دلفي

با سلام

Microsoft Agent يكي از سرگرم كننده ترين فن آوريهاي Microsoft مي باشد كه تا كنون توانسته بسيار مورد علاقه كاربران قرار بگيرد. Agentها به برنامه هاي شما جذابيت زيادي مي دهند و امكان ارتباط بهتر و جالبتري را با كاربر ايجاد ميكنند. در اينجا من مي خواهم شما را با Microsoft Agent و طريقه بكار گيري آن در برنامه هاي خودتان را آموزش بدهم كه اميدوارم مفيد باشد. از آنجايي كه من اين امكان را در دلفي استفاده كرده ام براي شما هم مثالهاي دلفي آورده ام ...

اولين باري كه از اين تكنولوژي استفاده شد در برنامه Office 97 بود كه خيلي مورد علاقه كاربران قرار گرفت. من اون موقع خيلي گشتم تا بتونم از اين امكان استفاده كنم ولي خوب نتونستم ): اما بعد ها با پيشرفت كردن علم برنامه نويسي و همچنين با پيشرفت كردن عقل Microsoft (كه از نظر من بزرگترين كلاه بردار قرن هست) اين تكنولوژي در اختيار ديگران هم قرار گرفت... براي همين در اوايل فقط در Office بود كه از اين امكان استفاده مي شد.

حالا اينا رو گفتم اما ببينيم اصلاً Agent چي هست؟؟!!!

شما اگه از Office استفاده ميكنيد حالا هر كدوم از برنامه هاش كه باشه (Word,Excel,FrontPage,...) يك شكلكي رو ميبينيد كه هميشه نسبت به كارهايي كه انجام ميدين يك سري حركات از خودش نشون ميده كه هم سرگرم كننده هست هم آموزنده. حالا حتماً متوجه شدين كه در مورد چي صحبت ميكنيم (هر چند كه ميدونم ميدونستيد (; ) خوب حالا مي خواهيم ببينيم كه چطور ميشه از اين امكان تو برنامه هاي خودمون استفاده كنيم مثلاً وقتي برنامه داره كار ميكنه يه شكلكي بياد براي كاربر ادا در بياره تا طرف نفهمه كه برنامه چيكار ميكنه (: يا مثلا موقع ذخيره كردن و بازيابي كردن و يا جستجو و ... يك سري حركات مربوط به آن عمل انجام بده...

اينكار خيلي ساده است و فقط كافي هست شما يك Agent رو انتخاب كنيد و در برنامتون تعريفش كنيد و بعد هر كاري كه خواستين رو بهش دستور بدين تا براتون انجام بده . ضمنا شما لازم نيست اصلاً غصه درست كار كردن اون رو بخورين چون خود Windows اونو كنترل ميكنه كه يه وقت كار بدي نكنه ((:

شما نميتونيد كه Agent رو داخل يك جعبه مكالمه (Dialog Box) قرار بدين و فقط ميتونيد جاي اوليه اون رو انتخاب كنيد بعد نمايش بدين و كاربر ميتونه اونو به دلخواه خود تغيير مكان بده با Drag كردن اينكار رو انجام ميده. خوب حالا براي شروع كار به يك سري Agent نياز داريم كه البته همراه ويندوز هميشه يك سري همراه هستند بهترين اونها كه ميتونه كارهاي زيادي انجام بده (منظور حالتهاي زيادي براش تعريف شده) Merlin هست كه يك جادوگر پير مي باشد. براي Download كردن اينها ميتونيد به سايتهايي كه معرفي ميكنم يك سري بزنيد. ضمناً شما خودتون هم ميتونيد يك Agent طراحي بكنيد كه براي اينكار بايد از يك سري نرم افزار استفاده كنيد.

براي اينكه كاربر بتونه از Agent برنامه شما استفاده كنه بايد حتماً Microsoft Agent Server‌ رو نصب كنه. كه البته من تا حالا تو هر ويندوزي كه برنامم رو اجرا كردم نصب شده بوده فكر كنم اين برنامه همراه خود ويندوز هست (; ولي اگه نبود شما ميتونيد يك سري به آدرس زير بزنيد اونجا چيزهاي جالبي در اين مورد داره كه يك مطالعه كنيد بد نيست.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/i...nt/defualt.asp

در اين آدرس اخرين باري كه رفتم مطالب زير بود حالا اگه تا حالا بيلي جون حوصله اش از اونا سر نرفته باشه و عوض نكرده باشد بايد باشه:

- The Agent Server

- The Characters/Agents

- A Text-to-Speech pices

- A Voice command (input) pices

اين مطالب تحت عنوان Microsoft Agent Software Development Kit هست كه در اونجا شما همچنين ميتونيد نرم افزار Microsoft Agent Character Editor رو براي درست كردن Agent دريافت كنيد. در اين مقاله ما در مورد Voice Command‌ (فرمان هاي صوتي) و طراحي Agent صحبت نميكنيم و فقط طرز استفاده از اين امكان رو شرح ميدم كه خودتون بعداً ميتونيد در موردش بيشتر جستجو كنيد. ما براي كارمون فقط احتياج به Agent Server و يك كاراكتر داريم كه اگه روي ويندوزتون ندارين ميتونيد از اينجا Download بكنيد.

خوب حالا ميريم سر اصل مطلب:

بعد از اينكه مطمئن شدين روي ويندوزتون AgentServer رو دارين دلفي رو اجرا كنيد و مراحل زير رو مو به مو انجام بدين:

1- Component|Import ActiveX Control رو انتخاب كنيد.

2- Microsoft Agent Control رو از تو ليست پيدا كنيد و رو ي دكمه Install كليك كنيد.

3- خوب حالا بايد تو قسمت ActiveX يك آيكوني شبيه به MenInBlack داشته باشيد.

خوب تا يادم نرفته اينو بگم كه براي پيدا كردن يك كاراكتر روي ويندوزتون بايد براي acs.* جستجو كنيد كه البته به طور عادي اگر Agent Server نصب باشه توي شاخه Windows يك msagent بايد وجود داشته باشه و داخل اون هم يك شاخه ديگه به نام Char هم هست كه توش يك يا چند كاراكتر وجود داره كه اگر از XP استفاده ميكنيد حتماً يكيش Merlin.acs هست (كه من خيلي بهش علاقه دارم (: ) براي همين ما بايد تو برنامه مون چك كنيم كه آيا اين شاخه وجود داره يا نه اگه وجود داشت ميدونيم كه Agent Server روي ويندوز كاربر نصب هست و ما مي تونيم از Agent استفاده كنيم .

