DB20 February 1925, Kansas City, MO
 
BGOn February 20th, 1925 in Kansas City, Mo, Robert Altman was born to B.C.
BG(an insurance salesman) and Helen Altman.  He entered St. Peters Catholic
BGschool at the age six, and spent a short time at a Catholic high school.
BGFrom there he went to Rockhurst high school.  It was then that he started
BGexploring the art of exploring sound with the cheap tape recorders
BGavailable at the time. He was then sent to Wentworth Military Academy in
BGLexington, MO where he attended through Junior College.In 1945, he
BGenlisted in the Air Force and became a copilot of a B-24.
BGAfter his discharge from the military, he went to work for the
BGCalvin Co.  It was here (while working on documentaries, employee
BGtraining films, and advertisements) that he learned much about film
BGmaking.  By 1955 he had left the Calvin Co.
BGAfter a series of unnoticed independent films, he was given his
BGfirst directoral break by Alfred Hitchcock.  From here he went on to
BGdirect a large number of television shows, until he was offered the
BGscript for M*A*S*H in 1969.  He was hardly the producer's first choice -
BGmore than fifteen other directors had already turned it down.  This
BGwasn't his first movie, but it was his first success.
TRAltman came up with a scheme to "Identi-Code" pets.
TRHe would tatoo a number on the cat or dog. Somehow, he managed to
TRtatoo President Truman's dog.
TRAltman designed a watch called "Time to Reflect" for Swatch in
TR1995 to commemorate the centenary of the birth of cinema.
QU"I've about had it - the agencies, the winking, the networks, the
QUratings. Anyone who thinks TV is an art medium is crazy - it's an
QUadvertising medium."

BGRobert Bresson trained as a painter before moving into films as a
BGscreenwriter, making a short film (atypically a comedy), 'Les Affaires
BGPubliques' in 1934.  After spending more than a year as a German POW
BGduring World War II, he made his debut with 'Les Anges du Peche' in
BG1943.  His next film, 'Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne' (1944) would be
BGthe last time he would work with professional actors.  From 'Diary of a
BGCountry Priest' (1950) onwards, he created a unique minimalist style in
BGwhich all but the barest essentials are omitted from the film (often,
BGcrucial details are only given in the soundtrack), with the actors (he
BGcalls them 'models') giving deliberately flat, expressionless
BGperformances.  It's a demanding and difficult, intensely personal
BGstyle, which means that his films never achieved great popularity (it
BGwas rare for him to make more than one film every five years), but he
BGhas a fanatical following among critics, who rate him as one of the
BGgreatest artists in the history of the cinema.  He retired in the
BG1980s, after failing to raise the money for a long-planned adaptation
BGof the Book of Genesis.

BGAfter studying engineering (a subject he said was ideally suited to
BGmaking low-budget films on a tight schedule), Roger Corman attempted to
BGbreak into films by the tried and trusted method of working as a
BGmessenger 20th-Century Fox, eventually rising to the position of story
BGanalyst.  He started direct involvement in films in 1953 as a producer
BGand screenwriter, making his debut as director in 1955.  Between then
BGand his official retirement in 1971 he directed dozens of films, often
BGas many as six or seven per year, typically shot extremely quickly on
BGleftover sets from other, larger, productions.  His probably unbeatable
BGrecord for a professional 35mm feature film was two days and a night to
BGshoot the original version of 'Little Shop of Horrors' in 1960, though
BGseveral other films were made in less than a week.  In the early 1960s,
BGhis budgets got bigger (though never big), when he made a series of
BGadaptations of Edgar Allen Poe stories starring Vincent Price.  Apart
BGfrom the 1991 'Frankenstein Unbound', he retired from directing in 1971
BGto concentrate on production and distribution through his company New
BGWorld (and later Concorde), making low-budget exploitation films and
BGusing the profits to distribute distinguished art films.  Apart from
BGmaking dozens of enormously entertaining films (there are amazingly few
BGduds in his output), Corman's place in film history is assured simply
BGthrough his unrivalled eye for talent - among many world-class names
BGwho were employed by him at a very early stage in their careers are
BGFrancis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, James Cameron, Peter
BGBogdanovich, Joe Dante and many others - which means that his influence
BGon modern American cinema is almost incalculable.

