Jon Provost
Steve McCullough
Jon Provost is a national treasure. The check shirt and jeans he wore for seven years as Timmy on television's beloved "Lassie" hang in The Smithsonian next to Archie Bunker's chair. A sought-after celebrity guest, recently he appeared at the Sun Fest, a five-day pop music event that drew 400,000 people to Palm Beach, Florida. At his personal appearance, Jon signed 500 autographs in three hours -- that's 2.4 per minute! -- clear evidence that he touched the hearts of millions and continues to do just that today on cable television. Jon was already a seasoned professional when he won the role of Timmy at age seven. He was barely three when cast as Jane Wyman and Sterling Hayden's son in "So Big". During his career as a child actor and teen heart throb, he worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood: Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby in "The Country Girl", Natalie Wood and Robert Redford in "This Property is Condemned", Rod Steiger and Anita Ekberg in "Back From Eternity", Clint Eastwood in "Escapade in Japan", Kurt Russell in "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" and on television with Kim Novak, Jack Benny, Ann Sothern and even with that famous talking horse, Mr. Ed. By the time Jon Provost was eighteen, he'd worked in film and television for fifteen years. With a strong desire to try something new, he headed for Northern California, graduated college with a degree in psychology and worked in the field of special education. The beauty of the wine country seduced him and Jon never returned to L.A., preferring eventually to sell real estate in Sonoma County. But his fans always know where to find him. Letters from around the world still arrive at his door, some addressed simply: To Timmy from "Lassie", Santa Rosa, California, USA. Jon has also earned a nationwide reputation as a philanthropist, giving his time to a wide assortment of causes, including children's hospitals, humane societies and, closest to his heart, Canine Companions for Independence, on whose Board of Governors he currently serves. In 1986, The Motion Picture Council presented him with their award for Outstanding Contribution as a Humanitarian for his dedication in helping the physically challenged. In 1989, Jon and his TV mom, June Lockhart served as national spokespersons for Snuggles's Back to School Safety Child-Savers Program. That same year, Betty White presented Jon with the Allen Ludden Humanitarian Award. More recently, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Youth In Film Association for his continuing efforts with the Easter Seals Telethon and the Citizens Advisory Committee to the American Police Hall of Fame. In 1991, Jon returned to television as Timmy all grown up in "The New Lassie" with Dee Wallace Stone. He received a Genesis Award for Outstanding Television in a Family Series for a script he wrote focusing on the inhumane treatment of research animals. Of all his many accomplishments, Jon is most proud of his children, Ryan, 16, and Katie, 14. They were at his side in 1994 when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1999, he was made national spokesperson for SunAmerica, a financial services organization. Currently, he is writing his autobiography, TIMMY'S IN THE WELL.moreless -

Theodore Bikel
Guest Star
Viennese-born and Israeli-raised, Theodore Bikel spent the first decade after World War II in England, where he graduated from the Royal Academy Of Dramatic Art. The British cast him as a wide variety of ethnic types, but, though he appeared on screen with Bogart and Hepburn in "The African Queen" and on stage with Vivien Leigh in "A Streetcar Named Desire", amongst much else, his own parts were usually small, and his secondary career as a musician and folk-singer did not flourish in 50s London. So, halfway through the decade, he departed for America, where he was, almost immediately, much more successful. Here, his great musical talent was immediately recognised, and he was quite as likely to turn up on "The Perry Como Show" as in "Naked City". His movie career also improved - he got an Oscar nomination for "The Defiant Ones" in 1958, and was very busy in everything from "I Want To Live!" to "My Fair Lady". On stage, he played Tevye in "Fiddler On The Roof" over a thousand times. He was still going strong as the new century began.moreless -
Tony Jay
Mr. Shepherd
Tony Jay was a renowned actor for film, television and stage. He was also a respected talent in the world of animation voiceover. His roles included a recurring villain on the TV series Beauty and the Beast, the voice of Monsieur D'Arque on the acclaimed Disney film version of Beauty and the Beast, the voice of the narrator in several popular video games, and the seemingly villainous (but in fact surprisingly kind) Spiderus in the Gemini and Humanitas prize-winning Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.moreless -

