Considered by many critics to be the greatest living actress, Meryl
Streep has been nominated for the Academy Award an astonishing 21
times, and has won it three times. Meryl was born Mary Louise Streep in
1949 in Summit, New Jersey, to Mary Wolf (Wilkinson), a commercial
artist, and Harry William Streep, Jr., a pharmaceutical executive. Her
father was of German and Swiss-German descent, and her mother had English, Irish, and German ancestry.
Meryl's early performing ambitions leaned toward the opera. She became

enrolled in the Yale School of Drama. She gave an outstanding
performance in her first film role,

nominated for her first Oscar for her role in
The Deer Hunter (1978). She went
on to win the Academy Award for her performances in
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and
Sophie's Choice (1982), in which
she gave a heart-wrenching portrayal of an inmate mother in a Nazi
death camp.
A perfectionist in her craft and meticulous and painstaking in her
preparation for her roles, Meryl turned out a string of highly
acclaimed performances over the next decade in great films like
Silkwood (1983);
Out of Africa (1985);
Ironweed (1987); and
A Cry in the Dark (1988). Her career
declined slightly in the early 1990s as a result of her inability to
find suitable parts, but she shot back to the top in 1995 with her
performance as Clint Eastwood's
married lover in
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
and as the prodigal daughter in
Marvin's Room (1996). In 1998 she
made her first venture into the area of producing, and was the
executive producer for the moving

In 1979 with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell raised $350,000 for a low-budget film, The Evil Dead (1981), in which he starred and co-executive produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out The Shining (1980). After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it "the most ferociously original horror film of the year", New Line Cinema stepped forward to release "Evil Dead" in the U.S.
After co-producing Crimewave (1985), a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Raimi, Ethan and Joel Coen, Campbell moved to Los Angeles and quickly gained a foothold producing or starring in genre films such as the Maniac Cop (1988) series, Lunatics: A Love Story (1991), Moontrap (1988), and Mindwarp (1991), a post-apocalyptic "Jeremiah Johnson", during which he met his wife-to-be, filmmaker, Ida Gearon.
Campbell then rejoined his Detroit colleagues to star and co-produce the second and third films in the Evil Dead trilogy (Evil Dead II (1987) & Army of Darkness (1992)), completing 12 years of work on the cult favorite.
This rough-and-tumble background was a plus as Campbell made his foray into television, first starring in the highly touted Fox series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993), then as a recurring guest-star on the hit show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993).
With these under his belt, Campbell easily made the transition to director, helming numerous episodes and recurring as the King of Thieves in the #1 syndicated Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995), and its follow-up phenomenon, Xena: Warrior Princess (1995).
Bruce has since expanded his range on television, appearing in anything from Disney's update of The Love Bug (1997), to decidedly dramatic turns on the acclaimed series Homicide: Life on the Street (1993) and The X-Files (1993). At the invitation of ABC, Campbell ventured into the world of sitcoms with a recurring role on ABC's Emmy-nominated Ellen (1994), participating in one of the three touted "out" episodes.
But Campbell didn't abandon his film roots. During that time, he had featured roles in the blockbuster Congo (1995), John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. (1996), and the award-winning independent crime drama, Running Time (1997). He followed these up with roles in Paramount's romantic comedy, Serving Sara (2002), Jim Carrey's The Majestic (2001), and all three of Sam Raimi's blockbuster Spider-Man movies.
After a return to episodic television in the swashbuckling series, Jack of All Trades (2000), Campbell took the title role in MGM's cult sleeper Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). His directorial debut, Man with the Screaming Brain (2005) premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, and Dark Horse Comics published the comic adaptation.
Campbell then directed and starred as himself in My Name Is Bruce (2007), a spoof of his B-movie career, then re-teamed with Disney for their fun-filled hit, Sky High (2005).
Campbell has since made the leap into other forms of entertainment, and is enjoying his role as an author with back-to-back New York Times bestsellers: a memoir entitled "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor", and his first novel, "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way".
In the multi-media industry, Bruce has enjoyed voicing characters for Disney's animated TV series The Legend of Tarzan (2001) and the Warner Brothers feature The Ant Bully (2006). He also portrayed the character of "Mayor Shelbourne" in the animated hit film, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009). Recently, Campbell voiced the role of "Rod Torque Redline" in Cars 2 (2011), the sequel to the smash Disney animated feature and for the immensely popular game, "Call of Duty".
In 2013, Bruce co-produced the hit remake of Evil Dead (2013), joined his filmmaking pal Sam Raimi on Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and completed an impressive seven-year run on the spy show, Burn Notice (2007) (2007-2013), USA's #1 show on cable.
More than two decades after the release of Army of Darkness (1992), Bruce returned to his most iconic role for Ash vs Evil Dead (2015), a highly-anticipated series premiering on the Starz network on Halloween 2015.- Actor

Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress,
advocate, mother or author. What unites these various parts is a
commitment through her work and her personal life to exploring and
advancing human potential.
Lindsay first came to prominence in the critically-acclaimed role of
Susan Fields in
The Paper Chase (1973), but
received household recognition worldwide when she broke the mold for
women on television with her iconic portrayal of Jaime Sommers. As she
collaborated with the writers,
The Bionic Woman (1976)
became an inspiration around the world and, in 1977, Lindsay won the
Emmy for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series".
Her now-strong influence in the media and a desire to use that as a way
to communicate ideas to help people in their personal journey is
demonstrated in so many of the films in which she starred, such as:
The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel (1979),
the struggle between naturopathic and allopathic healthcare (1979);
I Want to Live (1983),
the moral dilemma regarding capital punishment (1983);
Child's Cry (1986), child
sexual abuse (1986);
The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story (1988),
some root complexities of terrorism (1988);
Evil in Clear River (1988),
the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America (1988);
Shattered Dreams (1990),

Thicker Than Water (2005),
expressing compassion for the animal kingdom and the importance of
family (2005);
Four Extraordinary Women (2006),
the emotional effect of breast cancer on family members (2006). As a
result of the volume of her successful productions, she was often
referred to as the "Queen of TV Movies".
Lindsay has long been acknowledged as one of the top leading
spokespersons in the United States, a role she took very seriously with
regard to the impact it would have on the public, which in turn
reinforced her position as a respected voice in the community. She was
given a Genii Award as "Performer of the Year" in 1985. Lindsay has
co-authored a bestselling vegetarian cookbook, "The High Road to
Health" (1990) and "Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The Acupressure
Facelift" (1986). She has recently released a meditation CD, "Open to
Oneness".
Off-screen, Lindsay is passionate about the study and sharing of
holistic healing modalities, integrating mind, body and spirit. For 25
years, she has been the Honorary Chair of ICAN (Inter-Agency Council on
Child Abuse and Neglect). She has also been heavily involved in human
rights, domestic violence, animal welfare and the environment. From
2003-2006, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department, Lindsay co-facilitated a counseling group for convicted
batterers and their families. Her work utilized a range of
psychological and spiritual techniques.
For the public, Lindsay facilitates experiential "Quiet the Mind & Open
the Heart" workshops and retreats. These programs are designed to help
overcome our own personal challenges, while accessing the peace and joy
that is naturally within us. Lindsay offers these programs to the
public as well as special interest groups as a way of sharing, that
which has greatly impacted her life.- Actress

Kris Kristofferson was born in Brownsville, Texas, to Mary Ann
(Ashbrook) and Lars Henry Kristofferson. His paternal grandparents were
Swedish, and his father was a United States Air Force general who
pushed his son to a military career. Kris was a Golden Gloves boxer and
went to Pomona College in California. From there, he earned a Rhodes
scholarship to study literature at Oxford University. He ultimately
joined the United States Army and achieved the rank of captain. He
became a helicopter pilot, which served him well later. In 1965, he
resigned his commission to pursue songwriting. He had just been
assigned to become a teacher at USMA West Point. He got a job sweeping
floors in Nashville studios. There he met
Johnny Cash, who initially took some
of his songs but ignored them. He was also working as a commercial
helicopter pilot at the time. He got Cash's attention when he landed
his helicopter in Cash's yard and gave him some more tapes. Cash then
recorded Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down", which was voted
the 1970 Song of the Year by the Country Music Association. Kris was
noted for his heavy boozing. He lost his helicopter pilot job when he
passed out at the controls, and his drinking ruined his marriage to
singer Rita Coolidge, when he was reaching
a bottle and half of Jack Daniels daily. He gave up alcohol in 1976.
His acting career nose-dived after making
Heaven's Gate (1980). In recent
years, he has made a comeback with his musical and acting careers. He
does say that he prefers his music, but says his children are his true
legacy.- Actor

Originally planning to become a lawyer, Billy Wilder abandoned that
career in favor of working as a reporter for a Viennese newspaper,
using this experience to move to Berlin, where he worked for the city's
largest tabloid. He broke into films as a screenwriter in 1929 and
wrote scripts for many German films until Adolf Hitler came to power in
1933. Wilder immediately realized his Jewish ancestry would cause
problems, so he emigrated to Paris, then the US. Although he spoke no
English when he arrived in Hollywood, Wilder was a fast learner and
thanks to contacts such as Peter Lorre (with whom he shared an apartment),
he was able to break into American films. His partnership with Charles Brackett
started in 1938 and the team was responsible for writing some of
Hollywood's classic comedies, including Ninotchka (1939) and Ball of Fire (1941). The
partnership expanded into a producer-director one in 1942, with
Brackett producing and the two turned out such classics as Five Graves to Cairo (1943),
The Lost Weekend (1945) (Oscars for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay) and Sunset Blvd. (1950)
(Oscars for Best Screenplay), after which the partnership dissolved.
(Wilder had already made one film, Double Indemnity (1944) without Brackett, as the
latter had refused to work on a film he felt dealt with such
disreputable characters.) Wilder's subsequent self-produced films would
become more caustic and cynical, notably Ace in the Hole (1951), though he also
produced such sublime comedies as Some Like It Hot (1959) and The Apartment (1960) (which won him
Best Picture and Director Oscars). He retired in 1981.- Actor