خوب براي اينكار بايد اول ActiveX رو به روي فرم منتقل كنيم با اينكار يك type با نام TAgent به تعاريف فرم اضافه ميشه . بعد بايد يك متغيير تعريف كنيم كه از نوع Boolean باشه تا با اون چك كنيم كه آيا Agent Server نصب هست يا نه براي اينكار ميشه از Code زير استفاده كرد:

TYourObject
private
AgentInstalled: Boolean;
function AgentIsInstalled: Boolean;
procedure CreateAndLoadAgentIfInstalled;
function GetColorDepth: Word;
function GetWinDir: String;
procedure SetFormColor;
function AgentWasClicked

شما ميتونيد روي ويندوز كاربر به دنبال اون شاخه و كاراكتري كه مي خواهيد از او استفاد هكنيد بگرديد و اگه بود كار رو باهاش شروع كنيد اگه هم نبود خوب ديگه كاربر بايد محيط خشك برنامتون رو تحمل كنه (;

حالا مثلاً ما مي خواهيم از Merlin استفاده كنيم :

{-----------------------------------------------}

;function TYourObject.AgentIsInstalled: Boolean
begin

;( 'Result := (FileSearch('Merlin.acs

((<>''Format('%s\MSAGENT\CHARS', [GetWinDir]))

;end

{-----------------------------------------------}

;function TYourObject.GetWinDir : string

var

;WinDirZ : array[0..256] of Char

begin

;(( GetWindowsDirectory(WinDirZ, SizeOf(WinDirZ

;( Result := StrPas(WinDirZ

;end

نكته : در بالا براي بدست آوردن نام شاخه اي كه ويندوز در آن نصب هست از API استفاده شده كه مسير كامل ويندوز را به ما ميدهد.

حال كه فهميديم كاربر امكان استفاده از Agent رو داره مي تونيم كار رو شروع كنيم. در ادامه بايد يك Object براي Agent خودمون بسازيم تا از اين به بعد از اون استفاده كنيم و مجبور نباشيم از ActiveX استفاده كنيم. براي اينكار از كد زير ميشه استفاده كرد:

implementation

uses
,AgentDemoConsts
,Registry

;OLECtrls, AgentObjects_TLB

{-----------------------------------------------}
procedure
;TYourObject.CreateAndLoadAgentIfInstalled
const
;RightBias = 80

;TopBias = 70
var
;tp: TPoint

begin
if (AgentInstalled) and
not (Assigned(RobotAgent)) then begin
;( RobotAgent := TAgent.Create(Application
;( 'RobotAgent.Characters.Load('Merlin','Merlin.acs
{ Move the Agent to the center of the screen }
;( tp.x := (Screen.Width div 2)-(Width div 2
;( tp.y := (Screen.Height div 2)-(Height div 2
with RobotAgent.Characters.Item['Merlin'] do begin
;( MoveTo(tp.x+RightBias, tp.y+TopBias, 0
;(Show(0
;('Play('Greet
;('Play('Explain
;(",Speak(SDemoIntro
;('Play('Pleased
;('Play('RestPose
;(",Speak(SWhisper
;(",Speak(SMonotone
;(",Speak(SMap
;end
;end
;end

چند خط اول كه مشخص هست چه كار ميكنه . اما بعد از اينكه كاراكتر تعريف شد (RobotAgent) اونو به Merlin نسبت ميديم وبعد هم اونو به وسط صفحه نمايش منتقل ميكنيم و حالا ميرسيم به مهمترين قسمت كار كه دستور دهي به Merlin هست.

با استفاده از Play شما ميتونيد به Agent دستور بدين اما براي هر Agnet دستورات متفاوت هست يعني ممكن هست كه دستوارتي كه براي Merlin كار ميكنه براي Robby (كه يكي ديگر از Agent ها هست) كار نكنه. شما اگه كاراكترتون رو خودتون درست ميكنيد خوب پس ليست دستوراتش رو داريد اما اگه اونو از جايي Download ميكنيد حتما ليست دستوارتش هم همراش هست مثلا شما ميتونيد در مورد Merlinو يا Robby و يا چند Agent ديگه از تو همون آدرسي كه در بالا دادم ليست دستوارتش رو بگيريد.

حالا در كد بالا ميبينيد كه در ابتدا از دستور Show استفاده شده اين دستور براي به نمايش در آوردن Agent هست و در تمامي آنها كار ميكنه . بعد با استفاده از Play كارهاي مورد نظرمون رو به Agent‌ ميگيم. مثلاً من در ابتدا با استفاده از دستور Greet از Agent خواستم كه سلام كنه و بعد هم با استفاده از Explain خواستم كه شروع كنه به گفتن يك سري مطالب كه با دستور Speak اونها رو كه در متغيير SDemoIntro قرار داده ام به صورت يك بالون كه بالاي سرش باز ميشه ميگه. شما براي اينكه بگين مطالب رو با چه حالتهايي بخونه مي تونيد از دستواراتي كه در جدول زير آوردم استفاده كنيد:

Addition
Resulting capability

\Chr="Whisper"\
The Agent will whisper the following text.

\Pau=N\
The Agent will pause for the designated number of milliseconds.

\Emp\
The Agent will give special emphasis to the following phrase.

\Chr="Montone"\
The Agent will emphasize nothing at all.

