Few things beat a good old-fashioned movie quiz. Our latest brain-teaser takes you back to the golden age of the silver screen, where a striking portrait of a fiery-haired actress is paired with four famous names. Your job is simple: study the picture, trust your memory of classic cinema, and pick the star you think it is.
The Four Legends in the Lineup
Each of the four names on the card earned a place in movie history, so even a wrong guess will teach you something new. Here is a quick look at each one.
A. Shirley MacLaine
Shirley MacLaine built a career that stretched across more than six decades. She charmed audiences in The Apartment (1960) and later won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Terms of Endearment (1983). Her long run on screen and stage makes her one of the most respected performers of her generation.
B. Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch became a pop culture icon in the 1960s, with bold roles in Fantastic Voyage (1966) and One Million Years B.C. (1966). Her striking presence made her a poster favorite, and she remains one of the most recognizable names of that era.
C. Ursula Andress
Swiss-born Ursula Andress made a memorable entrance as Honey Ryder in Dr. No (1962), the first James Bond film. Her sun-kissed glamour helped define the early Bond girl image and kept her on screen for decades.
D. Ann-Margret
Ann-Margret rose to stardom with musicals such as Bye Bye Birdie (1963) and Viva Las Vegas (1964), where she shared the screen with Elvis Presley. She later earned an Academy Award nomination for her dramatic work in Carnal Knowledge (1971), showing the range that made her a true Hollywood all-rounder.
How to Play Like a Trivia Pro
