A handsome, muscular leading man, Burt Reynolds first achieved prominence on TV's "Riverboat" (NBC, 1959-61). Although he made his film debut in 1961, he remained best known for his small-screen work, notably as partly Native American characters on "Gunsmoke" (CBS, 1962-65; a blacksmith), and "Hawk" (ABC, 1966; a detective).

A porcelain-skinned redhead with a child prodigy past and a promising acting future, Alicia Witt made her TV debut at the age of four, reciting Shakespeare on a 1979 episode of ABC's "That's Incredible". Probably best known for her role as Zoey Woodbine, the precocious and exceptionally dour teenaged daughter of struggling actress Cybill Sheridan (Cybill Shepard) on the CBS sitcom "Cybill" (1995-98), the performer racked up impressive film and television credits and was also a classically trained pianist.
