With the death of Paul Walker over the weekend, I thought for this possibly last quiz of the year I’d have you remember the other actors that were lost this year. I’m giving you their names I want you to put them in order of their age at death. This would be an easy one to cheat one, RESIST the temptation 🙂 Leaderboard here.

Paul Walker (famous for Fast & Furious movies), Cory Monteith (played the popular Finn on television’s Glee), James Gandolfini (made his mark as The Sopranos mob boss), Annette Funicello (of Mickey Mouse Club fame), Jean Stapleton (the long suffering Edith Bunker on All in the Family), Jonathan Winters (a comedian who I’ll always remember as baby Mearth on TV’s Mork and Mindy), Dennis Farina (was in lots of films, but also spent a few years as a detective Law & Order), Eileen Brennan (this funny actress got around but I loved her as Goldie Hawn’s foil in Private Benjamin), Esther Williams (known as the Million Dollar Mermaid), Lee Thompson Young (first role on Disney’s The Famous Jett Jackson his last role as Rizzoli’s partner on TNTs Rizzoli & Isles)

I’m going to leave up last week’s quiz for another week if you’d like to try your hand at Eiffel Tower book covers. Eiffel Tower Quiz

I’m no expert on French actors and actresses, but when I started looking I was surprised at how many I knew. Can you tell me the names of these talented thespians? And you’ll get extra points if you name one movie they were in.

PLEASE join in the fun. You can guess as few or as many as you want and you entered to win a prize at the end of the month. No Googling please 🙂
