Gibson was born in Brooklyn, New York. She grew up in the Long Island suburb of Merrick, New York. At the age of five, she began performing in community theater with her sisters and wrote her first song "Make Sure You Know Your Classroom". When she was eight, she sang in the children's chorus at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. She began playing the ukulele and taking piano lessons soon thereafter. Gibson has stated that her household was probably the only one where you'd hear kids fighting over piano playing time.
Pop princess
Gibson spent years knocking on doors and handing her demos to every director, agent and producer she came into contact with. Eventually, at the age of sixteen, she caught the attention of Atlantic Records which signed the teenager and thus began her successful pop music career.
Gibson performed around the U.S. at various track dates. These dates included venues such as straight, gay and teen nightclubs. Simultaneously, Gibson was recording what would become her debut album, Out Of The Blue. The album was recorded in a total of 4 weeks.
Four singles from her debut LP Out Of The Blue reached the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 100: "Only in My Dreams," "Shake Your Love," "Out Of The Blue," and the number-one hit "Foolish Beat," followed by "Staying Together" which performed more modestly, reaching #22. "Foolish Beat" set a record for Gibson, making her the youngest female artist ever to write, produce, and perform on a Billboard number-one single, a record which stands to this day. By the time Out Of The Blue was established as a hit album, and she had considerable success in the UK, as well as Japan and southeast Asia, with stadium tours.
Throughout 1988 and early 1989, Gibson was racking up studio time recording her second release. Electric Youth was released in March of 1989 and spent 5 weeks at #1. The first single released, "Lost in Your Eyes", held the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. Gibson achieved an additional honor of having both a #1 single and album charting simultaneously. She also shared ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award 1989 with Bruce Springsteen.
In parallel with the album, she created Electric Youth eaux de parfum under Revlon, and various makeup essentials for young girls through Natural Wonder Cosmetics, one of her sponsors at the time, distributed nationwide.Subsequent singles from this album missed the Top 10: Electric Youth (#11),No More Rhyme (#17) and We Could Be Together (#71)
She eventually recorded two more albums for Atlantic Records: Anything Is Possible (1990), and Body Mind Soul (1992). Atlantic compiled Greatest Hits as a 1995 release oddly in conjunction with her release of SBK album Think With Your Heart.
Broadway starlet
American music tastes changed from pop music affecting a majority of pop singers, more favoring grunge rock. She debuted on Broadway in 1992, playing Eponine in Les Misérables. She then went to London, where she played Sandy in the West End production of Grease to sold out shows, breaking box office sales records.[citation needed] The single version of "You're the One That I Want", a duet with Craig McLachlan, taken from the Original Cast Recording, reached #13 on the UK charts in 1993.
On returning to the States, she appeared in the Broadway touring production, this time she playing Rizzo. She played Fanny Brice in a Funny Girl benefit concert. She was among the many actresses who took on the role of Belle in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast of Gypsy Rose Lee in Gypsy (in a production staged at The Papermill Playhouse). She participated in the national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, where she played the part of The Narrator, and as Cinderella in the national tour of Rodgers & Hammerstein's famed musical. In October 2002, she starred in the Boston production of Chicago. In 2003, she played Sally Bowles in the Broadway revival of Cabaret.

