George Kennedy

1925 -
American born New York City

Height 6' 4½" (1.94 m) . WWII veteran, sandy haired, stocky actor who at one stage cornered the market at playing tough no-nonsense characters that were either quite crooked or possessed hearts of gold. Kennedy has notched up an impressive 200+ appearances in both TV & film productions, and is well respected within the Hollywood community. Started out in TV westerns in the late 1950s & early 1960s (Have Gun Will Travel, Rawhide, Maverick, Colt .45 etc ) before scoring minor roles in films including Lonely Are the Brave (1962), The Sons of Katie Elder (1965) and The Flight of the Phoenix (1965). The late 1960s was then a very busy period for Kennedy, and he was strongly in favor with casting agents appearing in Hurry Sundown (1967), The Dirty Dozen (1967) and scoring an Oscar win as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Cool Hand Luke (1967). The disaster film boom of the 1970s was kind to Kennedy too, and his talents were in demand for Airport (1970) and the three subsequent sequels, as a grizzled cop in Earthquake (1974), plus the buddy/road film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) as vicious bank robber, Red Leary.The 80s saw Kennedy appear in a mish mash of roles playing various characters, however Kennedy and Leslie Nielsen surprised everyone with their comedic talents in the hugely successful The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), and the two screen veterans hammed it up again in, _Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, The (1991)_ , plus Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994).George Kennedy has remained busy in Hollywood and has lent his distinctive voice to the animated Cats Don't Dance (1997) and the children's action film Small Soldiers (1998). A Hollywod stalwart for nearly 50 years, he is one of the most enjoyable actors to watch on screen. Spouse Joan McCarthy (1978 - ?), Revel Wurman (1959 - 1978) (divorced) 2 children, ? (? - ?) (divorced).

Grace Kelly

Grace Patricia Kelly
1928 - 1982 (injuries from car accident)
American born Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nickname Graciebird, Gracie . Height 5' 7" (1.70 m) . On November 12, 1929, Grace Patricia Kelly was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to wealthy parents. Her girlhood was uneventful for the most part, but one of the things she desired was to become an actress which she had decided on at an early age. After her high school graduation in 1947, Grace struck out on her own, heading to New York's bright lights to try her luck there. Grace worked some as a model and made her debut on Broadway in 1949. She also made a brief foray into the infant medium of television. Not content with the work in New York, Grace moved to Southern California for the more prestigious part of acting -- motion pictures. In 1951, she appeared in her first film entitled Fourteen Hours (1951) when she was 22. It was a small part, but a start nonetheless. The following year she landed the role of Amy Kane in High Noon (1952), a western starring Gary Cooper and Lloyd Bridges which turned out to be very popular. In 1953, Grace appeared in only one film, but it was another popular one. The film was Mogambo (1953) where Grace played Linda Nordley. The film was a jungle drama in which fellow cast members, Clark Gable and Ava Gardner turned in masterful performances. It was also one of the best films ever released by MGM. Although she got noticed with High Noon, her work with director Alfred Hitchcock, which began with Dial M for Murder (1954) made her a star. Her standout performance in Rear Window (1954) brought her to prominence. As Lisa Fremont, she was cast opposite James Stewart, who played a crippled photographer who witnesses a murder in the next apartment from his wheelchair. Grace stayed busy in 1954 appearing in five films. Grace would forever be immortalized by winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Georgie Elgin opposite Bing Crosby in The Country Girl (1954). In 1955, Grace once again teamed with Hitchcock in To Catch a Thief (1955) co-starring Cary Grant. In 1956, she played Tracy Lord in the musical comedy High Society (1956) which also starred Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. The whimsical tale ended with her re-marrying her former husband, played by Crosby. The film was well received. It also turned out to be her final acting performance. Grace had recently met and married Prince Rainier of Monaco. By becoming a princess, she gave up her career. For the rest of her life, she was to remain in the news with her marriage and her three children. On September 14, 1982, Grace was killed in an automobile accident in her adoptive home country. She was just 52 years old. Spouse Prince Rainier of Monaco (19 April 1956 - 14 September 1982) (her death) 3 children.

