Farrah Fawcett is a true Hollywood success story. Born in Texas,
she was the daughter of Pauline Fawcett (Pauline Alice Evans), a homemaker, and
James Fawcett, an oil field
contractor. She was a natural athlete, something that her father
encouraged, and she attended a high school with a strong arts program.
She attended the University of Texas in Austin, graduating with a degree in
Microbiology, but only wanted to be an actress.
Winning a campus beauty contest got her noticed by an agent, who
encouraged her to pursue acting. After graduating, she moved to Los
Angeles and her healthy, all-American blond beauty was immediately
noticed. She quickly got roles in various television commercials for
such products as Ultra-Brite toothpaste, and Wella Balsam shampoo, and
also made appearances in some TV series. In 1968, she met another Southerner, actor
Lee Majors, star of the popular TV
series The Big Valley (1965), on a blind date set up by their publicists. He became very taken with her and also used his own standing to
promote her career. In 1969, she made her film debut in Love Is a Funny Thing (1969). The next year, she appeared in the film
adaptation of the Gore Vidal bestselling novel
Myra Breckinridge (1970). The
shooting was very unpleasant, with much feuding on the set, and Farrah
was embarrassed by the finished film, which was a major failure. But
Farrah was undamaged and continued to win roles. In 1973, she and
Majors married, and the following year, she won a recurring role in the
crime series, Harry O (1973). She had
her first taste of major success when she won a supporting role in the
science fiction film,
Logan's Run (1976). She came to the
attention of the highly successful producer
Aaron Spelling, who was impressed by her
beauty and vivacious personality. That won her a role in the TV series,
Charlie's Angels (1976). She
played a private investigator who works for a wealthy and mysterious
businessman, along with two other glamorous female detectives, played
by Kate Jackson and
Jaclyn Smith. The show immediately
became the most popular series on television, earning record ratings
and a huge audience. All three actresses became very popular, but
Farrah became, by far, the best known. She won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Performer in a New TV program in 1977. Her lush, free-wheeling, wavy blond hair also became a phenomenon, with millions of women begging their hairstylists to give them "The Farrah", as her hairstyle was called. Fawcett was also a savvy businesswoman, and she received 10% profit from the proceeds of her famous poster in a red swimsuit. It sold millions and she became the "It Girl" of the 1970s.
Fawcett was America's sweetheart and found herself on every celebrity
magazine and pursued by photographers and fans. While she enjoyed the
success and got along well with her co-stars (both of whom were also of
Southern origin), she found the material lightweight. Also, the long
hours she worked were beginning to take a toll on her marriage to
Majors, who found himself eclipsed by her popularity. So the following
year, when the show was at its peak, she left to pursue a movie career.
Charlie's Angels' producers sued her, and the studios shied away from her, and she lost out on the lead role in the hit feature film Foul Play (1978) to Goldie Hawn. Eventually, she and the Charlie's Angels producers reached a settlement, where she would make guest appearances on the series. As a result of the negative publicity
and some poor script choices, her career briefly hit a slow spot. In
addition, she and Majors separated in 1979. She had starring roles in
Somebody Killed Her Husband (1978),
Sunburn (1979), and
Saturn 3 (1980) (which she did a topless
scene in), but all three failed financially. She appeared in the
Burt Reynolds chase comedy
The Cannonball Run (1981),
which was successful financially, but it was met not only with bad reviews but also with bad publicity when Farrah's stunt double Heidi Von Beltz was involved in a stunt that went horribly wrong and left her a quadriplegic. Farrah's feature film career came to a halt, and she and Majors were drifting apart. In
1981, she met Ryan O'Neal, a friend
of her husband's, and they began became friends and spent a great deal
of time together. He also encouraged her to go back to television and she received good reviews in the well-received miniseries, Murder in Texas (1981). In 1982, she filed for divorce, which Majors readily
agreed to. Soon, she and O'Neal were a couple and moved in together. She set on sights on becoming a serious dramatic actress. She took over for Susan Sarandon in the stage play, "Extremities", where she played a rape victim who turns the tables on her rapist. That, in turn, led her to her major comeback, when she starred in the searing story of a
battered wife in
The Burning Bed (1984),
based on a true story. It garnered a very large audience, and critics
gave her the best reviews she had ever received for her heartfelt
performance. She was nominated for both an Emmy and Golden Globe and also
became involved in helping organizations for battered women. The
following year, she and O'Neal became the parents of a son, Redmond O'Neal. She tried to continue her momentum with a starring role in the feature film adaptation of Extremities (1986), and while she
garnered a Golden Globe nomination, the film, itself, was not a hit.
