Edith Falco, called Edie, was born on July 5, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York, to Judith Anderson, an actress, and Frank Falco, a jazz drummer. She is of Italian (father) and Swedish, English, and Cornish (mother) descent. Edie grew up on Long
Island and attended SUNY Purchase, where she was trained in acting at
the prestigious Conservatory of Theatre Arts and Film. She moved to
Manhattan after graduation, auditioning for roles and supporting
herself as best she could; for example, working parties for an
entertainment company where she would wear a Cookie Monster costume and
urge people to get on the dance floor. Falco began getting film roles,
mostly smaller supporting parts, starting in the late 1980s. Her first
notable role was a supporting part in
Bullets Over Broadway (1994).
Ironically, it was in television where the conservatory-trained Falco's
career first flowered. She obtained her first recurring roles in 1993,
on the acclaimed police dramas
Homicide: Life on the Street (1993),
as the wife of a blinded police officer, and
Law & Order (1990) as a Legal Aid
attorney. Next came a recurring role on the prison drama
Oz (1997), as a sympathetic corrections
officer. All the while she continued to work in film, still in small
supporting roles.
Supporting herself in acting continued to be a challenge until at last
Falco found success in 1999, when she was cast in the HBO series
The Sopranos (1999), as Carmela,
the wife of New Jersey Mafia street boss Tony Soprano. "The Sopranos"
gained her a great deal of visibility and praise for her exceptionally
strong dramatic skills. In 2000 Falco became one of the few actresses
in history to sweep all of the major television awards (the Emmy, the
Golden Globe and the SAG Award) in one year for a dramatic role. She is
also the first female actor ever to receive the Television Critics
Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama.
Interestingly, her roles have frequently put her on one side of the law
or the other--a defense attorney, a corrections officer, a cop's wife,
a mobster's wife, a police officer (in a pilot for a television
adaptation of the movie Fargo (1996)). She
has also worked frequently on the stage, such as her award-winning work
in the play "Sideman," in "The Vagina Monologues," and in revivals of
"Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune" (which was hugely
successful) and "'night Mother."
Unlike her brashly assertive alter-ego Carmela Soprano, Falco is
self-described as shy, but is clearly a witty and down-to-earth person.
She sometimes travels with her beloved dog Marley, driving so that the
dog does not have to travel in the baggage compartment. At one point
Falco had a relationship with her "Frankie and Johnny" co-star
Stanley Tucci. She was treated for
breast cancer in 2004 and her prognosis is very good. In December 2004,
Falco adopted a baby boy, whom she named Anderson, after her mother's
surname. Another adoption, of a baby girl named Macy, followed in 2008.- Actor

Warren Oates was an American character actor of the 1960s and 1970s and
early 1980s whose distinctive style and intensity brought him to
offbeat leading roles.
Oates was born in Depoy, a very small Kentucky town. He was the son of
Sarah Alice (Mercer) and Bayless Earle Oates, a general store owner. He
attended high school in Louisville, continuing on to the University of
Louisville and military service with the U.S. Marines.
In college he became interested in the theatre and in 1954 headed for
New York to make his mark as an actor. However, his first real job in
television was, as it had been for
James Dean before him, testing the
contest gags on the game show
Beat the Clock (1950). He did
numerous menial jobs while auditioning, including serving as the
hat-check man at the nightclub "21".
By 1957 he had begun appearing in live dramas such as
Studio One (1948), but Oates'
rural drawl seemed more fitted for the Westerns that were proliferating
on the big screen at the time, so he moved to Hollywood and immediately
stared getting steady work as an increasingly prominent supporting
player, often as either craven or vicious types. With his role as one
of the Hammond brothers in the
Sam Peckinpah masterpiece
Ride the High Country (1962),
Oates found a niche both as an actor and as a colleague of one of the
most distinguished and distinctive directors of the period. Peckinpah
used Oates repeatedly, and Oates, in large part due to the prominence
given him by Peckinpah, became one of those rare character actors whose
name and face is as familiar as those of many leading stars. He began
to play roles which, while still character parts, were also leads,
particularly in cult hits like
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) and
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974).