BGWas born into a modest income family. His mother managed a small
BGhotel in downtown Los Angeles where Richard and his family resided.
BGHe first appeared on network radio while still a teenager as Ougy
BGPringle in a "Date with Judy" (1946). When that show was canceled
BGhe was cast in the roll of Walter Denton on "Our Miss Brooks", it
BGwas while playing that roll that "Our Miss Brooks" moved from Radio
BGto Television. These rolls called for a cracked voice creating an
BGadolescent image.  In real life Richard was tall, with a an
BGadults voice.  Yet, he was able to bridge this gap, and played the
BGroll with practiced professionalism. When Our Miss Brooks was
BGcanceled he was cast as "Luke" on "The Real McCoys." When Richard
BGfinished High School he enrolled, and majored in Theater Arts at
BGthe University of Southern California. Richard married shortly
BGafter his graduation from USC. The marriage was short lived. Richard
BGmet, and married his current wife in the late 1950's. He has more
BGthan 70 major motion pictures to his credit.

BGThe 15th screen Tarzan (if you don't count Gordon Griffith, qv) was to
BGhave played a Tarzan impersonator in a projected Mike Henry
BGtelevision show which never materialized. He had been tested fourteen
BGmonths earlier when Henry got the part. Prior to Tarzan he had played
BGonly bit parts in movies, e.g., the copilot in South Pacific (1958)
BGand had co-starred in TV's brief series "Malibu Run". He played the
BGtitle role in the Tarzan TV series, 1966-68, and in two movies made
BGfrom that series in 1970. He refused to use a stunt double in his
BGvine-swinging or animal fights and was often injured. It has been
BGnoted that Ron's physical appearance and dialogue were much more like
BGthose of Burroughs' character than could be said for any other
BGTarzan. In addition to occasional parts in TV series and movies,
BGseveral made in Germany, Ron hosted the "Miss America" pageant on
BGtelevision 1979-81, replacing Bert Parks.

BGFreda was born in Alexandria Egypt of Italian parents.
BGEducated in Milan, he became a sculptor, then a
BGnewspaper art critic, and then began a career in film in 1937
BGin the areas of screenwriting and production supervisor.
BGHe moved to film direction in 1942, beginning a career that
BGlasted some forty years.  Resisting the strong neo-realism
BGtrend in post-war Italy, Freda (with Vittorio Cottafavi)
BGcontinued to make films in the historico-spectacular style,
BGat which he developed a considerable mastery.  He was a
BGpioneer in Italy of horror-fantasy films, especially with
BGI Vampiri and L'orrible segreto del dottor Hitchcock.  From
BGthere he went to melodrama and spy films, and even made one
BGwestern.  Strong on visual style, Freda's films had popular
BGappeal, and were usually commercial successes.  Several are BG: French
BGor other European co-productions.  Freda used a
BGnumber of aliases during his career, including (as director)
BGRobert Hampton, George Lincoln, and Willy Pareta, and (as
BGscreenwriter) Robert Davidson.  He has been called a director
BG"who brings some style to exploitation pictures", and has
BGsomething of a cult following.