Gene Kelly

Eugene Curran Kelly
1912 - 1996 (complications from two strokes)
American born Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania

Height 5' 9" (1.75 m) . MGM was the largest and most powerful studio in Hollywood in 1941 when Gene Kelly arrived in town. He came direct from the hit Broadway show "Pal Joey" and planned to return to the Broadway stage after making the one film called for in his movie contract. His first film for MGM was For Me and My Gal (1942) with Judy Garland. What kept Kelly in Hollywood were "the kindred creative spirits" he found behind the scenes at MGM. The talent pool was especially large during World War II, when Hollywood was a refuge for many musicians and others in the performing arts of Europe who were forced to flee the Nazis. After the war, a new generation was coming of age. Those who saw An American in Paris (1951) would try to make real life as romantic as the reel life portrayed in that musical, and the first time they saw Paris, they were seeing again in memory the 17-minute ballet sequence set to the title song written by George Gershwin and choreographed by Kelly. The sequence cost half a million dollars to make--in 1951 dollars. Another Kelly musical of that era, Singin' in the Rain (1952), was one of the first 25 films selected by the Library of Congress for its National Film Registry of movies that are part of the American heritage. Kelly was in the same league as Fred Astaire, but instead of a top hat and tails, Kelly wore work clothes that went with the masculine, athletic dance style he was creating with his "snappy paper-tearing, roller-skating, puddle-stomping footwork." Spouse Patricia Ward (20 July 1990 - 2 February 1996) (his death), Jeanne Coyne (6 August 1960 - 10 May 1973) (her death) 2 children, Betsy Blair (22 September 1941 - 3 April 1957) (divorced) 1 child.

Michael Keaton

Michael John Douglas
1951 -
American born Carapolis, Pennsylvania

Height 5' 10" (1.78 m) . Quirky, inventive and handsome US actor who first achieved major fame with his door busting performance as fast talking, ideas man "Bill Blazejowski" alongside nerdish morgue attendant Henry Winkler in Night Shift (1982). Keaton was born Michael John Douglas on September 5th, 1951 in Corapolis, Pennsylvannia and studied speech for two years at Kent State, before dropping out and moving to Pittsburgh. An unsuccessful attempt at stand up comedy led Keaton to working as a TV cameraman in a cable station, and he came to realize he wanted to work in front of the cameras.Keaton left Pittsburgh and moved to Los Angeles to begin auditioning for various TV parts. He first appeared on TV in several episodes of _Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" (1975)_ , and cropped up in other popular TV shows including _"Maude" (1977)_ and _"Mary Tyler Moore Hour, The"_ (1979)_ . Around this time Keaton decided to use an alternative surname to remove confusion with well known actor Michael Douglas, and after reading an article on actress Diane Keaton, he decided that "Michael Keaton" sounded pretty good. His next key break was scoring a co-lead alongside James Belushi in the short lived comedy series "Working Stiffs" (1979), which showcased his comedic talent and got him into the casting for the co-lead in Night Shift (1982). After his terrific performance in NS, Keaton scored the lead in the subsequent comedy hits _Mr. Mom (1982)_ , Johnny Dangerously (1984) , Gung Ho (1986) and the Tim Burton horror-comedy _Beetlejuice (1988)_ .Keaton's career was given another major boost when in 1989 he was cast by Tim Burton as millionaire playboy / crime-fighter Bruce Wayne in the big budget remake of Batman (1989). To say their were howls of protest by fans of the caped crusader comic strip is an understatement.....Warner Bros. were literally deluged with thousands of letters of complaint by fans commenting that the comedic Keaton was the wrong choice for the Gotham City crime fighter. However, their fears were proved wrong when Keaton turned in a sensational performance, and he was an equal on screen opponent to the skillful Jack Nicholson playing the lunatic villain, "The Joker". Keen to diversify his work, Keaton next appeared as a psychotic tenant in Pacific Heights (1990), as a hard working cop in One Good Cop (1991) and then he returned to wear the black cape and cowl once more for Batman Returns (1992).He remained in demand during the 1990s, appearing in a wide range of films including the star studded Shakespearian Much Ado About Nothing (1993), another Ron Howard comedy The Paper (1994), with sexy Andie MacDowell in Multiplicity (1996), as a dogged cop in Jackie Brown (1997) and the mediocre thriller Desperate Measures (1998). Since the turn of the century, Keaton has appeared in several productions with mixed success including _Live From Baghdad (2002)_ , First Daughter (2004) and _Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)_ . Spouse Caroline McWilliams (1982 - 1990) (divorced) 1 child.

