Sara Maraffino is a Los Angeles-based actor originally from New York City. A working actor for more than 15 years in both New York and Los Angeles, with roles spanning across stage, television and screen, Sara brings uncompromising authenticity and honesty to the characters she plays.
Prior to graduating high school, Sara was awarded a scholarship to study advertising and marketing at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Feeling the gravitational pull of performing, she moved on after only one semester to attend Circle in the Square Theater School. Sara studied extensively, including the Stanislavski based methods of Meisner and Adler, as well Classic Shakespearean text and rhetoric and Elizabethan History. Intuition yielded validation, and so began Sara's professional career on the New York stage, landing several leading roles in numerous Off-Broadway productions, and on the Fringe Festival circuit. She also auditioned regularly for film and television, and consistently booked roles on stage and screen for the next six years in New York. Her stage credits included John Patrick Shanley's "Italian American Reconciliation," David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," Edward Allen Bakers' "Dolores" and Terence McNally's "Frankie & Johnny" at the Claire de Lune.
Sara then relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue film and television and booked her first pilot within only weeks of arriving. She continues to amass network television credits including past roles on The Mentalist, Pretty Little Liars and Mistresses; and roles in web series, shorts and features.
In her spare time, Sara enjoys photography, writing, walking in nature, cooking, antique shopping, working out, seeing live theatre, and most importantly spending quality time with her husband. She also enjoys studying French and New Age metaphysical teachings. Sara loves giving back to the community in any way she can and donates her time to Southern California Crossroads, an arts program that pairs working professionals with inner city teens. Sara is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ community, Marriage Equality and Transgender Equality. She also supports the Farm to Table Movement and Mental Health Awareness.- Actor

He wasn't a natural, instinctive talent but entertainer Ken Murray had solid breeding to rely on. Born in 1903 in New York City, his father was a vaudeville comic and Ken taught himself to dance, sing, tell jokes, and even perform rope tricks to try and get ahead. It paid off. Touring in an act with his first wife, Ken was soon headlining the Palace during the declining days of vaudeville. At first a hobby, Ken found another lucrative outlet when he went to Hollywood and bought a 16mm home movie camera to take shots of home and family. As his name around town increased, so did the quality of his subjects, which now included famous movie stars who mugged willingly for the camera. By the mid 1930s, his movies were being utilized by Columbia in a short subject series called "Screen Snapshots", clips that are still used today for documentaries and retrospects.
In 1942, Ken appeared as producer, star and overall ringleader of the stage show "Ken Murray's Blackouts", a strange blend of risqué humor, well-proportioned young starlets, musical interludes and novelty acts that ran for many years. In fact, it set a record at the time for the longest running show in the history of Los Angeles (7 years, 3,844 performances). It became an absolute must-see during WWII.
He received a special Academy Award in 1947 for "novel and entertaining use of the medium". Ken hosted his own TV show, The Ken Murray Show (1950), between 1950 and 1953. He worked in Las Vegas showrooms as well in the 50s, managing a few acting roles on the side, notably The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). The showman with the distinct crew cut penned his autobiography "Life on a Pogo Stick" in 1960. In 1979 he edited his home movies into a film anthology called "Ken Murray's Shooting Stars".
He had four children, two boys and two girls -- his son Cort was a professional singer at one time.
Ken died at age 85 in Burbank, California.- Alaia Baldwin was born on 23 January 1993 in Nyack, New York, USA. She is an actress, known for DJ B: Party All The Time, Let's Celebrate! (Hey Hey) (2013). She has been married to Andrew Aronow since 2 September 2017.

Being an avid fan (and practically student) of early film comedy, he was often allowed to bolster the musical comedy scripts with his own gags and ad-libs. During the run of one such production, Anthony was spotted by an outside director and recruited to devise and perform Buster Keaton-style visual gags and slapstick comic relief for an off-Broadway musical comedy revue. He continued acting on the stage throughout his college years and in multiple community theater productions before attending the New York Film Academy in Manhattan in the fall of 2000. During his tenure there, he wrote, directed, produced and starred in the five short films "Just An Accident", "Swallowing The Faith", "King In The Sabbath World", "The Captive" (all 2000) and "Anthony Gargano's Initial Sin" (2001). He also appeared in a slew of other short films for various student directors there. Since leaving the Academy, Anthony has continued to perform in short film projects including "Brown Water" (2002) and "Lover From Beyond The Grave" (2006) for fellow N.Y. Film Academy alumni Thomas Iuso. Anthony credits comic filmmakers such as Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton as influences as well as the many comedy teams of the 1930s and 40s (Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the Marx Brothers, etc.). The work of Woody Allen, however, remains his biggest influence of all. Anthony currently resides in New York and continues to study acting under the inspiring Bruce Ornstein.

Kenn Rowell is the front man for the veteran indie rock band The Baghdaddios. Born in Nyack, New York he moved the band's base of operation to New York City in 2000 and continues to release albums with his group and as a solo artist. He has collaborated with seminal indie group The Bongos' former front man, Richard Barone, EMI alumna Patti Rothberg and shared stage time with such diverse talents such as steel-guitar legend Buddy Cage, Hanoi Rocks and New York Dolls' bassist Sami Yaffa and speed-metal gods Fates Warning.
Rowell writes most of The Baghdaddios' songs, sings lead and plays rhythm guitar. He is credited for co-production on each of the band's releases.
Starting in 1997 Rowell founded the Blank-Fest benefit concert series, which raises blankets for NYC's homeless with an annual show, held in his native Nyack within the first two weeks of December, serving as the concert's main organizer and MC. Each year, starting on Christmas Eve he and other concert volunteers distribute the blankets raised at the concert, directly to the City's less fortunate. In recent years satellite Blank-Fest concerts have been founded in Nottingham, England (UK), Toronto, Canada, Racine, WI, Northern New Jersey, the state of Florida and Richmond, VA. Sources estimate that in the 16 years since the concert series' inception that over 10,000 total donations have been raised for the homeless, spread across these multiple cities in three countries.
Rowell, along with his band, The Baghdaddios, have been the subject of several music videos, including the self-produced "This Job Sucks" (2002), "Gutwrench" (2006), by alternative video and media director Kroy Aziani, "Reject" (2012) by Gary Weber and solo videos "How Low" and "Noodle" (both 2007), both directed by NYC-based film director Art Leal and the panoramic "This Old Soul" (2011), directed by Spanish-born filmmaker Wilhelm Scholz. His caricature was featured in the animated music video for The Baghdaddios "Christmas At C.B.G.B.s" (2004), which has enjoyed extensive underground and Internet exposure for the last several Holiday Seasons.
Currently (2015), Rowell is producing his first solo album, tentatively titled "Instant Solo Album", scheduled for release in early 2015. In addition to several music videos that are also scheduled for release at the same time, the album will be produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Bob Pollard, George Griggs) and will feature more acoustic and musically scaled-down tunes as a marked contrast to earlier Baghdaddios releases, which featured more of an old-school punk aesthetic.- She grew up in Haverstraw, New York and relocated to Wellington, Florida when she was 12.
