Joshua Ryan Hutcherson was born on October 12, 1992 in Union,
Kentucky to Michelle Fightmaster,
who worked for Delta Air Lines, and Chris Hutcherson, an EPA analyst.
He has one younger brother,
Connor Hutcherson. From the age of
four, Josh knew that he wanted to be an actor. In order to pursue his
goal, Josh and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was
nine-years-old.
In 2002, Josh landed his first acting role in the TV film,
House Blend (2002), with
Amy Yasbeck,
Dan Cortese and
Sean Faris. The same year, Josh was cast in
the pilot,
Becoming Glen (2002), but
Fox did not order it to series (though, several years later, it was
reconfigured as the short-lived series,
The Winner (2007), starring
Rob Corddry, and co-written/produced by
Seth MacFarlane). Toward the end of
2002, Josh appeared on an episode of
ER (1994).
Josh made his big-screen debut, in 2003, with a bit part in the
Oscar-nominated
American Splendor (2003). His
career began its measured ascent in 2005 with a supporting slot as one
of Will Ferrell's kids in
Kicking & Screaming (2005), a
co-starring role in the indie hit
Little Manhattan (2005), and
another co-starring role in
Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005),
which was originally conceived as a sequel to
Jumanji (1995). Despite underperforming
at the box office, "Zathura" helped earned for Josh his first Young
Artist Award for "Leading Young Actor".
2006 saw bigger returns for Josh's burgeoning film career with a role
as one of Robin Williams' sons in
the modest hit, RV (2006). The following year,
he landed his first breakthrough role in
Bridge to Terabithia (2007),
the kid-approved adaptation of
Katherine Paterson's novel that
co-starred AnnaSophia Robb, whose career
was also taking off at this time.
Josh starred as Brendan Fraser's nephew
in another family-film hit,
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008),
and he had a smaller role in the Crash-like drama,
Fragments (2008), though by now his
face and name were being used in movie-marketing materials. Though it
wasn't a hit, Josh's character in
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)
served as a major plot device early in the story.
In 2010, Josh co-starred in the critically-acclaimed film,
The Kids Are All Right (2010),
alongside Annette Bening,
Julianne Moore,
Mark Ruffalo, and
Mia Wasikowska. The film received several
awards and four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
Josh's performance as the youngest child in a family, led by two
mothers, earned him acclaim from audiences and the industry, alike.
Josh followed up with an expanded role in
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012),
which saw Dwayne Johnson take
over as the main character from
Brendan Fraser. Between the star power
and the allure of 3D, the sequel was a worldwide hit and a third
installment is in development.
With the announcement that he would portray the beloved "Peeta Mellark"
in The Hunger Games (2012), the
film adaptation of the best-selling novel written by
Suzanne Collins, Josh became
an instant celebrity. In the wake of the movie's massive worldwide
success, Detention (2011), a
horror/comedy that Josh made before "The Hunger Games", was released.
Josh was also an executive producer on that feature.
Before Josh reprises his role as "Peeta" in
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013),
we will see him in the long-delayed remake of
Red Dawn (2012); the omnibus
7 Days in Havana (2011)
(aka "7 Days in Havana") (Josh's segment was directed by
Benicio Del Toro);
The Forger (2012) opposite
Lauren Bacall,
Alfred Molina, and
Hayden Panettiere; and the animated
Epic (2013) from
Ice Age (2002) co-director (and voice of
"Scrat"), Chris Wedge.- Actor

Teenage fashion model and
Earl Carroll showgirl Jean Wallace
failed in her first bid to break into movies, after MGM discovered that
she was only 17, not 19 years old - as she had claimed. Being underage
meant that she could only work four hours a day (and with an official
tutor) and so her bit in
Ziegfeld Girl (1941) was all there
was. At Paramount, her luck improved. Signed to a six months contract
(plus complimentary tutor) the platinum blonde insurance salesman's
daughter made her first motion picture appearance in a credited part in
Louisiana Purchase (1941). Her
next stop was 20th Century Fox where she spent five years under
contract, but had very little to do after refusing to appear in
Kiss of Death (1947), not a good
career move, as it turned out. For the next few years, Jean's screen
career was overshadowed by her turbulent private life.
A chance meeting in July 1941 between Jean and the actor
Franchot Tone, formerly
Joan Crawford partner and twice
her age, had led to a whirlwind romance, seven years of rocky marriage
and, ultimately, divorce. Jean twice attempted suicide, the first with
sleeping pills in 1946, the second by stabbing herself in the abdomen
in 1949. During the acrimonious divorce proceedings that followed, Jean
alleged extreme jealousy and an affair with peroxide blond siren
Barbara Payton, while Tone claimed that
his wife had been involved with gangster Johnny Stompanato, bodyguard
of infamous L.A. mobster Mickey Cohen
(Stompanato later came to grief at the hands of
Lana Turner's daughter, Cheryl Crane, in
1958). In 1950, Jean married soldier James Randall in San Diego, but
this union was annulled after just five months. Having lost custody of
her two children to Tone, she then lost her driver's license, following
a charge of drunk driving. Things could only get better.
