Welcome to Actors, Actresses, Film and Entertainment

When Alice Faye left us in 1998, she did more than take with her the redeeming talents of a singer turned actress. Alice Faye emblazoned upon a number of generations the integrity, stamina, and grit of a tough and talented legend.

A child raised in Hell’s Kitchen, Alice Faye advanced early and continuously. She was a good student and she graduated from public school in New York. That same year, when she was thirteen, Alice auditioned for the Earl Carroll Vanities—instead of enrolling in high school. Initially, the mature-for-her-age Faye was grated a place with the troupe, but was turned away when it was discovered she was only thirteen.

John Denver Remembered

t’s been nearly 10 years since John Denver left us and the world is the poorer for his parting.
As a member of his Windstar organisation, I have fond memories of attending the summer Windstar symposiums back in the early 90’s. Such wonderful times in such a beautiful place, and the music, there was always the music.

Bob Marley Legend Lives On

And we say Bob Marley legend because when we were in college in the seventies or on the grassy knolls of the Haight or breaking free from corporate sports or industry or injury, he was there with words and music and the greatest of spirit–affirming affirmed our need for unity, solidarity, spirituality, respect, and love. He helped us “Stir it up,” “Put it on,” and “Rock it Baby.” He encouraged us to “Pass it on,” “Stand Alone,” and “Keep on Moving.” And as he passed the torch of human dignity in rebellion and in redemption, he taught us to realize, “Most people think/Great God will come from the skies/Take away everything/And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth/You will look for yours on earth…,” and that it is necessary, okay, probable, and imperative that we “Get up, stand up; stand up for [our] rights!”
