Christopher Lloyd is an American actor with a relatively long career. His better known roles include drug-using taxicab driver Jim Ignatowski in the sitcom Taxi (1978), Klingon Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), inventor Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990), the evil Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), and deranged Uncle Fester in The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993).
Lloyd was born on October 22, 1938 in Stamford, Connecticut. His parents were lawyer Samuel R. Lloyd and singer Ruth Lapham (1896-1984). His maternal uncle was politician Roger Lapham, Mayor of San Francisco (1883-1966, term 1944-1948). His maternal grandfather was businessman Lewis Henry Lapham (1858-1934), co-founder of Texaco Oil Company. Lloyd is a distant descendant of indentured servant John Howland (c. 1592-1673), one of the passengers of the ship Mayflower and signers of the Mayflower Compact.
Lloyd was raised in the town Westport, Connecticut, which changed from a community of farmers to a suburban development during the 20th century. Many artists and writers from New York City settled in the town. Lloyd was educated at Staples High School. He was a co-founder of the Staples Players, the school's theatre company. Lloyd was interested in an acting career, and served as an apprentice at summer theaters in Mount Kisco, New York and Hyannis, Massachusetts. In 1957, he started pursuing acting classes in New York City. He took lessons at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, a full-time professional conservatory for actors. His acting teacher was Sanford Meisner (1905-1997), eponymous creator of the Meisner technique.
Lloyd made his New York theatrical debut in a 1961 production of the play "And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers" by Fernando Arrabal (1932-). He was reportedly a replacement for another actor. He made his Broadway debut in a 1969 performance of Red, White and Maddox (1969). Until the mid-1970s, Lloyd was primarily a theatrical actor. He performed both on Off-Broadway shows and in Broadway. Lloyd made his film debut in the role of psychiatric patient Max Taber in the drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). His first major role in television was drug-using taxicab driver Jim Ignatowski in the sitcom Taxi (1978). His character was an aging hippie, son of an affluent Boston family , and former student of Harvard University. Ignatowski was one of the sitcom's most colorful characters and Lloyd won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, Lloyd played most of his most notable film roles. Lloyd was first nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor, for his role as Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown in Back to the Future (1985). The award was instead won by rival actor Roddy McDowall (1928-1998). He was nominated for the same award for his role as the evil Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988). The award was instead won by rival actor Robert Loggia (1930-2015). Lloyd also performed as a voice actor, voicing the evil sorcerer Merlock in DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) and historical figure Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916) in Anastasia (1997). Lloyd had another notable television role when cast in the role of villain Sebastian Jackal in the sci-fi series Deadly Games (1995). He also played the character Dr. Jordan Kenneth Lloyd, the despised father of the series' protagonist Dr. Gus Lloyd (played by James Calvert).
Lloyd's last notable film role in the 1990s was playing the Martian Uncle Martin in My Favorite Martian (1999). The film was an adaptation of the classic sitcom My Favorite Martian (1963), and the character was previously played by Ray Walston (1914-2001). The film under-performed at the box office. In the 2000s, Lloyd played the role of recurring character Cletus Poffenberger in the comic sci-fi series Tremors (2003), and recurring character Professor Harold March in the sitcom Stacked (2005). As March, Lloyd played a retired rocket scientist who was a regular customer of the bookstore which served as the series' setting. In the 2010s, Lloyd returned to the role of Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown in cameo appearances in A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) and Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie (2016), and as the protagonist of the short film Back to the Future: Doc Brown Saves the World (2015). By 2020, Lloyd has never retired from acting and continues to appear in various roles.- Actor

Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum was born October 22, 1952 in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, one of four children of Shirley (Temeles), a radio
broadcaster who also ran an appliances firm, and Harold L. Goldblum, a
doctor. His father was of Russian Jewish descent and his mother was of
Austrian Jewish ancestry.
Goldblum began his career on the New York stage after moving to the
city at age seventeen. Possessing his own unique style of delivery,
Goldblum made an impression on moviegoers with little more than a
single line in Woody Allen's
Annie Hall (1977), when he fretted
about having forgotten his mantra. Goldblum went on to appear in the
remake
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
and co-starred with Ben Vereen in the
detective series
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe (1980)
before a high-profile turn in the classic ensemble film
The Big Chill (1983).
The quirky actor turned up in the suitably quirky film
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984),
which became a 1980s cult classic, starred in the modern-day film noir
Into the Night (1985), then went
on to a breakthrough role in the
David Cronenberg remake
The Fly (1986), which also featured
actress Geena Davis, Goldblum's wife from
1987-1990 and co-star in two additional films:
Transylvania 6-5000 (1985)
and Julien Temple's
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988).