Although never destined to be a traditional leading man, Oates remained
one of Hollywood's most valued and in-demand character players up until
his sudden death from a heart attack on April 3, 1982 at the age of 53.
His final two films,
Tough Enough (1983) (filmed in early
1981) and Blue Thunder (1983)
(filmed in late 1981), were released over one year after his death and
were dedicated to his memory.- Actor

After 35 years as a professional actor, Louis Herthum had a breakthrough year in 2017, a year that saw him upped to a series regular for season 2 of HBO's critically acclaimed "Westworld." Herthum made a big impact with his memorable turn on "Westworld," as Peter Abernathy, father to Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and one of the first robots to experience programming glitches in the series first season.
Herthum began his acting career in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His first "big break" came in 1991 when he joined the cast of the long-running hit CBS series "Murder, She Wrote," starring as Deputy Andy Broom opposite Angela Lansbury for the show's final five seasons.
His recurring television roles include his portrayal of Omar in Netflix's "Longmire," and werewolf pack leader JD in season 5 of HBO's supernatural drama "True Blood." Herthum has appeared in over 40 stage productions, dozens of commercials and combined over 100 films and TV shows.

Character actor Milburn Stone, the beloved "Doc Adams" on TV's
long-running western classic Gunsmoke (1955), was born in Kansas on July 5,
1904. Acting must have been in his blood as the nephew of Broadway
comedian Fred Stone for Milburn left home as a teenager to find work with
touring repertory troupes. Emulating his famous uncle Fred, he appeared
in vaudeville as part of a song-and-dance team called "Stone and
Strain."
Following a minor appearance on Broadway in "The Jayhawkers,"
Milburn moved to Los Angeles in 1935 to try his luck in films. He
toiled for years in mostly unbilled parts for 'poverty row' Monogram
Pictures and a few major studios, apprenticing in a number of background roles as both benign
fellows (clerks, reporters, sailors, detectives) and bad guys
(convicts, robbers, henchmen) in such films as Ladies Crave Excitement (1935), The Fighting Marines (1935), The Princess Comes Across (1936), Banjo on My Knee (1936) and They Gave Him a Gun (1937)
Out of the blue he would occasionally nab a heroic film lead in films as the crime drama Federal Bullets (1937) and The Judge (1949) or serial thrillers as The Great Alaskan Mystery (1944) and The Master Key (1945), then would invariably go right back to unbilled status in his very
next role. One memorable featured part (which was also unbilled) was as
debater Stephen A. Douglass in John Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln (1939). In addition he played
a regular support role as pal/co-pilot "Skeeter Milligan" in the "Tommy Tailspin" airborne film quickies Mystery Plane (1939), Sky Patrol (1939) and Danger Flight (1939).
Other higher visible support roles occurred in such films as the Roy Rogers western Colorado (1940), as well as Captive Wild Woman (1943), The Frozen Ghost (1945), Roadblock (1951), Black Tuesday (1954), Smoke Signal (1955). He also went on to appear in a couple of John Ford's later features such as Simone Bär and The Long Gray Line (1955).
When the crusty but lovable role of "Doc Adams" finally landed at his feet in 1955, Milburn was only too appreciative to experience a steady paycheck. He became an "overnight" star and, along with Matt Dillon's James Arness, earned an Emmy Award for "supporting actor" and stayed a citizen of Dodge City throughout its entire 20-year run (500 episodes). In 1971, Stone was temporarily sidelined by a heart attack and briefly replaced by another "doc" played by Pat Hingle. The ever-durable Stone missed only seven episodes, however, and did return on a more limited basis.
Fully retired to his ranch in 1975 after the show's
cancellation, he was eventually awarded an honorary doctorate from St.
Mary of the Plains College in (of course) Dodge City, Kansas. Married
to Jane Garrison, the 75-year-old veteran died of a heart attack on
June 12, 1980 in La Jolla, California. His wife passed away much later in
2002.- Kevin Miles is an actor, known for S.W.A.T (2017), Criminal Minds (2019) and Innocent (2010). He is also known as Jake, from State Farm.

