Having made his feature film debut starring in the teen comedy Cavegirl
Daniel Roebuck quickly realized that there was only one direction to
travel in his career. Up!
Soon after Cavegirl, Roebuck established himself as one of the
industry's youngest character actors with his haunting portrayal as the
teenage killer, Samson in The River's Edge.
Daniel Roebuck was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, A fan of
movies and television from a very early age he was immediately drawn to
the actors and comedians. As his obsession with performing grew his
parents unwittingly fomented his future by gifting him with a cardboard
TV on his seventh Christmas.
At the age of 10, he started performing in talent shows doing
impressions of movie stars he loved. He joined a local circus two years
later and made his debut as one of the youngest clowns in the country.
Roebuck's clown act eventually segued into a magic act and he performed
that throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
It was only a matter of time before Roebuck discovered the theater and
from that point he never looked back. Over the next few years while
still in Pennsylvania, Roebuck continued to hone his craft, acting in,
directing, and even writing over 40 plays. He also began performing
stand up comedy.
Now, nearly 30 years later, Roebuck has amassed a substantial resume as
an actor, writer and director. He has moved easily between all mediums
having continued working on television, in movies and on the stage.
His film credits are myriad, having starred in blockbusters like The
Fugitive, US Marshals,and final Destination, as well as popular titles
including Agent Cody Banks and it's sequel, That's What I Am, Money
Talks, Flash Of Genius and so many more.
Lately, Roebuck has enjoyed working in a number of horror movies - his
favorite genre. He has collaborated with filmmaker Rob Zombie on
Halloween, Halloween 2, Devil's Rejects, and Lords of Salem (as well as
a commercial for AMDRO, the insecticide). He also appeared in Don
Coscarelli's cult favorite Bubba Ho Tep as well as the director's
Reggie's Tales and John Dies At The End.
Daniel has also been a familiar face on television for nearly 3
decades, he was a regular for three seasons on the evergreen hit drama,
Matlock, portraying attorney 'Cliff Lewis," the junior partner of the
law firm headed by Andy Griffith's beloved character, 'Ben Matlock.'
Interestingly, his landing the role was the fulfillment of a promise
made several years earlier with his first appearance on "Matlock" in
its inaugural season. At that time, Roebuck was told that Griffith had
been so impressed with his work that he would be back as a regular on
the show. It took five seasons, two more guest shots as different
characters, and a change of networks, but Griffith kept his promise and
Roebuck indeed became a series regular.
He portrayed the irascible Rick Bettina on many episodes of Nash
Bridges and in the fall of 2003 Daniel returned to series television as
Pete Peterson, the gay owner of a local diner in A Minute With Stan
Hooper.
As a television guest star, Daniel has played countless characters.
Some of his most memorable are a cop who literally turns into a pig on
Grimm, a Romulan on Star Trek, Next Generation, a gun toting hostage
taker on NYPD Blue, a cranky studio owner on Sonny With A Chance and a
grieving father on Glee. He played other memorable roles on New
Adventures of Old Christine, NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, CSI, Boston Legal,
CSI Miami, Law And Order, Desperate Housewives and Hot in Cleveland.
On the popular show, Lost, Roebuck portrayed the infamous Dr. Leslie
Arzt, the aggravating science teacher whose explosive exit in the
finale of the first season remains one of television's most surprising
and talked about moments.
He has starred in dozens of TV Movies. Perhaps his most famous turn was
his critically acclaimed portrayal of Jay Leno in The Late Shift. He
stepped into another pair of famous shoes when he played Garry Marshall
in Behind The Camera; Mork and Mindy, The Unauthorized Story. Other
Movies for television include A Family Lost, A Glimpse Of Hell, Murder
At The Presidio, Shredderman Rules, A Borrowed Life, Quints and many
others. Daniel's voice over work includes Christmas Is Here Again (a
film he also produced),The Haunted World Of El Super Beasto and the
groundbreaking video game, L.A. Noire.
The theater remains Roebuck's first love and he has continued that
passion in the Los Angeles area. He appeared in the world premiers of
Sarcophagus and Crooks. He has also starred in No Time For Sergeants,
Here Lies Jeremy Troy, Arsenic and Old Lace and The Man Who Came To
Dinner among others. In 2006 Daniel founded THE Saint Francis Stage
Company.
