Shamari a.k.a. Shamari Fears was born in Detroit, MI. Shamari began cultivating her soulful voice at the tender age of three. When her family relocated to Atlanta, GA in the mid 1980's, Shamari poured herself into her music. During Middle and High School, Shamari began performing publicly. Shamari entered into her school's Talent Show and won 2nd place for her soulful rendition of Mariah Carey's "Hero". Shamari's Talent Show success led to the formation of her group Buutz (a country-urban female group). Ever enthusiastic and sure of success, Shamari proclaimed that she had a "deal". Soon after, Buutz disbanded and Shamari formed the urban female group Intrigue. During that time, Shamari met Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC, which resulted in the 1996 joining of Brandi D. Williams and Natina Reed, which together formed the sensational, multi-platinum R&B-Pop female group Blaque. As the collective protégé's of Lisa Lopes, Blaque soon began to flourish as the fresh new faces of R&B-Pop, resulting in an invitation for a cameo appearance in Lil' Kim's "Ladies Night" video. In 1997, Lisa Lopes flew with the group to NYC to meet with the Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Corporation, Thomas D. "Tommy" Mattola. Blaque gave an impromptu performance showcasing their sultry, soulful and innovative style resulting in an immediate contract with Columbia Records. For almost two years, Blaque worked meticulously on their self-titled debut album, releasing their first single "808" on March 23, 1999. "808" was an immediate success, reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and quickly was certified Platinum. With much public anticipation, on June 1, 1999 their self-titled debut album was released, which achieved domestic sales exceeding 1.5 million units, resulting in the outstanding accomplishment of being certified Platinum as well. Blaque also released their Billboard Hot 100 Chart topping single "Bring It All To Me" (featuring J.C. Chavez on N'Sync), which achieved it's peak position of #4 on the chart. The tremendous success of the LP led to two incredible domestic tours, first with N'Sync and then with TLC, followed by numerous Award Show Nominations and Winnings. In 2000, entranced by the girls' talent and energy, the production team of Bring It On cast them in supporting character roles in the Major Motion Picture, also starring Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst. Shamari starred as "Lava", a cheerleader from the Clover's squad. Bring It On, the first feature film Shamari starred in as an actress, enjoyed huge worldwide box office success, earning more than $68 Million in United States alone. The ladies were also requested to record the first single "As If" from the Bring It On Motion Picture Soundtrack. In November of the same year, Shamari and her Blaque counterparts were offered the prestigious honor, which they accepted, to appear in a cameo role on Pamela Anderson's worldwide hit TV show V.I.P., granting them the prestige of being one of only two musical guests ever requested to appear. In 2001, Blaque recorded their much anticipated Sophomore Album BlaqueOut. Additionally, Shamari was pursued by the world renowned R&B group Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD) to record as a feature vocalist on their Universal Records Album. Additionally, Shamari also completed her amazing year by recording, along with Blaque group member Brandi D. Williams, the track "Can't Trust Myself" for the Major Motion Picture On The Line starring Lance Bass and Joey Fatone on N'Sync. Much to the dismay of eager fans worldwide, Columbia Records agreed to release the ladies from further recording commitment rather than releasing Blaque's Sophomore Album. In 2003, Elektra Records quickly seized the opportunity to sign Blaque to their roster of Multi-Platinum Recording Artists. Enthralled by their vocal performance, Blaque was successfully pursued to record their hit single "I'm Good" for the Honey Motion Picture Soundtrack starring Jessica Alba. Hot on the tails of the successful Honey soundtrack single "I'm Good", Blaque members Shamari and Brandi D. Williams embarked overseas on a European Tour. Soon after, prior to the release of Blaque's third album Torch, the ladies elected to take a hiatus in order to pursue impending Solo Projects after the departure of Natina Reed as a Blaque group member due to the impending birth of her first born child. In 2004, Shamari signed a Solo Artist Recording Deal with Dark Child / Universal Records. Shamari is currently immersed in the creative process of recording her Solo Rock-Urban-Pop Debut Album, which is anticipated for worldwide release in 2006!- Michele B.