Ron Moore was a member of the Kappa Alpha literary society during his
time at Cornell University. He dropped out of college during his senior
year, after which he moved to Los Angeles, California, with a friend in
hopes of becoming a working writer. He was two weeks away from joining
the United States Navy when
Michael Piller, the co-executive producer
of
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987),
called with good news: his first script, "The Bonding," led to an
assignment and a spot on the writing staff in 1989. By the end of the
series, he was serving as a producer.
The end of TNG saw numerous accolades come Mr. Moore's way. As a member
of the production team, he earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding
Drama Series and, along with writing partner
Brannon Braga, a Hugo Award for Best
Dramatic Presentation for "All Good Things...," the series finale. They
would go on to earn Hugo nominations for the first two TNG films,
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
and
Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
They also collaborated on the story for
Mission: Impossible II (2000).
The end of TNG saw Mr. Moore assume the role of supervising producer on
Rick Berman and
Michael Piller's character-driven "Trek"
spin-off,
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).
He began by writing the 3rd-season premiere, "The Search, Part I,"
which saw the introduction of the U.S.S. "Defiant." He had originally
intended to name Captain Sisko's starship "Valiant" after the ship
mentioned in the second
Star Trek (1966) pilot episode,
which was titled "Where No Man Has Gone Before," but because
Star Trek: Voyager (1995)
was about to premiere, he changed it to "Defiant" in honor of the ship
from "The Tholian Web."
As two of the most ardent Star Trek fans on DS9's writing staff, Mr.
Moore and 'René Echevarria' were chosen to write the teleplay for
"Trials and Tribble-ations" - DS9's tribute to TOS's 30th Anniversary.
Besides bringing Captain Kirk and Captain Sisko together on-screen via
some seamless Emmy-nominated visual effects, the episode also brought
the pair a Hugo nomination. They would go on to write the series
penultimate episode, "The Dogs of War," which introduced the new
"Defiant," formerly the U.S.S. "Sao Paulo." The name of the ship and
Sisko's line "Hello, ship" were a tribute to the
Steve McQueen film
The Sand Pebbles (1966). By
the time DS9 ended, he was a co-executive producer and ready to move on
to his third "Star Trek" series.
After a 2-episode stint as a co-executive producer on "Voyager," Mr.
Moore said goodbye to the franchise. His first job after "Star Trek"
was as a consulting producer on the final season of the Sci-Fi
Channel's fantasy series
Good vs Evil (1999). Eventually, he made his
way to Jason Katims's teen SF-Drama series
Roswell (1999). He joined TNG's
Jonathan Frakes as a co-executive

Susannah Doyle (born 5 July 1966) is an English actress, playwright and film director, best known for her roles as Joy Merryweather in Drop The Dead Donkey and as Avril Burke in Ballykissangel.
The daughter of the Irish actor Tony Doyle, she realized that she wished to follow in his footsteps when, aged about five or six, she was taken to see him work, often in tiny theaters with audience and actors close together. She trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
Her big TV break came in 1991 with the role of Joy, the intelligent, acid-tongued secretary and foil to her corporate-speak boss, in the Channel 4 comedy Drop The Dead Donkey. Other TV roles followed, including two episodes of Soldier, Soldier in 1996 and A Touch of Frost in 1997. When her father died in 2000, the producers of Ballykissangel asked whether she would join the cast. She had reservations over her ability to cope emotionally but took on the part of Avril Burke. In 2001, she also appeared in an episode of Cold Feet and one of Pie in the Sky. In 2012 she appeared in an episode of Lewis. In 2012 she appeared in an episode of police comedy Vexed.
Since 2001, she has been pursuing parallel careers of script-writing and acting.
