Yes, I see that could be confusing. Sorry.

Not a Jamie.

Very close. Just little younger than that.

11 is correct!

Go just a little younger for Henry.

Cinisajoy · 02-01-2016, 06:46 PM

75 for Henry Fonda.
If I remember right, it was for On Golden Pond.

Shayne Parkinson · 02-01-2016, 07:00 PM

Nearly there. Split the difference between your answers, Cin.

It was indeed for "On Golden Pond".

Cinisajoy · 02-01-2016, 07:20 PM

Ok he was 76.
And I think Jessica Tandy's was for Driving Miss Daisy.

Shayne Parkinson · 02-01-2016, 09:55 PM

76 is correct.

Yes, it was for "Driving Miss Daisy".

Shayne Parkinson · 02-03-2016, 03:41 PM

Time to put this to bed, I think.

Bumping for Cin to pose the next quiz.

Bilbo1967 · 02-08-2016, 09:41 AM

As I went to a quiz last night I'll jump in with one that I remember from that if that's OK.

Similar to one I posted earlier, there are 9 questions; the answer to each is connected somehow and that connection is the answer required for number 10;

1. Which international sporting event was postponed for a year following the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in 2001?

2. What is the currency of Egypt?

3. What was the name given to the action taken by the Sons of Liberty in December 1773 as a protest against taxation without representation?

4. What material is the Taj Mahal mainly constructed from?

5. The royalties from which book were gifted by its author to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London?

6. What is the common name of the animals that make up the phylum Porifera?

7. Kopi Luwak is made from an ingredient retrieved from the droppings of the palm civet. What is it?

8. What is Scotland's 4th largest city?

9. Mish, Lappi and Yarg are types of what?

10. What single word links all the answers above?
