- Lois Hamilton (Areno) personified a new wave of actresses who built careers on both beauty and brains. Lois attend Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennslyvannia, and the University of Florence in Florence, Italy, where she received degrees in Psychology and Fine Arts. As a top Ford model in the late 1970s, Lois graced the covers and pages of countless magazines, such as "Cosmopolitan", "Fortune", "Mademoiselle", "Italian Vogue", "Prevue", "Neue Revue Illustrierte", "Newsweek", "Paris Match", "Hello", "Redbook", "Ladies' Home Journal", "Glamour", "Time", and many others. Some of her ad campaigns included Chanel, Clarol, Halston, Pucci and Hermes, and she appeared in over 150 commercials worldwide. She was one of the pioneers who made the successful transition from model to actress. When she came to Los Angeles her career immediately took off and she found herself splashed all over the television and movie screens. Within a year she landed more TV stints than any other actress at ICM. She worked with such luminaries as Ivan Reitman, Neil Simon, Sydney Pollack, Robert Redford, Ned Beatty, Burt Reynolds, John Candy, John Larroquette, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Bill Murray, Jane Fonda, Dean Martin, Carl Reiner, David Carradine, Sammy Davis Jr., Steve Guttenberg, Howard W. Koch, Albert S. Ruddy, Hal Needham, and Thomas R. Bond II to name a few. She was one of the privileged few to be photographed by George Hurrell Sr. before his death. When she wasn't involved in a feature film or television project, she took to the skies--she was a licensed private pilot. She logged over 600 hours and was an accomplished aerobatic pilot flying her 1936 German biplane. In addition, Lois was also a titled Italian baroness with a family that lays claim to the most noble of ancestries dating back to 11th-century Naples. Not one to be typecast as just another pretty face, and in keeping with her artistic talents, she was also an accomplished sculptress, painter and writer. She exhibited her bronze sculptures and oil paintings in many one-woman shows in Los Angeles. An author as well, she penned her first novel, "Move Over Tarzan," a woman's guide on how to be as assertive as the most aggressive, successful man using a woman's femininity. Lois Hamilton was definitely a woman ahead of her time.

As a young man, Lars Hensen ventured into the motion picture industry during a time when there was a need for extras to play pilots and airmen in war films. He found steady work as just another face in the crowd.
It wasn't until the late 40s when Hensen found his true calling. He regularly gained work as a stand-in for films and television shows. This opened up a new avenue for him because as long as the actor that Hensen was standing in for worked, so did Hensen. Usually the actor would allow the stand-in to appear as an extras and sometimes the principle actor would give his stand-in dialog or a silent bit where he would interact with the character and get paid as more than the day rate fate for an extra.
By the 1960s, Hensen caught his big break. He developed a friendship with Lee J. Cobb and he regularly worked as his stand-in on The Virginian. During this time, Hensen received steady work as various cowhands, court clerks, or whatever Cobb could do to take care of Hensen. He also developed a good reputation with other casting directors so when Cobb wasn't working, Hensen found steady work as a stand-in and extra in other programs.
During the mid 1980s, Hensen's career really began to slow down. He had outlived the western genre and his rough appearance and advanced age started to take a toll on his work so in the 1980s, he decided to return back to Philadelphia to be closer to his family. Though he passed away in 1999, he left a long lasting legacy of a career that started during the peak of motion pictures and lasted through the rise of the music videos.- Hope Jackman was born on 12 October 1921 in St George Hanover Square, London, England, UK.
