Kristine was raised on a small self-sufficient farm in upstate New York. As a young girl, she took ballet and studied voice. At 14, she began modeling for Macy's. During her freshman year of high school, Kristine auditioned for and won the part of Marta in the musical The Sound Of Music. The following summer, the now-famous Mac-Haydn Theatre opened in DeBell's hometown, featuring The Sound Of Music as its last show of its season. Kristine auditioned for the part of Marta again, however producers felt her voice was too mature and cast her as the naughty postulant. This was the beginning of a fruitful four performance seasons with The Mac-Haydn Theatre. After graduation from high school and a year at Berkeley College studying Fashion Merchandising, Kristine began modeling for Ford Models in NYC. She later moved into acting and is known for starring in an X-rated film version of Alice in Wonderland . She was on the April 1976 cover of Playboy, photographed by Suze Randall, and appeared in the Helmut Newton pictorial, "200 Motels, or How I Spent My Summer Vacation"( August, 1976), from which 11 original prints were sold at auctions of Playboy archives by Butterfields in 2002 for $21,075 and three by Christies in December 2003 for $26,290. Kristine starred in a number of motion pictures including Meatballs (Bill Murray's first film and Ivan Reitman's directorial debut), Blood Brothers (Richard Gere's first film, directed by Robert Mulligan), and The Big Brawl (Jackie Chan's first American film). Kristine also starred in a number of television pilots throughout the early 1980's, and enjoyed many guest-star appearances in episodic television and movies of the week, including Night Court, and the award-winning soap opera The Young & The Restless. DeBell left the film and television industry in the mid-1980's to raise her children on a thoroughbred farm in upstate New York. Her passion for theater brought her back to the stage, and she began starring in many regional theater productions. One of her most memorable performances was as Blanche Dubois in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Since moving back to Los Angeles in 2008, she has enjoyed steady work as a film and television actress.

Marguerite Chapman, a small-town secretary and tomboy nicknamed "Slugger", became a model only after friends insisted "you oughta be in pictures", and she went on to act in more than 30 movies. Never a Hollywood wannabe, Chapman grew up in Chatham, New York, with four brothers. She started working as a typist and switchboard operator in White Plains, New York. Praised repeatedly for her beauty, she became a John Powers model in New York City. After she had appeared on the covers of enough magazines, studios beckoned her to Los Angeles. From 1940 to 1943 she appeared in 18 movies, ranging from Charles Chaplin comedies to armed services booster films as a member of the Warner Bros. singing and dancing Navy Blues Sextet. Chapman was cast as the leading lady in Destroyer (1943) with Edward G. Robinson and Glenn Ford. During World War II she entertained troops, kissed purchasers of large war bonds and appeared in a string of war-themed pictures. By the 1950s, however, she had slipped into supporting roles, notably as the secretary Miss Morris in The Seven Year Itch (1955) with Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell. As her film career waned, she made a few appearances on television, and appeared occasionally in small theaters. Her last film, The Amazing Transparent Man (1960), was a low-budget sci-fi quickie shot by cult director Edgar G. Ulmer in a few days on the grounds of the state fair in Texas (she was asked to appear as "Old Rose" Calver in Titanic (1997), but she was too ill at the time, and the role went to Gloria Stuart). She was married and divorced from attorney G. Bentley Ryan and assistant director Richard Bremerkamp. Her acting career is memorialized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Delightfully offbeat, redheaded comedic actress Deborah Rush, from theater, films and TV, was born on April 10, 1954, in Chatham, New Jersey and developed an early interest in making people laugh as a child. Following high school, she decided to pursue acting headfirst, apprenticing with the Play-House of the Ridiculous comedy troupe for starters. She headed for New York and made her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning musical "Dance with Me" (1975) which ran nearly a year. Later in the decade she appeared winningly in a number of New York Shakespeare productions for Joseph Papp including "The Misanthrope," "All's Well That Ends Well" and as Bianca to Meryl Streep's Katherine and Raul Julia's Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew." She also understudied Streep as Alice in Papp's "Alice in Concert" musical, based on the popular Lewis Carroll character.

Film and TV began coming Deborah's way in the late 1970s, making her movie debut in a bit part in Oliver's Story (1978), the wan remake of the romantic tearjerker Love Story (1970). By her second film, however, she was starting to grab notice even in the smallest of contributions with just a vacant look or manipulating her trademark scratchy voice to comic effect. Who can forget her hilarious scene as the cooey-voiced dental assistant with patient Dudley Moore and Blake Edwards in 10 (1979)? Elsewhere, her stage performances in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1982) (as Hermia), and in the musical Alice at the Palace (1982) were engagingly recaptured on TV. She remained strongly rooted to her first love, the theatre, over the years. Other plays that captured her special brand of eccentrics included "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You," "Maybe I'm Doing It Wrong," "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" and "The Sisters Rosenzweig." In 1983, Deborah returned to Broadway as nascent, hilariously myopic actress Brooke Ashton in the slapstick farce "Noises Off," capturing a Tony nomination as well as Drama Desk Award. She returned to Broadway a couple of years later to co-star with Rosemary Harris and Campbell Scott in Noël Coward's "Hay Fever" (1985).

