3. The legendary Cyd Charisse played a character named Fiona in which classic movie?

Answer: Brigadoon

Released in 1954, "Brigadoon" was directed by Vincente Minelli (Liza's dad). Cyd Charrise starred with Gene Kelly. Did you know that her real name was Tula Ellice Finklea?

4. In which field of the Arts is Fiona Chadwick a well-known name?

Answer: classical ballet

Fiona Chadwick was a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet and danced all the major classical roles during the 1980s and early 1990s. She also starred in the updated version of "Swan Lake" by Adventures in Motion Pictures, dancing alongside the sensational Adam Cooper.

5. This Fiona presented Britain's GMTV every morning on ITV.

Answer: Fiona Phillips

"Highlights" of her career included her hard-hitting interview with Michael Barrymore, her in-depth coverage of showbiz gossip and her witty banter with Eamonn Holmes.

Answer: Toni Collette

Toni Collette is the Australian actress who had her big break with "Muriel's Wedding" and has since starred in "Emma" alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and had roles in "The Pallbearer," "The Sixth Sense," and "Velvet Goldmine."

7. This actress is best known for her roles in '70s "adult" movies, but also played a tiny role in "Mel Brooks' History of the World." Her name?

Answer: Fiona Richmond

Worryingly, one of my male friends, when asked if he knew any famous Fionas, instantly named Fiona Richmond. According to the IMDb, her movies include "Hardcore," "Let's Get Laid," and "Expos�." Lovely.

Answer: violin

This Fiona graduated with first class honours and plays a 1787 Carlo Gagliano violin.

9. Which animated film featured the character of Princess Fiona?

Answer: Shrek

She was voiced by Cameron Diaz. As far as I know, this is the only time there has been a Princess Fiona, either in movies or real life.

10. Fiona Bruce is a popular and successful BBC journalist and presenter. Which of these has she NOT presented (as of 2002)?

Answer: Watchdog

Fiona Bruce began her BBC career on Newsroom South East. She is now the main anchor-woman for the early evening news. Stay away from Watchdog though Fiona, that's my adice!

From what I can see, there seems to be a shortage of Fionas in celebrity circles. They seem to stick to sensible, useful jobs. The ones that get famous either stay low key, or must have changed their name.