The heroine of a host of westerns, crimes and serial adventures during the 1940s, this attractive, full-faced "B" movie item was born Adele Pearce on August 6, 1915 (several movie resources list 1918). Born in Oakland, California, Pamela Blake won a beauty contest at age 17 and decided to try her luck in Hollywood soon after. The lovely brunette began with an unbilled part in 8 Girls in a Boat (1934) but then took some time off and returned to her hometown of Oakland to study acting. She eventually relocated back to the Los Angeles area and continued to apprentice in a succession of uncredited bit roles until earning her first lead opposite cowboy star Tex Ritter in Utah Trail (1938).
Billed as Adele Pearce, this breakthrough sparked a series of featured and co-starring roles. RKO director John Farrow guided her briefly in such programmers as Sorority House (1939) and Full Confession (1939), the latter starring Victor McLaglen and Barry Fitzgerald. The petite actress then appeared opposite a towering young John Wayne in Wyoming Outlaw (1939). This film, along with Full Confession (1939), also featured actor/stuntman 'Malcolm "Bud' McTaggart', who would become Pamela's first husband. The couple went on to appear as husband and wife in the exploitive and unsubtle programmer No Greater Sin (1941), which posed the dangers of venereal disease and the importance of hygiene. Their career struggles eventually damaged the marriage and the couple divorced within a few years. McTaggart tragically drowned in a Beverly Hills swimming pool in 1949 at the age of 39.
Following a small role in the Alfred Hitchcock hit comedy romance Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) with Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery, Pamela's best opportunity came at Paramount with the secondary femme role as a cleaning lady Annie in the film noir classic This Gun for Hire (1942) wherein she shares a notable face-slapping, dress-ripping scene with Alan Ladd's lethal hit man Philip Raven. At this point the actress's marquee name had been changed from Adele Pearce to Pamela Blake.
Pamela was subsequently signed by Metro and featured in the studio's comedy series' entries Maisie Gets Her Man (1942) and Swing Shift Maisie (1943) both starring Ann Sothern as the breezy title character. She was also romanced by co-star James Craig in the standard western The Omaha Trail (1942), and appeared here and there in other MGM pictures such as Slightly Dangerous (1943) starring Lana Turner and Kay Kyser's Swing Fever (1943). The actress failed, however, to rise above the studio's lower tier of stars, and was eventually dropped.
Elsewhere, Pamela was given the top-billed "Poverty Row" lead in the Republic crime mystery Three's a Crowd (1945); played the heroine in the dramatic Why Girls Leave Home (1945); and appeared in Captain Tugboat Annie (1945) with Jane Darwell taking over the vinegary title role. Moreover, she worked with Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall when they were The East Side Kids in Kid Dynamite (1943), and rejoined them when they became The Bowery Boys in their first venture Live Wires (1946).
The actress received extended visibility co-starring in a number of multi-chaptered cliffhangers, including Chick Carter, Detective (1946), The Sea Hound (1947), The Mysterious Mr. M (1946) and Ghost of Zorro (1949). She finished up the decade co-starring with Tom Neal in two crimes -- The Hat Box Mystery (1947) and The Case of the Baby Sitter (1947) -- and also played opposite Monte Hale in the western Son of God's Country (1948); Robert Lowery in the "B" noir Highway 13 (1948); and Richard Travis in the espionage tale Sky Liner (1949).
Into the next decade Pamela essayed the role of wife Anne Palooka opposite Joe Kirkwood Jr.'s Joe Palooka in Joe Palooka Meets Humphrey (1950) and played one of The Daltons' Women (1950) in the "B" western. She wound up her film career with the "Wild" Bill Elliott western Waco (1952). She broken into TV in the early 1950s and had already graced such westerns as "The Cisco Kid" and "The Range Rider" by the time she decided to retire in 1953.
Pamela and her family moved to Las Vegas and she retired completely from the limelight and never returned. Instead, she went on to raise her two children by second husband, writer/actor/producer Mike Stokey, who created the popular 1960s TV game show "Pantomime Quiz" (aka "Stump the Stars"). That union also ended up in the divorce courts. A third marriage in 1983 to John Canavan, an Air Force master sergeant, lasted until his death. One of her children, Mike Stokey Jr., was a Vietnam War combat veteran and demolition expert who became a technician and military advisor for such war films/epics as Born on the Fourth of July (1989), The Thin Red Line (1998), Alexander (2004) and Tropic Thunder (2008). Pamela passed away peacefully on October 6, 2009, at the ripe old age of 94, at a Las Vegas care facility.- Dawn Bradfield was born on 25 July 1970 in Ireland.