DB21 May 1926, New York, NY
 
BGThe only child of a stock broker and well-to-do mother, Richard Jason
BGdescribes himself as "2nd generation nouveau riche" and a born romantic.
BGFriends say he is affable, charming, driven, and a real Renaissance man.
BGA good student, popular with classmates and teachers, Jason's hellish
BGbehaviour got him expelled from eight prep schools before graduating
BGfrom Rhodes School. His father bought him a seat on the NY stock
BGexchange, but Rick sold the seat and enlisted in the Army Air Corp
BG(1943-45). After the war, he attended the American Academy of Dramatic
BGArts on the GI Bill. While attending a NY play, he was spotted by
BGactor-director Hume Cronyn who immediately cast him in "Now I Lay me
BGDown to Sleep". The role earned Rick a Theater World Award and a
BGHollywood contract with Columbia Pictures (he was offered contracts by
BGfour different studios). First year he was under contract, a frustrated
BGRick Jason did not work. Meanwhile, MGM was searching for an actor to
BGreplace the departed Fernando Lamas in "Sombrero". Jason, now released
BGfrom Columbia, landed the role. This success lead to "The Saracen Blade"
BGand RKO's "This Is My Love". 20th Century Fox signed him for the male
BGlead in "The Lieutenant Wore Skirts". He was signed to a multi-picture
BGcontract. His first project, an adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The
BGWayward Bus", earned him crtical acclaim; a string of strong
BGperformances, both in films and TV, followed. Rick was deluged by more
BGthan 30 offers for TV series. In 1960, Rick Jason starred as suave
BGinsurance investigator Robin Scott in "The Case of the Dangerous Robin".
BGThe series ran 38 episodes and made Jason the first actor to use martial
BGarts (karate) on TV. September 1962, Rick Jason exploded onto prime-time
BGscreens as the cool, calm, and collected Lt. Gil Hanley in ABC's hit
BGseries, COMBAT! Five seasons--and 152 epsiodes--later, Rick Jason was a
BGhouse-hold name. After COMBAT! Rick returned to theater. He also made
BGfilms in Japan and Israel. In 1970 he took the lead in the 1970 pilot
BG"Prudence and the Chief" (1970). Rick's TV career remained strong. In
BGthe 70s and 80s, he appeared in "Matt Houston", "Police Woman", "Murder
BGShe Wrote", "Wonder Woman", "Fantasy Island", "Airwolf" and "Dallas". In
BG1973, he was a regular on "The Young and the Restless".
BGToday, Rick lives with his wife Cindy in Moorpark, California. He
BGkeeps busy doing voice-overs for commercials and runs The Wine Locker: a
BG4,000 square-foot storage to store fine wines under optimal conditions.
TRHad three different wives during run of "Combat"
TRSpeaks Spanish, French, Italian, and Chines
TREnjoys flying, hunting, fishing, and underwater swimming
TRPlays guitar

BGcame here, in 1936, as a masked hero in "The Vigilantes are Coming"

BG"Three Mesquiteer" series. He had more appearances (29) in that series
BGthan anyone else. He played other cowboy roles (Zorro  in "The Bold

BGBorn in Grodek, Poland, Ross Martin grew up in New York City's East
BGHe spoke Yiddish, Polish, and Russian before even learning English and
BGlater added French, Spanish, and Italian to his amazing  repetoire.
BGDespite academic training (and receiving honors in) business,
BGinstruction, and law, M. Martin chose a career of acting.  His first film
BGwas the George Pal production _Conquest of Space_. Soon after, he caught
BGthe eye of Blake Edwards, who cast him in a number of widely varied
BGroles, culminating with a fantastic part in _The Great Race_ (1965).
BGRoss somehow managed a series in between, the short-lived _Mr. Lucky_.
BGWith the release of _The Great Race_, CBS cast M. Martin in what was to
BGbecome his most famous part, Secret Service agent Artemus Gordon in _The
BGWild Wild West_, opposite Robert Conrad. Perhaps the show's cancellation
BGin 1969 was for the best- M. Martin suffered a near-fatal heart attack in
BG'68 . Afraid to take the risk of having a lead actor with a heart
BGcondition, the networks snubbed M. Martin with regards to a lead role,
BGyet he appeared as a guest star in an amazing number of programs, not all