\Map=
.The Agent will say one thing, and = "think" another

خوب حالا براي اينكه بيشتر متوجه بشين در زير يك سري مثال آوردم كه ميتونيد اونها رو در برنامه استفاده كنيد و نقش هر كدوم از دستوارت رو ببينيد:

SFuzzyWuzzy = 'Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear;\Pau=500\ ' +

'fuzzy wuzzy had no hair;\Pau=500\ ' +

'fuzzy wuzzy wasn't very \Emp\fuzzy, \Emp\was he?';

SWhisper = '\Chr="Whisper"\Now I will whisper: ' +

'Whisper whisper whisper.';

SMonotone = '\Chr="Monotone"\Now I will speak in a ' +

'monotone. Pat Paulsen for President.';

SMap = '\Map="I will now continue to speak in ' +

'English, but you will see my words ' +

'translated into German in the balloon above ' +

'my head. How are you today? I am just ' +

'\Emp\dandy!"="Jetzt werde ich zwar immer ' +

'noch in Englisch reden, sie werden ' +

'aber meine Woerte im Balloon obenauf ins ' +

'Deutsch uebersetzt sehen. Wie geht es ' +

'Ihnen heute? Mir geht es ganz gut!"\';

خوب ديگه همين بود تمام ماجرا حالا شما اگه مي خواهين بيشتر در اين مورد كار كنيد من در مقالات بعدي يكي سري سايت و مطلب ديگه هم براتون ميزارم البته به زبون اصلي خودشون حتماً خيلي مفيد خواهد بود.

ضمنا شما ميتونيد از Event ها هم در Agent استفاده كنيد و مثلا براي رويداد OnClick روي Agent‌ يك چيزي تعريف كنيد.

خوب در آخر از شما كه تا اينجا آمديد متشكرم و يك سري نكات رو هم بايد ذكر كنم :

1- اين مطالب حاصل تجربه خودم و همچنين برگرفته از يك سري مقالاتي بوده كه در اين مورد مطالعه كردم.

2- در مورد استفاده از اين كدهايي كه در اين مقاله آورده ام و همچنين در پايان اين مقاله ضميمه كرده ام هيچ گونه مسئوليتي بعهده من نخواهد بود كه درست كار كنه يا بزنه كامپيوتر شما رو بسوزونه !!!!!

3- استفاده از اين مقاله به شرط ذكرنام و آدرس اصلي مقاله در سايتها و جاهاي ديگر آزاد است .

4- اگه در اين مورد نظري دارين يا حتماً براي من ايميل كنيد خوشحال خواهم شد بشنوم.

Will Smith
(1969 - )

AKA: The Fresh Prince
Occupation: Actor, singer
Also: Lyricist
Born: 1969, Philadelphia, PA
Education: Overbrook High School
A charismatic African-American rap star and actor of film and TV and half of the Grammy-winning duo D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Smith made his acting debut in his own TV series, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (NBC, 1991-96). As a nice, streetwise kid from the Philadelphia 'hood adjusting to culture shock in moneyed Bel Air, Smith offered a squeaky clean image of hip-hop culture which proved nonthreatening to primetime values. With his enhanced image as a role model, Smith became a regular face on TV in youth-oriented specials and public affairs programs and, in the show's final (1995-96) season, became its executive producer. He has parlayed his hit series into a feature acting career, debuting in a drama about teenage runaways entitled WHERE THE DAY TAKES YOU (1992). Smith followed up with a supporting role in MADE IN AMERICA (1993) with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson.
Smith's first lead in features was a dramatic stretch for the young performer. In the film version of John Guare's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION (1993), he played a young gay hustler and con man who ingratiates himself with an affluent white couple (Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland) by posing as the son of Sidney Poitier and a friend of their children who are away at college. The demanding role required Smith to work with an acting coach and a dialect coach three times a week for three months prior to rehearsals. The part also called for a homosexual kiss that, even after being paid, he refused to film. Smith garnered largely impressive notices for his portrayal amidst a cast of seasoned acting pros. After this acclaim, Smith joined fellow sitcom star Martin Lawrence in BAD BOYS (1995), turning their lot over to the hands of veteran action-comedy producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. In the film, Smith was Mike Lowery, a wild bachelor cop, and Lawrence was his partner, a family man. The duo have to switch places to nab a heroin ring. Made for a modest budget, BAD BOYS grossed $65 million domestically and twice that with foreign distribution included. Smith's quote for work in feature films skyrocketed past $5 million. Although by the time he was 20 Smith had made and spent more than $1 million and was deeply in debt to the IRS, he had settled down by age 27 and was focused on his career goals. After BAD BOYS, his feature film dance card became full. He made a cameo appearance in Lawrence's A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE and co-starred with Harry Connick, Jr. as a military officer trying to save the US from an alien invasion in INDEPENDENCE DAY (both 1996).

Harrison Ford
(1942 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born: July 13, 1942, Chicago, IL
Education: Ripon College, WI
Leading man whose craggy features and powerful physical presence enhanced some of Hollywood's most successful blockbusters of the 1970s and 80s. Ford shot to fame as arrogant space pilot Han Solo in the first installment of George Lucas's STAR WARS series, and established himself as a leading international star with his role as the archeologist hero of Steven Spielberg's INDIANA JONES chronicles. He earned a place in the hearts of cult movie audiences playing the cynical, robot-killing cop in BLADE RUNNER (1982) and proved capable of a wider emotional range with fine performances in WITNESS (1985) and PRESUMED INNOCENT (1990).

Anthony Hopkins
(1937 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born As: Phillip Anthony Hopkins
Born: December 31, 1937, Port Talbot, South Wales
Education: Cowbridge Grammar School, Glamorgan, Wales; Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff, Wales; Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, London, England
Often called the successor to fellow Welsh actor Richard Burton, Hopkins was a celebrated stage actor (with notable National Theater credits in the 1960s) before making an auspicious film debut in THE LION IN WINTER (1968), as the scheming Richard the Lionheart.
Hopkins won several awards for his 1975 Broadway debut in Equus, playing a psychiatrist who questions the meaning of his own life when he treats a passionate, disturbed young man who has blinded several horses. Ironically, Burton succeeded Hopkins in the Broadway production and starred in the film version.
Hopkins has played volatile, obsessed characters (the ventriloquist in MAGIC 1978; Captain Bligh in THE BOUNTY 1984), as well as quietly repressed, mild-mannered types (Bruno Hauptmann, the accused kipnapper of the Lindbergh baby, in the excellent 1976 TV-movie, THE LINDBERGH KIDNAPPING CASE; the quiet London bookseller in 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD 1986; the all-too-perfect butler in THE REMAINS OF THE DAY 1993). He made an indelible impression, and broadened his audience considerably, as Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, the brilliant, cultivated serial killer at the center of Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) which brought him the Best Actor Oscar.
Hopkins followed up with an enjoyable turn as Dr. Van Helsing in Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) and a barnstorming performance as the stricken father in the Western epic, LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1995) before tackling the 37th President of the US in Oliver Stone's controversial and Shakespearean NIXON (1995). Hopkins directed and starred in AUGUST (1996), an adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. He segued to another biopic, portraying the temperamental Spanish painter Pablo Picasso in James Ivory's SURVIVING PICASSO (1996).