June Lockhart
Mrs. Chadwick
Born in New York City, the daughter of actors Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, only child June made her professional debut at age eight in a Metropolitan Opera production of "Peter Ibbetson", playing Mimsey in the dream sequence. In the mid-1930s, the Lockharts relocated to California, where father Gene enjoyed a long career as one of the screen's great character actors. June made her screen debut in MGM's 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol", playing--appropriately enough the daughter of stars Gene and Kathleen Lockhart. June appeared in a dozen or more movies before 1947, when she made her Broadway bow playing the ingenue in the comedy "For Love or Money" with John Loder. She got a standing ovation on opening night; one critic compared her debut to the first big hits of Helen Hayes and Margaret Sullavan. The overnight toast of Broadway, she went on to win a Tony, the Donaldson Award, the Theatre World Award and the Associated Press citation for Woman of the Year for Drama for her work in that play. On TV, she has co-starred in popular series like "Lassie" and "Lost in Space."moreless -

Roddy McDowall
Andrew Leeds
Actor, photographer. Born Roderick McDowall, on September 17, 1928, in London, England. He was the only son of Thomas McDowall, a merchant seaman, and his wife, Winifred. As a child, Roddy appeared in a slew of British films, including Yellow Sands (1938) and Just William (1939). In 1940, Roddy moved to America, with his mother and sister, to escape the World War II bombing of London. Thomas McDowall joined his family shortly thereafter. They settled in Hollywood, where Roddy was immediately contracted by 20th Century-Fox. In 1941, he gave a remarkable performance as the juvenile lead in John Ford's Oscar-winning drama How Green Was My Valley. Roddy followed the film's success with equally impressive roles in the children's classics My Friend Flicka and Lassie Come Home (both 1943). Like many child stars, McDowall found it hard to transition into adult film roles. Frustrated with dwindling opportunities in Hollywood, he turned to stage acting. He toured in vaudeville and in summer stock before moving to New York in 1954. He was featured in a succession of memorable Broadway productions, including Compulsion (1957) and The Fighting Cock (1959). For the latter, McDowall earned a Supporting Actor Tony Award. In 1963, McDowall returned to film acting in the more mature role of Octavian in the extravagant feature Cleopatra, costarring with Richard Burton and longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor. Shortly after, he made his mark in television with a recurring roleas the miscreant Bookwormon the 1966 Batman series, opposite Adam West.His role as one of Batman's nemeses (others included Julie Newmar's Catwoman, Cesar Romero's Joker, and Vincent Price's Egghead) made McDowall a household name with younger viewers. In 1968, McDowall starred as the sympathetic scientist Cornelius in the seminal science fiction film Planet of the Apes. With undeniable camp appeal, the film spawned a number of sequels and earned McDowall a cult following. He reprised his role as Cornelius in the third installment, Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971). In the two subsequent releases, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), McDowall assumed the role of Cornelius' son Caesar. McDowall made a transition to the small screen with the Planet of the Apes TV series, appearing in a number of episodes in 1974. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he continued to direct his efforts toward television work. He acted in the TV movies The Rhineman Exchange (1977), The Martian Chronicles (1980), and Hollywood Wives (1985). During this period, McDowall's most notable film credit was as a washed-up movie star in the acclaimed horror film Fright Night (1985). Toward the end of his prolific career, McDowall lent his voice to a number of animated series, including the Darkwing Duck (1992) and The Adventures of Batman and Robin (1994). In 1998, he provided the voice of Mr. Soil in the Disney/Pixar animated feature A Bug's Life, which marked his final film role. McDowall was also an accomplished portrait photographer whose pictures of Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, and Mia Farrow appeared in Look and Life magazines.He published a series of books: Double Exposure (1966), Double Exposure, Take Two (1989), Double Exposure, Take Three (1992), and Double Exposure, Take Four (1993). An active and respected member of the Hollywood community, McDowall served on the executive boards of the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. McDowall died on October 3, 1998 after a long battle with cancer. He was 70 years old.moreless -
Chris Demetral
Guest Star
At the age of eleven, Christopher Peter Demetral's first audition resulted in the interest of an agent, his first role being in an educational video for children titled "Kids Have Rights, Too." He was soon cast in a number of television guest shots, including "Major Dad" and the "Wonder Years," eventually landing a role in the new HBO comedy series, "Dream On," from 1990 to 1996 as Jeremy Tupper, playing the son of Brian Benben and Wendie Malick. The series was nominated for eight Emmys during the six years, winning two, and Chris Demetral won the 1993 "Best Young Actor Starring in a Cable Series" at the Young Artist Awards.
During this period, Chris also appeared on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and had a four-episode role on the freshman year of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman." His career expanded into made-for-TV movies with roles in projects like "Jonathan: The Boy Nobody Wanted" (a 1992 film focused on the life and friends of an autistic boy), the 1993 true story-inspired "Bloodlines: Murder in the Family" about hit men, murder and mayhem, "Triumph Over Disaster: The Hurricane Andrew Story, and as Tim Matheson's brother in Stephen King's "Sometimes They Come Back." On the big screen during this period he worked with Bill Pullman in "Going Under," a comedy about a nuclear submarine and in Disney's family comedy, "Blank Check."
The long-awaited "Dallas" reunion in 1996, "Dallas: J.R. Returns," brought Chris an opportunity for more dramatic roles. Chris joined the "Dallas" regulars (Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy) as Christopher Ewing and also starred alongside Cybill Shepherd in "Journey of the Heart" (1997). ABC's "For Hope," directed by Bob Saget and co-starring Dana Delany and Rae Dawn Chong, remains one of Chris' favorite roles; the movie dealt with the horrifying effects of Scleroderma.
In addition to the TV-movie work, Chris has since returned for more guest-starring stints in episodic TV, beginning with "Beverly Hills 90210," and continuing with a recurring role on "Dawson's Creek." One of his most recent roles has been on the high-profile "C.S.I." on CBS where he played "James Johnson" in the fraternity-death episode, "Pledging Mr. Johnson."
Chris also has the lead in the first episodic television series filmed in HD (high definition) in "The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne" as Jules Verne, the writer of such adventure cs as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Around the World in Eighty Days." Two seasons of this international adventure series debuted on the SciFi Channel and entered US syndication in 2001.
Originally from Royal Oak, Michigan, Chris Demetral is now a resident of California, where he resides with his wife, Jana. A self-professed, die-hard Laker fan, Chris enjoys playing basketball in his free time and has participated in a number of charity-related sporting events.moreless -