In 2016, she appeared in "Shut Up and Dance", an episode of the anthology series Black Mirror.- Studied law at Jesus College, Oxford, but became president of OUDS by
his final year, when he played the lead in "Richard III" to wide
critical acclaim. Subsequently joined the Old Vic, where among other
roles he played "the Dauphin" to
Richard Burton's "Henry V". Left
the Old Vic under less than happy circumstances and had even less luck
with the Royal Court. Spent some time in France, where he briefly
considered remaining, but returned to the UK and spent some seven years
working in television and low-paying quickie films. In 1966, played one
of the leads in Tom Stoppard's teleplay
Teeth (1967)
-- an instant artistic rapport was the result, as was a second Stoppard
role in
Another Moon Called Earth (1967),
a sort of proto-Jumpers. Critical and commercial break came with the
role of "Guil" in the NYC run of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead,
for which he received a Tony nomination. Back in the UK, won Most
Promising Actor award in 1970 for his role in the
Harold Pinter production of
James Joyce's "Exiles". Invited to
join the RSC, he began a series of highly individual Shakespearean
roles, as well as more popularly-based efforts. His "Sherlock Holmes"
in 1974 was reprised in NYC, resulting in a second Tony nomination. The
following year, the New York run of Stoppard's "Travesties" -- in which
he starred as "Henry Carr" -- gave him the Tony for Best Actor.
Additional theatre work in America: "Tartuffe", "Deathtrap" and
"Amadeus". UK theatre work included "Devil's Disciple", "Every Good Boy
Deserves Favour", "Undiscovered Country", "Man Who Came To Dinner",
title role in "Richard III", "Prospero" in "Tempest", "Lear" in "King
Lear" and, of course, "A.E. Housman" in Stoppard's "Invention of Love"

This relatively obscure, sweet-faced "B" level ingénue of the post-war
40s and 50s was born Beverly Jean Saul of modest beginnings in
Scranton, Pennsylvania, on July 5, 1927. Her mother was a secretary who
secured piano and music lessons for her young daughter. Her father was
employed with a typewriter company. As a teenager Beverly made her
singing debut on radio. Moving to Hollywood with her mother, she was
groomed by MGM at the ripe old age of 14 and made her first picture
with a bit part in
The Youngest Profession (1943)
using her real name. She was given the more attractive marquee name of
"Beverly Tyler" before the ink had barely dried on her contract. Her
career showed some signs of improvement after appearing opposite
Tom Drake in
The Green Years (1946) and
Peter Lawford in the lightweight comedy
My Brother Talks to Horses (1947),
but then she was forced to wait out a lull.
Strangely enough, other than for a brief singing bit in
Best Foot Forward (1943),
Beverly was never promoted in musicals by MGM, or any other studio for
that matter -- although she did test once for the
Kathryn Grayson part in
That Midnight Kiss (1949)
starring Mario Lanza. She did, however,
appear in the short-lived Kurt Weill musical
"The Firebrand of Florence" on Broadway in 1945, and performed in the
musical "Miss Liberty" in Los Angeles in 1950. Beverly also sang on TV
on such variety shows as "Cavalcade of Stars" and "Shower of Stars."
She returned to the camera after a three-year absence in 1950 with
Mickey Rooney in
The Fireball (1950), and in
another horse film,
The Palomino (1950). Most of the
roles offered had her playing an altruistic love interest amid rugged
surroundings in such western adventures as
The Battle at Apache Pass (1952)
and The Cimarron Kid (1952).
She made only a handful of films over the course of her career, which
effectively ended once
Voodoo Island (1957) and
Hong Kong Confidential (1958)
were in the can. A serviceable co-star, little attempt was made by the
Hollywood powers-that-be to effectively challenge her multiple talents.
Although she dated the likes of
Tom Drake,
Peter Lawford,
Audie Murphy,
Mickey Rooney and
Rory Calhoun, this lovely sparrow
did not settle down in marriage until 1962 when she wed comedy
writer/director Jim Jordan, Jr. ("The Colgate Comedy Hour"), who was
the son of the famous "Fibber McGee & Molly" radio couple. Beverly
instantly retired from the business and together the couple produced a
son. The only performing she has done over the years was to appear in a
few local theater productions in Reno, Nevada, having moved there in
1972. Her husband later became a developer. Beverly died at age 78 of a
pulmonary embolism on November 23, 2005, and was survived by her son,
James W. Jordan, and three step-daughters.- Actor