Con O'Neill is an English actor, primarily known for theatrical roles in musicals. In 1966, he was born in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. Weston-super-mare is located at the coast of the Bristol Channel, an inlet which separates South Wales from the English counties of Devon and Somerset. The town has been a popular holiday destination since the 19th century, though its tourism industry has experienced a decline since the 1970s.
O'Neill started his acting career at the Everyman Theatre of Liverpool. The theatre opened in 1964, using the Victorian-era main building of the former church of Saint John the Evangelist. O'Neill appeared regularly in theatrical productions during the 1980s, while also cast in small roles in various television series.
In 1988, O'Neill won the "Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical", for his role as Michael "Mickey" Johnstone in the musical "Blood Brothers" by Willy Russell (1947-). The play concerns two fraternal twins (Mickey Johnstone and Edward 'Eddie' Lyons) who were separated at birth, were raised by different families, and belonged to different social classes. Their chance encounters in life start in attempts at friendship and eventually result in the deaths of both brothers. O'Neil later played the same role in Broadway productions of the musical, and was nominated for the "Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical" in 1993. The award for that year was instead won by Canadian actor Brent Carver (1951-).
In 1990, O'Neill had his first film role, playing the role of Peter McGeghan in "Dancin' Thru the Dark". The film was an adaptation of another play by Willy Russell, "Stags and Hens". The play was set in a 1970s nightclub, where a working-class woman is depicted celebrating her hen night (bachelorette party). She is presented with an unexpected choice between marrying her betrothed (known by the nickname "Dickhead") or resuming her romantic relationship with Peter, her ex-boyfriend who is a professional musician.
In the 1990s, O'Neill had his first recurring role in a television series, playing the character Nick in the comedy-drama series "Moving Story" (1994-1995). The series concerned a group of workers hired to transfer furniture from one house to another, and their work-related problems.
In 1998, O'Neill had the role of Terry in the comedy-drama film "Bedrooms and Hallways". In the film Terry is a young man who feels envious of the same-sex relationship between his friends, Brendan (a bisexual Irishman) and Leo (an "openly gay" Englishman, who actually still feels attracted to his former girlfriend). While Terry eventually has a fistfight with Brendan over an argument at a birthday party, he starts dating Brendan shortly after their fight.
In 1999, O' Neill played the role of Troy Fenton in the neo-noir film "The Last Seduction II". In the film, Troy secretly runs a phone sex line in Barcelona, Spain and recruits recent acquaintance Bridget Gregory (played by Joan Severance) to help him.

O'Neill had the recurring role of Kenny Fletcher in the first season of the medical drama series "Always and Everyone" (1999-2002). The series was set at Accident and Emergency department of Saint Victor's city hospital in Manchester. Kenny was depicted as the husband of the protagonist, Dr. Christine Fletcher (played by Niamh Cusack). During the first episode, Christine learns that her husband was involved in serious road traffic accident, and starts suspecting that he has been lying to her about his activities while she works. By the end of the season, Christine asks for a divorce.
O'Neill also had the recurring role of Jo in the second season of the drama series "Real Women" (1998-1999) and its sequel, "Real Women II". The premise of the series was that five female friends gather for a reunion, and open up about the problems of their personal and professional lives.

In 2013, O'Neill played the role of the apostle Paul of Tarsus in the mini-series "The Bible". The series adapted various tales from both the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

The series was nominated for a "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series", but the award was instead won by a television version of the film "Behind the Candelabra", which depicted the life of the famous pianist Liberace (1919-1987).
In 2014, O'Neill voiced the character Titchy Gren in the video game "Dark Souls II".

Titchy Gren is depicted as an overseer of the cult-religion Brotherhood of Blood, and as a servant of the war god Nahr Alma. Gren's purpose is to ensure war and bloodshed sufficient to please his deity, and to recruit new members for his cult. While capable of fighting in his own right, Titchy Gren is depicted as a mediocre fighter and can be killed when outright attacking players.He can be resurrected with a sufficient offering of stolen souls at his gravestone.

Ian Petrella started his acting career at the age of three, a suggestion by an Aunt who worked at the Herb Tannen Talent Agency. Ian was presented a contract and a S.A.G. card after his very first audition. Through the years he appeared in numerous television commercials and T.V. shows. In 1983 Ian landed the part of Randy Parker in the now classic holiday film "A Christmas Story". It wouldn't be till later in his career when Ian would receive any kind of recognition for the role, but it was this film that put him into the hearts of millions.
Through his teen years Ian continued acting, and later began to study comedy improv. He trained at L.A's famous Groundlings Comedy Theater. At age 17 he was the youngest person ever to audition, and be accepted to attend classes. Performing for small audiences around L.A. Ian earned his comedy chops. Acting wasn't enough for Ian's creative juices; he wanted to explore more avenues of the entertainment business. He got a small gig as a P.A. on a new puppet show. Ian discovered that he was pretty good with puppets and that begin his career as a puppeteer. This landed him a few gigs on Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and a great opportunity to work on a Jim Henson project.
After the millennium the work seemed to slow down and Ian quit acting and show business altogether. He turned in his S.A.G. card for a passport and left for Europe. During his six-month escape, Ian got a chance to study and learn the art of marionette puppetry in the Czech Republic.
Ian decided it was time to come home, not to L.A., but to San Francisco, where he studied film and performed puppetry independently for film and stage. While in school Ian discovered animation. This was good discovery since Ian was running out of money to perform and make puppets. Ian still continues his passion with cartooning to this day.
As destiny would have it, Ian received a call from a gentleman inviting him to the 20th anniversary of "A Christmas Story". Rekindling with cast member and friends from his past, prompted Ian to give Hollywood another shot. With a new spark of inspiration to get his name back in the spot light, Ian could once again re-light a fire that he thought died out a long time ago.
Settling back in Los Angeles CA., Ian co-founded a production company creating web content and producing various animated shorts. Today Ian continues to tour and make appearances during the holiday season along with the rest of the cast of "A Christmas Story", bringing back fond memories to thousands of fans old and new.- Producer