Ralph Waite was born in White Plains, New York on June 22, 1928. Educated
at Bucknell University where he graduated with a BA degree, Waite
existed rather aimlessly as a young adult while trying to find his way
in the world. Occupations came and went, including social worker,
religious editor for Harper & Row, and even Presbyterian minister after
spending three years at the Yale School of Divinity. At age 30,
however, he began to study acting and found his true life's passion.
Waite made his professional NY debut in a 1960 production of "The
Balcony" at the Circle in the Square and was seen on Broadway in "Blues
for Mister Charlie" before earning fine reviews in 1965 alongside
Faye Dunaway in "Hogan's Goat". This was
enough to encourage him to move West where he began collecting bit
parts in prestigious movies, including
Cool Hand Luke (1967) and
Five Easy Pieces (1970). One of
those films, the coming-of-age
Last Summer (1969) starred an
up-and-coming talent named
Richard Thomas, who, of course,
would figure prominently in Waite's success story in years to come.
Waite continued to thrive as well on the stage appearing in both
contemporary plays ("The Trial of Lee Harvey Osward") as well as
Shakespearean classics (Claudius in "Hamlet" and Orsino in "Twelfth
Night").
Stardom came for him in the form of the gentle, homespun Depression-era
series The Waltons (1972). In the
TV-movie pilot, the roles of John and Olivia Walton were played by
Andrew Duggan and
Patricia Neal. The
Earl Hamner Jr. series, however, would
welcome Waite along with
Michael Learned, and make both, as well
as Richard Thomas playing their
son John-Boy, household names. Waite also directed several episodes of
the series during the nine seasons. Throughout the seventies, he strove
to expand outside his Walton patriarchal casting with other TV
mini-movie endeavors. Those included
Roots (1977), for which he received an
Emmy nomination, the title role in
The Secret Life of John Chapman (1976),
OHMS (1980),
Angel City (1980) and
The Gentleman Bandit (1981).
He also appeared in a few films including
On the Nickel (1980) which he wrote
and directed.
Throughout the run of the series, Waite continued to revert back to his
theater roots from time to time. Notable was his role as Pozzo in
Waiting for Godot (1977),
which was televised by PBS, and a return to Broadway with "The Father"
in 1981. Waite also founded the Los Angeles Actors Theatre in 1975 and
served as its artistic director.
The Waltons (1972), which earned
him an Emmy nomination, ended in 1981 and Waite ventured on to other TV
character roles during the 80s and 90s but less visibly. In his second
TV series
The Mississippi (1982), which
was produced by his company Ralph Waite Productions, he played a
criminal lawyer who abandoned his practice (almost) for a leisurely
life captaining a riverboat. It lasted only a year. There have been
other more recent theater excursions including "Death of a Salesman"
(1998), "The Gin Game" (1999), "Ancestral Voices (2000) and "This Thing
of Darkness" (2002). He also had a recurring role on the offbeat HBO
series Carnivàle (2003) and in 2009
began putting time in on the daytime soap
Days of Our Lives (1965) as
Father Matt. Waite was able to carry with him a certain grizzled, rumpled,
craggy-faced, settled-in benevolence, although he was quite capable of
villainy. He always seemed more comfortable in front of the camera
wearing a dusty pair of work clothes than a suit. He continued to act well into his 80s, most notably playing the father of Mark Harmon on NCIS (2003).
For many years, Waite had held passionate political ambitions. He twice
ran unsuccessfully for a Congressional seat -- in 1990 and 1998. A Palm
Desert resident during his second attempt, the 70-year-old Californian
was a Democratic hopeful for a seat left vacant by the late
Sonny Bono after his fatal skiing accident in
1998. He was ultimately defeated by Bono's widow,
Mary Bono.
Waite died in Palm Desert, California on February 13, 2014, at age 85. He is survived by his third wife, Linda East, whom he married in 1982 and two daughters from his first marriage.- Actor

