Yvonne De Carlo was born Margaret Yvonne Middleton on September 1, 1922
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She was three when her father
abandoned the family. Her mother turned to waitressing in a restaurant
to make ends meet--a rough beginning for an actress who would, one day,
be one of Hollywood's elite. Yvonne's mother wanted her to be in the
entertainment field and enrolled her in a local dance school and also
saw that she studied dramatics. Yvonne was not shy in the least. She
was somewhat akin to Colleen Moore
who, like herself, entertained the neighborhood with impromptu
productions. In 1937, when Yvonne was 15, her mother took her to
Hollywood to try for fame and fortune, but nothing came of it and they
returned to Canada. They came back to Hollywood in 1940, where Yvonne
would dance in chorus lines at night while she checked in at the
studios by day in search of film work. After appearing in unbilled
parts in three short films, she finally got a part in a feature.
Although the film
Harvard, Here I Come! (1941)
was quite lame, Yvonne glowed in her brief appearance as a bathing
beauty. The rest of 1942 and 1943 saw her in more uncredited roles in
films that did not quite set Hollywood on fire. In
The Deerslayer (1943), she played
Wah-Tah. The role did not amount to much, but it was much better than
the ones she had been handed previously. The next year was about the
same as the previous two years. She played small parts as either
secretaries, someone's girlfriend, native girls or office clerks. Most
aspiring young actresses would have given up and gone home in defeat,
but not Yvonne. She trudged on. The next year, started out the same,
with mostly bit parts, but later that year, she landed the title role
in
Salome, Where She Danced (1945)
for Universal Pictures. While critics were less than thrilled with the
film, it was at long last her big break, and the film was a success for
Universal. Now she was rolling.
Her next film was the western comedy
Frontier Gal (1945) as Lorena
Dumont. After a year off the screen in 1946, she returned in 1947 as
Cara de Talavera in
Song of Scheherazade (1947),
and many agreed that the only thing worth watching in the film was
Yvonne. Her next film was the highly regarded
Burt Lancaster prison film
Brute Force (1947). Time after time,
Yvonne continued to pick up leading roles, in such pictures as
Slave Girl (1947),
Black Bart (1948),
Casbah (1948) and
River Lady (1948). She had a meaty
role in Criss Cross (1949), a
gangster movie, as the ex-wife of a hoodlum. At the start of the 1950s,
Yvonne enjoyed continued success in lead roles. Her talents were again
showcased in movies such as
The Desert Hawk (1950),
Silver City (1951) and
Scarlet Angel (1952). Her last film
in 1952 was
Hurricane Smith (1952), a picture
most fans and critics agree is best forgotten.
In 1956, she appeared in the film that would immortalize her best,
The Ten Commandments (1956).
She played Sephora, the wife of Moses
(Charlton Heston). The film was,
unquestionably, a super smash, and is still shown on television today.
Her performance served as a springboard to another fine role, this time
as Amantha Starr in
Band of Angels (1957). In the late
1950s and early 1960s, Yvonne appeared on such television series as
Bonanza (1959) and
The Virginian (1962). With film roles drying up, she took the role of Lily Munster in the smash
series The Munsters (1964).
However, she still was not completely through with the big screen.
Appearances in such films as
McLintock! (1963),
The Power (1968),
The Seven Minutes (1971) and
La casa de las sombras (1976)
kept her before the eyes of the movie-going public. Yvonne De Carlo died
at age 84 of natural causes on January 8, 2007 in Woodland Hills,
California.- Actress

moved into acting and became an acclaimed and respected character
actor, Richard Farnsworth was a native of Los Angeles. He grew up
around horses and as a teenager was offered an opportunity to ride in
films. He appeared in horse-racing scenes and cavalry charges unbilled,
first as a general rider and later as a stuntman. His riding and
stunting skills gained him regular work doubling stars ranging from
Roy Rogers to
Gary Cooper, and he often doubled
the bad guy as well. Although. like most stuntmen, he was occasionally
given a line or two of dialogue, it was not until Farnsworth was over
50 that his natural talent for acting and his ease and warmth before
the camera became apparent. When he won an Academy Award nomination for
his role in
Comes a Horseman (1978), it came
as a surprise to many in the industry that this "newcomer" had been
around since the 1930s. Farnsworth followed his Oscar nomination with a
number of finely wrought performances, including
The Grey Fox (1982) and
The Natural (1984). In 1999 he came
out of semi-retirement for a tour-de-force portrayal in
The Straight Story (1999).- Screen International "Star of Tomorrow" Aisling Loftus is best known thus far as 'Sonya Rostova' in the hugely successful BBC historical period drama series War and Peace alongside Lily James, Paul Dano and James Norton.

