Milton Berle
Malcolm Garnett
In a career that has spanned eight decades, and included everything from silent films to vaudeville to Broadway to radio, Milton Berle qualifies as one of the personifications of "show business". Despite making a mark in each of the aforesaid media, Berle achieved his greatest success as the first acknowledged superstar of television. Between 1948 and 1956, Tuesday nights belonged to the comedian. The success of his weekly variety show earned him the honorific titles of "Mr. Television" and "Uncle Miltie." Famous for his extremely high energy level and for a series of outlandish characterizations--especially those featuring the star in drag--Berle was at the top of the TV ratings for several seasons, but when the inevitable fade occurred, he was unable to find a subsequent suitable vehicle for his talents. He did, however, stay prominent in the public eye via many TV specials, both those built around him and in guest star spots, where his trademark cigar, snide wisecracks, unctuous manner and withering glare at the camera were put to good use.
Berle began his career as a child model, posing for the advertising campaign for Buster Brown shoes. He entered films in 1914, appearing in the serial The Perils of Pauline and Mack Sennett's Tillie's Punctured Romance. Reportedly, he appeared in over 50 silent films as a child performer. Berle began to perform on stage in 1920 in the Broadway production of Floradora. Appearances in vaudeville, where the comedian perfected his wiseguy persona, led to engagements in editions of Earl Carroll Vanities and the Ziegfeld Follies. He returned to features in New Faces of 1937 (1937) and made sporadic appearances in the 1940s, including Sun Valley Serenade (1941) and Always Leave Them Laughing (1949).
After establishing himself in the developing medium of TV, Berle returned to features and the stage, searching for the role that would duplicate his success on the small screen. Like others comics who became TV personalities (e.g., Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Carol Burnett, Sid Caesar), Berle had trouble shaking the public's perception of him as anything other than Uncle Miltie. His return to Broadway in Herb Gardner's play The Goodbye People (1968) was short-lived. He had moderate success touring in Neil Simon's Last of the Red Hot Lovers (1970) and later in the sex farce Norman, Is That You? (1975).
His feature work since 1960 has also been sporadic. He appeared as himself, hired to coach a showgirl (Marilyn Monroe) in comedy in George Cukor's Let's Make Love (1960), was a henpecked motorist in Stanley Kramer's all-star It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), partnered with Margaret Leighton as a mourner in Tony Richardson's sardonic The Loved One (1965), and delivered a dramatic portrayal of a Jewish gangster in Lepke (1975). He has continued to work into the 1990s, appearing in the 1995 direct-to-video children's film Storybook.
On TV, Berle has made numerous guest appearances on comedies, variety shows and specials and dramas. An attempt to revive his variety show in the mid-60s failed to attract audience attention. Berle has proven himself capable as a dramatic performer on the small screen. He earned a Best Actor Emmy nomination for his dramatic performance in the Doyle Against the House episode of The Dick Powell Show (NBC, 1961) and a Best Guest Actor Emmy nomination for his turn as a veteran actor struggling with Alzheimer's Disease in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 (Fox, 1995).
Uncle Miltie succumbed to colon cancer on March 27, 2002 at his home in Los Angeles, California, USA.moreless -

Susan Saint James
Officer Keach
Susan Saint James was a lovely and loony TV successor to Shirley MacLaine, her mildly kooky and clumsy free spirits came into vogue in the 'free love' era of the late 60s. A model briefly during her teens in both the US and in France, she soon headed to Hollywood to try her luck. Luck certainly came her way quickly as she landed a seven-year contract with Universal Studios within a heart beat. And if that wasn't lucky enough, her very first TV job would be in the highly popular 1966 crime thriller "Fame Is the Name of the Game" (1966) starring Anthony Franciosa and sexy femme fatale Jill St. John. Despite her model good looks, Susan downplayed her sexy allure in favor of a down-to-earth appeal. It paid off. She played the relatively innocent and awkward amateur sleuth Peggy Maxwell, Anthony Franciosa's "girl Friday," who always snooped a bit too much and found herself in life-threatening circumstances with Anthony Franciosa saving the day. Audiences took to Saint James and her character quickly. She continued as Peggy when a series based on the mini-movie evolved. "The Name of the Game" (1968) was a hit as well and Susan copped an Emmy for her work during the 1968-1969 season. She also had a fun recurring role as a equally klutzy thief who complicates things in "It Takes a Thief" (1968) . But she hit her peak as Police Commissioner Rock Hudson's plucky wife in "McMillan and Wife" (1971) from 1971 to 1976, her character still managing to get into her usual share of danger and trouble. A couple of noticeable roles in the films Outlaw Blues and the popular Dracula spoof Love at First Bite, opposite George Hamilton. She wisely returned to the series format co-starring with Jane Curtin in the liberal-minded sitcom "Kate & Allie" (1984), which would last five seasons. Susan chose to disappear from the limelight following the end of the series, return to her native Connecticut and devote her time to raising a family. She would also dedicate herself to charity work, notably the Special Olympics. She has since made very few appearances in specials and guest parts. She is married to NBC executive Dick Ebersol, best known for his work on "Saturday Night Live" (1975) and is the mother of five children.moreless -

James Gregory
Dave Harmon
