Alan Rock's Trivia Questions

Q: American actor, Gene Hackman was born this day, 1930. Can you name the 1971 movie for which he won his first "Best Actor" Oscar?
A: A French Connection.

Q: On January 30th, 1933, "The Lone Ranger" debuted live on WXYZ Radio in what city?
A: Detroit. That was back before disc jockeys- so I guess they had to hire somebody else to clean up after the horses. On that first program, Tonto's horse was named White Feller. The program ran for 2,956 episodes, and ended in 1955.
