1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Firelight (1964)?
a.		The writers based this film on the memoirs of Dr. Frederick Treves as well as other true accounts, but avoided the play by Bernard Pomerance. The true name of the Elephant Man was not John Merrick as most believe, but Joseph Carey Merrick. Merrick was born in Leicester, England on August 5, 1862, and died in the Royal London Hospital on April 11, 1890, at the age of 27. When Dr. Treves wrote his memoir, he referred to him as John. His handwritten manuscript reveals that Treves knew that Merricks name was Joseph, and deliberately crossed out Joseph and replaced it with John. Merricks surviving correspondence shows he signed his name as Joseph, and contemporary newspaper articles about his case refer to him by his correct name. Why Treves changed his name to John is unknown.
b.		The name of Roger of Claremore, who Hank says was his ancestor, was an inside joking reference to Will Rogers himself, who was born in Claremore, Oklahoma.
c.		Steven Spielberg premiered this movie at Phoenix Little Theatre (now Phoenix Theatre) in Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 18.
d.		British actor Mark Gilvary played two roles in Lady Magdalenes - an FBI special agent and the Director of al Qaeda - and almost nobody seeing the film has recognized Mark as having played both parts. Gilvary ordinarily speaks in a Scottish accent. In Lady Magdalenes, where he played two roles, all his dialogue was performed either in an American accent or an Arabic accent. After living at the crew hotel for over a month, Gilvary approached a desk clerk hed become friends with in full Arabic costume and make-up, and speaking to her with an Arabic accent. The hotel clerk didnt know who he was until after ten minutes conversation Mark told her.