Goldblum was the rather unlikely star of some of the biggest
blockbusters of the 1990s:
Steven Spielberg's dinosaur adventure
Jurassic Park (1993) and its sequel
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997),
as well as the alien invasion film
Independence Day (1996). These
films saw Goldblum playing the type of intellectual characters he has
become associated with. More recently, roles have included critically
acclaimed turns in
Igby Goes Down (2002) and
Wes Anderson's
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004).
In 2009, he returned to television to star in his second crime series
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001).- Actor

Preeminent British classical actor of the first post-Olivier
generation, Derek Jacobi was knighted in 1994 for his services to the
theatre, and, in fact, is only the second to enjoy the honor of holding
TWO knighthoods, Danish and English (Olivier was the other). Modest and
unassuming in nature, Jacobi's firm place in theatre history centers
around his fearless display of his characters' more unappealing
aspects, their great flaws, eccentricities and, more often than not,
their primal torment.
Jacobi was born in Leytonstone, London, England, the only child of
Alfred George Jacobi, a department store manager, and Daisy Gertrude
(Masters) Jacobi, a secretary. His paternal great-grandfather was
German (from Hoxter, Germany). His interest in drama began while quite
young. He made his debut at age six in the local library drama group
production of "The Prince and the Swineherd" in which he appeared as
both the title characters. In his teens he attended Leyton County High
School and eventually joined the school's drama club ("The Players of
Leyton").
Derek portrayed Hamlet at the English National Youth Theatre prior to
receiving his high school diploma, and earned a scholarship to the
University of Cambridge, where he initially studied history before
focusing completely on the stage. A standout role as Edward II at
Cambridge led to an invite by the Birmingham Repertory in 1960
following college graduation. He made an immediate impression wherein
his Henry VIII (both in 1960) just happened to catch the interest of
Olivier himself, who took him the talented actor under his wing. Derek
became one of the eight founding members of Olivier's National Theatre
Company and gradually rose in stature with performances in "The Royal
Hunt of the Sun," "Othello" (as Cassio) and in "Hay Fever", among
others. He also made appearances at the Chichester Festival and the Old
Vic.
It was Olivier who provided Derek his film debut, recreating his stage
role of Cassio in Olivier's acclaimed cinematic version of
Othello (1965). Olivier subsequently cast
Derek in his own filmed presentation of Chekhov's
Three Sisters (1970). On TV Derek
was in celebrated company playing Don John in
Much Ado About Nothing (1967)
alongside Maggie Smith and
then-husband Robert Stephens;
Derek had played the role earlier at the Chichester Festival in 1965.
After eight eventful years at the National Theatre, which included such
sterling roles as Touchstone in "As You Like It", Jacobi left the
company in 1971 in order to attract other mediums. He continued his
dominance on stage as Ivanov, Richard III, Pericles and Orestes (in
"Electra"), but his huge breakthrough would occur on TV. Coming into
his own with quality support work in
Man of Straw (1972),
The Strauss Family (1972)
and especially the series
The Pallisers (1974) in which
he played the ineffectual Lord Fawn, Derek's magnificence was presented
front and center in the epic BBC series
I, Claudius (1976). His
stammering, weak-minded Emperor Claudius was considered a work of
genius and won, among other honors, the BAFTA award.
Although he was accomplished in
The Day of the Jackal (1973)
and The Odessa File (1974), films
would place a distant third throughout his career. Stage and TV,
however, would continue to illustrate his classical icon status. Derek
took his Hamlet on a successful world tour throughout England, Egypt,
Sweden, Australia, Japan and China; in some of the afore-mentioned
countries he was the first actor to perform the role in English. TV
audiences relished his performances as
Richard II (1978)
and, of course
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (1980).
After making his Broadway bow in "The Suicide" in 1980, Derek suffered
from an alarming two-year spell of stage fright. He returned, however,
and toured as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company (1982-1985) with
award-winning results. During this period he collected Broadway's Tony
Award for his Benedick in "Much Ado about Nothing"; earned the coveted
Olivier, Drama League and Helen Hayes awards for his Cyrano de
Bergerac; and earned equal acclaim for his Prospero in "The Tempest"
and Peer Gynt. In 1986, he finally made his West End debut in "Breaking
the Code" for which he won another Helen Hayes trophy; the play was
then brought to Broadway.
