The Cortlandt Family Trivia Quiz

Answer: All of them

Natalie, Cynthia, and Vanessa have been just a few of the wives of Palmer. He has also walked down the aisle with Opal Purdy, Donna Beck, and Daisy Murdoch.

Answer: She is Ross' second cousin

You can think this one out starting with Palmer and Dixie's relationship. Palmer is Dixie's uncle since he is the brother of Dixie's biological mother, Bess Cooney. Palmer's son is Ross Chandler with Lottie Chandler so Ross and Dixie are cousins. Since Dixie is Kathy's mother and Ross and Dixie are cousins, that would make Kathy Ross' second cousin.

Answer: Appendicitis

Nina met Dr. Cliff Warner when she went through appendicitis. This meeting spawned one of the most beloved super-couples on "All My Children." Cliff and Nina walked down the aisle four times and share a son, Bobby Warner, who Nina adopted when his birth mother, Sybil Thorne, died. Cindy Parker Chandler had AIDS, Mona Kane suffered from lung cancer, and JR Chandler got hepatitis after Richie Novak stole his bone marrow.

Answer: Brian Bodine

The famous "Who Killed Will?" murder mystery is one of the show's most classic storylines. The culprit ended up being Janet Green, who escaped from the hospital and bludgeoned Will in the head with a crowbar. Brian Bodine was arrested for the crime but got the charges dropped when he was found not guilty. Livia Frye was his defense attorney in his trial. Janet revealed to Natalie that she killed Will when she kidnapped Natalie (this was also when Janet went into labor and Natalie delivered Amanda). Janet explained that, because Trevor hated Will for being with his niece, Hayley, she thought killing Will would get her closer to Trevor. Janet served two years in prison and was released in 1994.

Answer: Sybil Thorne

Bobby is the biological son of Sybil Thorne. When she was murdered, Nina Warner adopted him. Cliff was afraid Sybil would spill the beans about carrying Cliff's child at his first wedding to Nina. Thankfully, Sybil did not interrupt their wedding and they married.

However, when Nina found out that Cliff had an affair with Sybil, they broke up. Cliff and Nina still managed to reunite many times through their courtship.

Answer: Samuel Grey

Palmer has a great grandson in Samuel Grey. Sam was the product of an affair between Palmer's grandson, Bobby Warner, and Kelsey Jefferson. Bobby and Kelsey agreed that they would give Sam up for adoption when he was born and that Edmund and Maria Grey would adopt him. Kelsey changed her mind at the last minute and got Sam back in her custody. Eventually, she returned Sam to the Greys. Andrew was Palmer's former stepson when he was married to his mother, Cynthia, and Leo was also a stepson of his when he got hitched with Vanessa Bennett. Tad and Palmer are in no way related.

Answer: Robert Gentry

It was Gentry who played the role of Ross before he went on to another soap, "Guiding Light." Gentry was on "All My Children" for six years and left the show when Ross went to prison after being convicted of raping Natalie Marlowe. Gentry was nominated twice for a Daytime Emmy, once for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and once for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Mitchell plays Palmer Cortlandt, Daniel Kennedy portrays Peter Cortlandt, and Michael E. Knight is well known for portraying Tad Martin.

Answer: Natalie Marlowe

Adam and Palmer have both been married to Natalie but the unions were short lived. Natalie was also married to Jeremy Hunter, Alex Hunter, and Trevor Dillon before she died in a car accident in 1993 that also left Adam paralyzed. Natalie's spirit has returned on a couple of occasions. Once was to thwart a couple of hoodlums from harming her son, Tim.

Another was when she gave Janet her blessing to marry Trevor. Her final moment as a ghost came when she welcomed Gillian Andrassy into Heaven.

Answer: Switzerland

Dixie hightailed it to Switzerland when she found out she was pregnant with Tad's child. A couple months later, Tad planned on meeting up with her in Switzerland but then came the news she got into a car accident and died. In a couple of years, it was revealed Dixie was alive and her baby had survived the accident and she had spent the past couple of years looking for her daughter that her doctor, Greg Madden, tricked her into giving up because she thought she was dying.

Answer: Foxy's

Palmer worked as a busboy when he had amnesia and his place of employment was at Foxy's. When he got his memory back, he resumed his duties as head of Cortlandt Electronics.
