As it was the anniversary of Elizabeth I's accession this week, I thought we'd celebrate her reign once more with an Elizabeth I-themed quiz. This time, about portrayals of the queen in movies and on TV.
Good luck!
#1. Which of these actresses has played Elizabeth I?
#2. Who played Elizabeth I in the movie "Mary, Queen of Scots", based on John Guy's biography of Mary?
#3. True or false: Anita Dobson played Elizabeth I in the BBC2 documentary "Armada"?
#4. In which TV series did Miranda Richardson play Elizabeth I?
#5. Which actor played Robert Dudley in "Elizabeth I" starring Helen Mirren as Elizabeth?
#6. True or false: Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter Joely Richardson played old and young Elizabeths in "Anonymous"?
#7. Anne-Marie Duff played Elizabeth in "The Virgin Queen", but who played Robert Dudley?
#8. Which of these actors had parts in the 1998 "Elizabeth"?
#9. Bette Davis played Elizabeth in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, but which year was it released?

9/10 Most of them compete guesses. Elizabeth I I know, actresses not so much. I got Mary Q of Scots, last version wrong which I have only seen half a dozen times. You would think I would know the name of the actress by now. 😂
Oh well done! Great score!
8 / 10! Ok…
I LOVE Elizabeth in films!
Cate B is my alltime favorite!
Havent seen “Anonymous”, but it lookes interesting!