QU[To a reporter] "Abe, did you ever realize that any coin has three sides?
QUYep, it has two faces and an edge...and it can stand or fall on that
QUedge. Now here's how that applies to [television] shows... You see,
QUevery show has a hero.  He's one side of the coin.  His character, no
QUmatter how weak he appears at times, must be one the audience can pull
QUfor.  But the very nature of his role, the good guy who must win, makes
QUhim bigger than life- and pretty much black and white- yet the audience
QUmust identify, sympathize, even idolize him.  Now we have the second
QUside of the coin -- the co-star.  He must make his own characterization
QUclear, but also- because his role is more flexible- he must work to
QUcreate a visual relationship that will make the audience feel they
QUreally know and understand both characters. It's a sort of truth you
QUonly learn about through working... the third side is the important one
QU-- the edge. This edge is the relation I talked about between the
QUco-stars. If it's properly established by interplay between the
QUco-stars, it humanizes the hero, rounds out what might be just a
QUtwo-dimensional basic character.  By establishing loyalty and warmth
QUbetween the co-stars, it can give the audience insight into more than
QUjust the action they are watching.  They can be made to feel there is
QUmore to the show than just one man following another to victory over the
QUbad guys..." -Ross Martin discussing his "nagger" with reporter

BGThe son of a policeman and a nurse, Russ Meyer made amateur films in
BGhis early teens, winning prizes at 15.  He spent World War II in Europe
BGas a newsreel cameraman, then became a professional photographer,
BGshooting some of the earliest 'Playboy' centrefolds.  He made his film
BGdebut in 1959 with 'The Immoral Mr.Teas', the first 'nudie' film (soft-
BGcore sex film) to make a profit (over a million dollars), which led to
BGa string of self-financed films that gradually became more bizarre,
BGviolent and cartoonish.  In 1964-5 he established his style with his
BG'Gothic period' a quartet of black-and-white films ('Lorna',
BG'Mudhoney', 'Motor Psycho', 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!') that many
BGconsider to be his best work.  After the blockbusting 'Vixen' (1968),
BGhe was hired by 20th-Century Fox to make studio pictures.  The first of
BGthese, 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls' (1970), was an enormous hit,
BGbut after the lukewarm reception of the uncharacteristically serious
BG'The Seven Minutes' (1972), Meyer returned to the sex-and-violence
BGfilms that made his name, culminating in the delirious 'Beneath the
BGValley of the Ultravixens' (1979).  He spent the 1980s working on
BGvarious autobiographies, both in film ('The Breast of Russ Meyer') and
BGprint ('A Clean Breast').

BGRyan was born in Pomona, California to Anita Lynne Rultenberg
BGand Sean Patrick O'Donohue.
BGHe has acted in Community Theatre until he was 9 years old.
BGHe got interested in professional acting after his 9th birthday.
BGHe wanted his father to buy him a new Sega Genesis Video Game. His
BGFather told him he could not afford to buy him video games more than
BGa few per year. He told him to get a job.
BGRyan's response was, What can I do? He was told he could do paper
BGroutes or cut lawns as his father had done when he was his age.
BGRyan responded with: You need a car to deliver newspapers and
BGillegal aliens do all the lawn cutting around Southern California.
BGHis father said that he could try acting, because we lived around
BGLos Angeles, but that it was a long shot and don't expect anything
BGto happen for a long time. Also if you are going to persue this
BGthe only help his father was to offer was to pay for pictures and
BGdrive Ryan to auditions.  All telephone calls and appointments were
BGgoing to have to be made by Ryan in order to prove his interest.
BGRyan took care of contacting agents and photographers and within
BGone month of getting his Agent, Ryan and his Dad were filming Ryan's
BGfirst prime time series in Hawaii called "The Byrds of Paradise".
BGAfter returning from Hawaii, the show was cancelled after the first
BGseason. Ryan got a part in the movie "Tales of the Crypt: Demon Night".
BGHe then got a voiceover part with Disney for Simba the lion for all
BGvideo games and story books.
BGRyan starred in the CBS series "The Boys are Back"
BGwith Suzanne Pleshette and Hal Linden.