Behind the camera, Roebuck has produced, written and
directed/co-directed a number of documentaries including Halloween: The
Happy Haunting of America and it's sequel as well as Goolians,
Movieland Memories and a number of documentaries for the Monsterama
series.
Daniel has fulfilled nearly every dream of his childhood like appearing
in Mad Magazine, becoming a toy and a Halloween mask and having his mug
on a few trading cards.
When not performing, Roebuck writes articles about Horror Movies,
raises two children, teaches The Audition is the Job Experience and
mentors young actors.- Actress

Perhaps best remembered for his touching performance as "Bubba"
opposite Tom Hanks in the Academy Award-winning Forrest Gump (1994), Mykelti
Williamson is one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, who has
been steadily honing his craft since he first began acting
professionally at the age of 18.
In 2000 Williamson starred as Lt. Philip Gerard, the hardnosed
detective determined to recapture escaped convict Dr. Richard Kimble
(Tim Daly) in CBS' update of the classic 1960's action series The Fugitive (2000).
The son of an Air Force Staff Sergeant (father) and certified public
accountant (mother), Williamson was born in St. Louis, MO, and began
performing on the stage at the age of 9. Like many youngsters, he was
enamored with the concept of television, and thought that the images he
was seeing on the small screen were reality. It wasn't until his mother
put him in a church play that he realized that what the people on the
small screen were doing was performing. He was instantly hooked. At the
age of 15, Williamson and his family settled in Los Angeles. A superb
athlete, he excelled at both football and basketball, but the acting
bug led him to quit sports and dance with the cheerleading squad, much
to the chagrin of his coaches.
Following graduation, Williamson began acting professionally, making
appearances on television shows such as Starsky and Hutch (1975), Hill Street Blues (1981) and China Beach (1988),
among others. He made his film debut in the Walter Hill-directed feature
Streets of Fire (1984), opposite Diane Lane, Michael Paré and Willem Dafoe.
He would subsequently appear in the feature The First Power (1990) with Lou Diamond Phillips,
Miracle Mile (1988) with Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham, Number One with a Bullet (1987), Wildcats (1986) and Free Willy (1993).
Following his critically acclaimed performance in Forrest Gump (1994), Williamson
starred in Forest Whitaker's Waiting to Exhale (1995); partnered with Al Pacino in Michael Mann's
Heat (1995); Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (1995), and starred alongside Nicolas Cage in Con Air (1997).
Williamson was also seen in Mike Nichols' political drama Primary Colors (1998) (a cameo
appearance which he did as a personal favor to Nichols and John Travolta) and
Three Kings (1999), opposite George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube.
In 1996 Williamson returned to television when he starred opposite
Delroy Lindo and Blair Underwood in the critically acclaimed HBO telefilm Soul of the Game (1996)
and received rave reviews for his stirring portrayal of legendary Negro
League baseball legend Josh Gibson. Williamson also starred in Buffalo Soldiers (1997) for
TNT and 12 Angry Men (1997) for Showtime, as well as starring in the cable
network's series The Hoop Life (1999).
On stage Williamson starred with Samuel L. Jackson, D.B. Sweeney, Ellis Williams, Matt McGrath and
Richard Reilly in Clark Gregg's ("What Lies Beneath") 1995's ensemble drama
"Distant Fires", which earned the cast a prestigious L.A. Theatre
Award.
An avid sports fan and devoted family man, Williamson enjoys restoring
classic cars and rodeoing in his free time. He currently lives in Los
Angeles with his wife and two of his three daughters.
Named by his grandfather for 'Spirit' or 'Silent Friend' in the
language of Blackfeet Indians, Mykelti Williamson has quietly built a
reputation in Hollywood as one of the most consistently proven actors
in the business, delivering stirring and honest performances that
always capture audiences.- Actor

This Queens-born actor has certainly proven himself adept at everything from quirky comedy to flat-out melodrama earning TV stardom in the early 1990's and maintaining a strong foothold on stage, film and TV in its aftermath.
