Born in Indiana and educated at a Chicago arts school, Jordan first attracted attention and launched a thousand pin-ups when his video for "The Right Kind of Love" aired on Fox's popular teen series Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1992. Though the TV exposure powered his 1993 CD "Try My Love" to gold status, Jordan opted mainly for non-musical performing instead. After appearing in several TV films, including _Boys Will Be Boys (1994) (TV)_ and Twisted Desire (1996), as well as in a bit part in Mike Figgis Oscar- winning drama Leaving Las Vegas (1995), Jordan bolstered his big- screen resume with a role in Gregg Araki's Nowhere (1997). The last film in Araki's "teen apocalypse trilogy", Nowhere enabled Jordan to play off his teen pop star roots as a gay, drug-addicted musician in Los Angeles' youth underground.
Though Jordan continued to hone his indie sensibility with a starring role in the Hollywood satire Dreamers (1999), he also appeared in the hit Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Never Been Kissed (1999) and the TV film Stephen King's Storm of the Century (1999).- Actor

Funk has strong wrestling bloodlines. His dad, Dory Funk Sr., was a well-known grappler from the 1940s to the 1970s, and his brother, Dory Funk Jr., wrestled from 1963 until the early 90s, and won the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) world heavyweight championship in 1969. Funk, himself, became NWA champion and thus the Funks have the distinction of being the only brothers to win the NWA championship. Funk made his film debut as (what else?) a wrestler in Sylvester Stallone's (a noted wrestling fan) movie Paradise Alley (1978). Funk then did double-duty as a pro wrestler and actor/stunt man (he was prominent in Patrick Swayze's movie, Road House (1989)). Not technically a great wrestler, Funk was more known for his brawling tactics, and had some great feuds during his career with "Handsome" Harley Race, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and others. After maintaining a low profile in wrestling, Funk resurfaced in the 90s in the new Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) series and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), this time in his new persona as "Chainsaw Charlie".- Actress

A blue-eyed blonde with a bubbly personality, aptly dubbed 'the Champagne Girl' by studio publicists, she was born Cynthia Robichaux, one of five siblings, in Hammond, Louisiana. Her father was Louis Robichaux. Her mother ran a dancing school in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Cynthia began dancing in public under her mum's tutelage at the age of five, occasionally taking part in entertaining American soldiers who were stationed in the area. During her school years, she switched to acting in amateur dramatics.
At the age of eleven, Cynthia performed on Ken Murray's 'Blackouts' variety show in Los Angeles. At that time, she began to adopt the name 'Cindy Robbins' as her stage moniker. Several years later, the acclaimed character actress Shirley Booth saw potential in her and picked Cynthia for a part in her 1954 Broadway show 'By the Beautiful Sea', set on early 1900s Coney Island. The play was a hit and ran for 270 performances. On the strength of this success, Booth took Cynthia back to California to be cast in the lead role of another play, 'The Vacant Lot', at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. Soon after, Universal-International signed her under contract.
Cynthia made her screen debut as a Native American girl in the early western series Brave Eagle (1955). Credited as Cindy Robbins, she went on to play supporting roles in a few second features, including in I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957), and one A-grader, the big budget melodrama This Earth Is Mine (1959), starring Rock Hudson. The studio publicity machine reinforced her 'champagne girl' image with fanzine articles about Cynthia using champagne as a supplement to shampoo. She was also said to own a champagne-coloured toy poodle named Chu-Chu. In interviews, Cynthia named her favorite activities as being tennis, riding, surfing and skin diving.
For all the hype, Cynthia never progressed beyond the status of starlet. She guest-starred in many TV sitcoms (The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952), Leave It to Beaver (1957), McHale's Navy (1962)), occasional westerns (Wagon Train (1957), Outlaws (1960), The Tall Man (1960)) and crime dramas (Dragnet (1951), Markham (1959), Tightrope (1959), Perry Mason (1957)). Her most popular role was as the star's eldest daughter (Carol Porter) in the comedy series The Tom Ewell Show (1960) (Cynthia, then 23, playing a 15 year-old). The main storyline revolved around a maladroit realtor, struggling to cope with life in a household dominated entirely by females.
Long after her retirement from screen acting, Cynthia penned several teleplays for a TV youth anthology series, for which she also received associate producer credit. She had a daughter (Kimberly Beck) by her first husband William Howard Beck. Her second husband was singer-songwriter Tommy Leonetti , with whom she resided in Sydney, Australia, for many years until his death in 1979. Her third husband (whose surname she adopted in her later credits) was the producer, director and writer Robert Chenault who died in 2009.- Kathleen Burke was born on 5 September 1913 in Hammond, Indiana, USA. She was an actress, known for The Last Outpost (1935), Good Dame (1934) and The Lion Man (1936). She was married to Jose Fernandez, Glen Nelson Rardin and Forrest Lloyd Smith. She died on 9 April 1980 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Charles Bryant Pierce was an independent filmmaker from Arkansas whose movies have become cult classics. Films that he wrote, directed and/or produced were not only made in Arkansas with local actors but also drew their inspiration from Arkansas themes. He is believed to be the source of one of the most famous lines in American film history from the 1983 film 'Sudden Impact': "Go ahead, make my day."