Ask James Gregory to define his life's work, and he will say simply, "I am an actor." That single word, spoken by a man who has made his living in an extraordinarily competitive field sums up his philosophy, ethics, and emotions regarding life as well as career. Mr. Gregory is a proud man and an artist, one who doesn't let that term distract him from delivering an honest day's work. He is a no-nonsense professional who, through talent and determination, has built a solid reputation in the film industry as a consistent and reliable performer. Whether the part is a leading role or as an ensemble player, James Gregory has always approached his work with a combination of ambition, integrity, and respect. It is this ability to focus his performance at a practical level as well as an artistic one that has created the electrifying style and substance of the broad range of characters that he has played. Born in the Bronx borough of New York City, James Gregory grew up in suburban New Rochelle, NY. His ability and enthusiasm were recognized as early as high school, where he was elected president of the Drama Club, and captain of the Golf Team. Gregory enjoyed the challenge and sport of golf, and was talented enough to consider a career in professional golf at one time. Independent and ambitious, James Gregory has always been self-supporting.From boyhood jobs as a caddy, bus-boy, waiter and grocery clerk, he went to work on Wall Street as a runner shortly after the 1929 crash. Over a five-year period he was promoted to clerk, and then private secretary. Other private-sector positions that he has held are sales and office work, as well as real-estate. Mr. Gregory also served for 3 years during WWII, in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. His tour of duty took him to the Pacific where he spent 83 days in Okinawa. From local drama groups in Westchester County, Gregory progressed to professional status as a summer-stock player in 1935. He performed in plays throughout New York, Maryland, and New Jersey, and traveled with a troupe of performers through small towns in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, towing a trailer full of theatre props. They performed in school gymnasiums, churches, and YMCA's, earning 25.00 for a week of one-night stands. In 1939, Gregory made his Broadway debut in a production of "Key Largo", with Paul Muni and Jose Ferrar. Over the next 18 years, Mr. Gregory performed in approximately 25 Broadway productions, working with a stunning line-up of talented actors. This included Paul Newman and Karl Malden in "The Desperate Hours", Don Taylor and Dane Clark in "Fragile Fox", Lloyd Bridges and Joan Loring in "Dead Pigeon", and John Forsythe and Ed Begley, Sr. in "All My Sons". It was on Broadway that Gregory played the character "Biff" in "Death of a Salesman", performing with five "Willy Lomans" Lee J. Cobb, Gene Lockhart, Thomas Mitchell, Albert Dekker, and Robert F. Simon. During the course of his broadway career, James Gregory earned consistently favorable reviews for his performances by drama critics throughout the industry, such as the New York Press, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Hollywood Reporter, and "VARIETY". In 1956, Mr. Gregory's career moved from the Broadway stage to live television. He worked steadily throughout the glory years of TV for every major live television production from New York to Hollywood, and at one point accomplished what is believed to be a record for live performances, acting in five different dramatic productions in 10 days. Gregory also applied his dramatic talents to radio, doing narration and commercial work. He starred as "Captain Vincent J. Cronin" for a year, on the coast to coast broadcast of CBS Radio's "21st Precinct". Mr. Gregory segued smoothly into the taped television series of the early sixties, and had starring or feature roles in classics such as "Twilight Zone", "Columbo", "McCloud", "The Big Valley", "Gunsmoke, "Bonanza", "The Virginian", "Playhouse 90", and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", to name only a few. From 1959 to 1961, he played "Barney Ruditsky" on the NBC series "The Lawless Years", a role that was based on the 1920's real-life detective from New York City. Gregory also won acclaim with his portrayal of detective "Inspector Luger" for eight seasons on the hit television series "Barney Miller". In addition to carving a career for himself in every area of show business, James Gregory has also established himself firmly in movie and film history. He has worked with a long list of notables, including Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand, Angela Lansbury, John Wayne, Barbara Stanwyck, Andy Griffith, Kim Hunter, Robert Montgomery, Claude Raines, Vincent Price, Lillian Gish, and countless others. Gregory has earned the respect and regard of his colleagues both in front of and behind the camera, for the scope of his career and the strength of his talents. Says "Barney Miller" producer Danny Arnold, "Jim is a star in his field. There aren't that many feature character actors. Guys like him come along very seldom in this business." In a career that has spanned over a half century, James Gregory has won sympathy as the beleaguered Senator Iselin in "The Manchurian Candidate", (with Frank Sinatra), and horrified viewers as evil Morgan Hastings, the land-hungry father who shot his own son in "The Sons of Katie Elder". He has held the line against lawlessness and corruption as Sgt. Schaeffer in "Al Capone", (with Rod Steiger), and mesmerized viewers as the human-hating gorilla General Ursus, in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes". Yet above all, James Gregory has devoted his considerable talent to the vocation he loves so well, and has entertained, uplifted, and captivated with his performances. His commitment to quality and integrity has endeared him to a legion of fans, establishing him as a star in the acting field, and a legend in film history. Mr. Gregory lived with Anne Gregory, his beloved wife in Sedona, Arizona the last 54 years of his lifemoreless -
