These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Smith & Guessin' and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 7 - Entertainment - Hollywood Scandals
In light of recent events occurring in the entertainment world,
here is a round on famous Hollywood scandals of the past.
1. Perhaps the first Hollywood scandal occurred in the 1920s when
this comedian allegedly raped an aspiring actress in a hotel
room after a party, rupturing her bladder. She died and he
was charged with manslaughter, but acquitted.
2. In 1943 this Hollywood star, best known for his roles as
"Robin Hood" and "Peter Blood", was accused of statutory rape
by two underage girls. He, too, was acquitted of all charges.
Who is this actor?
3. This film director pleaded guilty to having sex with an underage
girl in 1977 at Jack Nicholson's house. He fled to Europe
before sentencing. Who is he?
4. This film director would leave his girlfriend in 1992 because
he was having an affair. The problem was, it was with his
adopted daughter. He was also accused of molesting his other
adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. Who is he?
5. This actor was at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta
in 1988 when he met two girls and took them back to his
hotel room. After filming the night's activities, the girls
would make away with the camera and all of the actor's money.
Who was this actor?
6. This actor was found dead in his hotel in Bangkok at age 72 in
what was at first assumed to be suicide by hanging. Turns out
it was a mishap during an autoerotic-asphyxiation session.
Who was he?
7. Perhaps the first celebrity tell-all, "Mommie Dearest" centers
on this actress and how she was emotionally abusive towards her
adopted daughter, the author of the book. It would be made into
a movie starring Faye Dunaway. Who is the subject of the book?
8. Perhaps the first true Hollywood love triangle scandal saw
Elizabeth Taylor stealing Debbie Reynolds's husband in 1958
after her own husband Mike Todd had died in a plane crash.
What rock-and-roller was Debbie's husband?
9. He was known as the father of the Western, and had a hand
in over 300 films. While partying on William Randolph Hearst's
yacht to celebrate his 44th birthday, he died prematurely --
of a heart attack, it was said. But some believe that there
something more sinister afoot, and that he was actually shot
and killed. Who was he?
10. This actress drowned while vacationing on Catalina Island with
her husband Robert Wagner and then co-star Christopher Walken.
The circumstances were odd, though, and some thought that she
was murdered by her husband as he was jealous of her relationship
with Walken. Who was she?
