BGOne of Hollywood's pre-eminent male stars of all time (eclipsed, per-
BGhaps, only by "King" Clark Gable and arguably by Gary Cooper or Spencer
BGTracy), and the cinema's quintessential "tough guy". Was also an accom-
BGplished if rather stiff hoofer and easily played light comedy.
BGEnding three decades on the screen, retired to his farm in Stanford-
BGville, New York (some 77 miles/124 km. north of his New York City
BGbirthplace), after starring in Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" (1961).
BGEmerged from retirement to star in the 1981 screen adaptation of E.L.
BGDoctorow's novel "Ragtime", in which he was reunited with his frequent
BGco-star of the 30's, the actor Pat O'Brien (qv), and which was his last
BGtheatrical film. (Ironically - or fittingly, if one prefers - it was
BGO'Brien's last film as well.)
BGCagney's final performance came in the title role of the made-for-TV
BGmovie "Terrible Joe Moran" (1984), in which he played opposite Art
BGCarney (qv).
TRBrother of actor-producer William Cagney (qv) and of actress Jeanne
TRCagney (qv).
TRFilms co-starring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien were these: "Here Comes
TRthe Navy" (1934); "Devil Dogs of the Air, " "The Irish in Us, " "Ceiling
TRZero" (all 1935); "Boy Meets Girl, " "Angels with Dirty Faces" (both
TR1938); "The Fighting 69th, " "Torrid Zone" (both 1940); as well as
TRtheir finale together, four decades later, "Ragtime" (1981).

DB15 September 1971, Baltimore Maryland
 
BGJosh Charles is considered one of the "brat pack" of the '90s, an
BGX-generation actor who got his start with Ethan Hawke in 1989's
BGDead Poets Society.  He has been cast in "sensitive" roles, first
BGas shy, love-struck Knox Overstreet in Dead Poets Society, then
BGas a comic, troubled youth in Crossing the Bridge ('92) and
BGfinally as a "sexually ambivalent" college student in this year's
BGThreesome.
BGCharles was born and raised in Baltimore where his father is
BGpartner is a prominent advertising firm and his mother an advice
BGcolumnist.  His parents divorced in 1982.
BGAlthough baseball is a passion he considered pursuing
BGprofessionally, Charles began stand-up comedy at age 8 and honed
BGhis acting skills for four summers at the Stagedoor Manor in the
BGCatskills. In 1987, he debuted in John Water's Hairspray and has
BGpursued his film career full-time since then.  Perhaps one reason
BGwhy this handsome actor has not splashed Hollywood with six
BGfilms this year like his Threesome co-star and fellow x-generation
BGbuddy Stephen Baldwin, is because he is selective in the projects
BGhe pursues.  "It's like the Tom Waits song", he says.  "I'd rather
BGbe a success on my own terms that a failure on somebody else's".
QU"My dream was to be a baseball player, but that didn't work out.
QUSo I got into acting at a really young age."

BGHer parents separated before she was born. By age sixteen Lucille
BGhad known three fathers, one of whom (a vaudeville theatre manager)
BGhad given her the name Billie Cassin. By 1915 she and her mother
BGlived in Kansas City and Billie worked in a laundry and also as a
BGmenial to pay school tuition. Winning an amateur dance contest in
BG1923 led to chorus work in Chicago, Detroit and New York. New Year's
BGDay of 1925 she left for Hollywood. Before her second picture a
BG"Photoplay" contest led to the name Joan Crawford. With "Our Dancing
BGDaughters" she became a star. She had a string of successes playing a
BGsocialite or rags-to-riches shopgirl, most notably as Crystal Allen
BGin "The Women." She stayed with Warner's for eighteen years. "Mildred
BGPierce" was a defining role and won an Oscar for Joan.  After more
BGthan seventy films she married the Chairman of the Board of Pepsi
BGCola Company with which she remained after his fatal heart attack in
BG1959 (till 1972 when corporate powers saw no further use for her and
BGpushed her out; after that she referred to the CEO as "Fang"). 1962's
BG"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" brought new careers to both Joan
BGCrawford and Bette Davis, though the roles were neither numerous nor
BGflattering. Horrified by a photo taken of her in 1974, she retired
BGcompletely, devoting herself to Christian Science and increasing use
BGof vodka. Her four adopted children received little from her two
BGmillion dollar estate:  $77,500 each for Cathy and Cindy, nothing for
BGChristopher or Christina "for reasons best known to them".

