Belle was born as Camilla Belle Routh in Los Angeles, California, to
Deborah, a fashion designer, and Jack Wesley Routh, who composed
country music and owns a construction company. Her mother is Brazilian
and her father, who is from Kingman, Kansas, has English, German, and
French ancestry. Camilla is an only child. She was named after a
character played by Renata Sorrah in her
mother's favorite Brazilian soap opera
Cavalo de Aço (1973). However,
most people call her by her middle name Belle.
She went to St Paul's Catholic Elementary School in West Los Angeles
and, afterwards, attended the elite all-girls Marlborough School in Los
Angeles. At school, she studied classical piano and was fond of
languages. She can speak fluent Portuguese.
Camilla appeared in a national print commercial before the age of 1. At
age 5, she appeared in two TV movies
Trouble Shooters: Trapped Beneath the Earth (1993)
and Empty Cradle (1993).
Because of her work, she had never completed a full year of school. So,
at age 13, she took time off to focus on her studies. She returned to
work when she was age 16, with a main role in the film
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005).
The role that provided her first major exposure was
Roland Emmerich's
10,000 BC (2008).
From 2006 to 2008, she got a taste of her mother's world with some
fashion jobs - she modeled for Vera Wang's Princess fragrance.

Samantha Barks was born in Laxey, Isle of Man (British Isles) in 1990.
She is a British actress best known for the role of Éponine in Les
Misérables. In 2008, Samantha competed in I'd Do Anything in which she
was one of the finalists in a search for a new, unknown lead to play
Nancy in a West End revival of the British musical Oliver!. After the

received many accolades for her performances. But her big shot was in
2011, when she won the legendary role of Éponine in the film adaptation
of Les Misérables, which was also her first movie.- Although Lani O'Grady retired from acting in the '80s to become a
talent agent like her mother, she had long secured her place in the TV
Land pantheon as Mary, the brainiac wannabe doctor in
Eight Is Enough (1977)'s
expansive Bradford brood. The dramedy, starring
Dick Van Patten as a newspaper columnist
and superdad, ran on ABC from 1977-1981. In addition to her four-year
stint on the show and two late-'80s reunion specials, O'Grady racked up
appearances on such other '70s tube staples as
The Love Boat (1977), as well
as TV movies like
The Kid with the Broken Halo (1982),
before leaving Hollywood.
She had been dogged by health and pill problems dating back to her Mary
Bradford days. In a series of interviews in the 1990s, she admitted to
having suffered panic attacks for the previous 20 years. Scores of
doctors misdiagnosed her; to cope with the frequent anxiety
episodes--sometimes she'd shake so badly she couldn't leave her
dressing room to shoot a scene--she was fed a veritable pharmacy:
Xanax, Valium and Librium. She became hooked on the pills and,
eventually, alcohol, too. She went into rehab at least five times. By
the mid-'90s she declared herself clean, thanks to an
alternative-medicine regimen, and even went to work for her doctor as a
recovery counselor. However, in 1998 she checked herself into the
mental health ward of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for
detox. She had become hooked on a prescription drug called Ativan.
While in Cedars she claimed she was sexually battered by a medical
technician and sued the hospital. The suit was pending at the time of
her death.
O'Grady came from a show-biz family. Her brother,
Don Grady, was an original Mouseketeer
and member of another notable TV family--he played Robbie on
My Three Sons (1960). Her
mother, Mary Grady, was an agent who represented several child actors.
Born Lanita Rose Agrati on October 2, 1954, she changed her name once
she landed her "Eight Is Enough" gig. Her first professional role came
at the age of 13, when she made a brief appearance in the TV western
The High Chaparral (1967).
She died on September 25, 2001, at her home in Valencia, CA, just a
week shy of her 47th birthday. - Lucy Cohu was born on 2 October 1968 in Swindon, Wiltshire, England, UK. She is an actress, known for Becoming Jane (2007), Gosford Park (2001) and The Queen's Sister (2005). She was previously married to Corey Johnson.

Actually, she was almost born in a taxi on the Brooklyn Bridge but traffic was good that day so she made her actual debut at Beth Israel hospital in New York City. Her parents, both professional actors, owned and ran legit theaters, in Aspen, Atlanta and Syracuse and had a very practical philosophy: "If you have children, use them."

Even after starring in countless TV series and films, the stage remains Robin's favorite version of soul food.

