Charo
April Lopez
When Charo was quite young, she was discovered by famous musician Xavier Cugat, whom she later married on August 7, 1966, at the reported age of 15; Cugat was 66. The couple were the first to have their nuptials in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. In 1977, she became a naturalized citizen of the United States. On August 11, 1978 she re-married, this time to her manager Kjell Rasten, in Lake Tahoe. In 1982 she bore her only child, a son, Shel Rasten (who is a drummer with the metal band Treazen) and decided to move to Hawaii, where she regularly performed at the Outrigger Hotel and waited on customers at her restaurant on the island of Kauai. Charo waited for her son to grow up before returning to Los Angeles to get back into show business full time. Charo studied classical and flamenco guitar while residing in Murcia. As a result of her training and skill she has been named "Best Flamenco Guitarist" in Guitar Player Magazine's readers' poll. She now has a regular touring show in addition to appearances in Las Vegas shows regularly.

Ruth Gordon
Mrs. Warner
When Ruth Gordon, at the age of 72, won an Oscar for her delightfully sinister supporting performance in Rosemary's Baby (1968), she declared, "I can't tell you how encouraging a thing like this is." It nicely summed up the energy and optimism she displayed over a 70-year career, which began with a 1915 stage debut as Peter Pan and went on to include many now-classic dramatic and comedic stage roles in the likes of "The Country Wife" and "The Matchmaker." Though she had appeared onscreen in Camille (1915) and The Whirl of Life (1916), Gordon's film career began in earnest with roles in Abe Lincoln in Illinois (as Mary Todd), Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bul let (both 1940), and Two-Faced Woman (1941). She married playwright Garson Kanin in 1942; together they wrote a series of acclaimed screenplays that George Cukor directed: A Double Life (1947) and the Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn classics Adam's Rib (1949) and Pat and Mike (1952), all three Oscarnominated, as well as The Marrying Kind (1952). Gordon also wrote The Actress (1953), an adaptation of her own autobiographical play "Years Ago," which starred Jean Simmons in the title role. In the mid 1960s, Gordon took up screen acting once again and got her second wind in no time, picking up an Oscar nomination for her turn in Inside Daisy Clover (1965), and then becoming a sensation in Rosemary's Baby. She followed her Oscarwinning performance with hilarious work in Where's Poppa? (1970), and achieved bona fide "cult" status as Bud Cort's lover in the black comedy Harold and Maude (1971). Gordon worked constantly until her death, appearing in Every Which Way But Loose (1978), Boardwalk (1979), My Bodyguard (1980), and Maxie (1985). She also worked extensively on TV, including an Emmy-winning turn on an episode of "Taxi." She wrote two volumes of autiobiography, "Myself Among Others" (1971) and "My Side" (1976).moreless -

Joan Hackett
Tina Phillips
She died far too young and never quite got to be the international star she might have been, given her talent. But then, she was too unusual, too unconventional - she was the sort of actress whose work people treasure, and remember long after her death. TV, oddly enough, is where most people (outside of US theatregoers, at least) knew her best. She brought unusual sensitivity and depth to a vast number of 1960s guest shots on all the big shows of the period, and lots of TV movies, too; she also did the occasional prestige drama special, like the TV version of O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra". Movies didn't use her often enough, but her work in "The Group", "Will Penny" and "The Last Of Sheila" is very memorable.moreless -