In September 1951, Jean got married for the third time. From here on,
her career became inextricably linked to that of her husband, actor and
director Cornel Wilde, who assumed a
'Svengali'-like role in attempting to mould her into an actress of
stature. She was featured opposite him in a number of mostly routine
B-movies, made by his production company Theadora. Best among those was
a lesser film noir,
The Big Combo (1955), where she
played a self-destructive gangster's moll torn between evil crime boss
Richard Conte and nice police
lieutenant, Wilde. In the colourful
Maracaibo (1958),which was largely shot
on location, she was an icy journalist, one third of a love triangle,
involving Wilde as a 'Red' Adair-type action
hero, dousing oil fires in Venezuela (featuring in the cast a young
Michael Landon of
Bonanza (1959) fame). Jean sang in
the soundtrack, which she also did for both
Star of India (1954), and
Beach Red (1967) (though her acting
part in this war picture was somewhat perfunctory). In
Sword of Lancelot (1963),
she was Guinevere to Wilde's Lancelot, who also co-produced and
directed. Her last starring role was in Wilde's
No Blade of Grass (1970), in
which a family escapes from a post-apocalyptic world, not unlike
I Am Legend (2007)(or its earlier
incarnation, The Omega Man (1971)).
After divorcing Wilde in 1980, Jean lived with a menagerie of pets
(including two snakes and a tarantula) in Beverly Hills until her
death in February 1990.- Actress

Kirk Thomas Cameron was born in Panorama City, California, to
Barbara Cameron (née Barbara
Jeanne Bausmith), a homemaker, and
Robert Cameron, a teacher. Though his
parents initially did not project show business aspirations onto their
children, a family friend in the business noted to Barbara that both
Kirk and his sister,
Candace Cameron Bure, were cute
enough that they could easily pick up lucrative work in commercials.
After Cameron began appearing in TV ads for "Polaroid", "McDonald's"
and "Count Chocula" cereal, he found himself wound up in Hollywood's
notorious child-star mill, netting minor cute-kid parts in a handful of
TV movies, including a couple of Disney projects and two
ABC Afterschool Specials (1972)
(1972-95). In 1983, he landed a regular gig, as a precocious kid, in
ABC's Two Marriages (1983), a
show that remained on the air less than a month. He found a more
winning formula in 1985 with
Growing Pains (1985), playing
the oldest son of a family headed by a psychiatrist
(Alan Thicke) and a journalist
(Joanna Kerns), one in a sequence of family
network sitcoms characterized by with-it parents and
mischievous-but-squeaky-clean kids. On the show, Cameron played the
incorrigible but dumb "Mike Seaver" and his winning portrayal won over
a large number of teen fans. In spite of scathing critical notices,
"Growing Pains" ranked among Nielsen's top 20 network shows for its
first four seasons, rising to No. 5 in its 1987-88 year. On the heels
of his sitcom success, Cameron appeared in his first feature film in
1986, the
Robin Williams/Kurt Russell
glory-days comedy,
The Best of Times (1986).
ABC would pump up Cameron as its "It" boy, and his trademark smirk in
coming years would grace covers of a raft of teen magazines. Meanwhile,
job offers cropped up to exploit his proverbial 15 minutes; he played
the son/father of Dudley Moore in
Like Father Like Son (1987),
one of Hollywood's periodic flavor-du-jour retreads of the mystical
parent/sibling body-switch comedies; netted the starring role in a
high-profile Pepsi Super Bowl XXIV commercial; rated top-billing in
Listen to Me (1989), an overwrought,
widely-panned college drama about debate team wonks arguing against Roe
v. Wade; and did a guest-shot, alongside sister Candace, on her ABC
sister sitcom, Full House (1987)
(1987-1995). Firmly established as the resident star of "Growing
Pains", Cameron saw his pay jump to $50,000 a week and his fans sending
him some 10,000 letters a week. But his coming-of-age took an
unexpected turn, at least for everyone who worked with him. As he would
later recall it in his autobiography, "Still Growing", the family of
his first girlfriend initially exposed the 17-year-old to evangelical
Christianity. Cameron experienced what he would later describe as a
"life-changing encounter with Jesus" and declared himself "born again".- Thomas Guiry was born October 12, 1981, in Trenton, New Jersey. His
acting debut in a movie was in The Sandlot (1993), in 1993, when he was 11. This
led to other films such as Lassie (1994), The Last Home Run (1996), Wrestling with Alligators (1998), Black Hawk Down (2001), and

Stylish, slender-framed, raven-haired Daliah Lavi was made for alluring, exotic types and princess roles with her mesmerizing beauty, chiseled cheek bones and long, flowing mane. The Israeli actress first became a star in Europe before making a dent in Hollywood as part of a wave of knockout foreign star imports that flooded Hollywood during the mid 1960s -- Claudia Cardinale, Julie Christie, Jeanne Moreau, Liv Ullmann, Melina Mercouri, Ursula Andress, Jacqueline Bisset, Romy Schneider, Elke Sommer, Senta Berger, Rosanna Schiaffino, Geneviève Bujold, Capucine, Shirley Eaton, Sylva Koscina, Barbara Bouchet, Susannah York, Rita Tushingham, Monica Vitti, Vanessa Redgrave and her sister Lynn Redgrave, and Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac. Like most of the others, Daliah was to be viewed as a viable sex symbol contender. In her case, she found decorative, second-tier notice via tongue-in-cheek spy spoofs, crime mysteries, erotic thrillers and rugged adventures. In retrospect, she may have fallen short of the illustrious Hollywood pedestal, but she did create a fine, if brief, stir.
