Carlin Elizabeth Glynn was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Mirabeau B. Lamar High School in Houston, Texas. A life member of The Actors Studio, she debuted with amazing success as the Texas madam Mona Stangley in the original production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, for which she won the 1979 Tony Award as Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical. It had originally opened in New York Off-Broadway.
Glynn died on Thursday, July 13, 2023, aged 83. Her daughter, Mary Stuart Masterson posted the only notice of Glynn's passing:
"... my mother, Carlin Glynn Masterson, passed away. I was with her. I will always be grateful for those last moments, no matter how hard. Death is like birth in the oddest way. From my first breath to her last. This thread is as fragile as it is strong. She was the most graceful clumsy person you would ever meet. Strong, smart, silly, intuitive, kind, generous, passionate and a deep listener. She was devoted to my father and to the enormous circle of students and collaborators who were considered her chosen family. The stanza is from Seamus Heaney's poem, Clearances. The last photo is from her 80th birthday party, before the worst of dementia and cancer took their toll. She never lost her sense of joy or wonder.

The silly guy pictured with her is my dear brother @seppisigh. Rest in peace, mommy."- Actor

Swarthy, stage-trained actor Michael Tolan was born Seymour Tuchow on November 27, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan. During and following graduation from Wayne State University, he appeared in radio serials. After studying under acting guru Stella Adler and performing in such classic theater productions as "Uncle Vanya," "Candida," "The Importance of Being Earnest," "Oedipus," "Coriolanus" and "The Grass Is Always Greener," he made his debut on Broadway in the 1955 hit George Axelrod comedy "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" This, in turn, led to a rise in stature with strong assignments in "A Hatful of Rain," "Romanoff and Juliet," "A Majority of One" and "The Far Country."
Tolan began on film (billed as Lawrence Tolan in the beginning) with several bit roles, often as ethnics, between the years 1951 and 1953, including The Enforcer (1951), Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison (1951), Fort Worth (1951), The Savage (1952), Hiawatha (1952) and Ich suche dich (1956), but was not given the breaks to rise to feature status and quickly left the medium.
Tolan instead focused on TV, from the mid-1950s on, as a utility player, playing a wide range of roles over a long period of time. His strong voice also proved capable of narrative projects. Following a year's stint on The Doctors and the Nurses (1962), his momentum started to pick up. He played Lazarus in the all-star Biblical epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), appeared in support of Dustin Hoffman on stage in "The Journey of the Fifth Horse" and in the film John and Mary (1969), and was a regular on The Bold Ones: The Senator (1970). Sporadic filming included his featured roles as a western gun-wielder in Hour of the Gun (1967), an inspector in The Lost Man (1969), and a series of doctors in The 300 Year Weekend (1971), All That Jazz (1979) and Talk to Me (1982).
He essayed a number of authoritative/professional roles (doctors, psychiatrists, military brass, etc.) throughout the late 1960s and 1970s on such series as "Tarzan," "The Rat Patrol," "Mannix," "Felony Squad," "Owen Marshall," "Toma," "The F.B.I.," "Medical Center," "Cannon," "Barney Jones," "McMillan & Wife," "Kojak," "Law and Order" and "Murder, She Wrote." He also played a recurring suitor of Mary Richards on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970).
Known to have a well-modulated voice, he narrated the successful miniseries The Adams Chronicles (1976). Although his acting load has tapered off into the 1980s, he can still be seen from time to time in guest parts. He ended his on-camera career playing a judge in the film Perfect Stranger (2007). Divorced twice and the father of three daughters, he was once briefly married to actress Rosemary Forsyth. He died on January 31, 2011, at the age of 85.- Writer

Bigelow is best known for his appearances with promotions New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) between 1987 and 2001. Over the course of his career, he held championships including the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, the ECW World Television Championship, the IWGP Tag Team Championship, the WAR World Six-Man Tag Team Championship, and the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

Johnson was both enigmatic and unforgettable.
Multiple documentaries have been made about Johnson, featuring interviews with family and friends, along with what archival footage of Johnson exists - at protests for gay rights, memorials for friends who've died from AIDS and gaybashing, along with Johnson's stage performances with drag troupe Hot Peaches.
The best way to know Marsha is through the documentaries where Marsha can be listened to on Marsha's own terms. Many have tried to use Marsha to various ends in fictitious works. But thankfully, Marsha sat for several interviews. Seek these documentaries out and learn the truth for yourself. - Actress
