- Attractive, dark-featured character actor with a voice like thunder, and eyes like a wolf, who was featured in less than sympathetic roles throughout his career. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Albert Paul Shenar attended the University of Wisconsin. Soon after graduation, he relocated to New York City, where he quickly landed roles on the stage. These experiences led to a Broadway debut in 'Tiny Alice' as 'Brother Julian.' After a few satiating years on and off Broadway, Paul found himself again relocating, this time to Philadelphia. It was here where he made a considerable contribution to the arts. Along with fellow actors Rene Auberjonois and Bill Ball, to name a few, he co-founded the American Conservatory Theater, where he was not only a regular performer until the day he died, but a teacher and advisor as well. From there, roles on television, and the big screen followed. Shenar made a splash, portraying Orson Welles in The Night That Panicked America (1975). He received some of the best reviews of his career for this famous television film. Soon after he received more for his portrayal of another famous celebrity, as Florenz Ziegfeld in Ziegfeld: The Man and His Women (1978). He continued working steadily on television, even appearing in shot-for-television replacement footage for the disaster film, Two-Minute Warning (1976). And then feature films came calling. Shenar turned in credible and memorable performances in film, such as the diabolical Bolivian drug lord Alejandro Sosa, in Brian De Palma's Scarface (1983) (1983), and most notably, voicing the evil conspiring rat, "Jenner", in Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH (1982). Other roles of note include Dr. Lawrence in Luc Besson's The Big Blue (1988), Joshua Adams in Deadly Force (1983), Paulo Rocca in the action packed Arnold Schwarzenegger film, Raw Deal (1986), and Ben Gardner, the father of a troubled Kristy McNichol, in Alan J. Pakula's Dream Lover (1986), respectively. Though not a household name in his time, his candor, energy, and aesthetic performances have left a long lasting impression, that only gets better with age, and will not soon be forgotten.
- Gladys Lillian Johnson was born in North Dakota in 1899, and grew up in Portland, Oregon where she received musical training. During the 1920's she became one of Portland's best know cellists and a staff musician at radio station KGW. In 1920 she traveled to Alaska with her mother and younger brother Raymond. They were accompanied by George Edward Lewis, her future step-father. There, she acted in a low budget feature called "Hearts of Alaska" which was made by Lewis who had previously traveled to Alaska to film material for his lectures. Using the screen name Gladys Johnston, she appeared in the first major motion picture filmed entirely in Alaska, The Cheechakos (1923) and returned to Alaska the following year for the film North of Nome (1925). In 1928, she traveled to Utah to make another movie which was released as West of the Rockies (1931). Her brother, Raymond K Johnson, and George Edward Lewis were involved in all three productions. In the late nineteen twenties, she left Portland and continued her career as a professional cellist in Los Angeles. Gladys passed away on October 11, 1989 in Riverside, California.
