Jerry Hall (1956):
|
Actress who is more famous for her romantic entanglement than her acting ability. In the ‘70s, Hall was a high profile fashion model who married none than Mick Jagger of "The Rolling Stones" - and their shaky relationship has sold many a tabloid paper ever since. While Hall’s best-known performance would be as the Joker’s girlfriend in the 1989 film, Batman, she has also appeared in Freejack (1992), Princess Caraboo (1994), and played the role of "bored girlfriend" in RPM in 1997. Hall has recently been seen baring all in the role of Mrs. Robinson in the London stage production of "The Graduate."

|
Actress who began her career as the singing voice of Melody on the popular cartoon "Josie and the Pussycats" (1970-74). While working on the animated series, Ladd made appearances on the TV shows "Happy Days" and "Police Woman." Her beauty and talent soon caught the eye of producer, Aaron Spelling, and Ladd was cast in the role that would make her a star – playing Chris Monroe on "Charlie’s Angels." Since her work on "Charlie’s Angels" (1976-81), Ladd has appeared in TV movies such as "Grace Kelly" (1983), "Romance on the Orient Express" (1985), "Fulfillment" (1989), "Victim of Innocence" (1990), "Broken Promises: Taking Emily Back" (1993) and, most recently in Lifetime's "Her Best Friend's Husband" in 2002.

Ron Silver (1946):

Actor who received his master’s in Chinese History before deciding on an acting career. Once Silver made up his mind to act, there was no stopping him. He moved from NY to the west coast in 1973, and was soon cast on the hit sitcom "Rhoda." In 1988, Silver made his Broadway debut, opposite Madonna, in the play "Speed the Plow." His Tony award-winning performance led to roles on both the big and small screen in films including Reversal of Fortune (1990), Mr. Saturday Night (1992), Timecop (1994), "Kissinger and Nixon" (1995), "Two Babies: Switched at Birth" (1999) and "In the Company of Spies" (1999).

Richard Petty (1937):
|
Racecar driver who has driven on the NASCAR Winston Cup circuit for over 32 years. Petty was a part of the racing experience ever since he was a small child, as he would watch his father zip around the track. While he initially set his sights on being a mechanic, it was only a matter of time before Petty would decide he was destined to race. In 1960, Petty won his first race on the Charlotte Speedway, and he would go on to have a record 200 career victories, seven of which were Winston Cup Championships, and another seven that were Daytona 500 wins. Petty’s glory days spanned 2 decades – the ‘60s and the ‘70s. He officially retired at the end of the 1992 season.
