You're just starting your trivia career.

13/16. Not bad.
Harry Morgan was NOT in "The Kennel Murder Case".
In 1933, he was 18 years old (born 1915).
The actor in "Kennel" was Ralph Morgan, the brother of Frank (Wizard Of Oz) Morgan.
Henry "Harry" Morgan didn't get into movies until the mid '40s.

And before anyone says anything, I'm not mixing up Henry Bratsburg (the Harry Morgan we're talking about here) with Henry Lerner von Ost (the Henry Morgan from I'VE GOT A SECRET).
11/16 it was a tough one and most right answers were guesses lol
Phil Silvers and Paul Winchell probably launched a thousand faces.
You got 5 out of 16... Ouch!
8/16. A very tough quiz.
10 out of 16 pretty tricky test
11 of 16 with half guesses
6 of 16 right, all guesses
11/16. Better than I thought.
Was going to claim that someone goofed, that Carol Burnett was in another show before Paul Winchell's. She played Buddy Hackett's girlfriend on "Stanley", but in checking just now it looks like that aired the year *after* Winchell rather than the year before.
8/16 Never heard of some of those movies.
It was harder than I thought it be. Got 5 correct answers, but hopefully I learned something.
My "You got 6 out of 16" wasn't much better.
Lucy & Henry Morgan got their start on radio
Lucy wasn't on radio until the 1940s. She was a chorus girl in Goldwyn musicals in the 1930s, and costarred with the Three Stooges in "Three Little Pigskins" in 1935.