Dennis Hopper
(1936 - )

Occupation: Actor, director
Also: Screenwriter, photographer
Born: May 17, 1936, Dodge City, KS
Education: Old Globe Theatre, San Diego, CA; Actors Studio
Dennis Hopper's career has been a process of self-mythification since his first screen appearance in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955). His search for a cause has preoccupied him ever since, through various phases as an actor, director, writer and photographer.
Because REBEL became a clarion call for a generation about to revolt against middle-class American respectability, Hopper himself came to symbolize that revolution, particularly as other actors associated with REBEL died. (By 1981, Hopper was the lone survivor of the film's leading players.) His early acting career often cast him in secondary roles, playing sensitive young men, as in GIANT (1956) and a spate of westerns. His intuitive, improvisatory approach was at odds with many old-time Hollywood professionals; during the making of FROM HELL TO TEXAS (1958), director Henry Hathaway and Hopper reportedly battled through over 100 takes, an infamous incident that Hopper claimed relegated him to B-movie roles for years.
Hopper's anti-Establishment reputation took an ironic turn with his direction of EASY RIDER (1969), a road movie on motorcycles through reactionary America, a trip in more than one sense—the film featured a notorious psychedelic sequence, shot in a cemetery in New Orleans. Hailed by critics, feted at the Cannes Film Festival as a major new filmmaker, Hopper also found success at home when the movie was a box-office smash.
The Hopper self-mythification ascended through a documentary self-portrait called THE AMERICAN DREAMER (1971) and reached a culmination of sorts in THE LAST MOVIE (1971), his free-form film, shot in Peru, about a movie crew making a western among natives who decide to ape them with real bullets. The film's pretensions were deemed ludicrous, and Hopper was virtually abandoned by critics and other filmmakers.
For the next 15 years Hopper acted mostly in films shot outside the US, where audiences remained loyal to his impervious, impenetrable American swagger. Among his credits were MAD DOG (1976), filmed in Australia; RESURRECTION (1979), in Spain; THE AMERICAN FRIEND (1977) and WHITE STAR (1981), in West Germany; COULEUR CHAIR (1977), THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICES (1977) and L'ORDRE ET LA SÉCURITÉ DU MONDE (1978) in France. While acting in OUT OF THE BLUE (1980), a Canadian film shot in the US, he took over direction of the film in mid-production. By the early 80s, his drug habits and erratic behavior had virtually sent him into exile, although he reveled in the role of the ugly American. His character in APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)—a flipped-out, camera-obsessed journalist—only served to reinforce his reputation.
Hopper had in the meanwhile become an accomplished photographer, and he began showing his work in galleries. The breadth of his experience, combined with his bizarre point of view, made his work a unique record of an absurd popular culture, even as he became increasingly vocal about straightening out his personal life.
Hopper's comeback began with his unnerving appearance in BLUE VELVET (1986). Director David Lynch vociferously defended Hopper's talent against accusations of typecasting, although a follow-up film, RIVER'S EDGE (1986), again featured Hopper as an insane derelict. Still, his rehabilitation seemed complete with his successful direction of COLORS (1988), a drama about LA gang wars, followed by THE HOT SPOT (1990).

Tom Cruise
(1962 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born As: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV
Born: July 3, 1962, Syracuse, NY
Engaging teen lead turned adult Hollywood superstar of the 1980s and 90s, easily the most powerful star of his generation. Cruise first registered in a showy supporting role as a lunatic cadet in TAPS (1981). He then made a name for himself with the superior teen sex satire, RISKY BUSINESS (1983). As an anxious, affluent, suburban teen poised on the brink of college, Cruise created a resonant protagonist for young Reagan-era audiences. The athletic performer put on some extra pounds to emphasize the softness and vulnerability of the character. In a star-making scene, Cruise, clad in a button-down shirt, Jockey briefs, and cool shades, plays air guitar and dances wildly to Bob Seger's anthem, "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll." This celebrated sequence may provide the key to the actor's subsequent mega-success: He is an attractive but fairly regular guy to whom audiences can easily relate.
Cruise went on to perform well in ALL THE RIGHT MOVES (1983), a sober high school football drama that fared modestly at the box office. He next grew his hair long and made the wrong move with Ridley Scott's colossal fantasy flop, LEGEND (1985). Cruise solidified his star status with one of the signature hits of the 80s, TOP GUN (1986). Defiantly politically incorrect, with flying sequences edited to the rhythms of pop tunes, the film functioned as both Navy recruiting ad and glossy romantic adventure. No longer the engaging boy-next-door, Cruise's Maverick was a cocky go-getter armed with a killer smile. He would play variations on this role in several subsequent films—particularly the less ambitious ones (e.g., COCKTAIL, 1988 and DAYS OF THUNDER, 1990).
Cruise offered a richer characterization of the arrogant young man with talent opposite Paul Newman in Martin Scorsese's THE COLOR OF MONEY (1986). He has since consolidated his serious dramatic credentials with RAIN MAN (1988), in which he held his own opposite Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman, and Oliver Stone's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989), which earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his hard-hitting portrayal of anti-war activist Ron Kovic. Cruise stumbled a bit with the critically and commercially disappointing FAR AND AWAY (1992), a goofy period romance co-starring his wife Nicole Kidman, but he followed up with a highly popular court-martial drama, A FEW GOOD MEN (1992), wherein he matched wits with Jack Nicholson. He played a lawyer again in the thriller THE FIRM (1993) with comparably successful results.

