While I had no problem remembering the other famous Redgrave sister, I think Lynn was just as famous as Vanessa.

Come on,Vanessa is far more famous than Lynn.

I think Lynn garnered more fame in the United States. I think that's why more quiz takers remember her better.

Nailed it. Got 28 out of 28. Had 1:10 to spare. Would have finished it sooner if i could have came up with whoopi goldberg quicker. Lol. Almost gave up on that one.

Never heard of 5 of them and couldnt think of Wanda Sykes. I think Vanessa Redgrave is definitely the more well known of the two sisters.

After hearing she's from big bang theory, I'm glad I have no idea who she is. I grew up watching Popular Mechanics for Kids with Elisha Cuthbert so that was a no brainer :)

I tried like 6 different spellings of Kaley, and never got it.

Same. I finally looked it up cause I was getting worried that I was going crazy and it wasn't Kaley/Kaelie/Kaylie/Kayley after all.

Because I tried almost every other variant spelling of "Elisha"...

I really think you should accept alternate spellings of Kaley and Hilary. I've never noticed that Swank only puts one L in her first name, and that Kaley doesn't have an I.

Hillary would have worked

what about candice bergman? That should definitely count.

It would, if only her last name were not Bergen.

Got them all except for Edie Falco and Kaley Cuoco, who I've never even heard about. American TV people, I'm guessing?

Edie Falco is from The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie, while Kaley Cuoco is from The Big Bang Theory.

I missed six, and i SHOULD'VE gotten Whoopi. The other 5 (Sissy, Ingrid, Vanessa, Eliza, and Edie) I've never heard of.

Another vote for Lynn Redgrave. I put her in first too, before switching to Vanessa. She was a marvelous actress, multiple Oscar nominations, and fantastic on Stage. Seeing her doing Shakespeare was one of my all time theatrical experiences.

2.5 years later and I still think Cuoco's first name is Kelly. Made the same mistake and missed the same two as last time.

2 years later and I remember her name wasn't Kelly. But I tried Kayleigh, and Kaylie, and Kailie, and maybe a couple other things before giving up assuming I had forgotten her name again.

Typed in Edith Falco and it wouldn't take it. Could you please accept that in the future? That could be why many people are getting that one wrong.

Level 81

Same here. But then I remembered Edie when Edith wasn't accepted. Edith still should be acceptable as it is her first name.
