Dustin Hoffman

An eclectic non-conventional leading man, Dustin Hoffman is an actor's actor who has time and again re-defined our notion of the screen hero. His long-lived success in Hollywood comes from his ability to take on such varied fare as a restless college grad, a street hustler, an autistic man, a woman, a dedicated reporter, a complex comedian and more make us truly believe these characters are flesh and blood and could be living just down the street from us.

Born August 8th 1937 in Los Angeles California, Hoffman soon moved to New York City to pursue a career on stage and television. Establishing himself as stage actor came quickly, and after a role in the Alan Arkin directed play "Eh?, director Mike Nichols cast Hoffman in the role that launched him into stardom. The Graduate (1967) was the 29 yearyear-old Hoffman's big break. He played recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock who has an affair with a much older woman, who also happens to be the wife of his father's boss. His portrayal of the shy wayward Braddock earned him his first Best Actor Oscar nomination. nomination Two short years later Hoffman earned his second Best Actor nomination for his performance in Midnight Cowboy (1969). As street hustler Ratso Rizzo, Hoffman showed his sundry acting abilities that would continue to shine throughout his legendary career. These abilities were put to the test again only a year later in Little Big Man (1970) where he starred as a 100 year old man. The 1970's brought the young Hoffman many diverse roles that kept the theatres crowded and the critics at bay. Straw Dogs (1971), Papillion (1973) Lenny (1974), which landed Hoffman his third Oscar nomination, nomination All the President's Men (1976), Marathon Man (1976) and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) where he finally won an Oscar for his role as a career oriented father who is forced to rethink his priorities after a divorce from his wife. Hoffman's versatility was again exercised in the comedy Tootsie (1982). In this film he played a failed actor who disguises himself as a woman to succeed in television. This comedic role solidified Hoffman's star power and talent in the eyes of critics and audiences alike. After a disappointing effort in Ishtar (1987), Hoffman got right back up on his feet with another Oscar winning performance in Barry Levinson's Rain Man (1988) as an autistic savant, which is arguably one the most accurate and heart felt portrayals of a disabled person on film.

4.

The early 1990's saw Hoffman's career at a lull. After box office and critical disappointments with comic book inspired Dick Tracey (1990), Billy Bathgate (1991), Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991), and Hero (1992). Hoffman regained his crown with the box office hit Outbreak (1995). In the late 1990's Hoffman teamed back up with Rain Main director Barry Levinson for three more movies; Sleepers (1996), Wag the Dog (1997), which earned Hoffman yet another Oscar nomination and the sci-fi underwater thriller Sphere (1998). After about three years of downtime Dustin completed the romantic comedy Midnight Mile (2002) and the crime drama Confidence (2002) and revisited his past with a role along side his old college friend Gene Hackman in Runaway Jury (2003) and the bio-picture Neverland (2003), which explores J.M. Barrie and the origins of his classic story "Peter Pan". In 2004 he will appear in I Love Huckabees and The Lost City. Hoffman's stage work has been equally impressive, returning to Broadway in 1974 for his stage directorial debut, All Over Town, Town, and in 1984 to star as Willy Loman in the revival of Death of a Salesman, Salesman which he also produced and for which he earned the Drama Desk Award for Best Actor and an Emmy Award when the production was filmed as a special presentation for television. He would reprise his long run on the London stage as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice and receive a Tony Award nomination. Hoffman also produced the feature film A Walk on the Moon, Moon and executive produced, and won two Emmy Awards for, The Devil's Arithmetic. Arithmetic He was married to ballerina Anne Burne form 3 May 1969 1980 (they have 1 daughter & 1 stepdaughter) and then to Lisa Gottsegen for 1980 until the present day (thy have 4 children).

