Widen both the clues to 40%, and take a look at who played Cindy Lou Who in "The Grinch".

I am sure this is a stupid question, but how do I do that--I actually wanted it that way, but couldn't figure out how to do that as the column width percentages were pre-set? And I will add your suggestion. Thanks!

@RachWho - Good quiz. On the style page, slide the yellow buttons (squares) on the column bar to adjust the widths and then save.

Thanks for the help! And the props! @alsanali: I considered Drew Barrymore but since I was going for less well-known early roles, I thought her gig in ET was too high profile. At least that's how I first knew her, being a child of the 80's.

Looks great, RachWho. If you're looking for more suggestions, Summer Hathaway in School of Rock. And Patrick Kelly in Grace Under Fire (accept either answer by entering "/" between choices).

Absolutely, I would love more suggestions. I felt like it was a little too girl heavy, so I would love some suggestions of males, in particular.

Good quiz. You should change the plural of 'celebrity' to 'celebrities' in the answer counter.

good quiz! I just missed a bunch because there are lots of hard to spell last names here. Or maybe that's just me...

Laurence Fishburne was cowboy curtis on pee wee's playhouse. Sean Murray, the actor who plays Mcgee on NCIS was Thackery Binx in Hocus Pocus.

Great quiz. I'm not sure Laurence Fishburne belongs here. He was 25 when he started on Pee Wee's Playhouse.

You could add Neil Patrick Harris as Doogie Howser...but that might be too well-known

i spent 3 minutes respelling "Neil Patrick Harris" and "Jason Segel" for the How I Met Your Mother hint.

really fun idea, but I think it's way too easy. I think you could be a lot more broad with you "Now" clues - maybe dont include the song names in the musicians ones, and dont say "star of" or "lead singer of" ...just list what theyre in. Just a suggestion if you wanted to make it more challenging.

I am pretty sure that the character in Juno name is Mark Loring instead of Mark Long. Just a small detail but otherwise very good.

Please accept Alanis for Alanis Morissette -- she was a pop star (in Canada, at least) under her first name before she broke through in the U.S. and the world under her full name...

probably cause you didn't spell it right, Luna. I admit I had to cheat and google it to get the right spelling.

IDK about anyone else but I recognized Hayden Panettiere more from Remember the Titans, where she played Coach Yoast's daughter