Steven Robert Weber was born on March 4, 1961, to Fran (Frankel), a nightclub singer, and Stuart Weber, a nightclub performer, and Borscht Belt comic and manager. He was already appearing in television commercials by elementary school age. He later studied at the High School of the Performing Arts in New York and graduated from New York State University. The fair-haired, fair-skinned actor worked a series of menial jobs during his salad days as a struggling thespian (custodian, elevator operator, singing waiter) until earning his break on TV in a presentation of one of Mark Twain's stories. Quickly making his film debut in the popular comedy The Flamingo Kid (1984), he nabbed a running role on the soap opera As the World Turns (1956) a year later. On the set he met first wife Finn Carter, another co-star on the daytime drama. Steven stayed put for a year then went on to gain recognition in more offbeat and/or prestigious productions on film and prime-time TV. He played a rock star in the thoroughly offbeat foreign-made film Angels (1990) and showed real command as John F. Kennedy in the epic miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts (1990).
That same year TV stardom came his way with the sitcom Wings (1990). Co-starring with Tim Daly as Brian Hackett, the looser, goofier more aimless half of the brotherly team who co-owned a one-plane, Nantucket-based airline, the actors' chemistry, not to mention a terrifically eclectic supporting cast, kept the show on a steady course for seven seasons. Easily typed now as a genial, lovable loser type, Weber faced the prospect of severe pigeon-holing. So during the show's off season, he started showing up in more serious roles. He suffered at the hands of the deranged Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female (1992); appeared in a second chiller with The Temp (1993); and made a cameo in the highly depressing, award-winning Leaving Las Vegas (1995). His flair for comedy shone in is straight-man role as Johathan Harker in the critically acclaimed horror spoof, Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) He truly impressed both critics and audiences alike as the complex title character in Jeffrey (1995), a gay romantic film comedy, and then completely defied all odds by starring in an epic TV-movie version of Stephen King's horror classic The Shining (1997), seizing the role inherited from Jack Nicholson and brilliantly making it his own while earning a Saturn award for his chilling efforts.
By the time "Wings" came to an end in 1997, Weber had divorced his actress/wife Finn Carter (they had no children) and married actress/TV executive Juliette Hohnen on July 9, 1995. They have two children, Jack and Alfie. He and Laura Linney were selected to play the TV-movie leads in the popular A.R. Gurney theater piece Love Letters (1999). While other TV series comebacks have fared less well, including the short runs of The Weber Show (2000) (which he produced), The D.A. (2004), Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006), Happy Town (2010) and Chasing Life (2014).
Steven bounced around solidly in other venues. In 2002, he joined the cast of the smash Broadway musical "The Producers," taking over the nebbish Matthew Broderick role. In 2004, he went to London to appear on stage with Kevin Spacey and Mary Stuart Masterson in "National Anthems." Other plays over the years have included "Throwing Your Voice," "Something in the Air" and "Design for Living."
Steven has remained quite productive into the millennium with recent film outings in Sexual Life (2004), The Amateurs (2005), Inside Out (2005), the title role in Choose Connor (2007), Farm House (2008), My One and Only (2009), A Little Bit of Heaven (2011), Son of Morning (2011), the comedy Being Bin Laden (2011) in which he played Osama Bin Laden, Crawlspace (2012), Kiss Me (2014), Amateur Night (2016), A Thousand Junkies (2017), The Perfection (2018) and Allan the Dog (2020). Seen even more prolifically on TV, he has graced such popular shows as "The D.A.," "Will & Grace" (as Will's brother Sam), "Monk," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Desperate Housewives," "Hot in Cleveland," "Parenthood," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Sleepy Hollow" and "This Close."
The actor continues to play a stream of comedic and dramatic recurring roles on such TV programs as Without a Trace (2002), Brothers & Sisters (2006), Dallas (2012) (the New Generation), Murder in the First (2014), Helix (2014), iZombie (2015), House of Lies (2012), NCIS: New Orleans (2014), Ballers (2015) and Get Shorty (2017) and more recently appeared as a regular on the mystery series 13 Reasons Why (2017) and comedy series Indebted (2020). In addition, he has given voice to a few animated programs including Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), Avengers Assemble (2012) The Bravest Knight (2019) and Puppy Dog Pals (2017).- Born in Bedford, Texas, on March 4, 1993, the multi-talented Jenna Boyd
has been "on the go" in her life since the age of 2. Her mother,
Debbie, entered Jenna into a modeling search when she was two years
old. Her enthusiasm and sweet nature captured the hearts of agents who
informed her mother to send Jenna to agencies. Soon enough, Jenna was
appearing in commercials and print ads, and was cast as one of the
young kids in The Barney Show.