Uma Thurman Thurman


Thurman was raised in an offbeat, offbeat, bohemian household by intellectual parents. parents Her Swedish-born mother, Nena, was a psychotherapist who was briefly married to psychedelic guru Timothy Leary before marrying one of his prized students, Robert A.F. Thurman. Uma's father father was the first American to be ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk. monk He has long since renounced his monastic life and is currently chairman of the religion department at Columbia University. University Steeped in Buddhist faith and encouraged to be free thinkers, thinkers Uma and her three brothers, Dechen, Ganden, and Mipam (all four children were named for Hindu deities; "Uma" translates into "bestower of blessings"), developed a multicultural worldview. The family lived for extended periods in India while the children were in grade school, Amherst, Massachusetts, and Woodstock, New York. Her father hosted monks from around the globe and entertained his personal friend, the Dalai Lama, when he visited America. Thurman has described herself as a gangly and awkward awkward child who was mercilessly teased for her peculiar name (which she made a habit of changing regularly to more commonplace names like Kelly and Linda in an attempt to be accepted) and for being ugly and weird. Though she tried to join in all-American pursuits like cheerleading, Thurman became increasingly drawn toward acting after receiving her first smattering of applause as a ghost in an elementary school play. At 15, she began to evidence signs of what her mother diagnoses as "the family restlessness" and left school to move to New York City and become an actress. Thurman supported herself by washing dishes and by modelling, as her mother had done years before when she was fresh off the boat from Sweden. Thurman loathed her cover-girl aping and, luckily, didn't have to work at it long. At 16, she landed her first leading assignment as a young vamp who seduces men to rob them in the lowbudget thriller Kiss Daddy Good Night (1987). Inglorious as this debut may have been, Thurman managed to garner the only favourable notice granted the utterly forgettable film. She slogged her way through her next project, Johnny Be Good (1988) but was subsequently rewarded with a more respectable role as the goddess Venus in Terry Gilliam's spectacle The Adventures of Baron Baron Munchausen. Munchausen She began to develop a reputation for playing erotically-charged roles. At 18, she played the role of a convent-sheltered naif seduced out of her corset by John Malkovich's reptilian Vicomte de Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons. Liaisons Aghast at the media frenzy ignited by her bodice-ripping performance, Thurman fled to England and rejected a flood of offers, not wanting to be the next sexual flavour of the month. It wasn't long before she was coaxed back to Hollywood as novelist Henry Miller's bisexual, Brooklynite wife, June, in 990's Henry & June. June Thurman, pulsated as the mutual carnal interest of both Miller and French writer Anais Nin, both of whom not only acted out their obsession for her physically but, between them, feverishly penned thousands of torrid 8.

pages about their encounters with her. The film became something of a cause celebre for its strong (bi)sexual content, which nearly resulted in the film receiving an X rating (finally released as NC-17). Thurman counterbalanced her steamy, uninhibited performance as June with roles in thoroughly innocuous mainstream fare like Final Analysis, Jennifer 8 and Mad Dog and Glory. Glory In 1994, 1994 Thurman went back off the beaten track when she agreed to appear in Pulp Fiction. Fiction (Her initial reservations about the ultra-violent content were overcome by meeting Quentin Tarantino and being encouraged by his "painterly" vision of underworld brutality.) For her performance as the heroin-sniffing moll-with-it-all, Thurman snagged her first Oscar nomination, nomination for Best Best Supporting Actress. Actress Her hit-and-miss parade continued with a string of performances in Generation X-ish comedies like Beautiful Girls and The Truth About Cats and Dogs and in a period comedy, A Month by the Lake. Lake In 1998, Thurman joined Liam Neeson, Claire Danes, and Geoffrey Rush in a film adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Miserables and teamed up with Ralph Fiennes to outwit villain Sean Connery in the big-screen version of the '60s cult TV classic The Avengers. Avengers The following year, a radiant Thurman co-starred alongside a full-tilt Sean Penn in Woody Allen's valentine to '30s-era jazz musicians, Sweet and Lowdown. Lowdown Despite her attempts to guard her privacy, Thurman's love life has been a subject of prime public interest ever since Dangerous Liaisons. Liaisons She wed actor Gary Oldman in September 1990 but they split the following year amid rumours of his excessive drinking (Oldman was arrested for drunk driving after partying it up with buddy Kiefer Sutherland). The couple divorced in 1992. Following a set romance with her Beautiful Girls co-star, Timothy Hutton, in 1995, Thurman commenced a relationship with Ethan Hawke during filming of the 1997 futuristic thriller Gattaca. Gattaca The couple married in May 1998 and welcomed a daughter, Maya Ray, in July of that year. In the spring of 2000 Uma signed on to become the new "face" of cosmetics giant Lancome. This, needless to say, catapulted Uma's popularity, nabbing her over 9 magazine covers in just 12 months. Her new-found model status garnered her many movie offers, and in late 2000 she played Anne in Vatel (2000) opposite Gerard Depardieu and Tim Roth followed by a very strong performance as Charlotte Stant in Golden Bowl Bowl, The (2000), (2000 co-starring Anjelica Huston. With several films due for release and her second child on the way, it looks like the second decade of Uma Thurman's career will be even more interesting than the first.

Tom Waits

Tom Waits was born on the eighth anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbour. His parents who are both school teachers divorced when he was 10. They then moved to National City. Tom is Scottish and Irish from his father's side of the family and Norwegian from his mother's side. He and his two sisters grew up moving around from city to city in California. Waits claims he was born in a moving taxi and moved throughout throughout the state as a child withhis troubled family.

