About This Quiz

Spirit animals do not always have to be furry! In fact, people can be spirit animals, too. Think of this quiz as a script of your life that'll help us figure out which classic actress is your spirit animal. All you have to do is answer each question with your best dramatic flair.

Eagles, bears and wolves make great spirit animals and all, but there are people like you who need something a little bit more. Your spirit animal should match your sense of style and the way you entertain the world. For you, only someone with the grace and charm of a classic actress could possibly be your spirit animal. In order to figure out which one is the right one for you, you'll have to turn toward the camera and give us your best smile in the form of an answer.

Will you end up being guarded by someone as sharp as Hedy Lamarr, or does your spirit animal need to be as glamorous as Elizabeth Taylor? Pretend you're wearing a little black dress as you go through the questions, and just as the credit rolls at the end of your favorite film, we'll reveal which actress gets the part of your spirit animal?