Diaz's father is a second-generation Cuban-American and her mother has Native American, English and German ancestry. Diaz attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School at the same time as rapper Snoop Dogg. During her school days, she was called Skeletor by her classmates because she was so thin.
Career
At 17 she began her career as a fashion model. Diaz signed with top modeling agency Elite Model Management. After graduating from high school, she went to work in Japan and met video director Carlo de la Torre. On her return to America, she moved in with him. For the next few years, her modeling took her around the world, working for contracts with major companies. She modelled for designers such as Calvin Klein and Levi's. She also graced the cover of the July 1990 issue of Seventeen magazine.
At 21, Diaz auditioned for the Jim Carrey film The Mask. Even though she had no previous acting experience, she was cast as the female lead. She signed up for acting lessons right after getting the part. Over the next three years, she won roles in low-budget, independent films, such as The Last Supper, Feeling Minnesota, and She's The One. She then regained mainstream success with her roles in My Best Friend's Wedding and There's Something About Mary. She won critical acclaim for her performance in Being John Malkovich, which earned her Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Golden Globes, the BAFTA Awards and the SAG Awards.
During the 1999-2000 period, Diaz starred in many films, such as Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, A Life Less Ordinary, Any Given Sunday, and the hit adaptation of Charlie's Angels. In 2001, she won nominations for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards and the AFI Awards for Vanilla Sky, and also voiced Princess Fiona in Shrek, for which she earned $10 million. In 2003, Diaz received another Golden Globe nomination for Martin Scorsese's epic Gangs of New York, and became the second actress (after Wedding costar Julia Roberts) to earn $20 million for a role, receiving the sum for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. After Full Throttle, Diaz only appeared in three films, Shrek 2, In Her Shoes and The Holiday . During 2004 and early 2005, Diaz explored some of the planet's environmentally unique locations while discovering ways to help preserve them for the 10-episode MTV series Trippin' which featured numerous celebrities and friends of Diaz, such as Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore, Mark Hoppus, Eva Mendes and Justin Timberlake.
Future work for Diaz includes a role in Shrek the Third in 2007, where she co-stars with former boyfriend Justin Timberlake. She was set to team up again with The Mask co-star Jim Carrey in the film Fun with Dick and Jane, but she dropped out to star in In Her Shoes. She will also appear in Shrek 4. She will also star in The Box, a horror thriller which is due to start filming in November 2007.
July 7, 2007, Diaz participated at Live Earth in New York by introducing The Police.

AKA Rebecca Pearch

Born August 29, 1959
Birthplace: Santa Rosa, CA
Gender: Female
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight

Father: Wally George (abrasive talk show host; d. 5-Oct-2003)
Mother: Julie De Mornay
Father: Richard De Mornay (stepfather)
Brother: Peter De Mornay (stepbrother; b. circa 1964)
Boyfriend: Harry Dean Stanton (actor, dated 1982-83)

Husband: Patrick O'Neal (host of Fox Sports One, son of Ryan O'Neal, m., two children)
Daughter: Sophia (b. 1997)
Daughter: Veronica (b. 31-Mar-2001)
Rebecca De Mornay played the prostitute in Risky Business, an escaped prisoner in the remake of And God Created Woman, and a deranged nanny in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. On TV, she had recurring roles on ER and The Practice.
Her father, Wally George, was a loud conservative TV talk show host, who proudly pioneered what he called "combat TV". De Mornay was an infant when her mother divorced him, and she got her last name when her mother remarried. Her stepfather, though, died when De Mornay was five. The widow De Mornay then moved to Europe, where Rebecca and her stepbrother were raised first in England and later Austria. De Mornay speaks French, German, and English fluently.
Critics and audiences agreed that De Mornay's version of And God Created Woman was tripe compared to the Brigitte Bardot original. The remake, however, does feature De Mornay and Vincent Spano in one of the most erotically charged sex scenes ever filmed for a non-X-rated film.