For the rest of the 80s and 90s, he laid stage claim to such historical
figures as Lord Byron, Edmund Kean and Thomas Becket. On TV he found
resounding success (and an Emmy nomination) as Adolf Hitler in
Inside the Third Reich (1982),
and finally took home the coveted Emmy opposite
Anthony Hopkins in the WWII
drama
The Tenth Man (1988). He
won a second Emmy in an unlikely fashion by spoofing his classical
prowess on an episode of "Frasier" (his first guest performance on
American TV), in which he played the unsubtle and resoundingly bad
Shakespearean actor Jackson Hedley.
Kenneth Branagh was greatly influenced
by mentor Jacobi and their own association would include Branagh's
films Henry V (1989),
Dead Again (1991), and
Hamlet (1996), the latter playing Claudius
to Branagh's Great Dane. Derek also directed Branagh in the actor's
Renaissance Theatre Company's production of "Hamlet". In the 1990s
Derek returned to the Chichester Festival, this time as artistic
director, and made a fine showing in the title role of Uncle Vanya
(1996).
More heralded work of late include profound portrayals of the
anguished titular painter in
Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon (1998), the role of Gracchus in the popular, Oscar-winning film Gladiator (2000),
and sterling performances in such films as Two Men Went to War (2002), Bye Bye Blackbird (2005), The Riddle (2007), Endgame (2009), The King's Speech (2010), Jail Caesar (2012), and as the King in Cinderella (2015). Continuing to mesmerize on the stage, he has turned in superb performances in "Uncle Vanya" (2000), Friedrich Schiller's "Don Carlos" (2005), _A Voyage 'Round My Father (2006), "Twelfth Night" (2009) and the title role in "King Lear" (2010). On the British TV series front, he has commanded more recent attention in the title role of a crusading monk in the mystery series Mystery!: Cadfael (1994), as Lord Pirrie in Titanic: Blood and Steel (2012), as Alan in Last Tango in Halifax (2012), and as Stuart Bixby in Vicious (2013).
He and his life-time companion of three decades, Richard Clifford, filed as domestic partners in England in 2006. Clifford, a fine classical actor and producer in his own right, has shared movie time with Jacobi in
Little Dorrit (1987),
Henry V (1989), and the TV version of
Cyrano de Bergerac (1985).- Actress

Catherine Fabienne Deneuve was born October 22, 1943 in Paris, France, to actor parents Renée Simonot and Maurice Dorléac. She made her movie debut in 1957, when she was barely a teenager and continued with small parts in minor films, until Roger Vadim gave her a meatier role in Vice and Virtue (1963). Her breakthrough came with the excellent musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), in which she gave an unforgettable performance as a romantic middle-class girl who falls in love with a young soldier but gets imprisoned in a loveless marriage with another man; the director was the gifted Jacques Demy, who also cast Deneuve in the less successful The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967). She then played a schizophrenic killer in Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) and a married woman who works as a part-time prostitute every afternoon in Luis Buñuel's masterpiece Belle de Jour (1967). She also worked with Buñuel in Tristana (1970) and gave a great performance for François Truffaut in Mississippi Mermaid (1969), a kind of apotheosis of her "frigid femme fatale" persona. In the seventies she didn't find parts of that caliber, but her magnificent work in Truffaut's The Last Metro (1980) as a stage actress in Nazi-occupied Paris revived her career. She was also very good in the epic drama Indochine (1992), for which she earned her first Academy Award nomination (Best Actress). Although the elegant and always radiant Deneuve has never appeared on stage, she is universally hailed as one of the "grandes dames" of French cinema, joining a list that includes such illustrious talents as Simone Signoret, Jeanne Moreau, Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Adjani and the younger Juliette Binoche.- Juan Pablo Medina was born on 22 October 1977 in Arlington, Virginia, USA. He is an actor and producer, known for The House of Flowers (2018), El Club de los Idealistas (2020) and Dad Wanted (2020). He has been married to Jimena Carranza since March 2016.

Annette Joanne Funicello achieved teenage popularity starting in October 1955 after she debuted as a Mouseketeer. Born on October 22, 1942 in Utica, New York, the family had moved to California when she was still young. Walt Disney himself saw her performing the lead role in "Swan Lake" at her ballet school's year-end recital in Burbank and decided to have her audition along with two hundred other children. Annette became the last Mouseketeer of the twenty-four that was picked. By the run-through in 1958 of The Mickey Mouse Club (1955) in which she appeared in her own multi-segmented series entitled "Annette", she had become the most popular Mousketeer of them all and the only one kept under contract by Walt Disney after he canceled the show. Her popularity was such that by the late 1950s, she was simply known as "Annette" -- America's sweetheart and the first "crush" for many a teenage baby boomer. Whenever anyone spoke of Annette, no last name was ever needed as everyone knew who you were talking about.