Craig McLachlan is one of Australia's most versatile actors and a
household name in both Australia and the U.K. He has been the recipient
of the top Australian television accolade, the coveted Gold Logie, and
his stage production of Grease held the U.K. West End all-time box
office record from 1993 right up to 2010.
He is an actor of huge range who is equally comfortable in film,
television or stage productions. He not only carries with him huge
personal charisma but is also not afraid to use it, which might account
for his singular popularity across a wide range of audience
demographics both in Australia and internationally.
Craig first appeared on television in a guest role on the TV drama Sons
And Daughters in late 1986. He became famous in 1987 in the role of
Henry Ramsay, brother of Kylie Minogue's character Charlene, in
Neighbours, a role which not only garnered him significant praise both
in Australia and the UK but also led to an offer two years later to
play schoolteacher Grant Mitchell on Home And Away, thereby making him
one of the few actors to achieve popularity in all of the major
Australian television dramas.
Craig has also had major success as a singer and songwriter, achieving
Australian and UK hit singles with such songs as "Amanda" (AUS#23 /
UK#19, 1990) and "On My Own" (AUS#23, 1991) and the now classic remake
of the Bo Diddley song "Mona" (AUS#3 / UK#2, 1990).
In 1993 he was invited to London and starred as Danny Zuko in the
popular West End revival of the musical Grease alongside Deborah
Gibson, a role he played to great acclaim. As if this weren't enough, in
1995 Craig appeared in the popular British television series BUGS as a
free-lance agent and electronics expert who along with his colleagues
worked covertly to combat terrorist threats. Proving that his abilities
extended beyond television series and stage productions, he appeared in
the major television movie Catherine The Great alongside Catherine
Zeta-Jones, Jeanne Moreau and Omar Sharif.
In 2001, Craig had a breakthrough with the American movie Superfire,
the first of many US-attached performances, and in 2004 was asked to
take the role of Kane Morgan in the popular show McLeod's Daughters.
In 2005 he starred as Jeff Kennard in the successful Australian film
Hating Alison Ashley with fellow Neighbours star Delta Goodrem and
then returned to London to take over the role of Caractacus Potts in
the London Palladium Production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, with
Richard O'Brien as the Child Catcher, who had long been a fan of
Craig's ever since Craig played Richard's greatest creation, Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show in 2003.
Craig continues to be popular and his star shows no sign of diminishing,
as is demonstrated by his appearance as Billy Flynn in Australia and
Asia in Chicago as well as roles in the hit series City Homicide, The
Cut, and the number one Australia TV series, Packed to the Rafters. Combine this with his standout performances in the feature films
Savage Crossings and Amar a morir and it becomes clear that Craig not
only is here to stay but is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with
in all aspects of his profession.
Craig is thrilled to be working back in Australia with the hit show

Tall, dark and handsome, not to mention a charismatic rebel of 1960s Hollywood, actor George Maharis (surname originally Maharias) was born in 1928 in Astoria, New York, one of seven siblings. His immigrant father was a restaurateur. Maharis expressed an early interest in singing and initially pursued it as a career, but extensive overuse of his voice and improper vocal lessons stripped his vocal cords, and he subsequently veered towards an acting career.
Trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse with Sanford Meisner and the Actor's Studio with Lee Strasberg, the "Method" actor found roles on television, including several episodes of Naked City (1958), and secured an early name for himself on the late 1950s off-Broadway scene, especially with his performances in Jean Genet's "Deathwatch" and Edward Albee's "Zoo Story". Producer/director Otto Preminger "discovered" Maharis for film, offering him a choice of five small roles in the upcoming film Exodus (1960), in which the actor eventually played an underground freedom fighter.
One of the episodes Maharis did of the police drama Naked City (1958), entitled "Four Sweet Corners", wound up being a roundabout pilot for the buddy adventure series that would earn him household fame. With the arrival of the series Route 66 (1960), the actor earned intense TV stardom and a major cult following as a Brando-esque, streetwise drifter named Buzz Murdock. Partnered with the fair-skinned, clean-scrubbed, college-educated Tod Stiles (Martin Milner, later star of Adam-12 (1968)), the duo traveled throughout the U.S. in a hotshot convertible Corvette and had a huge female audience getting their kicks off with the show. At the show's peak, Maharis parlayed his TV fame into a recording career with Epic Records, producing six albums in the process and peaking with the single "Teach Me Tonight".
During the middle of the series' third season peak, Maharis abruptly left the series with a number of reasons cited. Often quoted is that the virile, seductive image of a fast-rising star apparently got to him, and that he proved increasingly troublesome as he grew in stature. Tabloids reported that the actor purposefully instigated ongoing clashes with both producers and co-star Milner in order to leave the series and seek film stardom while the irons were hot. Maharis denied this, insisting that his working relationships on the set were solid and that any complaints were vastly overblown. He cited health reasons as the reason for his leaving, claiming that a long-term bout (and relapse) of infectious hepatitis, caught during a 1962 shoot of the series, forced him to abandon the show under doctor's orders. For whatever reason, Maharis left. His replacement, ruggedly handsome Glenn Corbett, failed to click with audiences and the series was canceled after the next season.
Back to working on films, the brash and confident actor, with his health scare over, aggressively pursued stardom with a number of leads, but the duds he found himself in -- Quick, Before It Melts (1964), Sylvia (1965), A Covenant with Death (1967), The Happening (1967), and The Desperados (1969) prime among his list of disasters -- hampered his chances. The best of the lot was the suspense drama The Satan Bug (1965), but it lacked box-office appeal and disappeared quickly. Moreover, a 1967 sex scandal (and subsequent one in 1974) could not have helped. In the 1970s Maharis returned to series TV in the short-lived The Most Deadly Game (1970), co-starring fellow criminologists Ralph Bellamy and Yvette Mimieux (who replaced the late Inger Stevens who committed suicide shortly before shooting was about to start). The decade also included a spate of TV movies, including the more notable The Monk (1969) and Rich Man, Poor Man (1976). In between these he appeared in Las Vegas nightclubs and summer stock, and was one of the first celebrities to pose for a nude centerfold in Playgirl (July 1973).
His last working years brought about the occasional film, most notably as the resurrected warlock in The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) and an appearance in the horror thriller Doppelganger (1993). With his "bad boy" glory days behind him, Maharis' TV career ended rather routinely with guest parts on such popular but unchallenging shows such as "Fantasy Island" and "Murder, She Wrote". Later years were spent focusing on impressionistic painting. He has been fully retired since the early 1990s.- Actor

Renee Godfrey certainly had the earnestness and requisite beauty to
catapult herself to the top of the film industry but, in the end, fell
short of her initial potential. She later put her career on the back
burner to raise a family and, sadly, fell ill with cancer before she
could resurrect it, dying at the young age of 44.
She was born Renee Haal on September 1, 1919, and discovered early on
that she had a natural gift for singing. The highly photogenic young
teen gave serious thoughts to an entertainment career after entering
and winning the "Miss New York State" contest (the talent portion, of
course, was her singing). She then vied for but lost the 1937 "Miss
America" crown. The resulting attention certainly didn't hurt and, by
age 19, she found herself singing in London as a part of
Danny Kaye's nightclub act. While there she
met British actor/playwright/director/screenwriter
Peter Godfrey, who worked both in
London and Ireland at the time. He was almost 20 years her senior. The
couple arrived in the US in the late 1930s and married in 1941.
