Born Anne Josephine Robinson on September 26, 1944 in Crosby, Liverpool, England, this famous host of the BBC and NBC quiz show The Weakest Link (2001) started her career as a journalist for Rediffusion. She made her way up by working on the Daily Mail, Sunday Times and Daily Mirror. It was at the Mirror where she was to make her mark, being Assistant Editor throughout the 1980s and early 1990s; she was the first woman to regularly edit a national newspaper.
She credits that most of her formative education was gleaned not from attending the convent boarding school or university, but from working on her mother's "marled" stall. She is one of Great Britain's most distinguished broadcasters and journalists and was made an Honorary Fellow of Liverpool's John Moores University in 1996.
She is well-known (even in America) for her red hair, her dark Giorgio Armani suits, her impatience with organizations that give customers a raw deal (she was the host of the prime time BBC 1 consumer affairs show Watchdog (1985)) and, of course, her wink (which was developed when, in 1987, the director of right-to-reply show Points of View (1961) asked her not to wink - she subsequently winked at the end of every program).
She is married to journalist John Penrose, who also acts as her personal manager (and whom she both divorced and remarried in 1994). Her daughter Emma, from her first husband, Charlie Wilson, is a graduate of the prestigious New York University and works as a freelance television director, writer and presenter in London and New York. Anne Robinson divides her time between her house in Kensington and her home in the Cotswolds, where she enjoys walking her English Setters: Maudie and Sebastian.- Ian Liston was born on 4 August 1948 in Crosby, Merseyside, England, UK. He was an actor, known for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Scum (1979) and A Bridge Too Far (1977). He died on 1 October 2016 in the UK.
- American actor and model Tye Olson was born and raised in Northern Minnesota to Allen and Rebecca Olson. Tye is one of two children, and the only member of his family to follow a career in acting. He was heavily involved in the arts from a young age, strongly encouraged by his mother. Tye was educated at Bemidji High School before going on to American Intercontinental University, Los Angeles, where he studied Fashion Design and Marketing.
At just eighteen years old, Tye was cast as the lead in the feature film, Watercolors. He received critical acclaim for this role, winning a Best Actor award three times at film festivals across the country. Further film successes followed, and he landed a supporting role in Tru Loved and a featured role in the film Brother's War. Tye bridged into television only a couple of years later, guest-starring on the award-winning HBO TV series United States of Tara. Since then, he has worked on many short films and music videos alongside artists like Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Katy Perry.
Tye began exploring the art of drag in his mid-twenties after relocating to San Francisco. Splitting his time between Northern California and Los Angeles, Tye built a platform for himself and LGBTQIA+ talent through curating, producing and performing at countless large-scale events throughout the state. Tye is also the founder of Boozy Drag Queen Bingo, a five-star Airbnb online drag queen experience booked across the world. He considers himself gender fluid and now books film, television, and commercial roles as such. - Sandra Duncan was born in 1947 in Crosby, Merseyside, England, UK.