AKA Eileen Regina Edwards

Born: 28-Aug-1965
Birthplace: Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Gender: Female
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Country Musician
Nationality: Canada
Executive summary: You're Still the One
Father: Clarence Edwards
Father: Jerry Twain (stepfather, d. 1-Nov-1987, car accident)
Mother: Sharon (d. 1-Nov-1987, car accident)
Sister: Jill
Sister: Carrie-Ann
Brother: Mark (half brother)
Brother: Darryl (half brother)
Husband: Robert John Lange ("Mutt", m. 1993)
Son: Eja Lange (b. 12-Aug-2001)
Twain was the daughter of Sharon and Clarence Edwards, who divorced when she was two. Her mother then moved Eilleen and her sister Jill to Timmins, Ontario where her mother met and married Jerry Twain, a native Ojibwa Indian. He then adopted Eilleen, and her name was changed to Eilleen Twain.
One of five children, Eilleen Twain had a hard childhood in Timmins, Ontario. Her parents earned little, and there was often a shortage of food and money in the household. In the remote, rugged community she learned to hunt and to chop wood. Twain began to earn money by singing in local clubs and bars from a very young age to support her family. At one point, while Jerry was at work, her mother drove the family 425 miles to a Toronto homeless shelter for assistance (source: Shania's interview in Readers Digest).
Career as "Eilleen"
At the age of 13, Eilleen Twain was invited to perform on CBC television's Tommy Hunter Show. While attending Timmins High and Vocational School in Timmins, Ontario, she was the vocalist for a local band called "Longshot" which covered Top 40 music.
In 1984, she sang a duet performance on an album by Canadian artist (and present-day CKTB radio personality) Tim Denis.
When her mother and adoptive father died in a car accident on November 1, 1987, the 22-year-old Twain put her musical career on hold and took care of her family.[citation needed] She and her half-brothers Mark and Darryl, and sister Carrie-Ann moved to Huntsville, Ontario, where she supported them by performing at the nearby Deerhurst Resort.
After "Eilleen" becomes "Shania"
1993: Shania Twain
In 1991, she was invited to record a demo tape. That led to her first recording contract with entertainment lawyer Richard Frank, whereupon she changed her name to Shania [Shu-nye-uh] an Ojibwa word which means "On my way".
Twain co-wrote only one of the songs ("God Ain't Gonna Getcha for That") on her self-titled debut album. The album's first two singles, "What Made You Say That" and "Dance with the One That Brought You" peaked at #55 on the Billboard Country Charts. By the end of 1993 the album had sold less than 250,000 copies.
That same year, Twain sang harmony vocals on Sammy Kershaw's Haunted Heart album.
When rock producer, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, heard Twain's original songs and singing, he offered to produce her and to write songs with her. After many telephone conversations, they met in person at Nashville's Fan Fair in June 1993.
Lange and Twain started working on a second album, and in 1995 The Woman in Me produced her first #1 single, "Any Man of Mine". The album topped the country charts for months and crossed over to mainstream charts, peaking at No. 5. As of 2007 it has sold over 12 million copies. The Woman in Me went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Album as well as the Academy of Country Music award for Album of the Year; the latter group also awarded Twain as Best New Female Vocalist
In 1997, Twain released her follow-up album, Come on Over. This was the album that established Twain as a successful crossover artist. Slowly, the album started racking up sales. It never hit the top spot, but with the multi-chart hit single "You're Still the One", sales skyrocketed. Songs like "Don't Be Stupid", "Honey, I'm Home", "Man! I Feel like a Woman!", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "From This Moment On" joined the 12 songs that eventually saw release as singles.
Over the next two years, the album stayed on the charts. When the dust finally settled, Come on Over had sold 20 million copies in the United States and 34 million worldwide, making it the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist, and the biggest-selling country album of all time.
Songs from the album won four Grammy Awards over the next two years, including Best Country Song for Twain and Lange for "You're Still the One" and "Come on Over" and Best Female Country Performance for "You're Still the One" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!".
Despite the album's sale record it wasn't able to top the Billboard 200, reaching a peak of #2. It did however top the charts for 11 weeks in the UK. Additionally, the album set the record for the longest ever stay in the Top 20 of The Billboard 200, remaining in the Top 20 for 99 weeks.
Twain's mainstream pop acceptance was further helped by her appearance in the 1998 first edition of the VH1 Divas concert, where she sang alongside Mariah Carey, Céline Dion, Gloria Estefan and Aretha Franklin and by VH1's 1999 heavily-aired Behind the Music treatment of her, which concentrated on the tragic aspects of her early life as well as her physical attractiveness and Nashville's early resistance to her bared-midriff music videos.
In 1998, Twain launched her first major concert tour, aided by her manager Jon Landau, a veteran of many large-scale tours with Bruce Springsteen. The Come on Over Tour shows were enthusiastically received by audiences around the globe and answered critics who speculated that she could not perform live.
After a two year break, Twain went back into the studio, along with a management change (Twain dropped Landau and went with QPrime), and recorded her latest CD. Up! was released on November 19, 2002. About a year later, she staged the Up! Tour to promote it.
Up! was released as a double album, with three different "remix" discs - pop (a red CD), country (a green CD) and Indian/Asian (a blue CD). For North American markets, the pop disc was paired with the country disc and in international markets, the pop disc was paired with the Indian/Latin disc. The Indian/Latin disc was recorded in Mumbai, India. Up! was given 4 out of 5 stars by Rolling Stone magazine, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart, selling 874,000 in the first week alone. It charted at the top for five weeks.
The first single from the album "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!", became a modest country hit that did not do much on the pop charts, apart from the UK where it peaked at #4 in the UK singles chart. The follow-up single "Up!" reached the top 15 in the country charts but failed to reach the pop top 40.
The third single from the album would be the most successful. The romantic ballad "Forever and for Always" was released as a single in April 2003 and peaked at number four on the country chart and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, spending six weeks there. "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" was a country top-ten hit, while the last North American single, "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing", made the top 20 on both Country and AC.
To date , Up! has sold 5.5 million copies in the U.S. (Certified by the RIAA as 11 times platinum due to the organization's rules regarding double albums, which are counted as 2 units for certifications) and over 17 million copies worldwide.
In 2003, Twain participated in the Dolly Parton tribute album, Just Because I'm a Woman, covering Parton's classic "Coat of Many Colors".
During the Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show Twain performed two songs, "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "Up!".
2004—present: Greatest Hits
In 2004, she released the Greatest Hits album, with three new tracks. To date , it has sold over 3.5 million copies in the U.S., and over 7.5 million worldwide. The first single, the multi-format duet "Party for Two", made the country top ten with Billy Currington, while the pop version with Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath made top ten in the United Kingdom and Germany. The follow-up singles, "Don't!" and "I Ain't No Quitter" didn't fare as well, the former made top twenty AC, while the latter didn't gain enough airplay to even crack the country top 40.
In August 2005, when Twain hit 40, she released the single "Shoes" from the Desperate Housewives soundtrack; it barely entered the top 30 on the country charts and did not chart elsewhere due to the lack of a video or promotion from Twain.
At the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 16, 2007, Twain said that she was currently writing songs for a new album, and that she is doing a "lot of soul searching" and "indulging in the writing". When asked with new music will come out she said "next year".
Shania Twain will be featured on a duet with Canadian country star Anne Murray on her upcoming duets album.

