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 quirky chanteuse and songwriter who segued successfully from punk rock bands to a post-modern electronica solo career, dark-haired pixiesh Bjork emerged as Iceland's best known export beginning with the sweeping underground success of her band Sugarcubes in 1988. By 2000 the at once childlike and seductive performer had not only conquered the music industry with her inimitable vocal style and disjointed songwriting but had moved into acting, winning the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival for her work in Lars von Trier's period musical "Dancer in the Dark".

This multi-talented performer shot to fame when she conquered Broadway with her galvanizing stage presence in the musicals, "I Can Get It for You Wholesale" (1962) and "Funny Girl" (1964), in the latter as the gawky but gifted Fanny Brice. Streisand next powered a number of popular albums ("My Name Is Barbra") and award-winning TV specials ("Barbra Streisand: A Happening in Central Park"; "My Name Is Barbra", which was based on her hit album and won five Emmys) before moving into films.
