I thought it was Jane Alexander, also.  And when he said it wasn't I looked it up and Google gave me Jane Alexander.

Hi Joy
Of course Google the answers.

I do it myself if I don't know the answers.

Kelly

Hi angel
Sorry I missed your post.

Question 10 is not correct, it is not the answer I have.

Kelly

Hi Everyone
When I saw Question 10, before I looked at the answers the name I though of was the answer. 

If anyone wants a hint, I will leave one for each question.

Kelly

If #14 has not been answered yet...I will take a shot at it: If it has  I apologize

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton made ELEVEN films together (ten theatrical films and one TV movie):

Hi Chia
Question 14 is correct

Thank you.

Kelly

Hi Everyone
I am retiring now

One question left.

10. Whose biography is entitled Citizen Jane?


If it is not answered in the morning UK time. About nine hours time I will close the quiz.

Has anyone a quiz ready, as I should have a quiz ready by Thursday evening.

Kelly

I'm going to take a wild guess because the only other "Jane" I can think of that might be called Citizen Jane is...

Jane Fonda

Jane,  I think that is the answer that Kelly is looking for.   But, from all the other sources that I looked up , they all said Jane Alexander.

So, maybe there must have been two different movies with the same name.   I couldn't find any other mention of Jane Fonda in any of the sources that I looked at.

Have to wait and see if Kelly has an explanation.

Joy

Hi JaneS
Jane Fonda is the correct answer.

Thank you

Kelly

Citizen Jane is about Jane Fondas life and I chose the question as she was and still is a high profile person.

As there is an actress in the UK called Jane Alexander, best known for Hilda Ogden on Coronation Street, I thought that Jane Fonda would be more recognisable than the UK's Jane Alexander.

Kelly

Hi Everyone
Out and about soon!

I will post the results in a few hours.

If any member had a quiz ready please post one.  If not Inshould have another one ready by tonight UK time.

Kelly

Kelly, the Jane Alexander that (I think) all of us were citing lives (or lived) in SanFrancisco US and was famous for trying to solve the murder of her aunt.  There was a book written about her exploits and a movie.  I think James Dalessandro was the author of the book.

Hi JaneS
I read a bit about Jane Alexander.

But I thought that the actress Jane Fonda was an easier answer, being part of the Fonda family.

Still not home!

These smartphones are so good as I can reply while out in the town.  The microphone part of the phone is good.

Citizen Jane


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Citizen Jane may refer to:

Citizen Jane (book), a 1999 true-crime book by James Dalessandro

Citizen Jane, a 1990 biography of Jane Fonda by Christopher Andersen[/color]


I guess the ones who guessed either way were correct .  Although I could not find any other reference to Jane Fonda.

Nevertheless, Kelly,  there were some very interesting Trivia questions.  Thank you !

Joy

Evidently there are several Citizen Janes floating around

Good quiz!  you made us put on our thinking caps!

Kelly - thank you for this very interesting and controversial quiz! I too, thought of Jane Fonda, because somewhere in the back of my mind, I can remember her being referred to as Citizen Jane. 

If anyone is interested in the fascinating life of Jane Fonda, read her autobiography, "My Life So Far".  Believe me, it's a good read!  It starts in her childhood, when her mother committed suicide, and all about her life with her self centered father, Henry.  Then came her string of unusual marriages, and of course her famous Vietnam escapade.  It will hold your interest for sure. 

FOR SURE!  It will!

Hi JaneS
Thank you

Kelly

Hi Marilyne
Thank you

Kelly

Hi Marilyne
Not sure it was controversial, as you had in mind the answer.

And that answer was the one I required.

Kelly