Diane Keaton

Diane Hall
1946 -
American born Los Angeles, California

Nickname Annie . Height 5' 7½" (1.71 m) . Diane Keaton was a California native who studied Drama at Santa Ana College before dropping out to study at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. After appearing in summer stock for several months, she got her first major stage role in the Broadway rock musical "Hair". As understudy to the lead, she gained attention by not removing any of her clothing. In 1970, Woody Allen cast her in his Broadway play "Play It Again, Sam", which had a successful run. It was during this time that she became involved with Allen and appeared in a number of his films. The first one was Play It Again, Sam (1972), the screen adaptation of the stage play. That same year Francis Ford Coppola cast her as Kay in the Oscar-winning The Godfather (1972) and she was on her way to stardom. She reprised that role in the film's first sequel, The Godfather: Part II (1974). She then appeared with Allen again in Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975). In 1977 she broke away from her comedy image to appear in the chilling Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), which won her a Golden Globe nomination. It was the same year that she appeared in what many regard as her best performance, in the title role of Annie Hall (1977), which Allen wrote specifically for her (her real last name is Hall, and her nickname is Annie), and what an impact she made. She won the Oscar and the British Award for Best Actress and Allen won the Directors Award from the DGA. She started a fashion trend with her unisex clothes and was the poster girl for a lot of young males. Her mannerisms and awkward speech became almost a national craze. The question being asked, though, was, "Is she just a lightweight playing herself, or is there more depth to her personality?". For whatever reason, she appeared in but one film a year for the next two years and those films were by Allen. When they broke up she was next involved with Warren Beatty and appeared in his film Reds (1981), as the bohemian female journalist Louise Bryant. For her performance she received nominations for the Academy Award and the Golden Globe. For the rest of the 1980s she appeared infrequently in films, but won nominations in three of them. Attempting to break the typecasting she had fallen into, she took on the role of a confused, somewhat naive woman who becomes the tool of Middle Eastern terrorists in The Little Drummer Girl (1984). To offset her lack of movie work, Diane began directing. She directed the documentary Heaven (1987), as well as some music videos. For television she directed an episode of the popular, but strange, "Twin Peaks" (1990). In the 1990s she began to get more mature rules, though she reprised the role of Kay Corleone in the third "Godfather" epic, The Godfather: Part III (1990). She appeared as the wife of Steve Martin in the hit Father of the Bride (1991) and again in Father of the Bride Part II (1995).

Buster Keaton

Joseph Frank Keaton VI
1895 - 1966 (lung cancer)
American born Pickway

Nickname The Great Stone Face, Malic . Height 5' 6" (1.68 m) . When at six months he tumbled down a flight of stairs unharmed he was given the name "Buster" by Harry Houdini who, along with W.C. Fields, Bill Robinson ("Bojangles"), Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson shared headlines with The Three Keatons: Buster, his father Joe Keaton and mother Myra Keaton. Their act, one of the most dangerous in vaudeville, was about how to discipline a prankster child. Buster was thrown all over the stage and even into the audience. No matter what the stunt, he was poker-faced. By age 21 his father was so alcoholic the stunts became too dangerous to perform and the act dissolved. He first saw a movie studio in March 1917 and on April 23 his debut film, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle's The Butcher Boy (1917), was released. He stayed with Fatty through 15 two-reelers, even though he was offered much more to sign with Fox or Warner Bros. after returning from ten months with the U.S. Army (40th Infantry Division) in France. His first full-length feature, The Saphead (1920), established him as a star in his own right. By the middle of 1921 he had his own production company--Buster Keaton Productions--and was writing, directing and starring in his own films. With a small and close team around him, Keaton created some of the most beautiful and imaginative films of the silent era. The General (1927), his favorite, was one of the last films over which he had artistic control. In 1928, he reluctantly signed with MGM after his contract with independent producer Joe Schenk expired. MGM quickly began to enforce their rigid, mechanized style of film-making on Keaton, swamping him with gag-writers and scripts. He fought against it for a time, and the compromise was initially fruitful, his first film for MGM - _Cameraman, The (1928)_ - being one of his finest. But with his creativity becoming increasingly stifled, he began to drink excessively, despondent at having to perform material that was beneath him. Ironically, his films around 1930 were his most successful to date in terms of box-office, which confirmed to MGM that their formula was right. His drinking led to a disregard for schedules and erratic behaviour on the MGM lot, and a disastrous confrontation with Louis Mayer resulted in him being fired. The diplomatic producer Irving Thalberg attempted to smooth things over but Keaton was past caring. By 1932 he was a divorced alcoholic, getting work where he could, mostly in short comedies. In 1935 he entered a mental hospital. MGM rehired him in 1937 as a $100-a-week gag-man (his salary ten years before was more than ten times this amount). The occasional film was a boost to this steady income. In 1947 his career rebounded with a live appearance at Cirque Medrano in Paris. In 1952 James Mason, who then owned Keaton's Hollywood mansion, found a secret store of presumably lost nitrate stock of many of Buster's early films; film historian and archivist Raymond Rohauer began a serious collection/preservation of Buster's work. In 1957 Buster appeared with Charles Chaplin in Limelight (1952) and his film biography, The Buster Keaton Story (1957) was released. Two years later he received a special Oscar for his life work in comedy, and he began to receive the accolades he so richly deserved, with festivals around the world honoring his work. He died at 70 years of age. Spouse Eleanor Keaton (28 July 1940 - 1 February 1966) (his death), Mae Scriven (8 January 1933 - 1936) (divorced), Natalie Talmadge (31 May 1921 - 25 July 1932) (divorced) 2 children.