The popular teenager became synonymous with wholesome entertainment and was borrowed by Danny Thomas in 1959 to play Gina, a foreign exchange student, on The Danny Thomas Show (1953) (aka "The Danny Thomas Show") and also that same year had a recurring role on the Disney television series Zorro (1957). She made her well as other Disney film vehicles for several years, including The Shaggy Dog (1959), Babes in Toyland (1961) and The Monkey's Uncle (1965). During this time, the modest young singer had a couple of hit singles on the "Hot 100" charts, notably, "Tall Paul", and as a result, traveled with Dick Clark's caravan on singing tours around the country. At one point, she and teen idol Paul Anka became an item and he wrote both "Puppy Love" and "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" with her in mind. Their busy careers led to them parting ways.
During the early 1960s, American International Films wanted to use her in a fun-on-the-beach movie. They presented the idea to "Mr. Disney", as Annette always called him and with whom she was still under contract. To everyone's surprise, he gave his consent, with the only condition being that she make sure her navel was completely covered by a one piece bathing suit. The first movie, aptly titled Beach Party (1963) starred Robert Cummings and Dorothy Malone as the older generation who explore the younger set represented by Annette (as "Dee Dee") and her love interest Frankie Avalon (as "Frankie"). The "teenage" couple (actually she was 20 and he 23) proved so popular in this that they were whisked into a number of sand-and-surf romps (Muscle Beach Party (1964), Bikini Beach (1964), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965)) that showcased the actors engaging in harmless fun while singing and dancing in the sand, and falling into silly slapstick.
After the surfing craze died out in 1965, Annette married Jack Gilardi, Paul Anka's agent, and became the mother of his three children -- Gina, Jack Jr. and Jason. While appearing in a few other movies that did nothing to further her career, including Fireball 500 (1966), Thunder Alley (1967) and Head (1968), she appeared as a guest on shows and, most famously, became the spokesperson for Skippy Peanut Butter in a host of commercials. But she phased out her career in favor of family.
She and Gilardi divorced in 1983. Three years later, she married Glen Holt, a harness racing horse breeder/trainer. Within a year into her second marriage, Annette was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She hid her condition for five years before making a formal announcement (in 1992) for fear that her uncontrollable movements might be characterized as drunkenness. She became the most famous spokesperson for the disease. Annette's life was filmed as a television movie with A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: The Annette Funicello Story (1995) co-starring her good friend, Shelley Fabares. Receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1993, Annette was eventually wheelchair-ridden and went into complete seclusion.
Following a tragic March 2011 incident in which their Los Angeles house burnt to the ground and both Annette and husband Glen were hospitalized with smoke inhalation, the couple moved to Bakersfield, California. A little more than a year later, and over 25 years after she was diagnosed with this long and painful illness, Annette passed away on April 8, 2013 from complications at age 70. To the present, her foundation continues to raise money to help find cures for this and other debilitating disorders, including Lou Gehrig's disease.- Actor

Born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland on October 22, 1917, in Tokyo, Japan, in what was known as the International Settlement, to British parents, Lilian Augusta (Ruse), a former actress, and Walter Augustus de Havilland, an English professor and patent attorney. Her paternal grandfather's family was from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Her father had a lucrative practice in Japan, but due to Joan and older sister Olivia de Havilland's recurring ailments the family moved to California in the hopes of improving their health. Mrs. de Havilland and the two girls settled in Saratoga while their father went back to his practice in Japan. Joan's parents did not get along well and divorced soon afterward. Mrs. de Havilland had a desire to be an actress but her dreams were curtailed when she married, but now she hoped to pass on her dream to Olivia and Joan. While Olivia pursued a stage career, Joan went back to Tokyo, where she attended the American School. In 1934 she came back to California, where her sister was already making a name for herself on the stage. Joan likewise joined a theater group in San Jose and then Los Angeles to try her luck there. After moving to L.A., Joan adopted the name of Joan Burfield because she didn't want to infringe upon Olivia, who was using the family surname.
She tested at MGM and gained a small role in No More Ladies (1935), but she was scarcely noticed and Joan was idle for a year and a half. During this time she roomed with Olivia, who was having much more success in films. In 1937, this time calling herself Joan Fontaine, she landed a better role as Trudy Olson in You Can't Beat Love (1937) and then an uncredited part in Quality Street (1937). Although the next two years saw her in better roles, she still yearned for something better. In 1940 she garnered her first Academy Award nomination for Rebecca (1940). Although she thought she should have won, (she lost out to Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle (1940)), she was now an established member of the Hollywood set. She would again be Oscar-nominated for her role as Lina McLaidlaw Aysgarth in Suspicion (1941), and this time she won. Joan was making one film a year but choosing her roles well. In 1942 she starred in the well-received This Above All (1942).