Marlon Brando
(1924 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Producer, director
Born As: Marlon Brando, Jr.
Born: April 3, 1924, Omaha, NE
Education: Shattuck Military School; Dramatic Workshop of the New School for Social Research; Actors Studio
An influential, eccentric stage and screen actor, Marlon Brando first made his name as an exponent of 'The Method', an acting style based on the teachings of Constantin Stanislavsky. Method acting rejected the traditional techniques of stagecraft in favor of an emotional expressiveness ideally suited to the angst-ridden atmosphere of postwar American society. Brando studied the Stanislavsky technique in the 1940s, first at the New School and later at the Actors Studio.
The Nebraska native made his Broadway debut in the sentimental hit I Remember Mama (1944), and co-starred opposite Katharine Cornell in Candida (1946) and briefly toured with Tallulah Bankhead in The Eagle Has Two Heads the same year. His breakthrough came with his searing portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), directed by Elia Kazan. The role established a new order of acting intensity and eventually led Brando to Hollywood. He also made his first TV appearance during this period, on a 1949 episode of "Actors Studio" (ABC). Brando's only other contributions to TV have been a ten-minute, Emmy-winning cameo as American Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell in ROOTS: THE NEXT GENERATION (ABC, 1979) and a 1991 PBS special on the Actors Studio.
Implementing what he learned under Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, Brando has influenced American film actors from James Dean to Robert De Niro to River Phoenix. As the unappointed spokesman for his generation, the young Brando became identified with a character in revolt against something he could not comprehend. When asked in THE WILD ONE (1954), "What are you rebelling against?" he replies, "Whaddaya got?" Although Brando's rebels conveyed a strong sense of danger, the actor has also lent a pathos to their stance, leaving his characters both menacing and vulnerable. Since he had became synonymous with these types, Brando has spent most of his career trying to purge himself of this initial identification.
Brando's first film was Fred Zinnemann's THE MEN (1950), in which he portrayed a paraplegic war veteran struggling for dignity. Rather than play the role for its inherent pathos, however, Brando etched a portrait of an embittered, incoherent man-child. Kazan's film version of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1951) followed, forever stamping the Brando image in the public imagination and making him one of the first actors of the "new generation" to break through to stardom, before Dean, Newman and Hudson. He followed up with impressive, very individualistic performances as a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA! (1952) and as Marc Anthony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's adaptation of Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR (1953).
Brando's film heft was affirmed with THE WILD ONE (1954), a motorcycle melodrama, which also helped make the black motorcycle jacket the uniform of the young tough (or young tough wanna-be). The Stanley Kowalski brute was now removed from Tennessee Williams' confining New Orleans ghetto, his anger directed scattershot against society at large. Brando won a Best Actor Oscar for his multi-layered performance as an ex-fighter who becomes involved with corrupt union officials and witnesses a murder in Kazan's powerful ON THE WATERFRONT (1954). With this success, Brando became a full-fledged Hollywood power. He played against type in a number of subsequent roles: an ill-tempered Napoleon in DESIREE (1954); a smarmy singing gambler in GUYS AND DOLLS (1955); the Japanese interpreter in THE TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON (1956); a Korean War pilot in love with a Japanese entertainer in Joshua Logan's SAYONARA (1957) and a controversially effete Fletcher Christian in the remake of MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962). He even tried his hand behind the camera, assuming directing chores from Stanley Kubrick on ONE-EYED JACKS (1961), a psychological Western that pitted him against Karl Malden. Despite all his efforts, his rebel persona had nevertheless become a cliché by the end of the decade. Actor-impressionist Frank Gorshin performed a devastating send-up of it in 1960's BELLS ARE RINGING, and Brando was frequently parodied on TV shows from "The Flintstones" to "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
Brando finally killed his rebel image in the 1960s. He appeared as a drifter romancing an middle-aged Italian woman (Anna Magnani) and a Southern belle (Joanne Woodward) in Sidney Lumet's uneven THE FUGITIVE KIND (1960), an adaptation of Tennessee Williams' stage play Orpheus Descending. Brando went on to appear as a figure of authority in THE UGLY AMERICAN (1963) and parodied himself in BEDTIME STORY (1964). But despite complex performances in John Huston's REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE (1967) and BURN! (1969), he had been largely abandoned by his audience. Voted a top box office star from 1955 to 1958, he dropped to a has-been in the late 1960s.
It was not until Francis Ford Coppola cast him in the title role of THE GODFATHER (1972) that he regained stature. Brando's sensitive turn as the aging Don Corleone won critical praise, set the tone for the entire film and won him a second Best Actor Oscar. He gave a bizarre, controversial, and semi-nude performance as a self-destructive American in Bertolucci's disturbing LAST TANGO IN PARIS (1973). Since then, Brando has repeatedly announced his retirement from acting, but has made more than a dozen films.
In Arthur Penn's THE MISSOURI BREAKS (1976), Brando offered an eccentric, over-the-top performance as a hired gun tracking horse thief Jack Nicholson. He followed with a very highly-paid and brief cameo as Jor-El, father of SUPERMAN (1978). He was downright terrifying as the dark heart of Coppola's hallucinogenic war drama APOCALYPSE NOW (1979), and earned a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his engaging performance as a crusty South African civil rights lawyer in Euzhan Palcy's A DRY WHITE SEASON (1989). Brando won good notices for his comic send-up of Don Corleone in THE FRESHMAN (1990) and for his turn as a psychiatrist married to Faye Dunaway in DON JUAN DEMARCO (1995). He appears as the mysterious scientist who creates half-humans in John Frankenheimer's remake of THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU.
Far from the athletic figure he cut in his youth, Brando has ballooned to enormous girth and at one time lived a reclusive existence on the Tahitian island he purchased after filming MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY. His eccentric lifestyle, though, has kept him in the press: his (at least) nine children by various wives and companions; his 1972 Oscar refusal delivered by a faux Native Indian; the killing of daughter Cheyenne's fiance by son Christian; and Cheyenne's suicide. Brando co-authored his autobiography Songs My Mother Taught Me which was published in 1994. He has traveled a long way from his native Nebraskan farmland and his life has become more bizarre than any film plot.

