Ginger Trivia, Round One...

OK - hope this challenges y'all out there... trivia regarding our Miss Rogers!

The answers to these are posted WAY below the 'movie list' on the right-hand side of the blog...now, y'all COULD 'Google' or 'Wiki' (if allowed in your area), but what is the challenge in THAT, I ask you?

Hope this will be an enriching experience for all...and please, if any discrepancies arise, feel free to comment - as a lot of these are derived from various and sundry locations on the world-wide web, thus open for review...

Good Luck! JW

Question ONE: How old was Ginger when she married Jack Culpepper, her first husband?

Question TWO: What was Ginger's first movie in color, and in what year?

Question THREE: What year did Ginger place her hands and feet in the cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater?

Question FOUR: Before show business got her, Ginger originally planned to enter what profession?

Question FIVE: Where does Ginger place on the American Film Institute's list of "100 Greatest Screen Legends - Actresses"? (Within 3 spots either way...)

Question SIX: What actress did Ginger replace in the role of "Mama Jean" in 1965's "Harlow"?

Question SEVEN: From 1934's "The Gay Divorcee" onward, Ginger reeled off 20 consecutive movies for her home studio, RKO. What studio broke that streak, with what movie, and in what year?

  2. Well, I thought of different ways to do the Q/A thing... thought there would be a 'Gadget' to do it, but did not find one...
    Anyway, hopefully this arrangement works ok, and hopefully folks will run thru it prior to checking out the comments.
    It is kind of interesting that there are somewhat major discepancies as to Ginger's movie list, between her book and TCM, which I figured would be the 'top two' as far as accuracy goes... for example, 'Rafter Romance' is noted as being in 1934 from Ginger's book, but TCM places it squarely in 1933, which, if true, makes TEN films for VKM in '33!!! See, that's why we are here...to find the TRUTH!!! it's out there....somewhere. My gut says 'go with Ginger's book', but then again, those cats at TCM are pretty sharp...
    Anyway, hope these were challenging - some may have been a bit too much, but if it was easy, anyone could do it!