Stacy Keach

Walter Stacy Keach Jr.
1941 -
American born Savannah, Georgia

Height 5' 11½" (1.82 m) . When Stacy Keach burst into the public consciousness in John Huston's Fat City (1972) in 1972, it appeared that a great actor had been discovered. He was not unknown: Keach had earlier appeared on-screen in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1968), End of the Road (1970) and the revisionist Western 'Doc' (1971), but he was brilliant as the tank-town boxer Tully in Huston's small masterpiece. Keach would have been awarded the New York Film Critics Circle Award as Best Actor in January 1973 if a dissident faction had not successfully demanded that the rules be changed to require a majority (rather than a plurality) of votes to win the award. Keach's on-screen career would continue to be plagued by bad luck.Keach followed up Fat City (1972) with a starring turn in the film adaptation of "The New Centurions" opposite the great George C. Scott. He also took the prized role in the film adaptation of John Osborne's "Luther," a part made famous by and virtually "owned" by Albert Finney. With this promising beginning, bolstered by cameos in Robert Altman's "Brewster McCloud" and Huston's "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" and by his TV-directing debut on PBS with Arthur Miller's "Incident at Vichy," Keach seemed to be on the cusp of a kind of stardom enjoyed by only a small elite of American actors like Marlon Brando and Paul Newman: a star who was also a fine actors.However, Keach, like his immediate predecessor for the actor/star crown Jon Voight, was unable to capitalize on his stunning debut. The 1970s turned out to be the heyday of the ethnic actor, dominated by Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, who racked up 10 Academy Award nominations and 3 Oscars between them in the period 1972-1980.It was Keach's bad luck that he never became a star and thus never able to get roles that befitted his marvelous ability. It was emblematic of the times that even when a part called for an actor, many directors, including Martin Scorcese in "The Age of Innocence" and Robert Redford in "Quiz Show," would turn to Englishmen rather than Americans.He was born Walter Stacy Keach, Jr. in Savannah, Georgia on June 2, 1941. His father, Stacy Keach, Sr., was a contract player as a character actor at Universal Pictures in the 1940s and later worked as a producer for R.K.O. before returning to acting in television. Stacy, Jr. was born with a cleft lip, a facial birth defect, but it was repaired and did not hinder his dream of becoming an actor. After graduating from Van Nuys High School, he entered the University of California, Berkeley in 1959, then continued his studies at the Yale University School of Drama. Keach won a Fulbright Scholarship and used it to further his craft at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.He made his Broadway debut as a member of the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center in "Danton's Death" on October 21, 1965. He also appeared in "The Country Wife" and "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" for the Lincoln Center Rep in 1966, and appeared as Edmund to Lee J. Cobb's "King Lear" in the '68-'69 season for the Rep. Later that year he achieved theatrical fame as Buffalo Bill in Arthur Kopit's play "Indians" in 1969, in which he proved himself to be a superb actor, wining a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Play for his debut.He consolidated his reputation as an actor's actor playing the eponymous "MacBird," a hit off-Broadway hit comedy satirizing Lyndon Johnson as a latter-day MacBeth. For his turn as MacBird, he won an Obie Award, a Vernon Rice Award, and the Drama Desk Award, as well as being named "Best Performance in a Comedy" by Saturday Review's Award. Switching gears from comedy to serious drama, his 1971 performance of Jamie in Eugene O'Neill's, "Long Day's Journey Into Night" with Robert Ryan and Gerladine Fitzgerald brought him another round of Obie, Vernon Rice and New York Drama Desk awards.In the 1972-73 season, Keach took on the greatest challenge for the dramatic actor, the title role in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" off-Broadway for the New York Shakespeare Theatre. (No American actor had mounted a Broadway Hamlet since John Barrymore and Walter Hampden in the 1920s and '30s. Raymond Massey was a Canadian and Maurice Evans was an English immigrant.) Keach's portrayal of the Gloomy Dane brought him his third Obie and Vernon Rice Awards. Playing Hamlet had been a challenge that the great Brando himself had ignored, though Keach played Stanley Kowalski off-Broadway in . Stacy Keach apparently had arrived as the next Great American Actor. Alas, that was not to be. His career in films sputtered out by the mid-70s and he was reduced to playing a caricature in Cheech and Chong movies. It was a waste of a major talent (as can be seen in his understated performance as Frank James in "The Longriders," a film he co-wrote and co-produced with his brother, 'James Keach' ) and an indictment of the post-Hollywood studio American film industry. While American film became dominated by directors in the 1970s, it also increasingly became focused on the box office, i.e., appealing to the 12-24 year-old male demographic once satisfied with drive-in fare as the drive-in movie became lavished with big budgets and big stars (e.g., "Silence of the Lambs"). In another era, an actor of Keach's talent surely would have thrived as a character lead and supporting actor, possibly breaking through like Humphrey Bogart did in his early 40s.The alternative to a career like Bogart's is television, the media that doomed the studio system, and that's where Keach turned. He had a success as a hardboiled private dick in the series "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" from 1984 to 1987. The momentum of Keach's success on series TV was impeded after n he was arrested at Heathrow Airport when customs officials found cocaine in a hollowed-out shaving cream container. He was convicted of smuggling cocaine into the United Kingdom and spent six months in prison. Keach's contrition attracted sympathy, including that of First Lady Nancy Reagan, the high priestess of her husband's war on drugs, and he eventually returned to the show.For his TV portrayal of "Hemingway," he won a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination as Best Actor. He also played the role of Ken Titus' father in the TV series "Titus". Television also uses his well-trained voice frequent as a narrator, most notably for "Nova," "National Geographic" and "The Discovery Channel."Always one to return to the boards like a true actor, Keach scored another major success on stage when he was the lead in "The Kentucky Cycle," the only play to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Drama without first appearing in New York. He appeared in the play both on and off-Broadwayas as well as in its Washington, D.C. tryouts. For his Broadway turn in the play, he won an Outstanding Artist Award from The Drama League, the Helen Hayes Award as Best Actor and a New York Drama Desk Awards nomination as Best Actor.Stacy Keach serves as the honorary chairman of the Cleft Palate Foundation, for which he received a Celebrity Outreach Award in 1995. He also is a Charter Member of the Artist's Rights Foundation. That he continues to act 37 years after making his film debut in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" is testimony to his talent. Audiences should not be surprised if, seemingly out of the blue, Keach the screen actor returns to form and delivers another masterful performance like his Tully, the last time he came in out of the cold.

