Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Alan Alda

He was born Alfonso Joseph D'Abruzzo Jr Jan 28, 1936 in New York where he lived with his wife Arlene. They have three daughters, Eve, Elizabeth and Beatrice.

2. Which of the following people was born on October 20? The character they played was from Philadelphia and received a promotion during the series.

Answer: William Christopher

3. Jamie Farr was born in which month in 1934?

Answer: July

Jamie Farr, best known as Maxwell Q. Klinger, was born on 1st July 1934, and named Jameel Farrah in, you guessed it, Toledo Ohio!

4. Which actor, whose character was married with a baby and starred S4 - S11, was born on February 6?

Answer: Mike Farrell

Born in St Paul, MN. Mike Farrel is soon to celebrate his 64th birthday. His wife was an extra on "M*A*S*H" as Nurse Able once in a while. They have a daughter named Erin and a son, Mike Jr. Judy and Mike have since separated. Mike Farrel currently stars on "Providence" and is looking great! Sid Freedman (Arbus) also had a baby and a wife back home, but he appeared earlier than Season 4. Trapper (Rogers) did have two children, but we are given the impression that they are older as they both write letters. Rogers was only around till Season 3, when BJ Hunnicutt (Farrell) replaced him.

5. What is significant about the date Harry Morgan was born (April 10)?

Answer: It is also the day Larry Linville passed away in 2000.

Sadly, April 10 is also when Larry Linville passed away. Harry Morgan was born Harry Bratsburg in 1915, Detroit, MI, he has starred in many roles, including Sherman Potter on "M*A*S*H". The peace treaty was signed July 27 1953 and Alda's birthday is Jan 28.

6. Which actor shares his birthday with the date of BJ and Peggy Hunnicutt's wedding anniversary? The character he played was roughly 5'5", wore glasses and loved animals.

Answer: Gary Burghoff

Born in Bristol CT, Burghoff is now a talented artist and paints wildlife pictures. His birthday in "M*A*S*H" is also said to be the day that BJ and Peggy married. Colonel Potter also fits the description, as he wasn't too tall, needed specs and adored animals, namely his horse, Sophie.

7. Which of these actors/actresses were born in November? The person they portrayed was in almost every episode.

Answer: Loretta Swit

The wonderful actress who played Major Houlihan was born November 4 1937, Passaic NJ. She is only believed to be missing from one episode in the whole 11 seasons. I have counted two or three others, but that could be because the shows are being shortened to fit in more advertisements, and her scenes are removed.

8. What spooky holiday is David Odgen Stiers born on?

Answer: Halloween

Born in 1942, Stiers (he pronounces it Stires) has done voices for a number for Disney characters, his latest claim to fame being "Lilo and Stitch".

9. Wayne Rogers was born in the city of Birmingham on April 7th, but what American state was he born in?

Answer: Alabama

He was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1933. Played the gorgeous Trapper John in "M*A*S*H" for the first three seasons.

10. What day was Larry Linville born?

Answer: September 29

Larry was born 1932 in Ojai, CA, and died on April 10, 2000 after a battle with cancer and pneumonia. He played the infamous Frank Marion Burns for the first five seasons of the show.

11. Born in Normal, IL, which actor succumbed to a heart attack and pneumonia in 1996?

Answer: McLean Stevenson

Born in 1932, McLean Stevenson passed away on the 15th of February 1996.

12. Which wife in these husband and wife pairs sometimes played Nurse Able?

Answer: Mike and Judy Farrell

Judy and Mike have since separated but have a daughter, Erin and a son Mike Jr.

13. Jamie Farr is not his birth name.

Answer: True

Jamie Farr was born Jameel Farrah. He played the cross-dressing Klinger through the show, has also starred in the "Cannonball" movies as an extremely wealthy shiek.

14. Which couple has been blessed with three daughters?

Answer: Alan and Arlene Alda

Alan and Arlene's daughters are named Eve, Elizabeth and Beatrice.

15. Which actor has the same birthplace as the character he portrays?

Answer: Jamie Farr

Apparently the cafe "Tony Paco's" that Klinger raves about is a real place and former haunt of Jamie Farr.

16. After leaving the show, which actor painted wildlife scenes even though three fingers on one hand are roughly an inch shorter than average?

Answer: Gary Burghoff

Although Harry Morgan (Col. Potter) painted in the show, they weren't his own work. Apparently Burghoff is responsible for some of these. Gary is also a talented musician as we get to see in "Showtime" when he cuts loose on the drums.

17. Which actor has been blessed with two sons? The character he portrayed was played by George Morgan in the pilot episode.

Answer: William Christopher

He and his wife Barbara O'Connor's children are named John and Edward.

18. What year was Wayne Rogers (Trapper) born?

Answer: 1933

Born in Birmingham, Alabama.

Answer: Edward Winter

He played Colonel Flagg in only six episodes, but still rates as many people's favourite supporting character. Jeff Maxwell played the cook/corpsman Igor Straminsky and to my knowledge is still alive and well.

20. Which person is the only actor/actress to have appeared in every episode?

Answer: Alan Alda

Alan Alda has starred as Hawkeye Pierce in all 251 episodes. Loretta Swit is only missing a few. Although the characters played by Christopher and Farr, F.Mulcahy and Klinger, have been around since season 1, they have not appeared in every episode.
