Chapter One

A

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO

ABBOTT, Bud

(top) (William Abbott) 1895-1974

COSTELLO, Lou

(Louis Cristillo) 1906-1959

Vaudeville comedians whose brash humour

and slick cross-talk attracted immense audiences

in the forties. Despite great personal

friction (Costello demanded, and got 60% of

the take), they stayed together until 1957.

Costello died from a heart attack two years

later, and a comeback by Abbott with a new

partner was not successful. Abbott, a lifetime

epileptic, died of cancer after two strokes.

Costello was a stunt man on several films of

the later twenties, including Bardelys the

Magnificent(1926), Taxi Dancer (1927) and

The Trail of '98 (1928).

ABRIL, Victoria (V. Rojas) 1959-

Vivacious Spanish actress with fine-boned

features, often in controversial or sexually

provocative roles. Trained as a dancer, she

was acting regularly in Spanish films at 18,

but it was in films directed by Pedro

Almodòvar that she rose to prominence with

a series of uninhibited performances. International

ventures have worked out less well,

and her best work has continued to be done in

Spain.

ADAMS, Brooke 1949-

Small, dark, chipper American actress, good

at brittle characterizations. An on-stage performer

at six, she had made her TV debut at

16 and her first film at 21. But, although given

some useful-looking leading roles during a

rather spasmodic career thereafter (she did

best in the 1978 version of Invasion of the

Body Snatchers), she never quite became a

reason for going to see a film, and was seen in

increasingly less commercial ventures after

1980. Married to actor Tony Shalhoub.

Waves/Death Corps (GB: Almost Human.

Windows (cable TV).

ADAMS, Joey Lauren 1971-

Apple-cheeked, light-haired American actress

of cute appeal and engagingly asthmatic

voice. After several years in TV series her

winning smile and offbeat personality put her

consistently near the top of the cast, although

the mainstream public is, as yet, still unlikely

to add a name to her face. Occasionally

credited simply as Joey Adams.

1993: Coneheads. Dazed and Confused. The

Program. 1994: S.F.W. Sleep With Me. 1995:

Normal. 2000: Beautiful. 2001: Harvard Man.

ADAMS, Julie (Betty May Adams) 1926-

Striking, jut-jawed brunette whose Hollywood

career languished in minor westerns

until Universal signed her up and changed

her name to Julia (the Julie came later). She

remained a reliable, faintly aristocratic

leading lady (though with warmth to spare)

for them for nine years and married another

Universal player, Ray Danton ( qv ), before

becoming a dialogue coach. Now best

remembered as the girl carried off by the

creature from the Black Lagoon.

Story (TV).

ADAMS, Maud (M. Wikstrum) 1945-

Tall, shapely, tawny-haired, Swedish born

international model who attracted some

showy big-budget leading roles without quite

having the acting talent to match her

ambitions. Producers seemed more interested

in getting her clothes off, probably the reason

she returned to modelling from time to time

in between films. Best known for her

decorative roles in two James Bond films.

Dome of Norma Jean. Mahoney's Estate. The

Boys in the Band. 1971: U-Turn. 1974: Rollerball.

ADAMS, Nick

(Nicholas Adamschock) 1931-1968

Stocky, fair-haired American leading man,

often cast as harebrained, easily led or other

kinds of tearaway. He enjoyed a good period

of popularity from 1959 to 1963 in the TV

series The Rebel and Saints and Sinners (as

crusading gunfighter and crusading reporter

respectively), but never quite made it to the

top in the cinema. Ended by making movies

in far-flung places and was found dead in

1968 from a drug overdose. Oscar nominee

for Twilight of Honor .

Mars. Los asesinos.

ADAMS, Tom 1938-

Tall, dark, saturnine British leading man who

starred in a series of James Bond spoofs in the

1960s. The budgets of the films were too low

for any large-scale cinema success, and

Adams's personality perhaps too inflexible

for starring roles in bigger movies. Since 1972

he has played 'second lead' roles in TV

dramas, soap operas and serials and cropped

up as an enthusiastic 'salesman' in

commercials.

1962: A Pair of Briefs. Play It Cool. A Prize of

Street. 1964: The Peaches. 1965: Licensed to

ADDAMS, Dawn 1930-1985

British-born glamour girl who appeared in

some Hollywood films of the 1950s. She was

screen-tested for National Velvet in 1944, but

lost to Elizabeth Taylor, with whom she

shared dark hair, dark eyes and a stormy and

well-publicized love life which settled down

when she married her second husband, a

retired businessman. Lived in Malta in the

ADJANI, Isabelle 1955-

Wide-eyed, dark-haired, brittle French

actress, at her bewitching best in shallow or

sombre roles. Born in Paris to an Algerian

father and German mother, she made her film

debut during her school holidays and came

into demand for international assignments

after her Academy Award nomination for The

Story of Adèle II. She won a second Oscar

nomination for Camille Claudel , but has had

little luck overall in finding projects that will

further her career.

(Jeanne de la Fonte) 1898-1933

Tiny, brunette French star of Hollywood

silent films. Born in a circus tent, she became

a Folies Bergères dancer. Found her way (via

Australia, and a film debut) to Hollywood by

success in silents but ill-health and the advent

of the talkies combined to wreck her career.

AFFLECK, Ben 1972-

Tall, dark, handsome American actor who

rose gradually to prominence in films after

beginning an acting career as a teenager.

Slightly stolid and lacking in personality if

still a decent actor, Affleck was on the verge of

leading roles by the turn of the millennium

without quite developing into a marquee

name. Indeed, his was partly fame by

association, as he and his rather more

charismatic friend and partner Matt Damon

( qv ) took an Oscar for their screenplay for

Good Will Hunting (in which Affleck gave one

of his most relaxed performances). An on-off

romance with actress Gwyneth Paltrow ( qv )

helped keep his name in the headlines. His

brother Casey Affleck is also an actor.

AGAR, John 1921-

Tall, sturdy, fair-haired ex-US Army

sergeant who drifted into films after marrying

Shirley Temple ( qv ) in 1945 (they divorced in

1949). Lacked the mobility for major films,

but sustained his leading man status in co-feature

westerns and horrors until the early

1960s. More recently he played bit parts,

describing himself as `poor but happy'.

AGUTTER, Jenny 1952-

Tall, demure-looking, blonde British leading

lady, in show business from childhood, from

the same ballet school (and mould) as Hayley

Mills and Pamela Franklin (both qv ). Film

career faltered after some big hits in the early

1970s when she projected innocence more

convincingly than most, but accelerated again

following her British Academy Award for

Equus . But she seemed to tire of playing roles

that required her to be put-on and take her

clothes off, and spent most of the 1980s on

stage and TV. Now in regal `older woman'

roles.

AHERNE, Brian 1902-1986

Matinée idol of the British stage in the

twenties. He went to Hollywood in 1933,

Elegant brunette French actress who made

over again in her thirties with the international

hit Un homme et une femme , which

won her an Oscar nomination. Married

(fourth of five) to Albert Finney from 1970 to

1978.