She continued to seek out serious roles, appearing mainly on
television. She scored success again in
Small Sacrifices (1989),
again based on a true crime. Portraying an unhappy woman who is so
obsessed with the man she loves that she shoots her children to make
herself available and disguises it as a carjacking, Farrah again won
rave reviews and helped draw a large audience, and was nominated for an
Emmy again. Shortly afterwards, she and O'Neal co-starred in
Good Sports (1991), playing a
couple who co-star in a sports news program, but O'Neal's performance
was lambasted and only 9 episodes were aired. In 1995, she surprised
her fans by posing for "Playboy" at the age of 48, it became the
magazine's best-selling issue of that decade.
Her relationship with O'Neal was deteriorating, however, and in 1997,
they broke up. The breakup took a toll, and she posed for Playboy again at the age of 50. To promote it, she appeared on
Late Show with David Letterman (1993)
and gave a rambling interview, sparking rumors of drug use. That same
year, however, she made another comeback in
The Apostle (1997), playing the
neglected wife of a Pentacostal preacher, played by
Robert Duvall. Both stars were praised and
the film became a surprise hit. She also began dating
James Orr, who had directed her earlier in the feature film, Man of the House (1995). An incident occurred between them in 1998, and Farrah suffered injuries. The scandal
drew nationwide headlines, especially after the tabloids published photos of Farrah with her injuries. The authorities compelled Fawcett to testify against Orr in court, and he was found guilty of assault and given a minimum sentence. Embarrassed, she lowered
her profile and her career lost momentum, but she continued to work in
television and films. She and O'Neal also started seeing each other
again, when he was diagnosed with leukemia. The new millennium brought her highs and lows. In 2000, she acted with Richard Gere in Robert Altman's film, Dr. T & the Women (2000). Her son Redmond has had problems with drug abuse and has been in and out of jail. In 2001, she lost her only sister, Diane Fawcett Walls, to cancer. In 2004, she received her third Emmy
nomination for her performance in
The Guardian (2003), and she starred in her own reality show, titled Chasing Farrah (2005), in 2005 along with Ryan O'Neal, but that ended after only 7 episodes. That same year, she was devastated when her beloved mother, Pauline Fawcett, died. In 2006, producer Aaron Spelling died, and she famously reunited with her Charlie's Angels co-stars, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, at the Emmys, in a tribute to him. She looked tan and healthy, but soon, she was diagnosed with anal cancer. She asked her friend Alana Stewart to accompany her and videotape her during her doctor's visits. Those video journals resulted in the documentary Farrah's Story (2009), co-executive produced by Fawcett. It aired in 2009, and viewers were shocked to see Farrah with a shaved head and in a continuous state of pain. Ryan O'Neal and Alana Stewart were constantly by her side, and her Charlie's Angels co-stars, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, also visited her, marking the final time that all three original Angels appeared together on television. The documentary became a ratings success, and it earned a Emmy nomination as Outstanding Nonfiction Special. On June 25, 2009 Farrah lost her battle with cancer and passed away at aged 62. She left the bulk of her estate to her only son Redmond, and her trust fund allowed for the creation of The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which provides funding for cancer research and prevention.
Alana Stewart is the president of the Foundation and Jaclyn Smith's husband Dr. Brad Allen is one of the Board of Directors. Ryan O'Neal and Farrah's nephew, Greg Walls, are also on the Advisory Board, keeping alive her legacy.- Actor

Brent Spiner, whose primary claim to fame is his portrayal of the
beloved android Data on the television series
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987),
was born and raised in Houston, Texas. His parents, Sylvia (Schwartz) and Jack Spiner, owned and operated a furniture store, and were both from Jewish immigrant families (from Austria, Hungary, and Russia). Jack died of kidney
failure at age 29, when Brent was 10 months old. When he was 6 years
old, his mother married Sol Mintz, who adopted Brent and his older
brother Ron. Although his mother divorced Mintz after 7 years of
marriage, Brent retained his adopted father's last name until 1975, when
he took back his birth name.
Spiner first began pursuing his interest in acting while in high
school. There his inspirational drama teacher, Cecil Pickett, gave a
great start to the careers of a remarkable group of aspiring young
actors (and directors), including Spiner,
Cindy Pickett (Cecil's daughter),
Randy Quaid,
Dennis Quaid,
Trey Wilson,
Robert Wuhl and
Thomas Schlamme, all of whom
later attained success in Hollywood. After graduation, Spiner followed
his mentor to the University of Houston and other local colleges, while
also launching his professional acting career in theater (The Houston
Music Theater and other regional theater) and in film
(My Sweet Charlie (1970),
which was shot on location in Texas). After a couple of false starts in
New York and Hollywood, Spiner eventually established himself as a
stage actor in New York, appearing in a number of off-Broadway and
Broadway plays, such as "A History of the American Film" (1978), "Leave
It to Beaver is Dead" (1979), "Sunday in the Park with George" (1984),
and "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1985). While in
New York, he had a bit part in Woody Allen's
Stardust Memories (1980) and
starred in an independent film called
Rent Control (1981). The play
"Little Shop of Horrors "brought Spiner to Los Angeles in 1984, where
he eventually took up permanent residence.