AKA Paul Rubenfeld

Born: 27-Aug-1952
Birthplace: Peekskill, NY
Gender: Male
Religion: Jewish
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Occupation: Actor
Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Pee-wee Herman
Father: Milton Rubenfeld (owned a lighting store, d. 21-Feb-2004, cancer)
Mother: Judy Rubenfeld
Sister: Abby Rubenfeld (attorney)
Brother: Luke Rubenfeld (dog trainer)
Wife: Charlene Gail "Chandi" Heffner (m. 1991)
As a boy, Reubens spent his earliest years in upstate New York, a setting he still describes as "storybook". When he was in the fourth grade, his family moved to Sarasota, Florida, the winter headquarters for Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey Circus, and he often saw people on the street who were obviously performers. On a stroll with his parents, he once heard an explosion and saw someone flying through the air between two houses -- it was a circus family, practicing firing each other out of a cannon in their back yard. Young Reubens loved I Love Lucy, The Mickey Mouse Club, Captain Kangaroo, and Howdy Doody. He started appearing in local stage productions at the age of 11, and one summer his parents let him go to circus camp.
In the 1970s, Reubens started working as a dramatic actor, but he loved The Gong Show, and concocted an act with struggling comic Charlotte McGinnis, as "The Hilarious Betty & Eddie". They won $500, and were invited back. As Eddie and other characters, Reubens appeared on The Gong Show 15 times. He joined the Groundlings improvisational group, and performed for six years alongside several comics who eventually became famous, including Reubens' lifelong friend Phil Hartman.
The image of Pee-Wee was broken on July 26, 1991. On his summer vacation, Reubens was visiting his parents in Sarasota and sought escape from boredom by catching a showing of the X-rated film, Nurse Nancy. He fell victim to a police sting operation and was arrested for sex charges when detectives allegedly saw him playing with his private parts. He was released on $219 bail and nobody realized what had happened until somebody recognized him beneath his long hair and goatee. The media went berserk: 'Kids show star arrested for indecent exposure'. Because of his behavior, CBS dropped the Playhouse and related merchandise was released from its shelves. He agreed to pay a $50 fine plus $85 in court costs to Sarasota County, and he produced a 30 second public service message for the Partnership For Drug-Free America commercial. As part of the deal, the county sealed all legal papers relating to the actor's arrest and didn't leave Reubens with a criminal record. The scandal marked the virtual death of Pee-Wee Herman. Reubens appeared as his favorite character for the last time at that Autumn's MTV Music Video Awards. He bounded onto the stage before a standing ovation and asked, "Heard any good jokes lately?" in reference to being the butt of many current punchlines. "What was that one? Oh, so funny I forgot to laugh!" The enthusiastic reception was not surprising, as he had received 15 thousand supportive letters during his arrest. Regardless, he had recently made a promise not to play Pee-Wee anymore and used his arrest as a chance to portray other roles.
In 2001, Reubens' house was raided by police, who confiscated 30,000 items from his collection of vintage erotica. The DA waited 364 days (one day before the statute of limitations would have run out) and then alleged that some of it was "child pornography" -- decades-old physique poses, old art photos, and yellowed nudist magazines. Some of the nude photos were of minors -- when the pictures were taken, but most of the models would have been dead of old age before Reubens was born. All of the photos, Reubens maintained, were legal when they were first published. Again, though, he settled. The charges were reduced to "obscenity", and Reubens pleaded guilty and paid a $100 fine in exchange for probation.

