She is an actress, known for The Motorcycle Diaries (2004), Garage Olimpo (1999) and El viento (2005).- Ashley is most frequently recognized from her roles in two blockbuster feature films - Get Out and The Blind Side. As the lascivious Lisa Deets in Jordan Peele's Get Out, we see her opposite Daniel Kaluuya asking, "Is it true...is it better?...", as she gropes his bicep. In The Blind Side Ashley plays a considerably more conservative character as one of the ladies-who-lunch opposite Sandra Bullock - who asks, "Is this some sort of white guilt thing?"
Other recurring Guest Star roles in TV series include: the socialite, country-club wife C.C. Carroll in David Hudgins's Game of Silence (NBC); small-town convenience store manager Wynn Lovaas in Ray McKinnon's Rectify (Sundance Channel); and hard-hitting New York journalist Dianna Winchel in Tyler Perry's long-running series The Haves and the Have Nots (OWN).
Not always portraying grounded characters, Ashley rounds out her resume with some quirky, comedic characters. In Scary Movie 5 we can see her opposite Heather Locklear as a prima donna plotting her murder in the wings of a production of Swan Lake. BET's Let's Stay Together highlights Ashley's character in heels, silk negligee, and feather boa - flirting with Ronreaco Lee and Bert Belasco while admiring her elderly neighbor in his "tightie-whities". Finally - Michael Wesley Bay's award-winning mockumentary Rabbit Hunt remains Ashley's favorite comedy experience as a clueless - but lovable - art dealer.
Many TV viewers still remember Ashley from the national Restasis commercial as the woman with chronic-dry-eye whose "Thanks, Restasis" launched a thousand prescriptions.

A mining engineer's daughter, blond, blue-eyed Betty Compson began in show business playing the violin in a Salt Lake City vaudeville establishment for $15 a week. Following that, she went on tour, accompanied by her mother, with an act called 'The Vagabond Violinist'. Aged eighteen, she appeared on the Alexander Pantages Theatre Circuit, again doing her violin solo vaudeville routine, and was spotted there by comedy producer Al Christie. Christie quickly changed her stage name from Eleanor to Betty. For the next few years, she turned out a steady stream of one-reel and two-reel slapstick comedies, frequently paired with Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle.
In 1919, Betty was signed by writer-director George Loane Tucker to co-star opposite Lon Chaney as Rose in The Miracle Man (1919). The film was a huge critical and financial success and established Betty Compson as a major star at Paramount (under contract from 1921 to 1925). One of the more highly paid performers of the silent screen, her weekly earnings exceeded $5000 a week at the peak of her career. She came to own a fleet of luxury limousines and was able to move from a bungalow in the hills overlooking Hollywood to an expensive mansion on Hollywood Boulevard. From 1921, Betty also owned her own production company. She went on to make several films in England between 1923 and 1924 for the director Graham Cutts.
During the late 1920's, Betty appeared in a variety of dramatic and comedic roles. She received good reviews acting opposite George Bancroft as a waterfront prostitute in The Docks of New York (1928), and was even nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of a carnival girl in The Barker (1928). She gave a touching performance in The Great Gabbo (1929), directed by her then husband James Cruze, as the assistant of a demented ventriloquist (Erich von Stroheim), with whom she is unhappily in love. That same year, she appeared in RKO's first sound film, Street Girl (1929), and was briefly under contract to that studio, cast in so-called 'women's pictures' such as The Lady Refuses (1931) and Three Who Loved (1931).
The stature of her roles began to diminish from the mid 1930s, though she continued to act in character parts until 1948.
Betty's personal fortunes also declined. This came about primarily as a result of her marital contract to the alcoholic Cruze, whom she had divorced in 1929. For several years, Cruze had failed to pay his income tax and Betty (linked financially to Cruze) ended up being sued by the federal government to the tune of $150,000. This forced her to sell her Hollywood villa, her cars and her antiques.
In later years, Betty Compson developed her own cosmetics label and ran a business in California producing personalized ashtrays for the hospitality industry.- Bianca Balti was born in Lodi on March 19, 1984. She is an Italian actress and top model. She made her film debut in Go Go Tales (2007) directed by Abel Ferrara. Famous for Ferro (2020). She has two daughters.