A few years later, the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, because of
work commitments involving Jenna's father, Mike, who now flies for
Delta Air. Jenna's agent in Atlanta urged Debbie to temporarily move to
Los Angeles, California, to audition. It worked, and Jenna was quickly
cast in the TV shows
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000),
Just Shoot Me! (1997),
Titus (1999), and
Six Feet Under (2001). Jenna
also appeared in the feature TV-movie
Mary Christmas (2002)
where she played the lead character, Felice. Jenna's first foray into
film was a small part in
The Exorcist (1973) director
William Friedkin's
The Hunted (2003) where she played
daughter to Benicio Del Toro's
character; the film also stars
Tommy Lee Jones. She then appeared in
Sam Weisman's
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003)
playing star David Spade's "adopted"
daughter Sally. Jenna's biggest breakthrough came in
Ron Howard's
(Night Shift (1982),
Apollo 13 (1995)) 2003 film
The Missing (2003), where she
received critical acclaim for her haunting portrayal of Dot Gilkenson,
daughter of Cate Blanchett's character.
(This was Jenna's second time working with
Tommy Lee Jones.) Besides acting, Jenna
Boyd is also an award-winning skater.
On the ice as early as 5:15 in the morning, Jenna's determination in
her skating has already led her to master the double jump move, which
is very successful for the 11-year old (her favorite skater is
Tara Lipinski). Despite the hectic
schedule of juggling skating, school (she's a straight-A student) and
acting, Jenna is gifted and strong enough to handle it all.
Jenna's other hobbies include running a spy club with her friends,
horseback riding, attending church, making homemade perfumes and
spending time with her brother, Cayden, who is also an up-and-coming
actor (last seen in Clint Eastwood's 2003
film Mystic River (2003) as the son
to the Tim Robbins character). Jenna
Boyd currently resides in Los Angeles. - Actress

Born Kay Ann Lenz on March 4, 1953, the comely, pert-nosed, dark-haired, award-winning actress came from an L.A. showbiz family -- her father being producer/commentator Ted Lenz and her mother model/radio engineer Kay Miller Lenz. At the ripe old age of eight weeks, Kay appeared on her first TV show produced by her dad as a baby being held up and sung to. She must have taken to the attention because she continued to appear on her father's TV shows and commercials throughout her childhood.
In the 1960s, she appeared as a teen on stage (Pasadena Playhouse) and, using the stage name Kay Ann Kemper, moved into TV in 1967 with several episodes on the religious series This Is the Life (1952). She went on to appear on such popular programs as "The Monroes" and "The Andy Griffith Show," Returning to theatre work, she left the small screen until 1972, when she was spotted on episodes of "Ironside" and "Owen Marshall" as well as the TV movie (and unsold pilot) where she started earning attention playing feisty, troubled teens. Initially billed as Kay Ann Kemmer, she appeared in a bit part on the classic George Lucas 1950's film American Graffiti (1973)
Kay began to flirt with serious 1970s film stardom after being cast by director Clint Eastwood in the troubled, titular role of Breezy (1973) opposite William Holden as a plucky, but hard luck hippie/free spirit who has an affair with a much older businessman. She earned a Golden Globe nomination as "Most Promising Newcomer." Unfortunately, although Kay was singled out for her affecting performance, the movie itself was ignored. Around that same time she earned a Daytime Emmy Award for her performance in a 1974 episode of The ABC Afternoon Playbreak (1972)
Although she ventured on, none of her subsequent strong work in such films as White Line Fever (1975), The Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday (1976), Moving Violation (1976), Mean Dog Blues (1978), The Passage (1979) and House (1985) and/or TV movie dramas as Lisa, Bright and Dark (1973) (title role), A Summer Without Boys (1973), Unwed Father (1974), The Underground Man (1974), The F.B.I. Story: The FBI Versus Alvin Karpis, Public Enemy Number One (1974), Journey from Darkness (1975), The Initiation of Sarah (1978) (title role), The Seeding of Sarah Burns (1979) (title role) and Sanctuary of Fear (1979) would help push her into the top star echelon. She did, however, earn fine notices and an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Kate Jordache in the acclaimed mini-series Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) and had a standout role as Doreen in a recurring role on the series How the West Was Won (1976).