In 1986, after a number of character parts in television series and
movies, such as
Robert Kennedy and His Times (1985),
Crime of Innocence (1985),
Manhunt for Claude Dallas (1986),
and Family Sins (1987),
Spiner snagged the role that would bring him international fame: Data,
the endearing android, whom Spiner played "by tapping into his inner
child."
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987),
the sequel to the original television series
Star Trek (1966), became hugely
popular, moving to the big screen for four films (so far) after its
7-year run on television. Aside from these films, Spiner has made cameo
appearances in a number of films directed by his friend and old
schoolmate Thomas Schlamme, such
as Miss Firecracker (1989),
Crazy from the Heart (1991),
and
Kingfish: A Story of Huey P. Long (1995),
and has appeared in small roles in more recent films, such as
Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)
and
The Master of Disguise (2002).
Arguably his most popular film portrayal was Dr. Brakish Okun in
Independence Day (1996), a role
that elicited his unique eccentricity and sense of humor. He reprised the character in the sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence (2016).- Actress

Jennifer is an American actress and filmmaker, who is perhaps best
known for writing and starring in the indie hits,
Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)
and Friends with Kids (2011).
A graduate from Yale University, Jennifer started her career as a New
York-based theater actor, starring in over 25 off-Broadway and regional
productions, before coming to Hollywood in 1997. Within weeks of her
arrival, she landed a series regular role in ABC's
Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place (1998),
alongside Ryan Reynolds,
Traylor Howard and
Richard Ruccolo. That same year, she
co-wrote and starred in an off-Broadway play, with
Heather Juergensen, called
"Lipschtick: The Story of Two Women Seeking The Perfect Shade", that
caught the attention of Hollywood studios. The play was optioned by
"Radar Pictures" to be made into a film, starring Westfeldt and
Juergensen.
After one season on "Two Guys", 20th Century Fox Studios pulled
Jennifer from that show to cast her as the lead of another show for
them, the short-lived
Holding the Baby (1998) on
Fox.
While Westfeldt was busy shooting sitcoms, she and Juergensen were also
hard at work, developing their play into a screenplay. Frustrated by
the slow pace of studio development, they bought back the rights to
their script and decided to make their film independently, on a
shoestring budget. The film was
Kissing Jessica Stein (2001).
"Kissing Jessica Stein" was snapped up by "Fox Searchlight", when it
debuted at the LA International Film Festival, then was released to
critical acclaim in March of 2002. Jennifer received the Golden
Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her role as
"Jessica", an Indie Spirit Nomination for Best First Screenplay, and a
Special Jury Prize for Writing and Acting at the Los Angeles
International Film Festival. The film won the Audience Award for Best
Feature at the Los Angeles International Film Festival, the Audience
Favorites Award at the Chicago International Film Festival, the
Audience Award at the Miami Film Festival, Best Feature at the
Louisville Jewish Film Festival, and the GLAAD Media Award.
Jennifer continued to work steadily in television, starring in pilots
for the WB

opposite Chris Eigeman in 2001), F/X (The
untitled Paul Reiser pilot in 2002),

Dante (2005) in 2005), and doing
recurring and guest roles on
Judging Amy (1999),
Hack (2002),
Numb3rs (2005) and
Snoops (1999). She also starred in the
indie,
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (2004)
(aka "How To Lose Your Lover"), in 2004, opposite
Paul Schneider.
She made her Broadway debut, in the fall of 2003, in the critical and
commercial hit, "Wonderful Town", starring opposite two-time Tony

David Jason was born in Edmonton, London, in 1940. He has become one of
Britain's most famous, versatile and respected actors, who
is most famous for his role in Only Fools and Horses (1981) as Del Boy. He made his
debut in the series in 1981 and was still playing the same role up to
the Christmas special in 2002. His big break came in the 1967
children's comedy show Do Not Adjust Your Set (1967) starring alongside members of the Monty
Python team: Terry Jones; Eric Idle, and Michael Palin.