Looking at Joseph Baena's physique, you'd expect to see him on stage somewhere posing during a bodybuilding competition. But what he really envisions for himself is becoming a successful leading man in Hollywood.
His passion for the film industry started a few years ago when the 25-year-old son of Arnold Schwartzenegger starred in a two-minute short film that was a shot-by-shot remake of the iconic "T2" scene where the cyborg steals a motorcycle, takes the owner's rifle and snatches his shades. Since then, Joseph has appeared in the John Malkovich sci-fi thriller "Chariot" (2022), as well as "Bully High" (2022), a coming of age drama that tackles some of today's more controversial issues, including religious prejudice, sexual orientation, and bullying.
Joseph says each onscreen role he's taken so far "has been a totally different experience," adding that "Bully High" particularly helped him learn about "creativity that goes into each scene" in a movie.
His other projects include "Called to Duty: The Last Airshow" and "Lava," both of which are in post-production.
According to his mentor and acting coach, Eric Morris, "Joseph is on his own journey, with his own specific obstacles. He's beautifully evolving. As he matures and gets more training, he'll take on more complex roles."
Some of Joseph's other major accomplishments over the past year or so have included being featured in a "Men's Health" cover story (March 2022), as well as competing on the 31st season of "Dancing with the Stars."- Actor

From a dry, intelligent teenager with a dark sense of humor navigating the waters of her parents divorce, to portraying one of the most notable former members of Charles Manson's commune, to a 16-year-old girl who embarks on a nation-wide killing spree of the country's dumbest, most irritating celebrities, Tara Lynne Barr has quickly become known in the entertainment industry for the complex characters she has brought to life in film and on television.
Tara is best known for her starring role in Hulu and Lionsgate Television's original comedy series Casual (2015). Executive produced by Jason Reitman, Tara is a scene stealer as Laura, the sarcastic yet wise and witty daughter of Valerie (Michaela Watkins). The series follows a bachelor brother (Tommy Dewey) and his newly divorced sister (Watkins) as they navigate the crazy world of dating while living together and raising a teenager. Casual premiered in October 2015 to critical acclaim, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. In addition to working with Hulu, Tara was also seen throughout the summer of 2015 on NBC's 1960's thriller-drama series Aquarius (2015). She appeared opposite Golden Globe winner David Duchovny, who stars as a police sergeant in Los Angeles who embarks on an undercover investigation of a cult leader: Charles Manson. Tara portrayed the character of Katie on the show, who was based on real life Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel.
Tara made her feature film debut in the award-winning independent film God Bless America (2011), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011. Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, Tara commanded the screen as Roxy, a 16-year old girl who teams up with terminally ill Frank (played by Joel Murray), and heads out on a mission to rid society of its most repellent citizens. The film, which has since gone on to become a cult hit, was nominated for an Audience Award at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival, and Tara earned a Young Artist Award nomination as Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film for her work in the project. In 2014, Tara once again made waves in the indie scene (in another 1960's period piece) starring as the title character in the short film Dawn, Rose McGowan's directorial debut. The dark and dramatic film premiered at Sundance, and was nominated for the Short Film Grand Jury Prize.
Born and raised in Orange County, California, Tara got her start in theater at the age of seven. She was instantly drawn to the stage, and loved bringing diverse characters to life. Although acting quickly became her passion, she also desired a sense of normalcy and realized early on that driving back and forth from the OC to Los Angeles took up a ton of time from school. She dabbled in the Disney and Nickelodeon world growing up and appeared on a handful of series, however at the end of the day, she wanted to wait to seriously pursue a career in acting until after graduating from high school. Shortly before graduation, Tara booked God Bless America (2011), and she has been working ever since.
While working in television and film are two of Tara's greatest passions, she also has a love of music. She sings, is a self-taught guitar player, and has hopes to learn how to play the bass in the near future. Tara is a fan of the arts, she loves plays, musicals, supporting local theater, and reading crime mystery novels. She also is a big fan of horror films, from classic to contemporary, she tries to see them all. Tara currently lives in the Los Angeles area.- Akira Akbar was born on 2 October 2006 in the USA.

Larry Sellers was a Native American actor and stuntman of Osage and Cherokee descent and an adopted member of the Lakota nation. Sellers became known for his regular role as Cloud Dancing in the popular CBS hit series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993). He also worked in the capacity of technical advisor on the show, notably on linguistic aspects. Other roles saw Sellers portraying a Comanche in Lightning Jack (1994), a Cheyenne Sheriff in Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) and a Native American casino owner in an episode of The Sopranos (1999).
At the age of 28, Sellers had a vision which prompted him to study the traditional Sun Dance of the Plains Indians and implement its reintroduction to the Osage people. A ceremony of great religious significance, this ritual was designed as supplication to the Great Spirit in order to ensure the tribe's overall welfare. Traditionally, it also bestowed greater merit to individuals who underwent the physically harder aspects, which included four days of prayer and dancing while deprived of food and water. Sellers was said to have turned down an offer to appear in Kevin Costner's epic Dances with Wolves (1990) because he was not given the four days required to complete the Sun Dance ceremony.
Larry Sellers presided over a non-profit organization for the preservation of the Osage language, and, from 2004, operated the Missionary Society for the Preservation of Traditional Values which aims to uphold and/or revive spiritual values and heritage. He latterly resided in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, a town named after a prominent 28th century chief and seat of the Osage tribal government. He passed away on December 9, 2021, at the age of 72.- Actress
