Celebrity Quiz - How Many of Hollywood’s Most Powerful Women Can You Name in This Movie Trivia Quiz?

Last updated 18 Aug 2023 · 18 min play time

Test your knowledge of TV and movie trivia with this fun, challenging quiz all about the most powerful women in Hollywood. From actresses and directors to executive producers and studio heads, women are creating many of today's most exciting, important, and hilarious television shows and films.

Start the quiz

If you think Hollywood's power players are all cigar-chomping old white dudes named Mort or C.B., think again. In the 21st century, women are taking the reins with greater and greater frequency and fighting back against the studio system that has so often diminished them and their contributions.

Their work is far from over, though. Before you show off your film and TV smarts with this lady-led Hollywood quiz, take a quick look at these stats about women in the film industry, compiled by film scholars at San Diego State University:

In 2017, 88 percent of the top 250 movies of the year were directed entirely by men.
Of those movies, 96 percent had a male cinematographer.
How about writing? Sure — 83 percent of those movies were written exclusively by dudes.

Huh. Surely women know how to… hold a pen?

Here's the deal: Since the '90s, women have been gaining ground when it comes to reducing the wage gap (although they're still paid less than men solely by virtue of being women). Colleges now produce more female grads than male. But in Hollywood, particularly behind the scenes, women are still shoved out of the entertainment industry just as much as they were back in the heyday of flannel shirts, Shania Twain, and Chicago Bulls basketball — for now.

In this TV and movie trivia quiz, you'll test your skills when it comes to identifying the women behind your favorite 21st century television shows and films. Your knowledge of actress trivia will come in handy, but you'll also be challenged to name some of the products written, directed, produced, and created by Hollywood's most formidable females. We're talking about directors, showrunners, executive producers, studio presidents, and of course, Oprah. Just like their male counterparts, many of these influential women wear many hats.

If you think you're ready to challenge your skills with 50 TV and movie questions all about the women who tickle your funny bones, tap your tear ducts, and feed your cravings for car chases and explosions, then crack your knuckles, crank up your favorite movie soundtrack, and let's hit it!
