitable that Jakob Dylan would follow his father into music.

However, while Bob's early influences had been in folk music, Jakob's was in English rock,particularly punk rock. Between 1985 and 2005 he was lead singer, guitarist and songwriter with "The Wallflowers".

He followed a solo career from 2006.
4. John Carradine

Answer: Keith

IMdb notes that John Carrdine had 350 credits as an actor. You may remember him best from "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940); "Stagecoach" (1939; and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" (1962).
Keith Carradine won an Oscar for the best original song in "Nashville" (1976). He had several leading roles in major TV shows, including "Madam Secretary" (2014-2016); "Damages" (2010) and "Fargo" (2014 and 2015). On the big screen, he is remembered for "The Duelists" (1977).
Let us not forget the two other thespian sons of John Carradine, Robert and David.
5. Woody Guthrie

Answer: Arlo

Woody Guthrie earned a place in the history books as one of the most influential singers and songwriters of the first half of the 20th century. He was to inspire whole generations of fellow folk music adherents His catalogue of songs majored significantly on championing the causes of workers in the United States. He wrote and sang union songs and protest songs - though was not too reticent to turn his back on big business when commissioned to write songs for them.
Many people would have been cowed by the sheer genius of a father like Woody Guthrie, but Arlo Guthrie was not one of them. Indeed, he worked hard to keep his spirit alive. (Arlo oft-times chided his own musical children for not knowing the words of the songs he had written, noting: "I know all my dad's.")
Arlo grew up surrounded by music greats at the family home. He cemented his own musical career with his draft-dodging tale "Alice's Restaurant Massacree". He went on to play himself in the subsequent movie in 1969.
6. Will Smith

Answer: Jaden

After several early TV roles from 1990, Will Smith found fame in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990 to 1996). "Independence Day" (1996); "Men In Black" 1997); and "Enemy of the State (1998) established him as a box office superstar.
Jaden Smith also began his acting career with TV roles, especially "All of Us" (2003-2006). In 2016 he began filming another TV series, "The Get Down".
7. James Caan

Answer: Scott

James Caan is best remembered for his role in "The Godfather" (1972); (and sequels) and "A Bridge Too Far" (1977). He played numerous roles on television, where he made his acting debut in a "Naked City" episode in 1961.
Scott Caan began his acting career with "A Boy Called Hate" in 1995. Many TV and movie roles followed, including the remake of "Hawaii Five-0 " between 2010 and 2016.
8. Sir Jack Brabham

Answer: David

Jack Brabham was born in New South Wales, Australia, in 1926. He became a Formula One racing driver and won the world championship in 1959, 1960 and 1966.
His son David was born in 1965 and had motor racing in his blood. He concentrated on sports car racing, though also tried his hand in Formula One.
9. Jim Hutton

Answer: Timothy

Jim Hutton was one of the stars of "The Green Berets", a 1968 movie about a mission to kidnap a North Vietnamese general. Previously he had starred in the 1960 high school escapade "Where The Boys Are."
His son, Timothy, made his name in TV movies before hitting the big screen with "Ordinary People", the 1980 story of a family coming to terms with the death of an elder son.
10. Kirk Douglas

Answer: Michael

Kirk Douglas had a busy movie and television career that began with "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" in 1946. "Mourning Becomes Electra" (1947)' "Along the Great Divide" (1951) and "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" (1957) were among notable appearances.

However, "Spartacus" (1960) probably sealed his fame. He was nominated for three Oscars during these years, without winning any. Michael Douglas began an acting career with an unnamed role in "Cast A Giant Shadow" in 1966. He cut his teeth, professionally speaking, with numerous television roles - particularly "The Streets of San Francisco" between 1972 and 1976.

He shared an Oscar with Saul Zenta for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1976. He hit his stride in the late 1980s with roles in "Fatal Attraction" (1987); "Wall Street" (also 1987); "Black Rain" and "The War of the Roses" (both 1989).

He reprised his Wall Street role of Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" in 2010. (The first Gekko movie earned him his second Oscar.")
