(72,300 posts)A born rascal who can be as sophisticated as a prince, your Classic Celebrity From Yesteryear is Douglas Fairbanks! You're a born performer, as comfortable in front of a crowd as behind closed doors. You're an open book. You may not adapt to new situations easily, but you've been trained to be the best. A risk-taker, you'll do anything to get the shot right.

(63,221 posts)Which is funny because that is who my parents used to call me as a child because I would get very dramatic about things that I didn't want to do (or did want to do). I never knew who she was until I looked her up. I guess I was a bit of a drama queen.

A born performer (and animal lover), you'd sacrifice it all for what you believe in. Unafraid of the spotlight, you're an extrovert who loves people. Making others smile is what gives you joy. A pioneer in your field, you don't consider yourself one thing. Your interests range wide.

I have no idea why... other than animal lover (and I dont remember any questions about animals), I have nothing in common with her. I thought I would get Greta Garbo! LOL

Fearless, ambitious, and obsessive, your Classic Celebrity From Yesteryear is Howard Hughes! You were born into wealth but developed a tireless work ethic anyway. You dream huge and want to soar higher than anyone ever has. You can be obsessive and flirtatious, but there's greatness in you.

I think because I checked obsessive in this question
Describe yourself:
Ambitious
flirtatious
obsessive
sophisticated
Mistreated
Risk-taker
However, I see Howard Hughes as a risk taker who eventually developed OCD (Some feel that his OCD was actually a physical reaction to complex regional pain after a plain crash - like not wanting to cut his nails because they hurt) In order to accomplish what he did with aviation he had to be ambitious risk-taker with obsessive tendencies. (That's just life and is true for Edison, Tesla, Einstein etc)
I'm just more obsessive and it tends to hamper risk-taking.
On edit: Took quiz again and only changed my college from Texas A&M to Colorado and I got Clara Bow.
(Really???)

It sort of fits, actually.