Renee began her starlet career as Renee Haal at RKO, making her
unbilled debut in
Kitty Foyle (1940),
the film that garnered Ginger Rogers her
Oscar. She continued obscurely as chorus girl types in such films as
Let's Make Music (1940) and
Danny Kaye's
Up in Arms (1944), and even played a
nurse in Citizen Kane (1941).
Renee's stunning looks were soon put on display pitching Coca-Cola on
billboards while decorating military barracks as a soldier's pin-up
favorite. During WWII she and her husband put together a vaudeville act
and entertained the troops on USO tours. In their show Peter played an
amateur magician while Renee supported him as his lovely and leggy
assistant.
Renee tried to take advantage of her husband's escalating career at RKO
as a medium-budget director. She appeared to charming effect as a
secondary femme in his dramedy
Unexpected Uncle (1941) in which
elderly Charles Coburn narrated
and stole the film right from under ingénue leads
Anne Shirley and
James Craig. Renee's performance
earned her a contract at RKO. At around this time she changed the last
name of her stage moniker to her married name. After appearing in a
couple of Leon Errol comedy shorts, she was
featured once again in one of her husband's pictures, the romantic
drama Highways by Night (1942),
but it did not improve her Hollywood stock.
Renee's career picked up briefly in postwar "Poverty Row" films as a
"second lead" supporting such female stars as
Ruth Hussey in
Bedside Manner (1945),
Martha O'Driscoll in
Down Missouri Way (1946) and
Lynne Roberts in
Winter Wonderland (1946). Her
only co-starring parts came with the above-average Sherlock Holmes
entry Terror by Night (1946) and
the mild comedy French Leave (1948)
starring former child stars
Jackie Cooper and
Jackie Coogan. In the long run, most of
Renee's movie roles emphasized her beauty, not her talent, and that
took her only so far. An unbilled role in her husband's picture
The Decision of Christopher Blake (1948)
saw pretty much the end of her already flagging career.
With primary focus now on raising her three children (which included a
set of twins), Renee was seen very sporadically on TV during the 1950s
with guest roles on former film stars
Loretta Young and
Jane Wyman's tailor-made showcases. For the
most part, however, Renee was out of view. Her director-husband, who
had flourished on 50s TV, was in ill health by the end of the decade.
Taking secretarial and real estate classes to help support the family
income, Renee tried making a comeback of sorts, finding bit roles in
Can-Can (1960),
Inherit the Wind (1960) and
Tender Is the Night (1962).
Still a robust beauty, she was also a guest player on such popular
shows as Perry Mason (1957),
Hazel (1961),
The Donna Reed Show (1958)
and Wagon Train (1957). In the
early 1960s, however, before she could get completely back on track,
she was diagnosed with cancer. After a long, exhaustive battle, she
died at the age of 44 on May 24, 1964, in Los Angeles. Survived by her
husband and children, her last film, an unbilled part in
Walt Disney's feature
Those Calloways (1965), was
released posthumously. Her husband died in 1970. - Actress

If you were to try and summarize Barry Gibb's forty-five year career in
the music industry in a single phrase you would probably come up with
something such as "versatile". Barry Gibb continues to remain an
important, relevant figure in the music industry due to his willingness
to adapt his music, his style and his image into whatever musical
styling is at the fore. What makes the story of Barry Gibb so unique is
that he has had a successful musical career of over forty years,
continually restyling both the image and the music of the Bee Gees in
order to remain relevant to the contemporary era. Barry has gone from
being the front man of the soft rock/pop styling of the Bee Gees in the
1960s, to bringing the disco scene to the fore in the 70s, becoming a
crooner in the 80s and reinventing his career yet again in the 1990s,
as the Bee Gees enjoyed yet another reinvigoration, as their new albums
and hit "One Night Only" tour proved that the music of the Bee Gees was
timeless. Lasting over forty years, the Bee Gees are one of the longest
running musical acts of all-time, and Barry's longevity can be
attributed in part to the timelessness of his songs about unrequited
love, soul-mates, people finding courage in times of dismay and above
all, celebrating the short time we have on this earth.
