- Gary James Bond was an English actor and singer, born in Liss, Hampshire. Although his family were in industrial and military occupations, from an early age he wanted to be an actor. His father's death in December 1955 freed him to make his own decisions and, following schooling at Churcher's College, Petersfield, he won a scholarship to the Central School of Speech and Drama.
He made his professional stage debut in 1962, in 'Not By The Book' at the Connaught Theatre, Worthing, and his television debut the following year in ITV Play of the Week" War and Peace (1963) . This was quickly followed by his film debut as Private Cole in Zulu (1964). During the 1960s he pursued a dual career on the stage and on television, and he made his musical debut in Brian Epstein's revue 'On The Level' in 1966. This gave him a taste for singing but not enough to accept the offer of a recording contract. He would return to the musical stage on several later occasions, notably in 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' in 1972, in which he played Joseph, and in 'Evita' in 1978, where he played Che.
He was also a popular performer for the radio and recorded several titles including 'Lady Windermere's Fan'. 'Trelawny of the Wells', 'A Patriot for Me', and 'Bhowani Junction'. In 1982 he was commissioned to sing Harold Baum's biochemistry lectures to accompany a book on the subject, 'The Biochemist's Songbook', and the following year he became the first guest reader in Josephine Hart's Gallery Poets series, on stage in London.
Gary Bond's greatest film achievement is probably the Australian classic Wake in Fright (1971), in which he played the lead role, that of an arrogant teacher stranded in the wilds of Australia. This film was restored and re-released to great acclaim in 2009. On television he is perhaps best remembered for his role as Lt Clive Russell in Frontier (1968) and for the recording made of his musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1972).
His last television appearance was in 1990 in the Bergerac episode 'All The Sad Songs', and made his last stage appearance in 1994 in 'Aspects of Love', in which he played the aging roué George Dillingham. In October 1995 he died in Ealing Hospital, much mourned by his many friends and admirers. - Actor

Aeone (pronounced ay-own) was born in 1959 in Liss, Hampshire as Vikki Watson. Shortly after her birth the family moved to Emsworth - her family still runs an antique shop in Petworth, Sussex - , where she grew up. As a child she took song and dance lessons, and then went on to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. At first, she wanted to become an opera singer, but soon realized that her voice was more suited to popular music.
Some very early success in the Eurovision Song Contest - winning fourth place in Gothenburg, Sweden performing the 1985 UK entry "Love Is" written with Jimmy Kaleth sent her packing to the United States and full circle returning to her Celtic roots. She did very well in terms of touring, television shows and live work, yet a difficult lifestyle coupled with the commercial direction of the material drove her to emigrate to the United States.
Initially teamed with writer/producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, in 1991 she released an 11-track debut album, entitled Window To A World, that pioneered a blend of Celtic sounding music with a pop feel combining fiddle, banjo and mandolin.
After releasing her debut album, she moved on to scoring for television shows, composing for Witchblade, "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" on Discovery, Santa Barbara and Team: Knight Rider. She also composed for several movie trailers, including The Messenger, John Q, Behind Enemy Lines, The Shipping News, Enough, Life Or Something Like It, Showtime (film), Rat Race, Finding Forrester, Saving Silverman, Lucky Numbers, Lovers Of The Arctic Circle, One Night At McCool's, At First Sight, Down To Earth, Instinct (film) and Disturbing Behavior.
Then, in 1999, she released a special mp3-album, called Aeone (album). Combining numbers from her debut album and several new ones, the album became quite popular on mp3.com. A few months later, her second studio album was released, The Woman's Touch. The album contains a broad range of song styles, each with clear ethereal vocals, at times rising above full ambient grooves. Ballads are offset by strong dance rhythms as well as several highly accessible tunes. After the release, Aeone picked up composing for a while before she started working on her third album. In between she found the time to sing one of the title songs for the TNT miniseries Mists Of Avalon, composing and writing the song I Will Remember You Still. A year later, the third album, Point Of Faith, was released.
Among the more remarkable happenings in her career, Aeone particularly recalls her debut in Zimbabwe, when she sung one song and the band played another, and a television appearance in which she was almost flattened by the American heavy-weight pop singer Meat Loaf.- Harry Mens was born on 29 January 1947 in Lisse, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. He is an actor, known for Sinterklaasjournaal (2001), Sekjoeritie (2010) and RTL Boulevard (2001).
