About This Quiz
If the hubbub surrounding the annual Academy Awards is any indication, people are enamored with movie stars. Indeed, award shows emphasize the glitz and glamour of celebrity life. Everyone oohs and aahs over the exquisite gowns and sharp tuxes the actors wear on the red carpet. People replay and pick apart movie stars' acceptance speeches. (Incidentally, in 1963, Patty Duke had one of the shortest acceptance speeches ever with the succinct "Thank you.")

So find out how well you know your celebrities with this quiz. Maybe your favorite movie stars made our list, and maybe there's a couple you'll have to check out!