Continuing to appear on series TV, including dramatic appearances on "The Streets of San Francisco," "Gunsmoke," "Medical Center," "McCloud" and "Cannon," Kay gained uninvited attention after her wedding to superstar teen idol David Cassidy in 1977. The marriage would last six years.
Kay's career has remained quite solid since she entered mid-career. On film, she played an adulterous wife (and earned a bit of notoriety for her nude scenes) in the prison drama Fast-Walking (1982); co-starred with William Katt as an actress and his ex-wife in the haunted house thriller House (1985); played the girlfriend of vigilante Charles Bronson in another of the "Death Wish" series: Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987); is terrorized along with her family by escaped convicts in Fear (1988); is top-billed as an investigating cop in the voodoo horror The Head Hunter (1988); portrays a mobster's wife in the Burt Reynolds crime drama Physical Evidence (1989); appeared in a film vehicle for rock singer John Mellencamp as his lover in Falling from Grace (1992); and essayed the role of the ex-wife of notorious gunfighter Lance Henriksen in Gunfighter's Moon (1995).
TV remained a primary source of gritty work -- "Hill Street Blues," "Magnum P.I.," "Cagney & Lacey," "Heart of the City," "Moonlighting," "Simon and Simon," "Lois & Clark" and "Touched by an Angel." She topped it off with Emmy nominations for her performance in Midnight Caller (1988) and for her defense attorney Maggie Zombro in Reasonable Doubts (1991). Into the millennium, she was seen on episodes of "ER," "JAG," "Heartland," "Cold Case" and "Bones," and, on the large screen, reunited with "House" co-star William Katt as harried parents in the high school comedy The Secret Lives of Dorks (2013) and a earned a poignant co-starring role in the social drama More Beautiful for Having Been Broken (2019).- Writer

Paul W.S. Anderson gained a fair bit of notoriety in his native England
when he directed the ultra-violent
Shopping (1994) (which he also wrote),
starring Jude Law and
Sean Pertwee in a story about thieves who
steal by ramming a car into storefronts. The film was banned in some
cinemas in England, and became a direct-to-video slightly edited
release in the United States.
Shopping (1994) allowed Anderson to get
the chance to direct
Mortal Kombat (1995), an adaptation
of the hit video game, which showcased his directorial trademarks -
visually stunning scenery and quick-cut editing. The film did well
enough for him to choose his next project, which was
Soldier (1998) with Warner Bros.,
with Kurt Russell in the lead.
Unfortunately, Russell decided at the time to go on hiatus, pushing the
release date of that film into 1998. In the meantime, Anderson directed
Event Horizon (1997) from a script
by Philip Eisner, which featured Anderson
regulars Sean Pertwee and
Jason Isaacs. The science fiction/horror
film, a Gothic horror version of
Solaris (1972), was stylish and scary,
but was critically panned and did not do well in the box office, which
Anderson blamed on studio-enforced cuts to the story. (Anderson has
promised a Director's Cut, though none has been announced as of yet).
