Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Brooke Shields starred as Susan Keane. She received this role/series largely due to a prior guest appearance on the NBC sitcom "Friends".

Answer: True

Brooke appeared in one "Friends" episode, "The One After The Super Bowl (1)". She delivered a fine comedy performance as Erika Ford, a fan obsessed with Joey and his soap opera character Drake Ramoray.

2. In addition to being a popular actress, Brooke Shields has enjoyed an extremely successful modelling career. Which other famous model/actress appeared on "Suddenly Susan"?

Answer: Kathy Ireland

Kathy Ireland was one of the first supermodels. She appeared twice on "Suddenly Susan", as Terri (Adam's ex-wife). Kathy and Brooke share a common physical characteristic: very bushy eyebrows.

3. Jack Richmond was Susan's first boss at "The Gate", and one of her main romantic interests. In the series opener, Susan left Jack's brother at the altar. What was the jilted brother's name?

Answer: Kip

Kip appeared in three additional episodes during the run of the series. Susan also had a memorable evening with Jack's brother-in-law, Flip, in the episode "Was it Something I Said?"

4. Todd Stites was the music critic for "The Gate". What was his favorite song?

Answer: "Praise You" (Fatboy Slim)

Sadly, we learned this fact during the poignant memorial episode for David Strickland, "A Day in the Life" (the third season finale). The final tribute at the end of the episode read, "The Gods of Comedy Looked Down Upon You and Smiled". Rest in peace, David.

5. In one episode, Todd became overprotective of his visiting sister, because she was going out on a date with Jack. What was his sister's name?

Answer: Oxnard

It turned out that Todd's worries were unnecessary. When Jack tried to kiss Oxnard, he discovered she reminded him so much of Todd that he couldn't go any further.

6. Nestor Carbonell played Luis Rivera, photographer for "The Gate" magazine. What nationality was Luis?

Answer: Cuban

Luis spoke often of his Cuban heritage. Two episodes ("A Boy Like That" and "5,947 Miles") centered around visits from his Cuban relatives.

7. During the fourth season, "The Gate" had a second staff photgrapher, Oliver Browne, who became Susan's primary love interest. Who portrayed Oliver?

Answer: Rob Estes

Rob Estes played Oliver, but all four actors were associated with "The Gate". Bill Stevenson was Pete, the gay mail room clerk during seasons 1-3. Judd Nelson portrayed Jack Richmond, the magazine's owner during the first three seasons; in the fourth season, the magazine was taken over by Ian Maxtone-Graham, played by Eric Idle (of "Monty Python" fame).

8. Vicki Groener is best known for her obnoxious personality, flaming red hair, and outlandish wardrobe. She once dated a professional ice hockey player named Ulf. What was Vicki's job at "The Gate"?

Answer: Restaurant Critic

Vicki was the restaurant critic for "The Gate". Before she married Rabbi Ben Rubenstein, Vicki went with him on an ill-fated kibbutz in Isreal; in her absence, Todd and Luis competed for the vacant food critic assignment.

9. Andrea Bendewald portrayed Maddy Piper, a high school classmate and nemesis of Susan. Vicki once stole something out of Maddy's office. What was it?

Answer: A vase

Vicki took the vase because she was annoyed that Maddy didn't give her a wedding gift. Both Maddy and Vicki thought the vase was a valuable original, but it later proved to be a cheap knock-off.

10. Which 1960's-era rock band made an appearance on "Suddenly Susan"?

Answer: The Turtles

The Turtles appeared in the episode "Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut", and performed their signature song, "So Happy Together".