Barry's story begins on the 1st of September 1946, where he was born
the second of five children to parents Barbara and Hugh Gibb. In the
early 1960s Barry, and his twin brothers, Maurice and Robin, formed pop
group The Bee Gees, named in tribute to two people who helped launch
their career, racetrack promoter Bill Goode and a DJ named Bill Gates.
It was later changed to an acronym for the Brothers Gibb.
Barry and his family emigrated to Australia shortly after the birth of
youngest sibling Andy, and the Gibbs performed anywhere and everywhere
they could, in order to raise some pocket money. After securing a spot
performing on local television shows, they were eventually signed for a
record label in 1963. From the outset Barry was the primary creative
force behind the music of the Bee Gees, penning the majority of their
hit songs in the 1960s as well as countless other songs for other
artists. In the 1970s the was a drastic change to the dynamics of the
music industry, which saw singers from previous eras struggle to remain
relevant. Barry helped pave the way for the Bee Gees most memorable
decade, as he came up with the idea of performing in their now
trademark falsetto's, as well as helping to launch the career of his
youngest sibling, Andy Gibb. Barry became a mentor to the young Andy,
guiding him in his initial foray into the music industry, by penning
the majority of his hit singles.
The 1980s saw Barry struggle to remain relevant to the music industry,
as the onset of the electro-funk styling of bands such as INXS saw the
Bee Gees labeled as "uncool". Barry refused to be swayed by the Bee
Gees dwindling record sales, and continued to record as both part of
the Bee Gees, while also making his mark as a songwriter for other
artists, penning memorable hit songs for artists as diverse as Kenny
Rogers, Diana Ross and Olivia Newton-John. In 1988 Barry was
heartbroken when brother Andy Gibb succumbed to years of substance
abuse, and died at the age of 30. Just months before in was decided
that Andy would be joining the Bee Gees as the fourth member, and
Andy's death took a toll on Barry for the remainder of that decade, and
his musical creativity diminished.
While Barry continues to record in the early 90s, it wasn't until 1997
that the Bee Gees returned to the fore, with the critically hailed
"Still Waters" album. In late 1997 Barry, Robin and Maurice performed
the legendary "One Night Only" concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,
Nevada, United States, and the DVD recording of the concert has gone on
to become the highest selling music DVD in Australian history,
remaining on the ARIA DVD chart for over ten years.
In 2003 Maurice Gibb died of a cardiac arrest because of a congenital
birth defect, bringing to a close the forty year career of The Bee
Gees. However, Barry continues to remain in the public eye, as he has
become more politically active, as he has generated controversy for his
staunch criticism of the Schappelle Corby trial and lack of copyright
protection for sound recordings in the UK. Few singers can boast having
a number one record in five consecutive decades as Barry can, and with
artists such as Faith No More, Wyclef Jean and Ronan Keating covering
Barry's songs, Barry's timeless lyrics continue to reach out to a new
generation of listeners.- Actress

This blue-eyed beauty was born in Missouri. She started taking dance
classes at the age of two, and was performing in recitals and on stage
almost immediately. Her pursuit of dance continued through high school

with casting directors led to Adrienne being offered roles in two
network series. In fact, these were her first two auditions. She had
fallen in love with acting. At her parents' request, she put her new
career on hold to finish high school. Then, two days after graduation
she moved to Los Angeles to continue chasing her dream.

quickly moved on to the lead in the UPN series
As If (2002) , where she played Nikki,
the boy-obsessed college co-ed. From there she has continued to make
many appearances in film and TV and is sought after for her voiceover
work. Fortunate that she has never had a specific "type", Adrienne is
able to move seamlessly from comedy to drama and from one distinct role
to something completely different.
She is known for compelling performances that are brave, focused with
intensity, and grounded in sincerity. Adrienne continues to pursue her
passion and is striving to create a timeless career that can be
celebrated for the unique choices she makes and the diverse characters
she portrays. She surprises, delights and leaves you wanting more.- Actor