Elaine Irwin Mellencamp is a former supermodel, and currently works as a spokeswoman for Almay Cosmetics. She is married to rock star John "Cougar" Mellencamp. Both reside in Bloomington, Indiana, in the United States, and she continues to work as a fashion model.
Elaine was born in 1970 in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania. At 16, she left home to pursue a modeling career. After her photo appeared in Seventeen in 1985, the Boyertown honor student and varsity letter-winner in track and cross country was a much sought-after face for magazine covers, advertisements and commercials. Within a few years, she became one of the Ford Models and had graced the cover of dozens of fashion magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Self and Elite.
She made her move onto the runway for Victoria's Secret and Calvin Klein and soon became the favorite subject of photographers like Herb Ritts, Irving Penn and Steven Meisel for her natural, soft look.
Elaine was 23 when she married Mellencamp. The two met when she was hired to appear on the cover of Mellencamp's Whenever We Wanted album and romantic sparks flew. Within 10 weeks, she was engaged to the musician. The couple celebrated their 10th anniversary in September 2002. They are the proud parents of two sons, Hud and Speck.
Irwin Mellencamp also made history on May 27, 2001, when she became the first woman to drive the pace car at the Indianapolis 500.

Exhibiting unusual musical aptitude as a very young child, Tori Amos was invited to attend the Peabody Conservatory of Music of music at the tender age of five. The strict, uninspired curriculum proved completely at odds with her intuitive form of playing, and she was expelled from the school by the time she was 10.
Undeterred in her conviction that music was her calling, she began to perform her songs in clubs as a teenager; in 1984 she moved to Los Angeles and formed her first band, releasing the album Y Kant Tori Read. The music and image of the record were largely shaped by ill-advised record label marketing ideas, and it quickly disappeared without a trace (it fetches a considerable sum if you manage to find it now, though). Initially devastated by this setback, Tori, with the encouragement of friends, ultimately used the experience as a motivation to create music that was free from outside interference. Her debut record, Little Earthquakes, was the success she had wanted, creatively and commercially. Although initially popular only in England, the record inevitably caught on in the States, where many of her fans mistakenly believed she was British.
Subsequent releases have only solidified the devout following garnered by Little Earthquakes, but unconventional (and noncommercial) twists in her musical output have prevented her from becoming a larger (and therefore transient) "pop star".