Charles B. Pierce was born in Hammond, IN, on June 16, 1938, the son of Mack McKenny Pierce and Mayven Bryant Pierce. When he was a few months old the family moved to Hampton, Calhoun County, in the south-central part of Arkansas. Living in Hampton, Pierce grew up next door to Harry Thomason, who later became successful as a producer and director of such projects as TV's "Designing Women" (1986).
According to Pierce's family, one of his chores growing up was mowing the lawn. His father came home one day at lunchtime and asked if the boy planned to mow the yard anytime soon, adding, "When I come home tonight and the yard has not been mowed, you're gonna make my day." Later in life, Pierce would use the admonition to great advantage.
In the mid-1960s, Pierce was working as an art director at KTAL-TV in Shreveport, LA, and later became a weatherman and hosted a children's cartoon program at the small independent-owned TV station. Returning to Arkansas, he started an advertising business on State Line Avenue in Texarkana, Miller County, in addition to playing a character called Mayor Chuckles on a local television show.
In 1971, there were local headlines about a Sasquatch-like creature sighted in the wetlands vicinity around the nearby town of Fouke in Miller County. The "Fouke Monster" was reportedly seen in the Boggy Creek area and was suspected of attacking dogs and livestock as well as a local family. In mid 1972, while still working in advertising, Pierce created a semi-documentary film originally titled "Tracking the Fouke Monster"--later renamed 'The Legend of Boggy Creek.' Pierce shot the movie with a 16mm camera he assembled himself at home. Much of the movie was filmed in Fouke and Texarkana with local residents and students as actors and/or crew. Estimates place the cost of making the film at about $165,000. Becoming popular as a drive-in horror feature around the country, it became one of the top ten highest-grossing movies of the year, earning over $20 million.
Earning several hundred thousand dollars in residuals from the film, Pierce used his new found wealth to write and direct several other films, which included the crime comedy-drama Bootleggers (1974), the westerns Winterhawk (1975) and The Winds of Autumn (1976), the true-life horror flick The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976), the western Grayeagle (1977), the viking adventure The Norseman (1978), another true-life thriller The Evictors (1979), the western Sacred Ground (1983), a sequel to "Boggy Creek" titled Boggy Creek II (1985), the violent western Hawken's Breed (1987), the family drama Renfroe's Christmas (1997) and Chasing the Wind (1998). His earlier films in particular were shot in Arkansas and/or featured Arkansas themes and local residents in their production.
After moving to California in the early 1980s to further his career, he became friends with actor/director Clint Eastwood while living in Carmel, where Eastwood was elected mayor in 1986. After sharing a story treatment that Eastwood liked, Pierce became a writer for the fourth in the Dirty Harry series, Sudden Impact (1983), which Eastwood directed. Its most famous line, "Go ahead, make my day," has been ranked in the top ten of the American Film Institute's top movie quotes of all time.
Returning to his own independent;y produced films, Pierce was the star, writer, director and co-producer of The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II, (1985), a sequel to "Boggy Creek" that was eventually re-titled Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1985). The movie also contains footage of a University of Arkansas (UA) Razorback football game in Fayetteville, Washington County), complete with hog-hatted fans.
Pierce acquired the nickname "Sparkplug" due to his energy; he was always thinking about his next project while completing another. Pierce was married to Florence Lyons, a Tennessee native, for ten years and they had three children, one of whom was Charles Pierce Jr. They eventually divorced. Pierce's second wife was Cindy Butler; they also later divorced. While filming "Hawken's Breed" in 1987 with Peter Fonda (I) in the area around Dover, TN, Pierce met his third wife Beth Pulley; they married the following year.
Along with starring and directing Boggy Creek II, Pierce acted in several of his films, in small roles; these included "Bootleggers," "The Winds of Autumn," and "The Town that Dreaded Sundown." Pierce directed a number of noted character actors, such as Slim Pickens (I), Jack Elam, Kathleen Freeman (I), Woody Strode and L.Q. Jones, along with lead actors including Jaclyn Smith (I), Dawn Wells (I), Andrew Prine, Lee Majors (I), Cornel Wilde, Mel Ferrer (I), Vic Morrow, Michael Parks (I) and Academy Award winner Ben Johnson (I).
Suffering from poor health later in life, Charles B. Pierce died on March 5, 2010, at the Signature Care nursing home in Dover, TN, at age 71, where he had been living for the past seven years. He is buried at Stewart Memorial Gardens near his home in Dover. Two years before his death, the frail-looking Pierce attended and was spotlighted by the Little Rock Film Festival in 2008 with a retrospective, received the Arkansas Arts Council's Judges Special Recognition award in 2009, honored annually by the Little Rock Film Festival through the Charles B. Pierce Award for Best Film Made in Arkansas. He was inducted into the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame in 2010.- Actor