Sadly, in 1990, he spent time away from work to nurse Myfanwy Talog, the
Welsh actress who was his long time partner, before she died of cancer
at the age of 49. He has come a long way from his days as an
electrician and has won numerous awards for his work. He has managed to
combine the comedy aspect of his career with rather more serious roles,
such as that of Jack Frost in the highly-rated detective series A Touch of Frost (1992)
and has proved that he is a man of many talents. In the mid 1970s, he performed as Blanco, an elderly prisoner, in episodes of
Porridge (1974) with Ronnie Barker. He has also done voice work in children's TV.
He has not really concentrated on films, although he was very
impressive in the TV film All the King's Men (1999), playing Frank Beck, the
Commander of the Sandringham Company who mysteriously disappeared
whilst in action in The Great War campaign in Gallipoli in 1915.
He lives in Buckinghamshire with his wife, Gill Hinchcliffe and their
daughter, Sophie Mae, who was born in 2001. His hobbies are a little
DIY and gardening. He was knighted in 2005, becoming Sir David Jason.- Actor

A brash, sharp-tongued, incorrigible actress/singer who led a six decade career that contained many highs and lows, veteran Elaine Stritch's raucous six-decade career certainly lived up well to the Stephen Sondheim song lyrics "I'm Still Here." A popular, magnetic performer, she stole so many moments on stage she could have been convicted of grand larceny This tough old bird approached her octogenarian years with still-shapely legs, a puffy blonde hairdo, a deep, whiskey voice and enough sardonic bluster and bravado to convince anyone that she would be around forever.
The Detroit-born (February 2, 1925) Elaine Stritch was the daughter of a B.F. Goodrich executive, of Irish/Welsh heritage, and the youngest of three sisters. Educated locally at Sacred Heart Convent and Duschesne Residence Finishing School, she prepared for the stage at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School where fellow "school mates" included Marlon Brando. She made her first appearance at the New School as a tiger and a cow in a 1944 children's production entitled "Babino," then followed it the following year with the part of a parlor maid in "The Private Life of the Master Race."
Elaine made it to Broadway in October 1946 as "Pamela Brewster" in "Loco" at the Biltmore Theatre. Taking over the part of "Miss Crowder" in "Made in Heaven" after that, she finished off the decade appearing in such theatre productions as "Three Indelicate Ladies," "The Little Foxes" (as Regina), the revue "Angel in the Wings" and "Yes M'Lord."
From the 1950's on, Elaine would become the toast of both Broadway and (later) London's West End, earning award-worthy acclaim on both continents over the years. Starting with a tour of "Pal Joey" (as Melba) in 1952, she followed this success with such shows as "Call Me Madam" (as Sally); "On Your Toes" (as Peggy); "Bus Stop" (Tony nom: as waitress Grace), "The Sin of Pat Muldoon" (as Gertrude); "Goldilocks" (as Maggie); "Sail Away!" (Tony nom, and also London debut as Mimi); "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (as Martha); "The King and I" (as Anna); "The Grass Harp" (as Babylove); "Wonderful Town" (as Ruth); "Private Lives" (as Amanda); "Mame" (as Vera, then Mame); "Company" (Tony-nom: as Joanne); "Small Craft Warnings" (as Leona); "The Gingerbread Lady" (as Evy); "Show Boat" (Drama Desk Award: as Parthy); and "A Delcate Balance" (Tony-nom, Drama Desk Award: as Claire). Through sheer personality alone, her cacophonous singing voice miraculously took classic songs from, among others, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart to Noël Coward and Stephen Sondheim and put her own indelibly raucous stamp on them.
Oddly, Elaine never made the same kind of impact on film. Nevertheless, she appeared in an armful of supports over the years, growing increasingly abrasive, in such movies as The Scarlet Hour (1956), Three Violent People (1956), A Farewell to Arms (1957), The Perfect Furlough (1958), Kiss Her Goodbye (1959), Who Killed Teddy Bear (1965), Too Many Thieves (1966), The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker (1970), The Spiral Staircase (1975), Providence (1977), September (1987), Cocoon: The Return (1988), Cadillac Man (1990), Out to Sea (1997), Krippendorf's Tribe (1998), Screwed (2000), Small Time Crooks (2000); Autumn in New York (2000), Monster-in-Law (2005), ParaNorman (2012) and River of Fundament (2014)
The actress fared somewhat better on early TV. She appeared as one of the Paynes in the early Dumont family comedy series The Growing Paynes (1948), and made appearances on several anthology series ("Kraft Theatre," "Goodyear Playhouse," "The Alcoa Hour," "The Dupont Show of the Month"). A few guest spots also decorated her small screen resume, including "Mister Peepers," "Adventures in Paradise" and "Wagon Train". In the 60's, Elaine returned to the series format, but only enjoyed single season life on three: My Sister Eileen (1960), as Ruth Sherwood; the acclaimed The Trials of O'Brien (1965) as lawyer Peter Falk's secretary "Miss G."; and as Ellen Burstyn's derisive mother on The Ellen Burstyn Show (1986).