BGHis father John had been a carpenter, his mother Arlyn a secretary in
BGthe Bronx. They met in California in 1968 where they worked as
BGitinerant fruit pickers. By the time River was two they were members
BGof the Children of God, living in South America, where John was the
BGsect's "Archbishop of Venezuela". In 1977 they moved to Los Angeles
BGand changed their name to Phoenix. His parents encouraged all their
BGchildren to get into movies, and by age ten River was acting
BGprofessionally on TV. His film debut was in "Explorers" (1985),
BGfollowed rapidly by box-office successes with "Stand by Me" and "The
BGMosquito Coast" (1986) and as young Indiana in "Indiana Jones and the
BGLast Crusade" (1989). His role as Danny Pope in "Running on Empty"
BG(1988) earned him an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting
BGActor. His best role was probably Mike, the hustler in "My Own Private
BGIdaho" (1991). He died aged 23 outside Johnny Depp's Los Angeles club,

DD28 November 1976
 
BGThe middle of seven children, she was named after the S.S.
BGRosalind at the suggestion of her father, a successful lawyer.
BGAfter Catholic school education she went to the American Academy
BGof Dramatic Art in New York having convinced her mother that she
BGintended to teach acting.  In 1934, with some stock company work
BGand a little Broadway experience, she was tested and signed by
BGUniversal. Simultaneously MGM tested her and made her a better
BGoffer. Pleading ignorance of Hollywood (while wearing her worst
BGfitting clothes) Universal released her and she signed with MGM
BGfor seven years. For some time she was used in secondary roles and
BGas a replacement threat to limit Myrna Loy's salary demands.
BGKnowing she was right for comedy, she tried five times for the
BGrole of Syliva Fowler in "The Women".  George Cukor told her to
BG"play her as a freak"; she did and got the part.  Her "boss lady"
BGroles began with the part of reporter Hildy Johnson in "His Girl
BGFriday" through whose male lead, Cary Grant, she met her future
BGhusband, Grant's house guest at the time. In her forties, she
BGreturned to the stage, touring "Bell, Book and Candle" in 1951 and
BGwinning a Tony for "Wonderful Town" in 1953. Columbia, worried the
BGpublic would think she had the female lead in "Picnic", billed her
BG"co-starring Rosalind Russell as Rosemary" (she refused to accept an
BGOscar nomination as supporting actress). "Auntie Mame" kept her on
BGBroadway for two years; the movie version was her last cinematic
BGtriumph.  Oscar nominations: "My Sister Eileen", "Sister Kenny, "
BG"Mourning Becomes Electra", and "Auntie Mame."  In 1972 she received
BGthe Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for contributions to charity.
OWShe wrote the screenplay for Esther Williams' "The Unguarded
OWMoment" (1956) - she rarely acknowledged her scripting efforts.