Soldier (1998) didn't fare well with
critics and box office either, and Anderson's planned 2000 remake of
Death Race 2000 (1975) was
canceled. This forced him to think smaller, which led to
The Sight (2000), a
supernatural mystery movie that was a minor hit. He then resurfaced to
direct another video game adaption,
Resident Evil (2002). Long rumored
among fans to be a choice comeback vehicle for zombie grandfather
George A. Romero, the writing
and directing credits eventually transferred to Anderson. He next was
given the helm for the long-awaited film adaption of the popular Dark
Horse comic book,
Alien vs. Predator (2004).- Actress

area of Texas, Foster knew from an early age that he wanted to be an
actor. He grew up just outside of Chicago until he was 12 years old,
where his family lived on a farm and he was home schooled. When
Foster's older sisters started to dabble in theatre he immediately
became interested in the entertainment industry. Soon after moving to
Dallas with his family he chose theatre as an elective in middle
school, pursued the arts in high school, and went on to study at the
Quad C Theatre Program at Collin County Community College. In 2004
Foster decided to make the big move to Los Angeles. Once in LA, Foster
joined an acting class, met his manager, and started booking
commercials. In 2005 he landed several independent films, and in 2007
he booked what would become his regular acting gig for the next five
years: a series regular role starring as "Cappie" on the hit series

entitled "Neighbros." The show sold in the fall of 2010 for fall's 2011
pilot season. Although the experience of putting together a show was
something Foster loved, he decided to put all side projects on hold and
focus on booking new acting roles. By the time "Greek" had ended its
run in 2011 Foster had made his mark at ABC through his work on the
show, and his relationship with the network would continue to grow over
the next several years. Foster went on to score a handful of guest star
roles including appearances on: TNT's "The Closer," NBC's "Friends with
Benefits," "Law and Order: LA," and "Parenthood," and ABC Family's
"Melissa & Joey." He also held a recurring role on "Quarterlife" for
NBC and starred in the 2009 fan favorite independent feature TEENAGE
DIRTBAG. In 2012 Foster had the opportunity to play characters that
were far from the happy go lucky teen he portrayed on "Greek." First,
he was seen in 10 episodes of the hit Showtime series Californication (2007)
starring opposite David Duchovny as "Tyler," and went on to play "Jonas
Beckett" in five episodes of ABC's Emmy Nominated series "The River."
Soon after filming "The River," ABC enlisted Foster once again, casting
him in "Zero Hour" [2013] opposite Anthony Edwards, Jacinda Barrett,
Addison Timlin, and Carmen Ejogo. When not acting Foster is an active
supporter of The Sue Weaver Cause, an organization that promotes
consumer awareness of unsafe service employment - their quest is to
require proper annual criminal background checks on all workers sent to
people's homes. Foster is also a musician, making music for over nine
years and released an EP in 2009 with his band Siren's Eye. He recently
became a certified scuba diver, and currently lives in the Los Angeles
area with his two dogs, Oliver and Charlie.- Actress

- Anne Haney held prominent roles acting on stage, on the screen, and on
TV. All these achievements came in her mid-40s, after she had raised a
daughter and buried a husband. It wasn't until after she had packed her
daughter off to college and "the maid quit", as she said, that she
decided to try her hand at acting. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee
and studied drama, radio and TV at the University of North Carolina,
where she met her husband, John Haney. She did apply her schooling
briefly at a Memphis television station, but soon settled down with her
husband and devoted herself to family life. "I was a lovely faculty
wife. We made ambrosia salad. We did good works. We played a lot of
bridge", she said of those times. By the 1970s, however, Haney began
seeking work in local theatre productions and television commercials.
Soon, she was traveling with a touring company performing as the maid
in Noël Coward's "Fallen Angels". She toured for two years. Eventually, she
joined the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of T.V. and
Radio Artists. She and her husband had, in fact, planned to move to
Southern California after his retirement. She was eager to experience
and, she hoped, benefit from the variety and prestige available only in
Hollywood. Those plans changed when Mr. Haney died of kidney disease in
1980; Anne Haney made the trek to California, alone. Not long after
arriving, she had an agent and a part in the Walter Matthau vehicle Hopscotch (1980).
As her career took off, she also secured roles on stage, notably the
role of Margaret Fielding in the Theatre West production of
"Verdigris". When asked whether she ever dwelled on the prospect that
had she begun her career too late, she replied that "this is gravy to
me. It's a wonderful way to spend the last third of my
life". - Actress

Joan Greenwood, of the plummy feline voice, was born in the well-to-do
London district of Chelsea, the daughter of renowned portrait painter
Sydney Earnshaw Greenwood (1887-1949).