BGJames Dean was raised on a farm by his aunt and uncle in Marion,
BGIndiana. After two years of studying theater he set out to become a
BGprofessional actor.  He received rave reviews for his work as the
BGblackmailing Arab boy in the New York production of Gide's "The
BGImmoralist, " good enough to earn him a trip to Hollywood.  His early
BGfilm efforts were strictly bit parts:  a sailor in the 1951 Martin &
BGLewis overly frantic musical comedy "Sailor Beware"; a GI in the moody
BG1951 Richard Basehart study of a platoon in the Korean War "Fixed
BGBayonets"; a youth in the 1952 Piper Laurie/Rock Hudson comedy "Has
BGAnybody Seen My Gal?".  He had major roles in only three movies.  In
BGthe 1955 Elia Kazan production of Steinbeck's "East of Eden" he played
BGCaleb, the "bad" brother who couldn't force affection from his stiff-
BGnecked father.  His true starring role, the one which fixed his image
BGforever in American culture, was that of the brooding red-jacketed
BGteenager Jim Stark in Nicholas Ray's 1955 "Rebel Without a Cause".
BGFilming of Edna Ferber's "Giant" (George Stevens, 1956), in which he
BGplayed the non-conforming cowhand Jett Rink, was just coming to a
BGclose when Dean, driving his Porsche Spyder at 86mph, collided with
BGanother car just east of Paso Robles, California.  His head was almost
BGsevered from his body.  He had recieved a speeding ticket just two
BGhours before.  His very brief career, violent death and
BGhighly publicized funeral transformed James Dean into a cult object of
BGapparently timeless fascination.

BGAsked what brought him to Hollywood, he replied "The train".  He became
BGone of the most respected directors in the business, in spite of being
BGknown fo his westerns, which were not considered "serious" film.  He won
BGsix Oscars, counting (he always did) the two that he won for his WWII
BGdocumentary work.  He had one wife;  a son and daughter;  and a grandson,
BGDan Ford, who wrote a biography on his famous grandfather.

TRThere was a group of actors, known informally the John Ford
TRStock Company (John Wayne, James Stewart, Harry Carey, John
TRCarradine, Henry Ford, etc.) that turned up regularly in Ford's
TRfilms.  They knew how to work with Ford and with each other,
TRwhich suited Ford's directing style:  "I tell the actors what
TRI want and they give it to me, usually on the first take."

BGBorn Februaru 1929, Jerry Goldsmith studied piano with Jacob Gimpel
BGand composition, theory and counterpoint with Mario
BGCastelnuovo-Tedesco. He also attended classes in film composition
BGgiven by Miklos Rozsa at the Univeristy of Southern California. In
BG1950, he was employed as a clerk typist in the music department at
BGCBS. Here he was given his first embryonic assignments as a composer
BGfor radio shows such as 'Romance' and 'CBS Radio Workshop'. He wrote
BGone score a week for these shows and were performed live on
BGtransmission.
BGHe stayed with CBS until 1960, having already scored 'The Twilight
BGZone'. He was hired by Revue Studios to score their 'Thriller' series.
BGIt was here that he met the influential film composer Alfred Newman
BGwho hired Goldsmith to score the film 'Lonely Are The Brave' (1963),
BGhis first major feature film score.
BGAn experimentalist, Goldsmith is constantly pushing forward the bounds
BGof film music: 'Planet of The Apes' included horns blown without
BGmouthpieces and a bass clarinetist fingering the notes but not
BGblowing. He is unafraid to use the wide variety of electronic sounds
BGand instruments which are now available, although he does not use them
BGfor their own sake.
TRWore an ape mask when conducting the score for 'Planet of The Apes'
QU"If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it
QUwill because it is good."

