Cybill Lynne Shepherd is an American actress and former model. Her best known roles include starring as Jacy in The Last Picture Show, Maddie Hayes on Moonlighting, as Cybill Sheridan on Cybill, as Betsy in Taxi Driver and as Phyllis Kroll on The L Word.

Shepherd was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the daughter of Patty, a homemaker, and William Jennings Shepherd, who managed a home appliance business. Named after her grandfather Cy and her father Bill, Shepherd won the 1966 “Miss Teenage Memphis” contest at age 16, and the 1968 “Model of the Year” contest at age 18, making her a fashion star of the 1960s, resulting in fashion modeling work through high school and after.

According to Shepherd’s autobiography, it was a 1970 Glamour magazine cover that caught the eye of film director Peter Bogdanovich. His then-wife Polly Platt, however, claimed that it was she who upon seeing the cover in a check-out line in a Ralphs grocery store in southern California, said “That’s Jacy”, referring to the role Bogdanovich was casting — and ultimately offered to Shepherd — in The Last Picture Show. Shepherd was cast opposite Charles Grodin in The Heartbreak Kid. She played Kelly, the beautiful, sunkissed young woman whom Grodin’s character falls for while on his honeymoon in Miami. Directed by Elaine May, it was a critical and box office hit.

Dayle Lymoine Robertson is an American actor best known for his starring roles on television. He played the role of Jim Hardie in the TV series, Tales of Wells Fargo, and the owner of an incomplete railroad line in ABC's The Iron Horse, often appearing as the deceptively thoughtful but modest western hero with a deliberately slow south-western drawl. After a long career that included 63 films, Robertson retired and now lives in Yukon, Oklahoma.

Born in Harrah, Oklahoma in 1923, Robertson worked as a professional boxer briefly before enrolling in Claremore Military Academy in Claremore, Oklahoma. He also served in the military before his professional acting career began. He served in a tank crew and in the combat engineers in North African during World War II and was wounded twice.

Robertson began his acting career by chance during World War II, when he was in the United States Army. Stationed at San Luis Obispo, California, Robertson decided to have a photograph taken for his mother; so he and several other soldiers went to Hollywood to find a photographer. A large copy of his photo was later displayed in the photographer's shop window.

Eventually serving in the South Pacific, Robertson found himself receiving letters from film agents who wished to represent him. After the war, Robertson stayed in California. Hollywood actor Will Rogers, Jr., gave him this advice: "Don't ever take a dramatic lesson. They will try to put your voice in a dinner jacket, and people like their hominy and grits in everyday clothes." Robertson thereafter avoided formal acting lessons.

Dan Duryea was an American actor of film, stage and television. Duryea graduated from Cornell University in 1928. While at Cornell, Duryea was elected into the Sphinx Head Society. He made his name on Broadway in the play Dead End, followed by The Little Foxes, in which he played the dishonest and not particularly bright weakling Leo Hubbard. He moved to Hollywood in 1940 to appear in the film version in the same role.

He established himself in films playing similar secondary roles as the foil, usually as a weak or annoyingly immature character, in movies such as The Pride of the Yankees. As his career progressed throughout the 1940s he began to carve a niche as a violent, yet sexy, bad guy in a number of film noirs. In so doing he established a significant female following and, over time, something of a cult status. His work in this era included Scarlet Street, The Woman in the Window, Criss Cross, Black Angel and Too Late for Tears.

From the 1950s, Duryea was more often seen in Westerns, most notably his charismatic villain in Winchester ’73. Other memorable work in the latter part of his career included Thunder Bay, The Burglar, The Flight of the Phoenix, and the primetime soap opera Peyton Place. He also appeared in one of the first Twilight Zone episodes in 1959 as a drunken former gunfighter in “Mr. Denton on Doomsday,” written by Rod Serling. He guest starred on NBC’s anthology series The Barbara Stanwyck Show. In 1963, Duryea appeared as Dr. Ben Lorrigan in the episode “Why Am I Grown So Cold” on the NBC medical drama about psychiatry, The Eleventh Hour.

Duryea was far removed from many of the characters he played in the course of his career. He was married for thirty-five years to his wife, Helen, who preceded him in death on January 21, 1967. The couple had two sons: Peter, who worked for a time as an actor, and Richard.

Dan Haggerty is an American actor, best known for the title role in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.

He was born in Hollywood, growing up amid the Southern California bodybuilding lifestyle. Online biographies and newspapers suggest that he was born Gene Jajonski in Pound, WI. He had early roles in Muscle Beach Party and the Elvis Presley film Girl Happy. His ease in working with animals got him work as a trainer and handler for Walt Disney films, and he found work as a stuntman on the Ron Ely’s TV show Tarzan.

Haggerty was a free spirit, living in the Malibu Canyons with his animals while making his own furniture and clothing. He also worked as a set builder on films. He appeared briefly in David Carradine’s film, Americana. He provided a fighting dog for the film, played the role of the dog’s trainer and worked on the set design and the actual restoration of the main focus of the film, a broken down carousel.He worked on the motorcycles featured in the film Easy Rider, and had a bit part as a “hippie” in the movie. He showed up in several low-budget biker films of the era as both a supporting player and stuntman before being tapped to play the outdoorsman in the independent film The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. The picture was a surprise hit and spun off into a popular TV series that made Haggerty a household name. He also starred in the 1989 film “Spirit of the Eagle”.

His fame was fleeting, however, as a well-publicized drug arrest and motorcycle crash kept him from work. He appeared often during the late 1980s in the direct-to-video boom, but by the early 1990s devoted his energies to the Studio City restaurant “Haggerty’s Bistro” and marketing his own barbecue sauce. He continued to work as both an actor and infomercial spokesman.

Dane Clark was an American film actor who was known for playing, as he labeled himself, “Joe Average”.

Clark was born Bernard Zanville in Brooklyn, New York, the son of a sporting goods store owner.

He graduated from Cornell University and earned a law degree at St. John’s University School of Law in Queens, New York. During the Great Depression, he worked as a boxer, baseball player, construction worker, and model.

Modeling brought him in contact with people in the arts. He gradually perceived them to be snobbish, with their talk of the “theatah”, and “I decided it give it a try myself, just to show them anyone could do it.”