He was once nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the domineering studio head Jack Lipnick in "Barton Fink" (1991). Other well-known roles include crime boss Arnold Rothstein (1882-1928) in "Eight Men Out" (1988), Mayor Ebert in "Godzilla" (1998), and Senator Brickman in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014).
In 1941, Lerner was born to a family of Romanian-Jewish descent. His father was George Lerner, a fisherman and antiques dealer. Lerner was primarily raised in Solon, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland), and in the port area of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Red Hook was the site of a shack city for the homeless during the 1930s, and had a reputed connection to organized crime for most of the 20th century.
Lerner started his acting career as a theatrical actor. During the 1960s, he performed with the American Conservatory Theater (ACT), a nonprofit theater company based in San Francisco, California. He made his film debut in the comedy-drama "Alex in Wonderland" (1970). The film concerns a film director who has had only one box-office hit in his career, and is uncertain about his options in life.
Over the following years, Lerner mostly played supporting roles in various films. He enjoyed some success in horror films, portraying the Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Police Department in "Maniac Cop 2" (1990), and a private detective in "Omen IV: The Awakening" (1991). The most acclaimed role in his career was portraying Jack Lipnick in "Barton Fink" (1991). His character was the head of a film studio who constantly switched between flattering and threatening his employees, but maintained complete control over them. Lerner was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but the award went to veteran actor Jack Palance. Lerner did, however, win the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Lerner found steady work in films throughout the 1990s. He portrayed bank president Edward H. Biderman in the comedy "Blank Check" (1994), where the bank is used for money laundering. He portrayed a short-tempered police lieutenant in the comedy thriller "Radioland Murders" (1994), with his character ultimately unable to prevent the serial killer of the film from pursuing his agenda. He portrayed Professor Marcus in "Tale of the Mummy" (1998), a respected scholar who is manipulated into killing someone.
Lerner was still active in the 2000s. He portrayed a doctor in "Mockingbird Don't Sing" (2001), a fictionalized depiction of the life of the feral child Genie (1957-). He portrayed domineering CEO Fulton Greenway in the Christmas comedy "Elf" (2003). He portrayed father figure Harvey Wiener in the comedy-drama "Life During Wartime" (2009).
Lerner had relatively few new roles in the 2010s, but some were still memorable. He portrayed ruthless politician Wesley Mouch in the science fiction film "Atlas Shrugged: Part I" (2011), based on Ayn Rand's iconic novel.
Lerner portrayed the Baron in the fantasy comedy "Mirror Mirror" (2012), an elite courtier who has won the favor of the wicked queen played by Julia Roberts. He portrayed Senator Brickman in the superhero film "X-Men: Days of Future Past", a politician who votes to sever funding for the Sentinel program. Lerner portrayed real-life producer/MGM studio executive Louis B. Mayer in "First Oscar" (2022). - Actress

York, to a Puerto Rican mother, Aurea Elena Ruiz, and a German
immigrant father, Edward Karl Pruetzel. Freddie grew up in the
Washington Heights section of New York City. As a chubby child, he was
often bullied, but was quite creative and bright in his extracurricular
activities (he was known to have handmade a ham radio, which he used
regularly). Early on, he aspired to become famous, and, after enrolling
at Fiorella LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts, he obtained a
job at the Improv Club, in New York, where people started to take
notice of his comedic talent (but the long hours he worked at night,
balanced by increasing absences in school, caused him to drop out of
high school to pursue comedy full-time). He changed his name to Freddie
Prinze (to indicate that he was "The Prince of Comedy"). In December
1973, he was invited to perform on "The Tonight Show with Johnny
Carson", which proved to be a breakthrough performance, as he was
invited to chat with Johnny after his performance (only two other
comedians have enjoyed that privilege). Soon afterwards, he won the
role of "Chico Rodriquez" in an NBC-produced TV series called
Chico and the Man (1974)(he
and co-star Jack Albertson forged
a great friendship while working on the show). In 1975, he released a
comedy album, titled "Looking Good", and further boosted his popularity
with appearances on various TV shows (such as the "Tony Orlando &
Dawn" show). In Las Vegas in August 1975, he married Katherine Cochran,
with whom he had a son, Freddie Prinze, Jr. (born on March 8, 1976 in
Albuquerque, New Mexico). He loved his role as a father, and his
growing popularity. But all the fame had a downside to it: Freddie
developed an addiction to drugs (namely Quaaludes and cocaine), and was
subsequently arrested in Nov. 1976 for DUI. His marriage
was dissolving, and he separated from his wife. He started to mention thoughts of suicide to many of his close
friends and family including his friends singer Tony Orlando
and comedian David Brenner. In January 1977, following his final
public appearance at the Inaugural Ball for President Jimmy Carter,
22-year-old Freddie called his mother, friends and manager and
announced that he was committing suicide. While his manager tried to
stop him, he placed a .32 caliber pistol against his temple and pulled
the trigger.He was rushed to
UCLA Medical Center with a massive head wound. He was kept on life
support until January 29, 1977, when his family decided to
turn off the life support. - Actor