Dancing from the age of eight, she took ballet lessons and later
enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Graduating at age
18, Joan made her theatrical debut in Molière's
"Malade Imaginaire" at the Apollo Theatre. Performing some time later
in Clare Boothe Luce's "The Women",
she was noticed by Leslie Howard,
who cast the diminutive lass as his leading lady in his wartime flag
waver The Gentle Sex (1943). From
this time onward, Joan began to alternate between stage and screen,
comedy and drama. She worked during the London Blitz and toured with
the Entertainment National Service Association (ENSA).
The theatre saw her in classical plays with the
Donald Wolfit Company, ranging from
George Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak
House" to
William Shakespeare's
"Hamlet" (as Ophelia), and Henrik Ibsen's
"Hedda Gabler". On screen she gave a strong, sensitive performance in
Eric Ambler's psychological thriller
The October Man (1947). She was
also effectively cast opposite
Stewart Granger as the fragile,
conflicted Sophie Dorothea, imprisoned in a loveless marriage, in
Basil Dearden's period romance
Saraband (1948).
Above all, she is fondly remembered for a trio of classic Ealing
comedies, conveying a measure of eroticism while remaining
quintessentially "correct" and "properly British". She purred her way
through
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)
(as the beguiling, but manipulative Sibella) and as Scottish Peggy
Macroon she taunted straight-laced
Basil Radford in
Whisky Galore! (1949). She was
Lady Caroline Lamb in
The Bad Lord Byron (1949) and
she dutifully undermined idealistic, naive inventor Sidney Stratton
(Alec Guinness) in
The Man in the White Suit (1951).
In between her two other major screen roles--Gwendolen Fairfax in
The Importance of Being Earnest (1952)
and lascivious Lady Bellaston in
Tom Jones (1963)--Joan had a brief
spell in Hollywood, paired again with Stewart Granger for
Fritz Lang's gothic period melodrama
Moonfleet (1955). She did not enjoy the
experience. Eschewing the trimmings of Hollywood stardom, she opted
instead for the uncomplicated life at Ealing, where actors "washed
their hair in buckets" and lived on "toasted sandwiches, chocolates and
soup".

Adrian Lyne (Director/Writer/Producer) is the creative force behind
some of the most talked-about movies of our time, among them, Fatal Attraction (1987), 9½ Weeks (1986) and Indecent Proposal (1993).
Born in Peterborough, England and raised in London, Lyne attended the
Highgate school, where his father was a teacher. In his twenties, he
played trumpet with the jazz group, The Colin Kellard Band. An avid
moviegoer during his school days, he was inspired to make his own films
by the work of French New Wave directors like Godard, Truffaut and
Chabrol. Two of his early short films, "The Table" and "Mr. Smith,"
were official entries in the London Film Festival.
Lyne made his feature filmmaking debut in 1980 with Foxes (1980), a
perceptive look at the friendship of four teenage girls growing up in
Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley, starring Jodie Foster. His next
film, Flashdance (1983), an innovative blend of rock 'n' roll, new dance
styles, and breathtaking imagery, created a sensation in 1983. Lyne's
bravura visuals, perfectly wedded to Giorgio Moroder's powerful score,
propelled the story of an aspiring ballerina (Jennifer Beals), in her
film debut) who works in a factory by day and dances in a club at
night. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, with the theme
song, "What a Feeling", winning the Oscar for Best Song. In 1986, Lyne
attracted controversy with 9½ Weeks (1986); based on a novel by Elizabeth McNeill, the tale of a sexually-obsessive relationship starred Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Although considered too explicit by its
American distributor, and cut for US release, it became a huge hit
abroad in its unedited version. Lyne's fourth film was the box-office
phenomenon Fatal Attraction (1987), which to date has generated over $600
million in revenues worldwide. The story of a happily-married lawyer
(Michael Douglas) who tries to break off an affair with an attractive
single woman (Glenn Close), only to have her become obsessed with him
and endanger his family, the film struck a powerful chord with
audiences and was one of the most successful films of the year. Deemed
"the Zeitgeist hit of the decade" by TIME Magazine, Fatal Attraction
won six Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, Best
Director, Best Actress (Glenn Close), Best Supporting Actress (Anne Archer), Best Screenplay and Best Editing. In 1990, Lyne pushed the
boundaries of psychological terror with the thriller Jacob's Ladder (1990).