BGThe dentist's daughter eloped at age 16 with a young businessman and
BGwound up in Los Angeles where she found work as an extra and bit player
BG(e.g., "Moran of the Marines" and "Liberty", 1928) and somewhat more
BGprominently in Laurel and Hardy shorts ("Double Whoopie", "Liberty",
BG"Bacon Grabbers", 1929). Her first big break came in 1930 when Howard
BGHughes remade his 1927 "Hell's Angels" in a sound version, replacing
BGthe heavy accented Swede Greta Nissen with the girl who, with her
BGdivorce in 1929, had adopted her mother's maiden name, Jean Harlow.
BGHughes loaned her out for a number of movies which, like Capra's
BG"Platinum Blonde" (1931), featured her platinum hair and obvious
BGsexuality (she claimed she never wore underwear). In 1932 Hughes sold
BGher to MGM, her "Red-Headed Woman" for them led the Hays Office to
BGprohibit unpunished adultery, and she married Irving Thalberg's right
BGhand man, Paul Bern. The marriage ended after a few weeks: just after
BGhis former common law wife met Harlow Bern shot himself, and a few days
BGlater the other woman took her life. His suicide note hinted at
BGimpotence. She had another brief marriage with cameraman Hal Rosson,
BGfollowed by an affair with William Powell. She made three films with
BGSpencer Tracy and six with Clark Gable, receiving much improved
BGcritical acclaim for her acting, allure and comedic talent. During the
BGfilming of "Saratoga" in 1937 she was hospitalized for uremic
BGpoisoning, dying June 7 of cerebral edema, aged 26.

BGA Law student and part-time drummer in the early 1940s, Jon's life
BGchanged when Charlie Parker heard him scat and urged him to dedicate
BGhimself to singing.  His career crystalized in the late 50s with the
BGformation of vocal jazz trio Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.  Their first
BGalbum, Sing a Song of Basie, was a masterpiece of Vocalese (the
BGtechnique of taking an existing jazz piece or improvised solo and
BGsetting lyrics to it).  The first group to combine vocalese lyrics
BGwith tight independent vocal harmonies, their 50s and 60s recordings
BGhave a style and groove still unmatched.  After the breakup of LH&R
BGJon went on with his solo act, wrote for Broadway and continued to
BGlyricise and arrange tunes for himself and pop groups like the
BGManhattan Transfer (whose 1980s Vocalese album is lyricised by and
BGdedicated to him).  Back on the singing scene since the early 80s with
BGa vocal quartet, Jon Hendricks and Friends are still performing, and
BGstill hot.  If Ella Fitzgerald is the Queen of scat, Jon Hendricks
BGis King.

BGAfter receiving a Bachelor's Degree in music at USC, he would

BGat UCLA.
BGHorner began scoring student films for the American Film
BGInstitute in the late 1970s, which paved the way for scoring
BGassignments on a number of small-scale films. His first
BGbig-budget project was composing music for _Star Trek II: The
BGWrath Of Khan (1982)_ (qv), which would lead to numerous film
BGoffers and opportunities to work with world-class performers
BGsuch as the London Symphony Orchestra. Currently, with over 75
BGprojects to his name, and work with people such as
BG'George Lucas' (qv), 'Steven Spielberg' (qv),
BG'James Cameron' (qv), 'Oliver Stone' (qv), and
BG'Ron Howard' (qv), Horner has firmly established himself as a