Waits was interested in music from an early age " he was a big Bob Dylan fan began tacking up sheets of Bob Dylan's lyrics in his room and even framed some in the rest of his house but never seriously considered it a career choice. He preferred Bing Crosby, Stephen Foster parlour songs, and George Gershwin. He also developed an intense admiration for, and identification with, such Beat writers as Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski. He taught himself how to play the piano at a neighbours house and then learned the guitar on a Gibson. As well as creating music at an early age, the persona that Tom is famous for soon appeared. He enjoyed entertaining his classmates and an art class teacher would let him play his harmonica for the class and sometimes he would be asked to get up on the tables and do his version of a "soft shoe". In the summer of 1972 Waits was living out of a car and working as a doorman at The Heritage in San Diego when he decided he should be performing and began writing songs based on overheard snatches of conversation. He would get up between acts and perform on a small stage. These performances caught someone's eye, because Herb Cohen had signed him on to Asylum records at the age of 22. Waits built up a strong cult following as an opening act. Working solo, he merged humorous Beatnik freefree-verse raps with his own compositions. In 1973 Waits toured with a sax-bass-drums trio, often opening for Frank Zappa and the Mothers and usually drawing extremely adverse audience receptions. His second album, produced by Bones Howe, sold a little better than the first. During this time, Tom tried to live the lifestyle that he portrayed in his songs - a time of smoke and alcohol. He also became involved with Rickie Lee Jones (featured on the Blue Valentine album cover) and she and pal Chuck E. Weiss were part of the same crazy scene that defined Tom's persona in the seventies. After too many late nights, Tom realized that he could not go on the same way for much longer. The persona he had struggled so hard to define would now cause him problems. One of Tom's first trying times came after he released Foreign Affairs and Blue Valentine. Critics seemed to think these albums were just going down the same rut as the earlier albums and without the same spirit. At the same time Tom seemed to be struggling with what he wanted to do, two good things happened in his life. The first was working with Francis Ford Coppola and Zoetrope 12.

to compose the music for "One From The Heart" where a lot of the story is told through the music. Coppola showed him how to sit down and actually write music. The second benefit for working with Zoetrope appeared after he met a script editor named Kathleen Brennan. Kathleen soon caught Tom's Tom's eye and they began their unorthodox relationship. Waits has stated that "She can lie down on nails, stick a knitting needle through her lip and still drink coffee, so I knew she was the girl for me." They were married in August 1980 and honeymooned in Tralee, Co. Kerry. Tom not only memorialized his love for her in songs like "Johnsburg, Illinois" (her birth place), she would also become a major force and collaborator in his music as well. With these new experiences, Tom ventured a little too far away from from stable ground for Asylum Records. His album Swordfishtrombones was just a little too strange for what management expected. Waits took this album and his music to Island Records where he found a new home. The next few albums were a metamorphosis of his career. These albums were done without the back streets and alley ways of his early albums. The lyrics went a little deeper and the music expanded from his folk and jazz roots into a bizarre combination of strange instrumentation. This new style has never been played on the mainstream radio stations but it gained him a very strong reputation among other musicians and the fans that remained with him became stronger than ever. Tom's peak year came in 1976. Waits is a oneone-man Beatnik revival. He generally generally appears with a cap pulled over his brow, a cigarette dangling from his stubbled face, talksinging and/or mumbling jive in a cancerous growl to the accompaniment of cool saxophone jazz.He jazz. also writes romantic ballads, which have been covered by the Eagles, Rickie Lee Jones, and others. In 1990 Waits won a lawsuit against snack-food giant Frito-Lay, which in 1988 had hired a Waits impersonator to sing a tortilla-chip radio jingle closely modeled on Waits' "Step Right Up" (from Small Change). Waits, who had consistently refused to perform in any commercials, won $2.5 million in damages, through a decision ultimately upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. The clattering Bone Machine won a 1992 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music album. The Black Rider, with its demented Weimar-cabaret stylings, was the score from Waits' theatrical collaboration with avant-garde stage designer/director Robert Wilson and author William S. Burroughs. Waits and Wilson collaborated again on a 1993 update of Alice in Wonderland. Waits also guested on Bay Area postpunk/fusion band Primus' Sailing the Seas of Cheese, and on British composer Gavin Bryars' Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, Ye an unlikely 1994 U.K. hit in which Bryars orchestrated the "found" mumbling of a hymn by a London drunkard.

Born in Britain in 1949, singer-songwriter Mark Knopfler entered the music industry as a college rock critic, later performing in a bar band by night while teaching English by day. In 1977 Knopfler formed the London blues-rock band Dire Straits with his roommate John Illsley (bass), his brother, David (guitar) and a local drummer named Pick Withers. The group's debut single, "Sultans of Swing," became a Top 10 hit in the U.K. and U.S., launching Dire Strait's nearly two-decade long, million-selling career. Throughout Dire Straits' lifetime Knopfler was clearly in control of the band, writing the songs and lyrics; as the quartet's lineup shifted, he remained the center of the band, the acclaimed guitarist and vocalist behind Dire Straits' signature sound. In the early 1980s Knopfler began a writing film scores on the side, starting with the 1983 movie Local Hero. He went on to score Cal (1984), The Princess Bride (1987), Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989) and Wag the Dog, all the while performing and recording with Dire Straits and producing albums for artists such as Bob Dylan, Aztec Camera and Randy Newman. In 1995 Knopfler ended Dire Straits to begin a full-time solo career. His solo debut album, Golden Heart, came out in 1996. Knopfler is currently working on the score for the forthcoming film Metroland. Knopfler's second solo album was a long time in coming. Sailing To Philadelphia was finally released in 2000.