The following year she appeared in The Constant Nymph (1943). Once again she was nominated for the Oscar, she lost out to Jennifer Jones in The Song of Bernadette (1943). By now it was safe to say she was more famous than her older sister and more fine films followed. In 1948, she accepted second billing to Bing Crosby in The Emperor Waltz (1948). Joan took the year of 1949 off before coming back in 1950 with September Affair (1950) and Born to Be Bad (1950). In 1951 she starred in Paramount's Darling, How Could You! (1951), which turned out badly for both her and the studio and more weak productions followed.
Absent from the big screen for a while, she took parts in television and dinner theaters. She also starred in many well-produced Broadway plays such as Forty Carats and The Lion in Winter. Her last appearance on the big screen was The Witches (1966) and her final appearance before the cameras was Good King Wenceslas (1994). She is, without a doubt, a lasting movie icon.- Actress

Independent, outspoken Constance Bennett, the first of the Bennett
sisters to enter films, appeared in New York-produced silents before a
chance meeting with Samuel Goldwyn led to her Hollywood debut in Cytherea (1924). She
abandoned a burgeoning career in silents for marriage to Philip Plant
in 1925; after they divorced, she achieved stardom in talkies from
1929. The hit Common Clay (1930) launched her in a series of loose lady and unwed
mother roles, but she really excelled in such sophisticated comedies as
The Affairs of Cellini (1934), Ladies in Love (1936), Topper (1937) and Merrily We Live (1938). Her classy blonde looks, husky
voice and unerring fashion sense gave her a distinctive style. In the
1940s she made fewer films, working in radio and theatre; shrewd in
business, she invested wisely and started businesses marketing women's
wear and cosmetics. Loving conflict, she feuded with the press and
enjoyed lawsuits. Her last marriage, to a U.S. Air Force colonel, was
happy and gave her a key role coordinating shows flown to Europe for
occupying troops (1946-48) and the Berlin Airlift (1948-49), winning
her military honors. Still young-looking, she died suddenly at age 60

Katrina Campins is a savvy twenty-first century businesswoman who speaks with genuine enthusiasm about the power of creating one's own destiny. Not only is she talking the talk, she is also walking the walk with over $1 billion in real estate sold.
Following her introduction on the national stage from her success on the first season of The Apprentice, Katrina has forayed her initial media exposure into a multitude of television appearances, most notably as a real estate contributor on Fox News and Fox Business as well as her own television show on the Style Network "Hot Miami Listings," which she produced and starred in as well. "Hot Listings Miami" became the number #1 rated show on the network and is still airing around the world. She has also appeared and had properties featured on NBC, VH1, SITV, CNN, CNBC, ESPN, MTV, Bloomberg TV and BBC.
Her career in real estate began when she "flipped" her first investment property at age seventeen. Katrina garnered her first six-figure commission check while still a student at the University of Miami, where she majored in International Finance and Marketing, and where she graduated with a 4.0 grade point average.
In 2004, Katrina co-founded The Campins Company and has constructed an "A" list roster of clientele consisting of celebrities, athletes and entertainers with their real estate and relocation needs throughout the U.S.. Katrina is among the most visible and successful real estate professionals in the country and her sales production ranks her among the top ½ percent of REALTOR®. In demand for her knowledge and innovative business negotiations that extend far beyond the realm of real estate, Katrina has been featured in numerous publications including her recognition as Realtor® magazine's "top 30 under 30" in 2004, Forbes, USA Today, NY Post, NY Times, Sport Illustrated, Ocean Drive, ESPN, Player Magazine, variety magazine, the covers of People Magazine, US Weekly, US Weekly, In Touch, and many more.
Katrina's courtship with television blossomed to a fast-paced love affair with the multi-faceted convergent media that has transcended the realm of real estate where she made her mark at an early age. Katrina credits the influence and guidance of Donald Trump with expanding her inspirational horizon and whereas Trump provided the catalyst for Katrina's diversification, what has followed since The Apprentice, has been the product of Katrina's intelligent business acumen and her passion for people.
"Your business, your brand, must first let people know what you care about, and that you care about them." That will indeed be one of the campins legacies. Known for her commercial prowess, negotiation skills, market knowledge and no-nonsense, results-driven approach, Katrina is re-writing the paradigm for the modern business woman.
