Well if you think someone will get all 10 I probably shouldn’t even bother, but…
1 Dustin Hoffman
2 Cameron Diaz ??? (Something About Mary???)
3 Brad Pitt ???(Henry Gondorff rings a bell but ???)
4 Paul Giamatti
5 Faye Dunaway
6 Forrest Whittaker
7 Beyonce
8 John Wayne
9 Cate Blanchette (I think she played Hepburn)
10 John Malkovich ??
Bonus – one of each is a real historical figure.

You should have picked some cross gender roles to confuse folks (like Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan in the biopic about him where about 6 different actors played different versions of him.)

I’ve written this category for no fewer than three trivia nights, so this feels a little like cheating. But since Nick will probably play too, here are my answers.

1. Dustin Hoffman
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Paul Newman
4. Paul Giamati
5. Faye Dunnaway
6. Forrest Whitaker
7. Beyonce
8. Marion Morrison
9. Lenny Kravitz
10. Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Bonus – Well, there are at least one character in each of the ten sets that is based on a real person. If I’m not mistaken though, both Harvey Pekar and Bob Zmuda are real breathing humans, so that may rule that answer out if the ‘one role’ part of your question is accurate.