In 1973, Elaine married English actor John Bay and moved to London. While there she appeared in a number of plays/musicals and then played an American authoress in the British comedy series Two's Company (1975) co-starring Donald Sinden as the butler. When she returned to America in the early 80's, she returned alone.
At age 76, a razor-sharp Elaine captivated audiences in a candid one woman musical stage memoir that would win her the Tony, Drama Desk, Obie, Outer Circle Critics and New York Drama Critics awards. Elaine Stritch at Liberty (2002) show also chronicled her notorious private life, combative nature, which included a long bout with the bottle (to curb her stage fright), and a destructive relationship with fellow alcoholic Gig Young. Add to that a fair share of Hollywood gossip all cleverly packaged up with raw wit and show-stopping patter songs and you had quintessential Elaine Stritch. Truly one of a kind, she would eventually be inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1995.
Other memorable TV appearances included her Aunt Polly in the mini-series Pollyanna (1973); a 1984 continuing role on the daytime soaper The Edge of Night (1956); the role of Ouisar in the TV movie version of Steel Magnolias (1990); and three Emmy Award-winning portrayals -- as a guest on "Law & Order," for the 2004 TV documentary of her one-woman triumph, and for a recurring character on the hit sitcom 30 Rock (2006).

D.C. Douglas has built a fascinating and unconventional acting career spanning stage, screen, and the world of video games since 1985.
On the big and small screens, D.C. has made memorable appearances in peculiar and cult indie films like Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014) and Black Ops (2008), Aquarium of the Dead (2021) and Isle of the Dead (2016). As a TV "journeyman" he's guest-starred or recurred in over 50 shows, including Boston Common (1996), The Bold and the Beautiful (1987), Z Nation (2014) , and CSI: Vegas (2021).
Unexpectedly finding success in voice-over, D.C. stumbled into the field as a "career add-on" introduced to him by his commercial agent, Katy Wallin, in the early '90s. Notably, he's been featured in major commercial campaigns for Geico's "Real Person" series ('05-'08), Ashley Furniture Homestore ('03 - '06), and Experian ('16 - '18), alongside SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)'s Tom Kenny.
In the video game world, he's known as the conflicted Rayvis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023), the the heart-string-pulling Geth, Legion, in the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (2021) trilogy, the voice of the iconic villain, Albert Wesker, in "Resident Evil" games from 2007-2019, and Kamoshida in Persona 5 (2016).
His anime roles have garnered him a dedicated fanbase as well, with notable performances as Yoshikage Kira in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012), Wooden Sword Ryu in Shaman King (2021) and Praetorian in Super Crooks (2021). Cartoon highlights include Transformers: Rescue Bots (2011) and Regular Show (2010).
Originally from Berkeley, California, D.C. honed his craft in theater across the San Francisco Bay Area in the late '70s and early '80s. His family's rich history in the circus, vaudeville, and burlesque (thanks to his grandmother Grace Hathaway) led him to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles.
He received formal training at the Estelle Harman Actor's Workshop from '85 to '89 and was an integral part of the highly acclaimed New One-Act Theatre Ensemble (Theatre of NOTE) from '89 to '93, where he also produced several plays and a few cabaret shows in the '90s and 2000s.
D.C. has also written, produced and directed numerous short films over the years. Most notably was The Crooked Eye (2009), starring Academy Award winner Linda Hunt, which received several awards.
Politically, D.C. found himself in the spotlight in 2010 when he mocked the Tea Party movement on social media, garnering both fans and detractors. His appearances on Fox News' Geraldo Rivera Reports (2003) and CNN's Joy Behar: Say Anything! (2009), further fueled the buzz.
This newfound popularity led him to create satirical political videos poking fun at bigotry ("Burn A Koran Day"), online misogyny Anne Thériault's the Feminist in the Wild (2015), and corporate greed ("Why #OccupyWallStreet" which was aired on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell (2010)). During the Trump years he wrote, produced and directed 19 episodes of Breaking News: Fake Trump Cartoons! (2017) featuring the voices of many popular voice actors, including Jason Marsden, Maurice LaMarche, Steve Blum, and Robbie Daymond.
Thanks to his popularity among video game and anime enthusiasts, D.C. frequently makes appearances at anime and culture conventions. Alongside countless appearances in the US, he has participated in events in Canada, the UK, Australia, and the Middle East.- Actor