Actor and musician Bruce Willis is well known for playing wisecracking or hard-edged characters, often in spectacular action films. Collectively, he has appeared in films that have grossed in excess of $2.5 billion USD.
Walter Bruce Willis was born on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany, to a German mother, Marlene Kassel, and an American father, David Andrew Willis (from Carneys Point, New Jersey), who were then living on a United States military base. His family moved to the U.S. shortly after he was born, and he was raised in Penns Grove, New Jersey, where his mother worked at a bank and his father was a welder and factory worker. Willis picked up an interest for the dramatic arts in high school, and was allegedly "discovered" whilst working in a café in New York City and then appeared in a couple of off-Broadway productions. While bartending one night, he was seen by a casting director who liked his personality and needed a bartender for a small movie role.
After countless auditions, Willis contributed minor film appearances, usually uncredited, before landing the role of private eye "David Addison" alongside sultry Cybill Shepherd in the hit romantic comedy television series Moonlighting (1985). His sarcastic and wisecracking P.I. is seen by some as a dry run for the role of hard-boiled NYC detective "John McClane" in the monster hit Die Hard (1988), in which Willis' character single-handedly battled a gang of ruthless international thieves in a Los Angeles skyscraper. He reprised the role of McClane in the sequel, Die Hard 2 (1990), set at a snowbound Washington's Dulles International Airport as a group of renegade Special Forces soldiers seek to repatriate a corrupt South American general. Excellent box office returns demanded a further sequel Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), this time co-starring Samuel L. Jackson as a cynical Harlem shop owner unwittingly thrust into assisting McClane during a terrorist bombing campaign on a sweltering day in New York.
Willis found time out from all the action mayhem to provide the voice of "Mikey" the baby in the very popular family comedies Look Who's Talking (1989), and its sequel Look Who's Talking Too (1990) also starring John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. Over the next decade, Willis starred in some very successful films, some very offbeat films and some unfortunate box office flops. The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) and Hudson Hawk (1991) were both large scale financial disasters that were savaged by the critics, and both are arguably best left off the CVs of all the actors involved, however Willis was still popular with movie audiences and selling plenty of theatre tickets with the hyper-violent The Last Boy Scout (1991), the darkly humored Death Becomes Her (1992) and the mediocre police thriller Striking Distance (1993).
During the 1990s, Willis also appeared in several independent and low budget productions that won him new fans and praise from the critics for his intriguing performances working with some very diverse film directors. He appeared in the oddly appealing North (1994), as a cagey prizefighter in the Quentin Tarantino directed mega-hit Pulp Fiction (1994), the Terry Gilliam directed apocalyptic thriller 12 Monkeys (1995), the Luc Besson directed sci-fi opus The Fifth Element (1997) and the M. Night Shyamalan directed spine-tingling epic The Sixth Sense (1999).
Willis next starred in the gangster comedy The Whole Nine Yards (2000), worked again with "hot" director M. Night Shyamalan in the less than gripping Unbreakable (2000), and in two military dramas, Hart's War (2002) and Tears of the Sun (2003) that both failed to really fire with movie audiences or critics alike. However, Willis bounced back into the spotlight in the critically applauded Frank Miller graphic novel turned movie Sin City (2005), the voice of "RJ" the scheming raccoon in the animated hit Over the Hedge (2006) and "Die Hard" fans rejoiced to see "John McClane" return to the big screen in the high tech Live Free or Die Hard (2007) aka "Die Hard 4.0".
Willis was married to actress Demi Moore for approximately thirteen years and they share custody to their three daughters.- Producer

A former actor, Canadian-born Burt Metcalfe was employed as a casting director for Universal Television when he was recruited by Gene Reynolds. His job was to assemble the cast for the pilot episode of M*A*S*H (1972). To sweeten the deal, he was given the title of associate producer. Metcalfe accepted the challenge and went on to play an integral part in putting together that gifted ensemble of actors, as well as in determining the overall tone of the series. Larry Gelbart, Reynolds and Metcalfe went to considerable lengths to undertake background research on both medical and military aspects. This was done via phone interviews with literally hundreds of doctors, some of whom had served in Korea and were able to provide a valuable insight. Ultimately, the intention was to make a social statement within the framework of a black comedy: "We've capitalized more, over the years, on that mix of comedy and drama.... to a very worthwhile effect. We are able to weave grim, somber threads into funny things, concurrently". After Reynolds moved on to Lou Grant (1977), Metcalfe rose to executive producer and remained with M*A*S*H for the remainder of its entire run, in addition to directing thirty-one episodes of the hit series. In due course, he received thirteen (shared) Prime Time Emmy Award nominations. Metcalfe later proceeded to work as executive producer and director on the sequel AfterMASH (1983). In 1986, he joined the now-defunct MTM Enterprises in the same capacity.
Metcalfe moved to Los Angeles from Montreal in 1949. He received a degree in theatre studies from UCLA in 1949 and made his screen acting debut in Mark Robson's The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954). Following military service in the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 1957, Metcalfe had several small roles on television, notably as one of the frightened residents in the The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (1960). He appeared in recurring roles as a newlywed (son-in-law to Leon Ames and Ruth Warrick) in Father of the Bride (1961) and as an Air Force Colonel in 12 O'Clock High (1964). In 1965, he joined Screen Gems as a casting director and then executive assistant. From 1979 until his death in July 2022, Metcalfe was married to the actress Jan Jorden who had played Nurse Baker in nine episodes of M*A*S*H .- Makes her feature film debut in Damsels in Distress. Previously, she made guest appearances on Gossip Girl, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and The Guiding Light. Originally from Mississippi, and later, Alabama, MacLemore has studied acting at New York's T. Schreiber Studio with Peter Miner, the Endeavor Studio, Upright Citizens Brigade, and at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