Danny Kaye

David Daniel Kaminski
1913 - 1987 (heart attack)
American born New York City

Height 5' 11" (1.80 m) . Danny Kaye left school at the age of 13 to work in the Borscht Belt of the Catskill Mountains. It was there that he learned the basics of showbiz. From there, he went through a series of jobs in and out of the business. In 1939, he made his Broadway debut in the Straw Hat Revue, but it was the stage production of the musical Lady in the Dark (1954) (TV) that brought him acclaim and notice from the agents. Also in 1940, Danny married Sylvia Fine who went on to manage his career. She also helped create the routines and gags, and wrote most of the songs that he performed. Danny could sing and dance like many others, but his specialty was reciting those tongue-twisting songs and monologues. Samuel Goldwyn Jr. had been trying to sign him to a movie contract for two years before he eventually agreed. Goldwyn wanted to put him into a series of Technicolor musicals starting with Up in Arms (1944). His debut, as Danny, was successful and he continued to make hit movies such as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) and The Inspector General (1949). In 1954, he appeared with Bing Crosby in the movie White Christmas (1954), which was based on the Irving Berlin song of the same name. In 1956, he gave one of his greatest performances as the phony court jester in The Court Jester (1956). But like all things, the life-span of a comedian is limited and his movie career waned. In 1960, he began doing specials on television and this led to his own TV series, "The Danny Kaye Show" (1963), which ran from 1963 to 1967. He also worked tirelessly for UNICEF. Spouse Sylvia Fine (3 January 1940 - 3 March 1987) (his death) 1 child.