Tom Hanks
(1956 - )

AKA: Thom Hanks
Occupation: Actor
Also: Director
Born As: Thomas J. Hanks
Born: July 9, 1956, Concord, CA
Education: Skyline High School, Oakland, CA; Chabot Junior College; California State University, Sacramento
A genial, blandly attractive actor, Hanks has proven equally adept at comedy and drama and in the 1990s has emerged as one of Hollywood's most acclaimed and best-loved performers. Raised by his father, a cook, Hanks spent most of his formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area. He began acting in high school and dropped out of college in 1977 to intern with the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in Cleveland, OH. Hanks stayed for three seasons before moving East and making his New York debut as Grumio in The Taming of the Shrew at the Riverside Theater. Mainstream exposure came with his casting as Kip/Buffy Wilson opposite Peter Scolari in the sitcom "Bosom Buddies" (ABC, 1980-82), about a pair of slippery, wisecracking ad men forced to cross-dress in order to keep a cheap apartment in a NYC women's hotel.
Hanks found immediate stardom with his first leading movie role, opposite a be-finned Daryl Hannah in Ron Howard's mermaid comedy, SPLASH (1984). The funny, if relentlessly sophomoric BACHELOR PARTY (1984) was followed by a handful of misfires, including THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE (1985), VOLUNTEERS (1985), and THE MONEY PIT (1986). In 1988, Hanks displayed his versatility with two acclaimed performances: the volatile, caustic, ambitious, yet talented stand-up comedian in PUNCHLINE and as a teenager trapped in the body of a 35 year old man in Penny Marshall's BIG. The latter role, which earned Hanks an Oscar nomination as Best Actor, capitalized on his youthful charm, though it also fixed him—perhaps permanently—with the label "boyish."
Hanks's post-BIG attempts to play against type have met with mixed results. His casting as Wall Street heavyweight Sherman McCoy was considered one of the crucial misjudgments that scuttled Brian DePalma's adaptation of BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES (1990). Another attempt to shed his nice-guy image, in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992, also directed by Marshall), was more successful, though Hanks' boozing, tobacco-chewing, ex-ballplayer routine convinced moviegoers more than it did critics.
Hanks continued the series of big boxoffice hits inaugurated by LEAGUE by moving back to gentler territory, returning to romantic comedies with the cross-country romance SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993), which teamed him with Meg Ryan and managed to suggest the loneliness of the aging "boy" who has found it hard to meet people. His choice of roles ventured into even sadder—and considerably more ambitious—territory with Jonathan Demme's well-intentioned PHILADELPHIA (1993), in which Hanks played a gay man fired from his job when it is discovered that he has AIDS. His "American boy" image, in this film shown to be crushed by an uncaring system, appealed to Oscar voters who named him the year's Best Actor.
Hanks followed with the whimsically genteel and populist smash hit FORREST GUMP (1994) that moved him even further into child-man territory as it showed his character's survival and triumph despite his innate limitations. FORREST GUMP went on to become the year's biggest grossing picture and won six Academy Awards including a second Best Actor citation for Hanks. Fresh from this triumph, Hanks portrayed astronaut Jim Lovell in Ron Howard's APOLLO 13 (1995) which depicted the ill-fated 1970 space expedition. As the flight commander, Hanks anchored the film and won yet another round of critical praise. He also voiced Woody, the cowboy threatened by Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), in John Lasseter's computed-generated animation wonder TOY STORY (also 1995). Hanks made his feature screenwriting and directing debut with THAT THING YOU DO, the story of 1960s rock-and-roll band, in which he also appears.

Jeremy Irons
(1948 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born: September 19, 1948, Cowes, Isle of Wight, England
Education: Sherbourne School, Dorset; Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
Classically trained actor who first came to prominence in the TV adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited" (1981). Irons has specialized in playing haunted upper-class types, frequently in period roles, and has achieved star status without compromising his reputation as a serious actor. He gave a bravura performance as the deranged twin brother protagonists of David Cronenberg's DEAD RINGERS (1988) and won an Oscar as haughty international playboy and murder suspect Claus von Bulow in Barbet Schroeder's REVERSAL OF FORTUNE (1990). Other roles: a paranoid insurance clerk in Steven Soderbergh's psychological thriller, KAFKA (1991); a history teacher haunted by memories of childhood in WATERLAND; and a Conservative English politician undone by an obsessive affair with his son's girlfriend in DAMAGE (both 1992). Married to actress Sinead Cusack.

Samuel L. Jackson
(1948 - )

AKA: Sam Jackson
Occupation: Actor
Born: c.1948, Washington, DC
Education: Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA (drama)
Lanky, intense veteran of TV commercials, Broadway and off-Broadway theater turned omnipresent character actor and occasional lead of 1990s film. Jackson spent over a decade working with the acclaimed Negro Ensemble Company. He also worked with the NY Shakespeare Festival and originated roles in two of August Wilson's plays at the Yale Repertory Theater: Boy Willie in The Piano Lesson and Wolf in Two Trains Running. He segued to bit parts in films and TV guest shots, often playing creeps and criminals who die violently on-screen. His strikingly feline eyes convey menace with scary effectiveness but his expressive face adjusts impressively to a wide range of material.
Jackson has acted in several films by writer-director Spike Lee, beginning with a bit as a local yokel in SCHOOL DAZE (1988). He oversaw the neighborhood happenings as the street-level deejay Mister Senor Love Daddy in DO THE RIGHT THING (1989) and beat the hell out of Denzel Washington in MO' BETTER BLUES (1990). Jackson enjoyed a major career boost in Lee's JUNGLE FEVER (1991) with a brilliant, harrowing portrait of an alternately charming and dangerous crack addict. His work won a special jury prize for best supporting actor at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival.
That triumph led to a torrent of small roles in a rapid succession of titles—STRICTLY BUSINESS (1991), Ernest Dickerson's JUICE, WHITE SANDS, JOHNNY SUEDE, PATRIOT GAMES, JUMPIN AT THE BONEYARD, and FATHERS AND SONS (all 1992)—before Jackson graduated to leads in two 1993 comedies, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S LOADED WEAPON I and AMOS & ANDREW. Jackson finished out the year in supporting roles in three wildly different projects: the Hughes Brothers' MENACE II SOCIETY; Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK; and Tony Scott's TRUE ROMANCE. The latter film was scripted by rising star Quentin Tarantino who—in tribute to 70s blaxploitation flicks—put Jackson in a Jheri-curled Afro wig to play a philosophical hit man in the acclaimed PULP FICTION (1994). Outstanding even amid a stellar ensemble including Bruce Willis, John Travolta, and Uma Thurman, he got to utter several killer monologues while going about his grisly work. For his efforts Jackson received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
The workaholic actor appeared in at least three other films in 1994 including THE NEW AGE and FRESH. Jackson has also appeared in such high-minded made-for-cable movies as ASSAULT AT WEST POINT (Showtime, 1994) and AGAINST THE WALL/ATTICA! ATTICA (HBO, 1994).