I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.
Kyra Sedgwick

August 18, 1960

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deiva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deiva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deiva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical fantasy film, written by Noel Langley et al. and directed by Victor Fleming, among several other uncredited directors, based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The film features Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West, Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow, Jack Haley as the Tin Man, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion and Frank Morgan as the Wizard. Morgan also plays Professor Marvel, a carnival sharkster, the doorman to Emerald City, the cabby driving "the horse of a different color," and the guard at the gate to the Wizard's sanctuary, for a total of five different roles in the film.
One of the most beloved of all American films, The Wizard of Oz is often ranked among the top ten best movies of all-time in various critics' and popular polls, and has provided as many indelible quotes, entered upon the American cultural consciousness, as any other film in history. Its signature song, Over the Rainbow, sung by the young Judy Garland, has been voted the greatest movie song of all-time by the American Film Institute.
The Wizard of Oz premiered at the Strand Theatre in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on August 12, 1939 and Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood on August 15, 1939. The New York City premiere at Loew's Capitol Theater on August 17, 1939 was followed by a live performance with Judy Garland and her frequent film co-star Mickey Rooney. They would continue to perform there after each screening for a week. The movie opened nationally on August 25, 1939.
The film grossed approximately $3 million against production/distribution costs of $3.8 million in its initial release. It did not show a profit until a 1949 re-release earned an additional $1.5 million.
The film was again re-released in 1955 in a pseudo "widescreen" 1.85:1 aspect ratio version. Portions of the top and the bottom of the film were removed to produce the effect . The re-release trailer claimed "every scene" from Baum's novel was in the film, including "the rescue of Dorothy", though there is no such incident in the novel. The 1998 re-release again used the pseudo widescreen. The original theatrical release was 1.37:1 aspect ratio, which is projected in 1.33:1, with the additional width accommodating the soundtrack. All of the film's VHS and DVD releases have been in the original format, and not in the pseudo widescreen one.
The film was first shown on television November 3, 1956 on CBS, as the last installment of the Ford Star Jubilee. It was shown in color (posters still exist advertising the broadcast, and they specifically say in color and black-and-white), but because most television sets then were not color sets, few members of the TV audience saw it that way. An estimated 45 million people watched the broadcast. On December 13, 1959 the film was shown (again on CBS) as a two-hour Christmas season special, and at an earlier time, to an even larger audience. It became an annual CBS television tradition every December from 1959 through 1962. The film was not shown in 1963, perhaps due to the proximity of the John F. Kennedy assassination November 22, 1963. Others say that there was no room on the schedule, due to the fact that by then there were many other Christmas specials. Still the film was shown very early in 1964 so the showings still were only roughly a year apart. That January 1964 broadcast marked the end of the Christmas season showings, but it was nevertheless still televised only once a year for more than two decades. In the late 1960s, the film was bought for TV showings by NBC, but by 1976, it had reverted back to CBS. It is now shown several times a year, on the Turner Classic Movies cable channel, Turner Network Television, and the TBS Superstation (see the article The Wizard of Oz on television).
The Wizard of Oz became the first videocassette released by MGM/CBS Home Video in 1980; all current home video releases are by Warner Home Video (via current rights holder Turner Entertainment). The first laserdisc release of The Wizard of Oz was in 1989, and again in 1993, and finally on 11 September 1996. The long-awaited first DVD release of the film was on March 26, 1997, and contained no special features or supplements. It was re-released for its 60th Anniversary, on October 19, 1999, and contained an extensive behind-the-scenes documentary: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Making of a Movie Classic, hosted by Angela Lansbury. Outtakes, the deleted music number known as the "Jitterbug sequence", clips from the 1925 Wizard of Oz and the 1933 animated short based on the book, trailers, newsreels and a portrait gallery were also included, as well as two radio programs of the era publicizing the film - all on one disc. In 2005, two exclusive collectable DVD editions were released. The film was completely restored with superior quality and new audio sound in a 5.1 audio, perhaps the biggest re-release of the film yet. One of the two DVD releases was a 2-disc "deluxe edition", featuring a large portion of rare special features: documentaries, trailers, various outtakes, newsreels, an in-depth look on the restoration of the new DVD release, a behind the scenes look at the set design of the film, radio shows, and still galleries. The 3-disc edition featured even more supplements, including the complete 1925 film and 1933 short and re-prints of the 1939 tickets for the opening night screening.
In 1999, the film had a theatrical re-release in Australia, in honor of the 60th Anniversary. The film was also scheduled for theatrical re-release in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2006.