Written by Academy Award-winner Bruce Joel Rubin and starring
Tim Robbins, the film took audiences
on a tortuous ride through Vietnam veteran Jacob Singer's
nightmarish world of reality and unexplainable hallucinations to reveal
a shocking and intensely-debated conclusion. The film won Best Picture
at the Avoriaz Film Festival. With Indecent Proposal (1993), Lyne examined
how the sexes look at relationships and money. Starring Robert Redford,
Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore, Indecent Proposal became a worldwide
hit. His film, Lolita (1997), based on the modern classic novel by Vladimir Nabokov, was filmed for theatrical release, but American distributors shied away from it due to its controversial subject matter. The film
premiered on Showtime, and was so well-received that national
theatrical distribution soon followed. His next film Unfaithful (2002) was
loosely based on Claude Chabrol's The Unfaithful Wife (1969). The movie stars
Richard Gere and Diane Lane in a disturbing story of a marriage in
trouble. Lane received much praise for her performance. She won awards
for best actress from the National Society of Film Critics and New York
Film Critics, and was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award
for Best Actress.
When not working in the United States, Lyne lives with his family in a
rural village in Southern France.- Director

Popular African-American vocalist and entertainer Barbara McNair
dazzled audiences with her singing prowess and exceptional beauty for
well over four decades until her death on February 4, 2007 of throat
cancer in Los Angeles. The Chicago-born entertainer and one-time
secretary was raised in Racine, Wisconsin, one of five children born to
Horace and Claudia Taylor McNair. She sang in her church choir and was
encouraged by her parents to pursue voice. Following music studies at
the Racine Conservatory of Music and the American Conservatory of Music
in her hometown Chicago, she moved to Los Angeles and attended USC
before relocating once again to New York to pursue her dream.
Barbara worked her way up from typist to singer of small supper clubs
to headlining large showrooms as one of America's more visible singers
of the late 50s and 60s. A jazz stylist influenced by the great
Sarah Vaughan at first, she gently
eased into popular music. Her first big break came with a week-long gig
on Arthur Godfrey's talent show, which
led to bookings at The Purple Onion, The Persian Room and L.A.'s
Cocoanut Grove. She began receiving invites on the TV variety circuit
('Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town," "The Dean Martin Show" and "The
Tonight Show") and made it to Broadway with the musicals "The Body
Beautiful" (1958) and "No Strings" (1962), replacing original star
Diahann Carroll in the latter. At
different times she recorded on the Coral, Signature and Motown labels
resulting in such modest hits as "You're Gonna Love My Baby" and
"Bobby."
In the late 60s Barbara made a choice to scout out acting roles, hoping
to parlay her singing success into a movie career. The singer showed
initial promise as a sexy lead alongside
Raymond St. Jacques in the gritty
crime drama
If He Hollers, Let Him Go! (1968)
in which she made news with her celebrated nude sequences. She also
wore a nun's habit alongside
Mary Tyler Moore in
Elvis Presley's last feature film
Change of Habit (1969), and
appeared opposite Sidney Poitier as
Virgil Tibbs' wife in both
They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970)
and The Organization (1971). A
warm, inviting presence, she pioneered her own syndicated musical TV
show
The Barbara McNair Show (1969),
a rarity at the time for a black entertainer, and guested on all the
popular TV programs of the day including "Mission: Impossible,"
"Hogan's Heroes" and "I Spy."
The early 1970s were a difficult time for Barbara when offers suddenly
stopped coming in and her husband/manager, who had mob affiliations,
was shot and killed in 1976. Barbara went on to appear in such stage
musicals as "The Pajama Game" and "Sophisticated Ladies", and was also
seen in a recurring role for a time on
General Hospital (1963) in
later years. She was also spotted in a couple of obscure films in the
80s and 90s. Barbara's love of performing continued even in lesser
venues -- cabaret clubs, cruise ships, special events and even
retirement centers in Florida -- still sporting her stunning looks and
vocal sparkle. In 2006 she opened for
Bob Newhart in Philadelphia and New Jersey.
Married four times in all, Barbara died at age 72 and was survived by
husband, Charles Blecka.- A multi-hyphenate, Brooklyn is an aspiring chef and personality, with more than 14 million followers on Instagram alone.
