Aaron Spelling (1923-2006) Bonus Box

Name TV's orginal Charlie's Angels.

When the first season of Dynasty wrapped, the character of Alexis had not yet been cast, so a friend of the producers appeared on screen in a dark hat and glasses. Which legendary actress was hired to play the mystery woman?

Joan Collins

Sophia Loren

Elizabeth Taylor

Raquel Welch

Spelling's daughter Tori (left) was cast in his high school melodrama Beverly Hills 90210. Now, she has her own television series. Who does she play?

True or false: The character of Matt Fielding on Melrose Place was the first openly gay character on a prime-time American soap.

When Spelling officially hit it big, he bought this famous crooner's estate and then leveled it to make room for his $12-million version of a French chateau.

How did you do?

Above 90: Your subscriptions to Entertainment Weekly, Premiere, Rolling Stone and People have paid off. You religiously read our 2B entertainment roundup every day. Give yourself a pat on the back. And next year, we might be asking you to help us write the questions.

60 to 90: We know you tried the hardest; and so many of the correct answers were on the tip of your tongue. Our advice: Spend more time watching E! and prime-time TV and take fewer bathroom breaks in the middle of the show.

25 to 59: Well, you could have done worse, but not much worse. You're prone to spending too much time at the beach or by the pool and not much time at the cinema. You also really, really want to buy a gossip mag in the checkout line at the grocery store, but talk yourself out of it every time.

Below 25: Better luck next year!
