About This Quiz

Just imagine pulling out an old photo album to find Katharine Hepburn’s fearless eyes next to Audrey’s soft smile and Meryl Streep’s chameleon-like composure. These faces defined our passion for films and why there’s a word called ‘icon’ for that.

This test takes you on a walk through decades of talent: sultry Lauren Bacall, consistent Susan Sarandon, witty Emily Blunt and radiant Sophia Loren all show up. A peek at a cheekbone or hint of a signature role can get you back to a night in at the movies.

Have a great time trying out your memory. You may find you know more of the female leads than you do—or that you should re-watch a classic or two.