BGwhich he followed with bit parts in TV and film, including a very brief

BGShe was the third daughter of Daniel and Anne MacDonald, younger
BGsister to Blossom (MGM's character actress Marie Blake), whom she
BGfollowed to New York and a chorus job in 1920. She was busy in a
BGstring of musical productions. In 1928 Paramount tested and
BGrejected her, but a year later Ernst Lubitsch saw her test and
BGpicked her to play opposite Chevalier in "The Love Parade".
BGMusicals went into decline and Paramount dropped her in 1931; her
BGnext pictures with Chevalier went nowhere. She went to Europe
BGwhere she met Irving Thalberg and his wife Norma Shearer (whom she
BGloaned both her hairdresser and chauffeur). She got the lead in
BGThalberg's property "The Merry Widow", and her next MGM vehicle
BG"Naughty Marietta" brought her together with Nelson Eddy. For her
BGnext project she insisted Clark Gable should co-star. He at first
BGrefused ("I just sit there while she sings. None of that stuff for
BGme."); the movie was "San Francisco."  During World War II she
BGoften did USO shows. She hoped to enter grand opera; she did take
BGlessons and gave concert recitals. Her last public appearance was
BGsinging "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" at the funeral of Louis B.
BGMayer. She suffered heart ailments and, after an arterial
BGtransplant in 1963, died of a heart attack in Houston in 1965.

BGMahoney is of French and Irish extraction, with some Cherokee. At
BGthe University of Iowa he was outstanding in swimming, basketball
BGand football.  When World War II broke out he enlisted as a Marine
BGfighter pilot and instructor. In Hollywood he was a noted stunt man,
BGdoubling for Errol Flynn, John Wayne, and Gregory Peck. Gene Autry
BGsigned him for the lead in his 78-episode "Range Rider" TV series.
BGHe tested to replace Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan but lost out to
BGLex Barker. In 1960 he played the heavy in Gordon Scott's "Tarzan
BGthe Magnificent", and his part there led Sy Weintraub to hire him as
BGScott's replacement. In his two Tarzan movies he did all his own
BGstunts. In "Tarzan's Three Challenges" he continued working in spite
BGof dysentery, dengue fever and pneumonia. By this time Weintraub was
BGlooking for a younger Tarzan, envisioning a future TV series. By
BGmutual agreement his contract with Mahoney was dissolved. After a
BGcouple of years regaining his strength and weight Jock returned to
BGmaking action films.

BGAfter studying at the Institute of Industrial Arts and the Marionette
BGFaculty of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts in the 1950s, Jan Svankmajer
BGstarted working as a theatre director, chiefly in association with the
BGTheatre of Masks and the Black Theatre.  He first experimented with
BGfilm-making after becoming involved with the mixed-media productions of
BGPrague's Lanterna Magika Theatre.  He began making short films in 1964,
BGand continued working in the same medium for over twenty years, when he
BGfinally achieved his long-held ambition to make a feature film based on
BGLewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland ('Alice (1988)' qv).  He has also
BGexhibited his drawings, collages and 'tactile sculptures', many of
BGwhich were produced in the mid-1970s, when he was temporarily banned
BGfrom film-making by the Czech authorities.  He has been a card-carrying
BGmember of the Prague Surrealist Group since 1969.

BGGrowing up in Baltimore in the 50's Waters was not like other
BGchildren; he was obsessed by violence and gore, both real and on
BGthe screen. With his weird counter-culture friends acting, he
BGbegan making silent 8mm and 16mm films in the mid 60's; he
BGscreened these in rented Baltimore church halls to underground
BGaudiences drawn by word-of-mouth and street leafleting campaigns.
BGAs his film-making grew more polished and his subject matter
BGmore shocking, his audiences grew bigger, and his write-ups in
BGthe Baltimore papers more outraged. By the early 70's he was
BGmaking features which he managed to get shown in midnight
BGscreenings in art cinemas by sheer perseverance. Success came when
BG_Pink Flamingos_ - a deliberate exercise in ultra-bad taste -
BGtook off in 1973; helped no doubt by lead actor Divine's
BGinfamous dog-shit eating scene. He continued to make low-budget
BGshocking movies with his Dreamland repertory company, until
BGHollywood crossover success came with _Hairspray_ in 1987, and
BGalthough his movies are now cleaned-up and professional, they
BGretain Waters playfulness, and reflect his life-long obsessions.