Boris Karloff

William Henry Pratt
1887 - 1969 (emphysema)
British /American born New York City

Nickname Billy, The Uncanny . Height 5' 11" (1.80 m) . Along with fellow actors Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, Boris Karloff is recognized as one of the true icons of horror cinema, and the actor most closely identified with the general public's perception of the "monster" from the classic Mary Shelley book "Frankenstein". William Henry Pratt was born on November 23, 1887, in Camberwell, London, England, the son of Edward John Pratt Jr., the Deputy Commissioner of Customs Salt and Opium, Northern Division, Indian Salt Revenue Service, and his third wife, Eliza Sarah Millard.He was educated at London University in anticipation that he would pursue a diplomatic career; however, he emigrated to Canada in 1909 and joined a touring company based out of Ontario and adopted the stage name of "Boris Karloff". He toured back and forth across the USA for over ten years in a variety of low-budget theater shows and eventually ended up in Hollywood with very little money to his name. Needing cash to support himself, Karloff secured acting work in the fledgling silent film industry in such pictures as The Deadlier Sex (1920), Omar the Tentmaker (1922), Dynamite Dan (1924) and Tarzan and the Golden Lion (1927).His big break came in 1931 when he was cast as "the monster" in the Universal production of Frankenstein (1931), directed by James Whale. The aura of mystery surrounding Karloff was highlighted in the credits, as he was listed as simply "?". The film was a commercial and critical success, and Karloff was instantly established as a hot property in Hollywood. He quickly appeared in several other sinister roles, including Scarface (1932), the black-humored The Old Dark House (1932), as the namesake Oriental villain of the Sax Rohmer novels in The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932), as undead Im-Ho-Tep in The Mummy (1932) and the misguided Prof. Morlant in The Ghoul (1933).He donned the signature make-up, neck bolts and asphalt spreader's boots again to play the Frankenstein monster in the sensational Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and the less thrilling Son of Frankenstein (1939). He was a wrongly condemned doctor in Devil's Island (1939), shaven-headed executioner "Mord the Merciless" in Tower of London (1939), another misguided scientist in The Ape (1940), a crazed scientist surrounded by monsters, vampires and werewolves in House of Frankenstein (1944), a murderous cabman in The Body Snatcher (1945) and a Greek general fighting vampirism in the superb Val Lewton thriller Isle of the Dead (1945).While Karloff continued appearing in a plethora of films, many of them were not up to the standards of his previous efforts, including appearances in two of the hokey Bud Abbott and Lou Costello monster movies, the low point of the Universal horror movie cycle. During the 1950s he was a regular guest on many high-profile TV shows including "The Milton Berle Show" (1948), "Tales of Tomorrow" (1951), "The Veil" (1958), "The Donald O'Connor Show" (1954), "The Red Skelton Show" (1951) and "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show" (1956), to name but a few, and he appeared in a mixed bag of films including Sabaka (1954) and Voodoo Island (1957).His career experienced something of a revival in the 1960s thanks to indie director Roger Corman, with Karloff contributing wonderful performances in The Raven (1963), The Terror (1963), the ultra-eerie Tre volti della paura, I (1963) and the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Die, Monster, Die! (1965). Karloff's last great role was as an aging horror movie star confronting a modern-day sniper in the Peter Bogdanovich film Targets (1968). Three low-budget Mexican-produced horror films starring an ailing Karloff were released in the two years after his death; however, they do no justice to this great actor. Renowned as a kind and warm-hearted gentleman, with a sincere affection for children and their welfare, Karloff passed away on February 2, 1969, from emphysema. He was cremated at Guildford Crematorium, Godalming, Surrey, England, where he is commemorated by a plaque in Plot 2 of the Garden of Remembrance.

Raul Julia

Raul Rafael Carlos Julia y Arcelay
1940 -1994 (cancer-related stroke)
Puerto Rican born San Juan, Puerto Rico

Height 6' 2" (1.88 m) . Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Raul Julia was discovered while performing in a nightclub in San Juan by actor Orson Bean who inspired him to move to the mainland to pursue other projects. Julia moved to Manhattan, New York City in 1964 and quickly found work by acting in small and supporting roles in off-Broadway shows. In 1966, he began appearing in Shakespearean roles, creating a deliciously conniving Edmund in King Lear in 1973 and a smoldering Othello in 1979. Julia also made his mark on the musical stage playing one of the Two Gentlemen of Verona during its run in 1971, and a chilling role of Mack the Knife in The Threepenny Opera in 1976 and as a Fellini-esque film director in Nine (1982). The stage successes led to his movie works where he is better known. One of his best movie roles is a passionate political prisoner in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). Julia also appeared as dramatic heroes and memorable villains in a number of films and made-for-TV-movies. His later roles included the loopily macabre Gomez Addams in two Addams Family movies. With his health declining from 1993 onward after being diagnosed with cancer, Julia kept on acting, playing Brazilian rainforest activist Chico Mendez in The Burning Season (1994), for which he posthumously won a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award. On October 16, 1994, the weakened and gaunt Raul Julia suffered a stroke in his New York City apartment where he fell into a coma and was put on life support. He was transferred to a hospital in nearby Manhasset where his weakened body finally gave up the struggle on October 24, 1994 at age 54. His body was flown back to Puerto Rico for burial where thousands turned out for his state funeral to remember him. Spouse Merel Poloway (28 June 1976 - 24 October 1994) (his death), Magda Vasallo (1965 - 1969) (divorced).

