Adam levine? Nope. Googled him, never heard of him. Ditto George Lopez.

Surprisingly not heard of Gavin Newsom either. Normally we would hear mention of Govenors of big US States in the news over here (UK), but I haven't heard of him at all.

He just started as governor so he'll probably become more well-know over time.

Sorry Newsom is not famous he is a governor that's it. If anything put Arnold Schwarzenegger there instead he's more famous then Newsom

Consider yourself lucky not to know who Newsom is and don't waste brain cells trying to learn about him. The entire state is burning, electricity is being turned off and at least one person is dead because of it, medieval diseases are spreading, you get fined for not picking up your dog poop but human feces is all over the streets in major cities and illegal immigrants are being given more rights than citizens. There are TWO recall measures against him that were approved. The last governor to face recall only had one effort against him (and he lost). He is the worst governor in California history and I'm so glad I escaped that hell hole before he was elected. I was born and raised in California but completely disgusted by how it has been destroyed in the last 20 years of democrat control.

Surely these problems can't be Newsom's fault. He has been in office for less than a year.

In my opinion, California is still a pretty good place to live (if you can afford it). But it's getting worse. There was a time when it was the best place to live in the entire world.

of course it's Newsom's fault. He failed to distribute enough rakes to the forestfolk of California.

@jacktheguy no I thought it too, same squinty eyes and expression with the mouth (of disdain/contempt/arrogance)

I hand to you, Florida, which is under REPUBLICAN control. Cali is much better under Democrat control.

Newsom was the only one I had no idea about, though at first glance I thought Lopez was Cesar Milan.

This is the most random assortment of people you could've picked for this quiz. Then again, there's so many people since it's California.

* FACEPALM * "That looks like Gen. Patton...which actor played him in a movie?" I also thought the fifth picture was Salma Hayek. Not my day today...

Should not “Black” be accepted for Shirley Temple? She had a longer career as a diplomat under than she did as an actress.

Why would anyone need "Black" to be accepted other than for the sake of pedantry? If you know that her married name is Black, then you know it's Shirley Temple. If you know who it is, you can type "Temple" in. Silly.

That newsome guy reminded me of an actor, cant think of who exactly though, Im bad at connecting faces with names (or dont care enough). Mcconaughey perhaps?

Looks more like Scott whatshisname (the father of the oldest Kardashian girl's children). Also, I associate Liza Minnelli with New York, not California.

McConaughey is from Uvalde, TX, where over a year after your post, a gunman shot up a school and killed over 20 kids.

Apparently, Shirley Temple (Black)'s bright eyes are very memorable. I kept telling myself: I know I've seen those eyes before. I guess they didn't change much after she grew up.

You might want to accept "Black" for Shirley Temple as well for her name was Shirley Temple Black after marriage

If you know her married name, then you know it's Shirley Temple and you can just type that in.

I don't even care if it's technically correct... I wish Quizmasters would stop giving into these pedantic, hair-splitting comments. There is literally no reason to need to type in "Black" for this question. It's freaking Shirley Temple. I don't even think she would care lol.