BGHis father Clyde was a pharmacist with a lung condition which required
BGhim to move wife Mary and son Marion to the warmer climate of southern
BGCalifornia where they tried ranching near the Mojave desert. Till the
BGranch failed he and his younger brother Robert swam in an irrigation
BGditch and road a horse to school. Next the family moved to Glendale
BGwhere Marion delivered medicines for his father, sold newspapers, and
BGhad an Airedale dog named "Duke" (the source of his own nickname). He
BGdid well at school both academically and in football. When he narrowly
BGfailed admission to Annapolis he went to USC on a football scholarship
BG1925-7. Tom Mix got him a summer job as a prop man in exchange for
BGfootball tickets. On the set he became close friends with director John
BGFord for whom, among others, he began doing bit parts, some billed as
BGDuke Morrison. His first featured film was "Men Without Women" (1930).
BGAfter more than 70 low-budget adventures, mostly oaters, Ford cast him
BGin "Stagecoach" (1939), the movie through which he emerged as a major
BGstar. He appeared nearly 250 movies, many of epic proportions. From
BG1942-3 he was in a radio series "The Three Sheets to the Wind" and in
BG1944 he helped found the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation
BGof American Ideals, later becoming its president. His right-wing
BGpolitical stance was also reflected in "The Alamo" (1960) which he
BGproduced, directed and starred in. His superhawk stand was enshrined in
BG"The Green Berets" (1968) which he co-directed and starred in. In 1963
BGhe had a cancerous lung removed; in 1978 there was open-heart surgery;
BGin 1979 his stomach was removed. He received the Best Actor nomination
BGfor "The Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949) and the Oscar for his role as
BGRooster Cogburn in "True Grit" (1969). A Congressional Medal was struck
BGin his honor. He is perhaps best remembered for his parts in the
BGcavalry trilogy -- "Fort Apache" (1948), "She Waore a Yellow Ribbon"
BG(1949) and "Rio Grande" (1950).

BGbecame a six-three 190 pound champion athlete:  undefeated winner
BGof five Olympic gold medals, 67 world and 52 national titles,
BGholder of every freestyle record from 100 yards to the half-mile.
BGIn his first picture, "Glorifying the American Girl", he appeared
BGas an Adonis clad only in a figleaf. After great success with a
BGjungle movie, MGM head Louis B. Mayer, via Irving Thalberg,
BGoptioned two of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan stories. Cyril Hume,
BGworking on the adaptation of "Tarzan the Ape Man", noticed
BGWeissmuller swimming in the pool at his hotel and suggested him
BGfor the part of Tarzan.  Weissmuller was under contract with BVD
BGto model underwear and swimsuits; MGM got him released by agreeing
BGto pose many of its female stars in BVD swimsuits.  They billed
BGhim as "the only man in Hollywood who's natural in the flesh and
BGcan act without clothes."  "Tarzan the Ape Man" was an immediate
BGboxoffice and critical hit.  Seeing he was popular with girls, the
BGstudio told him to divorce his wife and paid her $10,000 to agree
BGwith it.  After 1942 MGM had used up its options; it dropped

BGBorn in southern China, John Woo grew up in Hong Kong, where he began
BGhis film career as an assistant director in 1969, working for Shaw
BGBrothers Studios.  He directed his first feature in 1973, and has been
BGa prolific director ever since, working in a wide variety of genres
BGbefore 'A Better Tomorrow' (1986) established his reputation as a
BGmaster stylist specialising in ultra-violent gangster films and
BGthrillers, with hugely elaborate action scenes shot with breathtaking
BGpanache.  After gaining a cult reputation in the US with 'The Killer'
BG(1989), Woo was offered a Hollywood contract.  He plans to stay working
BGin the US.
TRJohn Woo's many American admirers include the likes of Martin
TRScorsese, Sam Raimi (who compared Woo's mastery of action to
TRHitchcock's mastery of suspense) and Quentin Tarantino (who, replying
TRto a studio executive saying "I suppose Woo can direct action scenes"
TRsaid "Sure, and Michelangelo can paint ceilings!")
TRJohn Woo is the first Asian director ever to make a mainstream
TRHollywood film ('Hard Target', 1993)