Gordon Jackson

Gordon Cameron Jackson
1923 - 1989
British born Glasgow

Gordon Cameron Jackson was born on 19th December 1923 in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest of five children, whose father taught painting in the city. His interest in acting began during his school-life where he took part in many amateur productions. This led to him being spotted by the BBC and work in radio shows such as 'Children's Hour' soon followed. However by the age of fifteen he left school and went to work as a draughtsman for Rolls-Royce. But when film producers were looking for a young Scot to take part in the film 'The Foreman Went to France', the Beeb had not forgotten Gordon (even if *he* had forgotten *them*!) and recommended him. His abilities as an actor really took off at the age of twenty with his appearance as an airman in the film 'Millions Like Us'. Although limited to his unmistakeable Scots accent, his versatility in other areas saw him win myriad film and TV roles in a career spanning almost fifty years. His career was truly prolific and although not always starring in high-profile films, he was rarely out of work. His very early work also consisted of much radio work and repertory theatre in Glasgow, Worthing and Perth. He made his London stage debut in 1951, in the long-running farce 'Seagulls Over Sorrento'. Later stage roles included those of Horatio in 'Hamlet', Banquo in 'Macbeth', Ishmael in the stage production of 'Moby Dick' directed by Orson Welles (the mind boggles at this - how did they get a whale to perform on a stage?!) and a range of other parts both classical and modern. In 1949 he starred in the film 'Floodtide' alongside actress Rona Anderson whom he married in 1951. The couple bore two children, Graham and Roddy. Gordon's film work remained steady throughout the fifties and sixties and amongst fellow actors such as Alec Guiness he came to be highly respected. In 1969 he played Horatio in Tony Richardson's production of 'Hamlet', at the Round House, and won the Clarence Derwent Award for Best Supporting Actor. But the public didn't really "discover" him until 1971 with London Weekend Television's classic 'Upstairs Downstairs'. This was a drama series set in the 1910s and 1920s and concerned the contrast between the lives of a wealthy family (upstairs) and their servants (downstairs). Gordon played the 'middleman' butler Hudson. The series lasted five years and sold to dozens of countries worldwide, proving popular almost everywhere - particularly the USA. In 1974 he was awarded British Actor of the Year award and a Supporting Actor Emmy in 1975 for 'Upstairs, Downstairs'. In 1977 came the long-running 'The Professionals' - an action-based crime series wherein he played the tough, ruthless, wily head of a Government department called Criminal Intelligence (essentially a cross between MI6, Special Branch and the SAS). This was a complete (if temporary) change of direction for Gordon's career and he appeared to relish the challenge of playing an entirely different role. Despite the controversial depiction of violence, series was huely successful all over the world (except America, as the TV bosses there felt it too violent). Reportedly the British Royal Family were fans of the series, and in 1979 he was appointed OBE (though presumably in recognition of his entire acting career). Shortly after completion of the series in 1981, Gordon appeared in the Australian mini-series 'A Town Called Alice'. He won Australia's Logie award for this role. Yet despite his success, Gordon claimed that he did not enjoy his own performances and never watched himself on screen - stating that he never felt very confident or comfortable in front of the camera or on stage. Throughout the remainder of the 1980s Gordon generally took small roles in several TV and film projects. Tragically his career was cut short when, in 1989, it was discovered he had irreversible bone cancer. The illness took its toll very quickly indeed and he passed away on 14th January 1990 leaving Rona as his widow. A great loss to us all. Spouse Rona Anderson (2 June 1951 - 15 January 1990) (his death).

