I knew that Barbara Pepper had died during Green Acres run and Irene Ryan died of brain cancer (glioblastoma) in 1973 so that left Frances Bavier for question 11. Irene collapsed on stage while appearing in Pippin. They thought she'd had a stroke at first, but was then diagnosed with glioblastoma. She was nominated for a Tony for Best Supporting/Featured Actress in a musical for her work in Pippin

I didn't know a few of them passed, so I had to guess.

Although not his last role, you should check out Don Knotts in Pleasantville (1998), he was outstanding in it.

I try to watch whenever it comes on. The first movie I saw Tobey McGuire in

#9 should have used the word "his" instead of "their." All the choices are single and all were men.

9 out of 12. Missed the first question, as it could've applied to any of them (they all either died or retired around that time), the Hot in Cleveland question (never really followed that show, and I should, considering it's set in my hometown) and the Benji question.
