Dot to Dot Trivia Quiz

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

Dorothy Parker wrote reviews for the 'New Yorker', and was a member of the Algonquin Round Table along with Robert Benchley, Robert Sherwood, James Thurber and Ring Lardner, a group renowned for their sardonic wit and intelligent conversation. She died alone in 1967, and left her estate, interestingly, to Martin Luther King.

Answer: Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith (born Dorothy Gladys Smith in Manchester in 1896) first came to the attention of the public in 1929 when her play "Autumn Crocus" became a success in the West End of London. More plays and novels followed, but it wasn't until 1948 that she wrote "I Capture the Castle".

The children's book for which she is particularly remembered is, of course, "The Hundred and One Dalmatians", which she wrote in 1956. Dodie Smith died in 1990 at the age of 94.

Answer: Dot Branning

Dot Cotton, mother of the notorious villain Nick Cotton and widow of the feckless uncaring Charlie Cotton, seems at last to have found happiness with Jim Branning, although there are rarely such things as happy endings in soap operas!

Answer: Mary Leta Dorothy Slaton

Dorothy Lamour took her exotic sounding name not from the French word for love, as many of her fans assumed at the time, but from her stepfather, Clarence Lambour, to whom her mother was married, albeit very briefly. Dorothy Lamour never pretended to be a great actress or singer, and was well known for her self deprecating humour.

She once joked that, starring with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, "I felt like a wonderful sandwich, a slice of white bread between two slices of ham." On another occasion when asked whether she had studied acting or singing, she replied, "No. Can't you tell?"

Answer: Middlemarch

In "Middlemarch" which was written towards the end of George Eliot's career, Dorothea Brooke marries a man whom she does not love because she admires his intellect and endeavour, and hopes that she can help him in his work, but finds that it is a totally unsatisfactory arrangement.

After the death of her husband Casaubon, she marries his nephew Will, and ultimately finds happiness of a sort. "Middlemarch", subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life", is widely regarded as George Eliot's greatest achievement.

Answer: We never find out

No reference is made in any of the books to the fate of Dorothy's parents, and it is certainly never explained how she came to live with her aunt and uncle. The only time anything about her past is mentioned is in "The Emerald City of Oz" with these words, "As for Uncle Henry, he thought his little niece merely a dreamer, as her dead mother had been ..."

Answer: Leigh

Dorothy Leigh Sayers was an academic as well as a popular author. Although she graduated with a first class honours degree in Modern languages from Somerville College, Oxford in 1915, she disliked the cloistered and 'precious' atmosphere of the colleges and went to work for Blackwell's, the bookshop and publishers.

As well as her crime novels she also wrote poetry and translated works from French and Italian. She died in 1957.

Answer: First black woman nominated for a 'Best Actress' Academy Award

Dorothy Dandridge's career following her nomination for the title role in the film "Carmen Jones" was never as successful. She made several unwise career decisions, including turning down the role of Tuptim in "The King and I", and her personal life was no more successful. She died in 1965 following an overdose of anti-depressants, though whether this was accidental or not isn't known.

Answer: Roger Moore

Dorothy Squires remained devoted to Roger Moore all her life even though they divorced in 1968 having parted acrimoniously in 1961. Her career, which had seen her fill theatres all over the UK and America, began to decline as their marriage was failing, due largely to her irrational jealousy and erratic behaviour, possibly because of his increasing popularity in series such as "Ivanhoe" and "The Saint".

She died a poverty-striken recluse in 1998.

Answer: Princess Anne

Following the incident in Hyde Park during which the boisterous Dottie bit two children, Princess Anne became the first royal ever to be prosecuted in Crown Court. The charge was of having a dangerously out of control dog. The judge gave Dottie the benefit of the doubt on this occasion, but warned Princess Anne that any further transgressions would have severe consequences.