Died August 16, 1977

Are you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out till we grow
Well I don't know why that's true

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earn'd our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

I got flowers in the spring
I got you, you wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared you're always around
And then they say your hair's too long
But I don't care, with you I can't do wrong
Then put your warm little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

I got you to hold my
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go
I got you who loves me so
I got you, babe

Dustin Hoffman has been a celebrity since he was seduced by Anne Bancroft in The Graduate in 1967. After dropping out of college, he studied acting at the Pasadena Playhouse, and briefly shared an apartment with another unknown actor, Gene Hackman. They sometimes played poker with other underemployed actors, including Robert Duvall.
Hoffman practices method acting, and is widely considered a pain in the ass to work with. He is renowned for his big ego and in-depth character research, and for demands of directors, suggestions for co-stars and scriptwriters, endless ideas for plot revisions, and numerous fights with studio executives. Director Sydney Pollack won an Oscar for directing Hoffman in Tootsie, but said "I'd give it up, if I could have back the nine months of my life I spent with Dustin Hoffman making it".
Then again, he has won dozens of awards for acting, for his work on Broadway, off Broadway, on TV, and of course in the movies. His better films include Midnight Cowboy, Little Big Man, Lenny, All the President's Men, Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man, Wag the Dog, and I Heart Huckabees.
I decided to become an actor because I was failing in school and I needed the credits.