Christopher Walken
(1943 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born As: Ronald Walken
Born: March 31, 1943, Queens, NY
Education: Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY (English)
The angular and blue-eyed Walken segued from stage to screen playing a young electronics expert in THE ANDERSON TAPES, an intriguing Sidney Lumet-directed thriller starring Sean Connery. Walken was acclaimed (and bagged a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) for his portrayal of a war ravaged Vietnam vet in THE DEER HUNTER. Billed as Ronnie (short for Ronald) Walken, he began acting and dancing at age ten. Though he had significant stage experience in drama, Walken made his mark as a hoofer in musical comedies on the New York stage before returning to drama with an award-winning performance as King Philip in the original Broadway cast of The Lion in Winter. Adept at projecting both sensitivity and menace, the somewhat creepy yet charismatic Walken was also memorable as a man cursed with the ability to see the future in David Cronenberg's THE DEAD ZONE (1983).
A versatile performer, Walken comfortably alternates between lead and supporting roles in a wide variety of genres in films, theater, and TV. He demonstrated a flair for comedy with an indelible small role in ANNIE HALL (1977) as Diane Keaton's possibly psychotic brother and a hilarious comic turn as an eccentric drill sergeant in BILOXI BLUES (1988). Nor is Walken a stranger to camp villainy as his colorful performances in A VIEW TO A KILL (1985) and BATMAN RETURNS (1992) attest. Working regularly, appearing in as many as four films in some years, he has shifted from the art house (Paul Schrader's THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS) to the cineplex (Abel Ferrara's THE KING OF NEW YORK, both 1990) with admirable ease. Walken even briefly returned to dancing for PENNIES FROM HEAVEN (1981), performing a memorably serpentine soft shoe solo. On TV, he co-starred with Susan Sarandon in the PBS production WHO AM I THIS TIME? directed by Jonathan Demme (1990) and with Glenn Close in two acclaimed "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentations SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL (CBS, 1991) and its sequel SKYLARK (CBS, 1993).
Walken seemed to shine brightest amid stellar ensembles in his subsequent 90s feature performances. These included a turn in actor-turned-director Barry Primus's debut feature, MISTRESS, and a memorable scene as a gangster opposite a sassy Dennis Hopper in Tony Scott's TRUE ROMANCE (1993) scripted by Quentin Tarantino. Walken delivered a hilariously off-center monologue about the strange history of a gold watch as a Vietnam vet in Tarantino's acclaimed PULP FICTION (1994). He had more screen time—if less impact—as the slimy businessman antagonist of WAYNE'S WORLD 2 (1993) and performed similar chores for SEARCH AND DESTROY (1995). He proved an inspired choice to play the murderous angel Gabriel in THE PROPHECY as well as a would-be recoving vampire in Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION (both 1995).

Denzel Washington
(1954 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born: December 28, 1954, Mount Vernon, NY
Education: Fordham University, Bronx, NY (journalism); American Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco
With his matinee idol looks and finely honed acting skills, the stage-trained Washington worked steadily in TV before emerging in the 1990s as one of Hollywood's elite society of bankable African American film stars. He has successfully shifted between relatively modest upper-middlebrow projects and big-budget mainstream genre fare. Washington first received notice playing Dr. Phillip Chandler, an insecure young resident, on the well-regarded medical drama series, "St. Elsewhere" (NBC, 1982-88). Washington's film career, after an inauspicious debut as George Segal's illegitimate son in the inane comedy CARBON COPY (1981), was spurred by his riveting performance as the outspoken recruit in A SOLDIER'S STORY (1984). He garnered additional kudos playing the supporting role of South African activist Steven Biko in CRY FREEDOM (1987).
Washington made his debut as a feature lead the following year—speaking (or, according to some, struggling) with a Caribbean accent—playing a Falklands war hero down on his luck in Thatcherite London in the British feature FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY (1988). He consolidated his future in US films by winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a proudly defiant and overcompensating former slave turned soldier in GLORY (1989).
After faring well centerstage as the womanizing trumpeter Bleek Gilliam in Spike Lee's uneven MO' BETTER BLUES (1990), Washington was established as a movie star. He tried a commercial crime thriller, the disappointing RICOCHET (1991), playing an embattled cop on the edge. He actually fared better lending some box office weight (and considerable heat) to Mira Nair's engaging arthouse romance MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1992). Spellbinding as MALCOLM X (1992), the focus of Lee's flawed epic biopic, Washington earned a Best Actor Oscar nod for his efforts. He went on to prove himself capable and comfortable with Shakespearean screen dialogue as the dashing Don Pedro in Kenneth Branagh's bouncy adaptation of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (1993).
THE PELICAN BRIEF (1993) marked a career turning point of sorts. Cast alongside superstar Julia Roberts in an adaptation of a bestselling John Grisham legal thriller, Washington demonstrated that he could help sell a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster. PHILADELPHIA (1993) was a prestige project that had the additional good fortune to become a box office smash and further increased Washington's exposure. He capably played a homophobic attorney who takes on the case of an HIV-positive lawyer unfairly fired by his law firm. Some reviewers deemed his role more challenging than the sympathetic central character winningly played by Tom Hanks. Washington was well paired with film veteran Gene Hackman for CRIMSON TIDE (1995), a nuclear brinkmanship thriller set on a submarine. The film was one of the first big hits of the summer season. He subsequently fared less well at the box office in two other 1995 films where he was not paired with another (white) star: the violent sci-fi actioner VIRTUOSITY and the thoughtful period detective film DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS adapted from the novel by Walter Mosley. Though generally well reviewed, this meticulously observed slice of Black Americana set in post-war Los Angeles failed to find an audience, probably putting a kibosh on a proposed franchise for its star and ascendant writer-director Carl Franklin.