Although top character stardom proved elusive, Deborah has remained a durable comic presence for five decades and has provided amusing secondary finesse for a host of notable directors throughout the 1980's, including Woody Allen (twice, with Zelig (1983) and The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)); John Schlesinger (with Honky Tonk Freeway (1981)); John G. Avildsen (with A Night in Heaven (1983)); and Frank Perry (with Compromising Positions (1985)); Bob Balaban (with (Parents (1989)); Sidney Lumet (with Family Business (1989)); and Susan Seidelman (with She-Devil (1989)). She maintains that lovable habit of grabbing attention wherever she works.

On television Deborah played the recurring role of the Mayor's wife on the comedy series Spin City (1996) and had a regular part on the short-lived but critically-acclaimed series Strangers with Candy (1999). A prequel of sorts was made later with the feature film version of Strangers with Candy (2005). Comedy took center stage in a number of 90's film credits: My Blue Heaven (1990) headed by Steve Martin; the "eccentric relatives" ensemble movie Passed Away (1992); the zany Christmas time crimer Reckless (1995); the madcap gay farce In & Out (1997) starring Kevin Kline; and the classic Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan romantic heart-warmer You've Got Mail (1998).

Into the millennium, Deborah has exhibited wonderfully off-kilter parts in both comedy and drama, including The Good Girl (2002) with Jennifer Aniston; the second "American Pie" sequel American Wedding (2003); and the dramatic film Half Nelson (2006) as Ryan Gosling's wacky mom; Stage sightings included a Broadway return (after a two- decade absence) in the revival of "Absurd Person Singular" in 2005 as well as an off-Broadway stage role as Henrietta Iscariot in "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" opposite Sam Rockwell's title role that same year. She also appeared in a production of "Blithe Spirit" in 2009.

Other comic outings on film have included The Good Life (2007), Julie & Julia (2009), Rhymes with Banana (2012), Women Who Kill (2016) and Accommodations (2018), while on TV she hit both funny and serious marks on such programs as "The Good Wife," "Law and Order," "Inside Amy Schumer," "The Blacklist" and recurring roles on Big Lake (2010), Orange Is the New Black (2013) (as Piper's mother), and Billions (2016).

Rush has been married since 1985 to Chip Cronkite (né Walter Leland Cronkite III), son of the iconic news anchor, and is the mother of their two sons: Walter Cronkite IV and Peter.

His every conceivable professional aspiration achieved by the age of thirty-three, his legacy as undefeated champion of campus and television battlefields eternally guaranteed, in 2017, Milo Yiannopoulos retired. Milo was the most influential and prolific writer and activist of his generation throughout a short but dazzling career in which he prayed for, but was never granted, a leftist of equal talents to play with.

Nicknamed the "pop star of hate" by jealous fatties in the media, he was banned from entire continents for his unapologetic commitment to the sound of his own voice. But it was a voice worth hearing. Architect, chronicler and paladin prince of countless era-defining public clashes, Milo's gift was seeing further than others, at what was coming next. He could see around corners and peer into people's souls, sussing out what made them tick and what made them mad. His coinages stuck.

Milo conjured "Daddy" for Donald Trump, effortlessly capturing the quintessence of our yearning for him. À propos of nothing, he wondered aloud, "Would you rather your child had feminism... or cancer?" In headlines, he asked coquettishly whether birth control made women "unattractive and crazy." That last one earned him a dramatic reading from Hillary Clinton, all bafflement and horror. She could not imagine the man so freely, fearlessly, and perhaps even with relish, crumpling her sacred shibboleths.

A peerless icon of the modern political milieu, his championship title remains unthreatened even now, after half a decade of unrelenting imitation and tribute. Milo sauntered into his premature and absurd retirement as a New York Times-bestselling author, an award-winning reporter, an international cultural and political phenomenon, a free speech martyr, an accomplished serial entrepreneur, a hair icon, and, at least behind closed doors, a penitent.

When he was not predicting the future, Milo was writing it, shaping it in his own image. It was Milo who expertly ushered Gamergate into mainstream discourse, leaving feminism with a bloody nose just in time for the election. Milo, single-handedly and overnight, ended the "campus rape culture" hysteria and "gender pay gap" mythology with thunderous victories over grizzling opponents.

His first book, Dangerous, sold a quarter of a million copies while the author was blacklisted by every publication in America and banned from social media. This achievement will never be repeated. Now, as then, Milo writes strictly for his own amusement. These days, Milo ghost-writes bestselling autobiographies for the few media personalities who can afford his monstrous fees... and sustain his interest.

You've most likely read one of his hobby projects and not known it. Under his own name and those of his appreciative clients, Milo has sold over three million books since 2016-but he's not counting, because it's gauche and tiring, and it interferes with his other chief hobby: A carefully-maintained air of nonchalance and effortlessness keeping time between eruptions of commercial success.