Christine Anne Perfect was born on July 12th, 1943 in the small village of Bouth in the Lake District. Her father, Cyril, was a college professor and concert violinist, and mother Beatrice (called Tee) was a medium, a psychic and a faith healer. Her grandfather had played the organ in Westminster Abbey. Although Christine had been introduced to the piano at age four, she didn't really take to music until she was 11. She continued taking classical music lessons until the age of 15, when her older brother, John, brought home a Fats Domino songbook which transformed her musical interest from classical music to rock n' roll. Other early influences include The Everly Brothers and The Beatles.
Early Music
Christine studied sculpture at an art college in Birmingham, England for five years, with the goal of becoming an art teacher. During that time she met a number of budding musicians in England's blues scene. Although studying art at the time Christine had an innate love for the music business. Her first foray into the music field didn't come until she met two friends Stan Webb and Andy Sylvester in a pub one night. At the time they were playing in a band called "Shades Of Blue" which had a few dates booked but no bass guitarist. Knowing that Christine had musical talent they asked her to join.[1] Also during that time she would often sing with Spencer Davis. After five years Christine graduated from art college with a teaching degree, but by that time "Shades of Blue" had split up.
Fresh out of art college Christine found that she didn't have enough money to launch herself into the art world, so she moved to London, where she worked briefly as a department store window-dresser.
Chicken Shack
In 1968 a friend of Christine told her that her ex-bandmates Andy Sylvester and Stan Webb were forming a blues band and were looking for a pianist, so she wrote to them asking to join them. A few days later they replied, inviting her to play keyboards/piano and sing background vocals in their band Chicken Shack.[1] Christine stayed with Chicken Shack for two albums and together they scored the top 10 British hit "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Christine on lead vocals. She was given a Melody Maker award for female vocalist of the year, and she was lauded for having one of the "top 10 pairs of legs in all of Britain". Christine left Chicken Shack in 1969 after meeting Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie.
Fleetwood Mac
Christine was a big fan of Fleetwood Mac at the time and while touring with Chicken Shack the two bands would often run into each other. Encouraged to continue her career, she recorded a solo album, Christine Perfect, which she does not feel is among her better works. As Christine McVie, she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970, just after marrying Fleetwood Mac bass guitarist John McVie. She had already contributed backup vocals, played keyboards, and painted the cover for Kiln House. The band had just lost founding member Peter Green and its members were nervous about touring without him. McVie had been a huge fan of the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, and since she knew all the lyrics to their songs, she went along. McVie quickly became an essential member of the group and the author of some of its finest songs, a position she would continue to hold for nearly 25 years.
The early '70s was a rocky time for the band, with a revolving door of musicians, and only the albums Mystery To Me and Bare Trees scoring any successes, not to mention that a group impersonating Fleetwood Mac was touring the United States without their permission. John McVie's alcohol drinking became unbearable; Christine had an affair with a music producer, and she nearly left John and the band to make a solo album with her lover. However, he went back to his spouse, so she did the same.
In 1974, Christine McVie reluctantly agreed to move with the rest of the band to the US and make a fresh start. Within a year, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham of Buckingham Nicks joined the band. They breathed new life into the music. Their first album together, 1975's Fleetwood Mac, had several hit songs, with McVie's "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me" both reaching Billboard's top-20 singles chart.
In 1976, McVie began an on-the-road affair with the band's lighting director, which inspired her to write "You Make Loving Fun", a top-10 hit on the landmark smash Rumours, one of the best-selling albums of all-time. Her biggest hit was "Don't Stop", which climbed all the way to #3 and has become identified forever as the song Bill Clinton played on the Presidential campaign trail and at his 1993 Inaugural Gala (McVie and the others performed there, as well as at the Super Bowl a few days later).
By the end of the Rumours tour, the McVies had divorced. The 1979 double album Tusk produced three more top-20 hits ("Tusk", "Sara", and "Think About Me"), but it was considered a disappointment since practically nothing could top the success of the Rumours album. The "Tusk" tour continued into 1980, following which, the band took time apart. They reunited in 1981 to record the album Mirage at a chateau in France. The album, released in 1982, returned the band to the top of the US charts and also contained the top-5 hit "Hold Me", co-written by McVie. The track was also the band's first music video; McVie's inspiration for the song was her tortured relationship with Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson. Wilson drowned in an accident a few years later, breaking McVie's heart.
In 1984, McVie decided to take a risk and to record a solo album, as most of the other band members had done. She created hits with the songs "Got a Hold on Me" (Top 10 pop and #1 adult contemporary) and "Love Will Show Us How". The synthesizer-heavy tracks were viewed by some as somewhat jarring in contrast to the crisp and clear singing tones of McVie. Nevertheless, McVie is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits as saying of her solo album, "Maybe it isn't the most adventurous album in the world, but I wanted to be honest and please my own ears with it."
She also met keyboardist Eddy Quintela (12 years her junior), whom she married in October 1986. They divorced a decade later.
After covering the Elvis Presley standard "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" for the Howie Mandel film A Fine Mess, she rejoined Fleetwood Mac to record the Tango in the Night album, which went on to become the band's biggest success since "Rumours" ten years earlier. The biggest hit from the album was McVie's "Little Lies", co-written with her husband Quintela, which was top 5 in both the UK and US.
In 1990 the band, minus Lindsey Buckingham, recorded Behind the Mask, but the sales were sluggish and the singles were only marginally successful. McVie had always been reluctant to go on concert tours, preferring to stay close to home with friends and family. Upon the death of her father, Cyril Perfect, that year, during the Behind The Mask tour, McVie made the decision to retire from touring altogether. Despite the departure of Stevie Nicks, McVie remained loyal to Mick Fleetwood and her former husband, recording five songs for the band's 1995 effort Time. The album, which suffered from a lack of publicity and was created by a line-up unfamiliar to the public, was a commercial flop.
The members of the band seemed to have gone their separate ways until Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham got together again for one of Lindsey Buckingham's solo projects. They persuaded Christine to record and tour with them one last time. The live album, 1997's The Dance, went to #1 on the charts. McVie complied with their touring schedule, and then performed for the group's 1998 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the Grammy Awards show, and the BRIT Awards in the UK. Thereafter, she retired from Fleetwood Mac altogether.
In the years after The Dance, Christine McVie stepped out of public view almost completely. In 2000 she did, however, appear in public to receive an Honorary Doctorate in Music from the University of Greenwich, England. Some years later, in December 2003, she went to see Fleetwood Mac's last UK performance on the Say You Will tour in London, but did not join her former bandmates on the stage.
Mid-2004 saw the release of McVie's new solo album, In the Meantime, her third in a career spanning five decades. Recorded in her converted barn in Kent, England, McVie worked on the project with her nephew, Dan Perfect, who contributed guitar-playing, back-up vocals, and songwriting. There was no tour to accompany this album, though McVie consented to a limited number of press interviews in the UK and the USA. In 2006 McVie was awarded the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters' Gold Badge of Merit at a ceremony held in London's Savoy Hotel [1]. She currently lives in the south of England and rarely leaves her countryside home.

You sit there a-crying, crying in your beer
You think you got troubles, my friend listen here
Don't tell me your troubles, I've got enough of my own
Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home
I'm fresh out of prison, six years in the pen
Lost my wife and family, no one to call friend
Don't tell me your troubles, I've got enough of my own
Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home

Now there sits a blind man, so blind he can't see
Do you think he's complaining, why should you and me?
Don't tell me your troubles, I've got enough of my own
Be thankful you're living, drink up and go home

Lost my wife and family, no one to call friend