She was born Daliah Levenbuch in the Moshav Shavey Zion, in the British Mandate of Palestine on October 12, 1942. The daughter of Reuben and Ruth Lewinbuk (or Levenbuch), who were of German-Jewish and Polish-Jewish descent, she was sent as a child to Stockholm, Sweden in the early 1950s to train in dance. She made her first film there at age 13 in the drama Hemsöborna (1955) playing the daughter of a professor. Her start in films was interrupted when she returned to Israeli following her father's death and joined the Israeli Army.
Following this period, she returned to acting and, being fluent in many European languages, began to figure in prominently with a host of French, Italian, German and English productions, often as a co-star. Such early films include a starring role in the German/Israeli co-production Brennender Sand (1960); the classic Voltaire comedy Candide or The Optimism in the 20th Century (1960) co-starring as Cunegonde alongside Jean-Pierre Cassel in the title role; and the Martine Carol drama Un soir sur la plage (1961). She continued to build up a strong European film reputation with the war drama No Time for Ecstasy (1961) co-starring Peter van Eyck; the mystery crime The Return of Dr. Mabuse (1961) starring Gert Fröbe and post-Tarzan Lex Barker; and made her American movie debut (earning a Golden Globe "Newcomer" Award in the process) as the second femme lead in the Kirk Douglas starer Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), directed by Vincente Minnelli.
Daliah gained considerable ground enhancing and beautifying such foreign movie product as the ensemble French crime mystery Le jeu de la vérité (1961) (aka The Game of Truth); the German comedy satire Das schwarz-weiß-rote Himmelbett (1962); the title role of a sultry peasant girl accused of being a witch in the Italian/French co-production Il demonio (1963) (aka The Demon); the European western action film Old Shatterhand (1964) starring U.S. imports Lex Barker and Guy Madison; the continental costumed adventure Cyrano et d'Artagnan (1964) starring José Ferrer and Jean-Pierre Cassel as Cyrano and D'Artagnan; the German comedy thriller They're Too Much (1965) starring Curd Jürgens, and the one of the ensemble suspects in the internationally cast whodunit Ten Little Indians (1965).
The actress hit her height of international popularity with four popular English/US-based films: as "The Girl" in the epic adventure Lord Jim (1965) starring Peter O'Toole and James Mason; as Princess Natasha in the spy comedy The Spy with a Cold Nose (1966) opposite Laurence Harvey; an alluring double agent in the first Matt Helm entry The Silencers (1966) starring Dean Martin; and as a sexy enemy weapon in the phantasmagorical Bondian spoof Casino Royale (1967), starring Peter Sellers and an all-star international cast. The last-mentioned film, in particular, had American male audiences taking major notice.
Decked out in tight mini-skirts, thigh-high go-go boots and a helmet of black hair, Daliah fit in perfectly with the times, a swinging, gorgeous chick of the psychedelic 60s. She quickly lost momentum, however, cast in such overlooked films as Those Fantastic Flying Fools (1967), The High Commissioner (1968) and Some Girls Do (1969). Her final film would be in the western comedy Catlow (1971) starring Yul Brynner.
In the 1970s Daliah pursued a singing career in Germany after being discovered by record producer Jimmy Bowien. A popular draw, she had a few hit songs and covered many international songwriters and artists. She was also glimpsed again on German television in the 90s for a brief spell. Daliah died on May 3, 2017, in North Carolina. Her fourth husband of 40 years, Charles Gans, survived her, along with four children, including her son Alex Gans who follow in her footsteps in film as a film editor, producer and director.- Harshita Shekhar Gaur is an Indian actress known for her work on the youth-based show Sadda Haq, in which she played the lead role of Sanyukta Agarwal and Dimpy Pandit in 2018, Mirzapur.
