I didn't get the sitcom star question, I think I have separate folders for historical events and current events in my brain...

Good quiz. Clarkson didn't create Top Gear, though. Derek Smith did in 1977. Clarkson is just one of its most famous presenters.

Agreed, Clarkson certainly didn't create Top Gear. He just appeared as one of its many presenters a long time after it first started.

The original series began in 1977, and was cancelled by the BBC in 2001. Clarkson was behind the new version, which launched in 2002. So no, he didn't create it.

OK, overall great quiz. I used to write a weekly quiz for a major network website (downtown Atlanta, three letters - you guess) and we really made a point to highlight the person's achievements - not their deaths, unless that was the point. So I'm biased, and I admit it. Some of these rubbed me wrong. So (no spoilers) Singer who died of an overdose in 2012 - really? Can we name a song or a movie? She's so much bigger than that. Sitcom star who drowned - less offensive because it is current events - but how about naming the sitcom and leaving it at that? The only one that doesn't seem to offend is beheaded fifth wife of Henry VIII - because that's what she is known for (divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.)

I thought it strange that Michael J. Fox was reduced to his ailment.

I thought the same thing, actually. It seemed a little mean to me, unnecessarily. But, I too enjoyed the quiz despite the complaint.

Anthony Hopkins was surely more well known for being the star of Silence of the Lambs? He actually won an Oscar for that role, but was only nominated in the movie in the clue.

I kind of liked that hint. I felt happy to see someone else aside from me and the reluctant date I had dragged to the theater had actually seen that movie!

I wasted so much time trying to remember Amy Winehouse's name for the "singer who died of an overdose" clue, only to remember after the quiz was over that she died in 2011. Whoops

For Sean Penn's ex-wife, I wasted so much time trying to figure out what Madonna's last name was. I had no idea that guy was also married to the Princess Bride.

Red headed Texan who *sings* On the Road Again. He's still alive...and still performing. I know it's not technically incorrect to say he sang the song, It's just clearer and more accurate to use the present tense or say that he recorded the song if you really want it in the past tense.

The question is referring to the record people are familiar with, as oppose to subsequent live performances. It's a good point though.

An advice. You can also add Anna Hathaway, the actress, and Anna Hathaway, Shakespeare’s wife.

It could also be an idea for a quiz on homonyms

Edit: I got Jeremy Clarkson, Perry and Neil Armstrong. That was all. and I got Katy Perry by accident because I thought maybe she was the singer who had overdosed.

read "First President of Texas" as "First President from Texas" which is why I couldn't type "Johnson"

Also typed "Buffett" as "Buffet" like at restaurants
