While I had no problem remembering the other famous Redgrave sister, I think Lynn was just as famous as Vanessa.

I think Lynn garnered more fame in the United States. I think that's why more quiz takers remember her better.

Never heard of 5 of them and couldnt think of Wanda Sykes. I think Vanessa Redgrave is definitely the more well known of the two sisters.

After hearing she's from big bang theory, I'm glad I have no idea who she is. I grew up watching Popular Mechanics for Kids with Elisha Cuthbert so that was a no brainer :)

I tried like 6 different spellings of Kaley, and never got it.

Same. I finally looked it up cause I was getting worried that I was going crazy and it wasn't Kaley/Kaelie/Kaylie/Kayley after all.

I wasn't sure what her name was, but for some reason, I thought Alicia sounded right. So I tried Alicia, Alisa, Alisha, Alyssa, Alice, Elise, and a few more, but never got Elisha

I really think you should accept alternate spellings of Kaley and Hilary. I've never noticed that Swank only puts one L in her first name, and that Kaley doesn't have an I.

Got them all except for Edie Falco and Kaley Cuoco, who I've never even heard about. American TV people, I'm guessing?

Edie Falco is from The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie, while Kaley Cuoco is from The Big Bang Theory.

Another vote for Lynn Redgrave. I put her in first too, before switching to Vanessa. She was a marvelous actress, multiple Oscar nominations, and fantastic on Stage. Seeing her doing Shakespeare was one of my all time theatrical experiences.

2 years later and I remember her name wasn't Kelly. But I tried Kayleigh, and Kaylie, and Kailie, and maybe a couple other things before giving up assuming I had forgotten her name again.
