Harold Clayton Lloyd (April 20, 1893 – March 8, 1971) was an American actor.

Lloyd made nearly 500 comedy films, both silent and sound. Lloyd is best known for his extended chase sequences that included daredevil physical feats like climbing the sides of tall buildings, hanging precariously from clocks, flagpoles and ledges. Lloyd did his own stunts and worked without safety nets, even after severely injuring his right hand in a 1919 accident with a prop bomb.

Lloyd, born in Burchard, Nebraska, started acting in one-reel film comedies in 1912 in San Diego, California. Lloyd soon began working with Thomas Edison’s motion picture company, Universal, and eventually ended up with Hal Roach. Lloyd was a founding member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Lloyd married his leading lady, Mildred Davis, in February of 1923, with whom he had two children; Gloria, born in 1923, and Harold, born in 1931. They also adopted Peggy in 1930. Lloyd’s home, “GreenAcres” has 44 rooms, 26 bathrooms, 12 fountains, 12 gardens and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lloyd was involved with early color film experiments. Some of the earliest 2-color Technicolor tests were shot at his Beverly Hills home.

Lloyd’s autobiography, An American Comedy, was published in 1928.

By the 1940s, Lloyd was no longer active in the film industry. In 1947, director Preston Sturges brought him out of retirement for one more film, The Sin of Harold Diddlebock. The film was a failure.

Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago. A quiet, shy, boy, he was always a loner thoughout his youth. Ford graduated from high school in 1960 and went on to college. He was booted out of Ripon three days before graduation. One good thing did come out of Ford’s college nightmare, he started taking drama courses.

Ford headed to the West Coast with his college sweetheart and soon-to-be wife, Mary Marquardt, to seek work as an actor. After playing numerous bit parts in movies, he was booted from his Columbia contract. Although he got numerous television roles in shows like “The Partridge Family”, “Gunsmoke”, “Kung Fu”, and “The Virginian”, acting just wasn’t paying the rent for his family. In 1974, he turned his back on acting and became a full-time carpenter.

When the money started to come in, he began to accept acting jobs again. Finally, Harrison’s big break came. One of his clients, Fred Roos, was a casting director at Universal, who had just been appointed to an unknown director named George Lucas for a film called AMERICAN GRAFFITI. The film was the surprise smash of 1973, and Roos gave Ford another job idea: the part of the smuggler Han Solo. To Harrison’s disbelief, Lucas gave him the part. His future as an actor was sealed when STAR WARS was released on May 25, 1977. It was a box office smash and a merchandiser’s dream.

Harrison’s career took a bit of a blow after STAR WARS. Ford met screenwriter Melissa Mathison, who, after his breakup with Mary Marquardt, became his wife. Ford and Mathison married in 1983.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK rejuvanated Ford’s career. It was just as successful as its predecessor, despite the chaotic production. It was that summer of 1980 that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg first developed the character of Indiana Jones, the adventurous, slightly immortal archaeologist. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, besides being the most fun Ford had ever had doing a film, won him the most notice of his career so far.

BLADE RUNNER proved to be a nightmarish experience for many involved in it’s creation. Ford played Rick Deckard, the dark, brooding hero who hunts down and destroys androids in Los Angeles, 2019. The film, despite being a flop, is a cult classic which still endures today. After BLADE RUNNER, Ford returned to the familiar character of Han Solo in RETURN OF THE JEDI. After RETURN OF THE JEDI came the second installment of the Indiana Jones adventures, called INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM.

Ford began to hunt for a role in which his abilities as a serious actor would be magnified, and the outcome was WITNESS. It represented Ford’s best acting, and his only Academy Award nomination, for best actor in 1985. Harrison and his second wife, Melissa Mathison, had been brought together because of their dislike of Hollywood. After purchasing 800 acres of undeveloped land seven miles from the town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, they moved into a two story farmhouse. Ford and Mathison had two children, Malcolm and Georgia, in 1987 and 1990, respectively.

Harry Belafonte (born Harold George Belafonte on March 1, 1927) is a Harlem-born calypso musician and actor who used his fame as an entertainer in the cause of human rights.

He is perhaps best known for singing the “Banana Boat Song” with its signature lyric “Day-O”. His breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first album to sell over 1 million copies. He was the first African-American to win an Emmy, with his first solo TV special “tonight with Belafonte”.

He appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and performed a controversial “Mardi Gras” number with footage intercut from the 1968 Democratic National Convention riots. Belafonte has gained notoriety for his left wing political views and has called both United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice “house slaves”.