RNSpringthorpe, Richard Lewis
DB23 August 1949, Sydney, Australia
 
BGRick Springfield was born the son of a Lt. Colonel in the British
BGArmy and spent his childhood on various army bases in Australia
BGand Britain. As a teenager he fronted many music bands-such as
BGthe "Jordy Boys", "Wakedy Wak" and "Zoot".  The latter was his most
BGsuccessful paving his way for his future success as a musician.
BGHowever, that success was still a long time coming. While he waited
BGfor that big break he signed a contract with Universal television
BGwhich cast him in bit parts in shows such as the "Six Million Dollar
BGMan" and "Rockford Files". As well he also had a recurring role on
BGthe soap "The Young and the Restless".  In the early 1980's his
BGluck changed as he signed to RCA Records and was then cast as Dr. Noah
BGDrake on the soap "General Hospital". His first album "Working Class Dog"
BGgave him the #1 single "Jesse's Girl".  From the music and TV
BGexposure he became a teen idol. He ruled the airwaves for a couple
BGof years, ended his stint on "General Hospital", and attempted a
BGa motion picture career, which fizzled. Albeit some small parts
BGon television in the last five years, he has all but disappeared
BGfrom the public eye.
BG6' 2"
BGStarted in a 'quasi' heavy metal band in Australia called Zoot.
BGCame to US early 70's and recorded an album - Beginnings.
BGIt had one "major" hit - Speak to The Sky.  After that came "Comic
BGBook Heroes" which was marginally successful.  Then he learned to speak
BGEnglish without an accent to further his acting career after he lost his
BGrecord label.  Did bit parts in Wonder Woman and a few other 70's shows
BGbefore landing the role as Dr. Noah Drake in 1980.  Shortly after landing
BGthe role, his single "Jessie's Girl" became a #1 record in the USA.
BGHe continued to star on GH while touring and releasing "Success Hasn't
BGSpoiled Me Yet" with the hit "Don't Talk To Strangers".  Upon releasing
BG3rd album with RCA-"Living In Oz" he quit GH and went back to his rock
BGroots.  "Living In Oz" is considered by many his finest
BG(and hardest rock) album.  He starred in the movie "Hard To Hold" in
BG1984 and released the soundtrack to it with the hit
BG"Love Somebody", followed by "Don't Walk Away" and "Bop Til Ya Drop".
BGHis next album "Tao" started his slow descent from
BGrock star to "who?".  It was followed up in 1988 by "Rock Of Life"
BGwhich was his 'moodiest' and least recognized album (by the public).
BGRick had a son Liam who played keyboards and sang in the intro to one
BGof the tracks on ROL (Mind you, Liam was only 3-4 yrs old).
BGThat album stands as his last musical accomplishment to date, although
BGhe did go on to star in the ill-fated tv series "Human Target".
BGAt this point it can only be assumed he is living a content happy family
BGlife somewhere in So. Calif with his wife and child(ren?)

TRHe won a Grammy Award for the song "Jessie's Girl" in 1982.
TRHis first single released was "Speak to the Sky" in 1972.
TRThroughout the 1970's he was mistaken for Bruce Springsteen, because
TRof their similar surnames and musical backgrounds.
TRHe was linked romantically with actress Linda Blair in the 1970's.
TRThere was quite an age difference at the time he was 25 and she was 15!
TRHe is a vegetarian.

BGHis father Giovanni had been in a travelling circus before meeting his
BGmother and settling down as a veterinarian. Though his father was a
BGstrict authoritarian, his mother doted on her "beautiful baby" even to
BGthe exclusion of his older brother Alberto and younger sister Maria.
BGBy the time he was eleven he was an undisciplined, pampered bully. He
BGwas expelled from many schools, finally obtaining a diploma in the
BGScience of Farming from the Academy of Agriculture. He went to Paris
BGwhere he learned apache dancing, joined a gay crowd, returned brokw,
BGtook his inheritance of $4000 and, December 1913, sailed for New York.
BGHe worked as a busboy, then gigolo, while pursuing dance, especially
BGthe tango. In 1917 went to Hollywood and obtained a small dancing part
BGin "Alimony". When he did get acting roles they were villains not
BGlovers.  Script writer June Mathis and director Rex Ingram convinced
BGMetro to do "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and to cast
BGValentino in the lead. The first million dollar production saved Metro
BGand made Rudy a star. It also brought him to the attention of Alla
BGNazimova who wanted him to play opposite her in "Camille". Alla's
BGfriend, Natacha Rambova (nee Winifred Hudnut) became attached to Rudy
BGand they eloped to Mexico 13 May 1922 in the belief his divorce from
BGJean was official. He was jailed as a bigamist and fined $10,000.
BGAfter their re-marriage the following year she fled to Paris having
BGnever entered his new mansion, Falcon Lair. He took up her interest in
BGseances and the occult. He began dating sexy Pola Negri, partly to
BGimprove his image as a man. While touring to promote his last film, an
BGeditorial in the Chicago Tribune accused him of "effeminization of the
BGAmerican male." He defended his manhood by knocking down a New York
BGboxing expert after a few rounds in the ring, dying shortly afterwards.
BG80,000 mourners caused a near riot at his New York funeral. Another
BGfuneral followed in California.
