15 out of 20!
Great questions!
I missed: 12, 13, 14, 15, 19
The original airfield for DC was located roughly where Pentagon City is now, and offered complimentary sedan service to DC. BUT, there was a local policeman stationed at the airport because they had to CLOSE the cross streets while a landing was being made.
I also remember when Rocketman bit one of the Annies, and she wore a flesh colored glove for that scene. Rocketman was owned by a kitchen staffer, and was prone to bark when the audience clapped. Annie was my first tech job at WEDT!
Didn't remember the name Rouse, but I think he had a hand in Reston, too.
This is a fun feature! I'll be back!
BTW- You should add 'Perfume' to your movie queue. Great story, good actors, but the highlight of the movie is the cinematography. The photography is amazingly sensual; you can almost smell and taste the imagery on screen.
Thanks Joey. I added Perfume last night after I read your recommendation.
I like the quizes Jim! Thanks.
I did horriable! I got only 4 :( Though you still didn't answer the question of what was the airport before it was an airport. It could have been a pier or just a fishing hole.
It was called The Potomac River
Hi Jim.
Kevin is challenging your answer for #13. He says, and we googled it, that Ralph Malph's dad was a wise cracking optometrist. Love, Krissy
Oh, oh. I think you may be right. I was going by my memory. Now that I think about it he did have those huge glasses with the eyes that popped out.
Question 21 - Who played Ralph's dad and what role was he known for?
I gotta ask Kevin that. I don't know. Kevin probably will.
I only got 6. I'm not doing so well on these quizzes. I'd like to see a Follow Spot Blogger Network quiz that involves question pertaining to past post from some of the blogs linked by The Follow Spot. I'd kick ass on that.
I did so much better with this one. Unfortunately, Jim...I didn't know your birthday. Sorry!
I know I'm late, but I do love the quizzes. I did miserably, though. I had a grand total of 5.