From 1935 to 1939 he lived with his mother in her homeland Jamaica. When he returned to New York he attended George Washington High school after which he joined the navy and served during the second world war. At the end of the 1940s he took classes in acting and subsequently received a Tony Award for his participation in John Murray Anderson’s Almanac .

He has won a Grammy Award in 1985 for lifetime achievement and has been made a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

His daughter, Shari Belafonte , is a photographer, model and actress.

Sporting a Brooklyn accent and bulldog features, Harvey Keitel first gained recognition with a series of gritty roles in the early films of Martin Scorsese, and he was for a long time cast as one lowlife thug after another. His career experienced a renaissance in the 1990s, when roles in such films as Thelma & Louise, Bad Lieutenant, and The Piano demonstrated his versatility and his willingness to let it all hang out (literally) in the service of an authentic characterization. A product of Brooklyn, where he was born on May 13, 1939, Keitel grew up as something of a delinquent. At the age of 16, his truancy was put to an end when he was sent to Lebanon with the Marine Corps. Upon his return, he sold shoes and nurtured an interest in acting. He studied the craft with Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler and began appearing in off-off-Broadway productions. When he was 26, fate struck in the form of a casting ad placed by Scorsese, at that time a fledgling student director at New York University; Keitel’s response to the ad began a collaboration that would last for years and produce some of the more memorable moments in film history. Keitel and Scorsese made their onscreen feature debuts with Who’s That Knocking at My Door? (1968), in which the former played the latter’s alter ego. Five years later, they collaborated on Mean Streets; that and their subsequent collaborations of the ’70s, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) and Taxi Driver (1976), were some of the decade’s most memorable films. Unfortunately, despite these achievements, Keitel’s career suffered a great blow when he lost the lead in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now to Martin Sheen. He spent much of the ’80s appearing in obscure and/or forgettable films, save for Scorsese’s controversial The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and by the time he was cast in Thelma & Louise in 1991, he was in a career slump. 1991 and 1992 marked a turning point in Keitel’s career: his role in Thelma and Louise as a sympathetic detective — much like his role in that same year’s Mortal Thoughts — helped him break through the stereotypes surrounding him, and his Oscar nomination for his portrayal of gangster Mickey Cohen in Bugsy (1991) put him back in the forefront. Keitel’s work in 1992′s Bad Lieutenant, Reservoir Dogs, and Sister Act further established him as an actor of previously unappreciated versatility, and in 1993 he proved this versatility when he starred in Jane Campion’s exotic art drama The Piano, in which he famously appeared in the nude as Holly Hunter’s lover.

Hayden Christensen made headlines in the spring of 2000, when director George Lucas announced that the 19-year-old actor would play the much-coveted role of Anakin Skywalker in Episode II and Episode III of the venerable Star Wars franchise. Born in Vancouver but raised in Toronto, Canada, Hayden Christensen became involved with Canadian television productions at a young age and carried his skills over to American TV movies and series in the late ’90s. Though he would appear briefly in 1999′s The Virgin Suicides for director Sofia Coppola — a family friend of Lucas’ — it was Hayden Christensen’s work in the Fox Family Channel’s drama series Higher Ground which convinced Lucas to give the actor a reading. Adamant in his desire to find new talent for the role, Lucas passed over such potential adolescent Anakins as Ryan Phillippe, Jonathon Jackson, and even Leonardo DiCaprio in favor of Christensen. It remains to be seen whether the young actor will survive the typecasting that a similarly unknown Mark Hamill suffered some two and a half decades prior, in Episode IV.

Before Episode II made it to the screen, Hayden Christensen won accolades — including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor — playing a troubled goth teen in the family melodrama Life as a House. The stage thus set for his blockbuster debut, Hayden Christensen would be omnipresent on magazine covers and talk shows in the months leading up to Attack of the Clones’ release. The media blitz was not enough, however, to quell some critics’ responses to the film and its star, citing Lucas for his simplistic dialogue and singling out Hayden Christensen for an impudent, one-note performance. Though the detractors weren’t enough to prevent the film from grossing more than 300 million dollars stateside, Episode II still didn’t perform to predictions, as both the nascent Spider-Man and Lord of the Rings franchises stole a little luster from Lucas’ crown jewel, and heartthrobs the likes of Tobey Maguire, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom quickly eclipsed Hayden Christensen’s “it”-boy status.

Perhaps feeling the need to stretch his cinematic muscles, Hayden Christensen took on the role of a brash young plagiarist in the micro-budgeted Shattered Glass. The true-life tale of journalist Stephen Glass, whose fabricated stories brought shame to the hallowed halls of The New Republic, the film made the festival rounds before its release in the fall of 2003, and Hayden Christensen found himself back in the good graces of critics with his enigmatic, cipher-like turn as the duplicitous young writer.