Glenda Jackson

Glenda May Jackson
1936 -
British born Liverpool

Few in modern British history have come as far or achieved as much from humble beginnings as Glenda Jackson has. From acclaimed actress to respected MP (Member of Parliament), she is known for her high intelligence and meticulous approach to her work. She was born to a working-class household in Birkenhead, where her father was a bricklayer. When she was very young, her father was recruited into the Navy, where he worked aboard a minesweeper. She graduated from school at 16 and worked for a while in a pharmacy. However, she found this boring and dead-end and wanted better for herself. Her life changed forever when she was accepted into the prestigious Royal Acadamy of Dramatic Art (RADA) at the age of 18. Her work impressed all who observed it. In addition, she married Roy Hodges at 22.Her first work came on the stage, where she won a role in an adaptation of "Separate Tables", and made a positive impression on critics and audiences alike. This led to film roles, modest at first, but she approached them with great determination. She first came to the public's notice when she won a supporting role in the controversial film Marat/Sade (1967), and is acknowledged to have stolen the show. She quickly became a member of Britian's A-List. Her first starring role came in the offbeat drama Negatives (1968), in which she out-shone the oddball material. The following year, controversial director Ken Russell gave her a starring role in his adaptation of the 1920s romance Women in Love (1969). The beautifully photographed film was a major success, and Jackson's performance won her an Academy Award for Best Actress. In the process, she became an international celebrity, known world-wide, yet she didn't place as much value on the status and fame as most do. She did, however, become a major admirer of Russell (who had great admiration for her in return) and acted in more of his films. She starred in the controversial The Music Lovers (1970), even though it required her to do a nude scene, something that made her very uncomfortable. The film was not a success, but she agreed to do a cameo appearance in his next film, The Boy Friend (1971). Although her role as an obnoxious actress was very small, she once again performed with great aplomb.1971 turned out to be a key year for her. She took a risk by appearing in Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), as a divorced businesswoman in a dead-end affair with a shallow bisexual artist, but the film turned out to be another major success. Also, she accepted the starring role in the British Broadcasting Corporation's much anticipated biography of Queen Elizabeth I, and her performance in the finished film, "Elizabeth R" (1971) (mini), was praised not only by critics and fans, but is cited by historians as the most accurate portrayal of the beloved former queen ever seen. That same year, she appeared in the popular comedy series "The Morecambe & Wise Show" (1968) in a skit as Queen Cleopatra, which is considered on of the funniest TV skits in British television, and also proof that she could do comedy just as well as costume melodrama. One who saw and raved about her performance was director Melvin Frank, who proceeded to cast her in the romantic comedy A Touch of Class (1973), co-starring George Segal. The two stars had a chemistry which brought out the best in each other, and the film was not only a major hit in both the United States and Great Britian, but won her a second Academy Award. She continued to impress by refusing obvious commercial roles and seeking out serious artistic work. She gave strong performances in The Romantic Englishwoman (1975) and The Incredible Sarah (1976), in which she portrayed the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt. However, some of her films didn't register with the public and her marriage fell apart in 1976. But her career remained at the top and in 1978 she was named Commander of the Order of the British Empire. That year, she made a comeback in the comedy House Calls (1978), co-starring Walter Matthau. The success of this film which led to a popular television spin-off in the United States the following year. In 1979, she and Segal re-teamed in Lost and Found (1979), but they were unable to overcome the routine script.During the 1980s, she appeared in Hopscotch (1980) also co-starring Walter Matthau, and HealtH (1980) with Lauren Bacall, with disappointing results, although Jackson herself was never blamed. Her performance in the TV biography Sakharov (1984) (TV), in which she played Yelena Bonner, devoted wife of imprisoned Russian nuclear scientist Andrei Sakharov opposite Jason Robards, won rave reviews. However, the next film Turtle Diary (1985), was only a modest success, and the ensemble comedy Beyond Therapy (1987) was a critical and box office disaster.As the 1980s ended, Jackson continued to act, but became more focused on public affairs. She grew up in a household that was staunchly supportive of the Labour Party. She had disliked the policies of Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, even though she admired some of her personal attributes, and strongly disapproved of Thatcher's successor, John Major. She was unhappy with the direction of British government policies, and in 1992 ran for Parliament. Although running in an area (Hampstead and Highgate) which was not heavily supportive of her party, she won by a slim margin and immediately became its most famous newly elective member. However, those who expected that she would rest on her laurels and fame were mistaken. She immediately took an interest in transportation issues, and in 1997 was appointed Junior Transportation Minister by Prime Minister Tony Blair. However, she was critical of some of Blair's policies and is considered an intra-party opponent of Blair's moderate faction. She is considered a traditional Labour Party activist, but is not affiliated with the faction known as The Looney Left. In 2000, she ran for Mayor of London, but lost the Labour nomination to Frank Dobson, an ally of Blair's, who then lost the election to an independent candidate, Ken Livingstone. In 2005, she ran again and won the nomination, but lost to Livingstone, winning 38% of the vote. When Blair announced he would not seek reelection as Prime Minister in 2006, Jackson's name was mentioned as a possible successor, although she didn't encourage this speculation. Spouse Roy Hodges (1958 - 1976) (divorced) 1 son.

Wilfrid Hyde White

1903 - 1991
British born Gloucester

British character actor of wry charm, equally at home in amused or strait-laced characters. A native of Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire, he attended Marlborough College and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. His stage debut came in 1922, and by 1925 he was a busy London actor. He married actress Blanche Glynne (real name: Blanche Hope Aitken) and in 1932 toured South Africa in plays. Alleged to have been spotted by George Cukor during a performance in Aldritch, Hyde-White (with or without Cukor's help) made his film debut in 1934. He often appeared under the name Hyde White in these early films. He continued to act upon the stage, playing opposite Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in "Caesar and Cleopatra" and "Antony and Cleopatra" in 1951. With scores of films to his credit, he will always be remembered for one, My Fair Lady (1964), in which he played Colonel Pickering. Active into his ninth decade, Hyde-White died six days before his 88th birthday. He was survived by his second wife, Ethel, and three children.