Patricia McCormack
Guest Star
Patty was a model by age 4, and a TV performer at age seven when she played Ingeborg in the TV series called Mama from 1953-1957.
Patty played the part of the murderous little brat Rhoda Penmark in the 1954 production of The Bad Seed and then reprised her role in the 1956 movie of the same name. The movie role brought her into national prominence, and so her career remained steady over the years, later being relegated to starring as troubled teenagers in movies of the late 50's and early 60's.
Patricia briefly starred in her own series called Peck's Bad Girl (1959). The show was not well received and lasted less than one season. Peck's Bad Girl aired on CBS from May 5, 1959 to August 4, 1959, and then was rebroadcast from June 28, 1960 to September 20, 1960.
During the 1960's, Patricia was supposed to have also sung with a few rock bands, but I have not found any more details about this. It would be interesting to hear some of her singing, and to know what bands she sang with.
She next co-starred in the TV Series The Best of Everything (1970) which also lasted one season. From there, she briefly made a few appearances in the sitcom The Ropers (1979-80.) In 1984, Patricia appeared in an episode of the TV series Remington Steele called 'Second Base Steele.'
In 1988, she returned to movies after a long absence. In 1988, she starred as a mother in the movie Saturday the 14th Strikes Back and in the late 1990's, appearing on two movies, Mommy (1995) and Mommy II: Mommy's Day (1997.)moreless -

Erin Gray
Guest Star
Erin spent the first seven years of her life on the island of Hawaii before moving to Palm Springs to live with her grandparents. She began modeling at the age of 15 after her mother sent her photo to a St. Louis teen clothing manufacturer. In the late 1960s Erin made her television debut as a dancer in a variety show starring Ricky Nelson called Malibu U.Erin married her high school sweetheart Ken Schwartz and moved to New York where her modeling career flourished. In 1974 Erin gave birth to her first child Kevan Gray Schwartz. For the next several years Erin's face became one of the most recognized in the country. Among her many commercial credits she served as the original spokesperson for Loreal's "I'm Worth It" campaign as well as being the Maxi Girl for Max Factor, one of the first Sports Illustrated models, the Bloomingdale's spokesperson for over 10 years, and perhaps the most famous commercial campaign of the 70s: The Virginia Slims ads.
In the late 70s Erin and family moved back to Los Angeles so she could persue her acting career. After making several guest appearances in television series after series and landing a starring role in the movie Evening At Byzantium, MCA Universal gave her a contract. Her first starring role in a series came opposite Gil Gerard in Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. By the series end in 1981 Colonel Wilma Deering had left a lasting impression of viewers around the world.
In 1982, Erin was cast as Kate Summers in a pilot series called Silver Spoons. At first Kate was supposed to blend in with the scenery. The part was created for someone to look after Edward Stratton III. It wasn't long before Kate was as popular a character of those played by Rick Schroder and Joel Higgins. Within the first four years of the series Kate went from Edward's personal assistant to head of the Laser Division at Eddie Toys to Edward's wife and finally President of Eddie Toys. So much for blending in with the scenery...moreless