Julia Roberts
(1967 - )

Occupation: Actress
Born As: Julie Fiona Roberts
Born: October 28, 1967, Smyrna, GA
Education: Campbell High School
A winsome beauty with a large, incandescent smile and a mane of auburn hair, Julia Roberts was one of the few bankable female stars of the early 1990s. Critics have speculated on the secret of her huge appeal, but it remains one of the enigmas of contemporary pop culture. Roberts lacks the technical polish of some of her contemporaries, but has been able to command the screen even while surrounded by heavy-hitters like Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Shirley MacLaine.
Roberts was introduced to the world of performance at an early age by her theatrical parents, who ran the Atlanta-based Actors and Writers Workshop out of their home. Roberts made her screen debut opposite her brother Eric in BLOOD RED, although the 1986-produced film went unreleased for three years. She first gained notice playing a fiery Portuguese waitress in Donald Petrie's MYSTIC PIZZA (1988) and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination as the doomed diabetic heroine of Herbert Ross' STEEL MAGNOLIAS (1989).
With her performance as a warm-hearted prostitute who transforms cold executive Richard Gere in Garry Marshall's saccharine but immensely successful rags-to-riches saga, PRETTY WOMAN (1990), Roberts became one of Hollywood's most popular and bankable stars. Her contribution made the routine thrillers FLATLINERS (1990) and SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY (1991) popular successes. Later in 1991, Roberts faltered a bit at the box office with the weepie romance DYING YOUNG, but her star power garnered an opening weekend take of over $9 million. She finished the year with the supporting role of Tinkerbell in Steven Spielberg's lavish update of the Peter Pan myth, HOOK. Roberts' toothsome portrayal of the feisty fairy revealed no insights into the tiny winged character, and she struggled gamely with the physical and artistic rigors of doing most of her scenes alone on a special effects soundstage.
Roberts took some time off to get her highly publicized personal life in order: romances with co-stars Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, and Kiefer Sutherland all petered out, though her romance with co-star Lyle Lovett ended in a brief marriage. Roberts made a cameo appearance as herself in Robert Altman's THE PLAYER (1992) before making her much ballyhooed return to the screen. She reasserted her commercial magic opposite Denzel Washington in the political thriller THE PELICAN BRIEF (1993), but faltered with audiences opposite Nick Nolte in the middling romantic comedy I LOVE TROUBLE (1994). Her subsequent film work has been spotty: Robert Altman's high-fashion comedy READY TO WEAR (PRÊT-À-PORTER) (1994), the romantic comedy SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT (1995), with Dennis Quaid, and the period horror film MARY REILLY (1996) all failed to find audience favor. Roberts is featured in Woody Allen's musical EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU and plays Liam Neeson's love interest in Neil Jordan's historical drama MICHAEL COLLINS (both 1996).
Roberts' involvement with TV has been tangential. Early in her career, she made appearances on "Crime Story" (1987) and "Miami Vice" (1988), and she played a cameo role on a much publicized episode of "Friends"(NBC, 1996). Her one TV-movie has been the comedy BAJA OKLAHOMA (HBO, 1988).

Kirsten Dunst
(1982 - )

Occupation: Actress
Also: Model
Born: April 30, 1982, New Jersey
A pretty, extremely precocious young actor, Dunst began in commercials at age three (eventually racking up over 70 such credits) and made her feature debut in Woody Allen's segment of NEW YORK STORIES (1989) as Mia Farrow's daughter. Modest roles in other features followed, though several of the films (BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, 1990; GREEDY, 1994) saw little exposure at the box office. Her few TV appearances, in "Sisters," "Saturday Night Live" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," also amounted to little.
Not so, however, with INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, in which Dunst, eleven at the time of filming, essayed what was actually the female lead of the film opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. As Claudia, a little girl made into a vampire and unable to age through the years, Dunst looked like a child one moment and appeared—and acted—like a grown woman the next. Although the film received both raves and pans, there were nothing but the former for Dunst's remarkably mature performance.
Dunst followed up with another high-profile role as the spoiled, artistic Amy in LITTLE WOMEN (1994), starring opposite Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon (Dunst's character grew up to be Samantha Mathis). Not quite so successful was JUMANJI (1995), in which she appeared as one of the children who tries to save Robin Williams from the eponymous game. Dunst plays Sheryl Lee's character as a child in the Nazi thriller MOTHER NIGHT (1996).

Winona Ryder
(1971 - )

Occupation: Actress
Born As: Winona Laura Horowitz
Born: October 1971, Winona, MN
Education: Petaluma High School; American Conservatory Theatre
A striking, pale, sylph-like actress, Ryder has successfully segued from offbeat teen roles to strong adult parts. She received a "classic" alternative upbringing, spending some of her childhood on a Northern California commune—she boasts acid culture guru Timothy Leary as her godfather—and spent much of her time protesting Agent Orange with her (then-unmarried) parents. At age 13, Ryder was discovered by a talent scout during a performance at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Named after Winona, MN (where she was born), Ryder made her feature debut as the girlfriend aspirant of the title character in LUCAS (1986). She next played a lead—a Texas teen on a soul-searching journey—in the small and largely ignored SQUARE DANCE (1987).
Ryder enjoyed her first real attention for her portrayal of the wonderfully morbid teen in Tim Burton's horror comedy BEETLEJUICE (1988). Her underplayed, deadpan performance all but stole the film from the broader styles of Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, and Alec Baldwin. After marking time in the period drama 1969, she scored again as Veronica, an accidental teenage killer, in Michael Lehmann's dark cult comedy, HEATHERS (1989).
Ryder's career pattern was established: a couple of small or unsuccessful films, interspersed with a huge hit every two or three years. In the former category came the Jerry Lee Lewis biopic GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! (1989) and the offbeat comedy WELCOME HOME, ROXY CARMICHAEL (1990). In the latter category is Burton's romantic fantasy EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990), co-starring then fiance Johnny Depp. Ryder delivered a surprisingly mature performance, hampered only by an ill-advised blonde wig. Critics enjoyed—but audiences were leery of—MERMAIDS (also 1990), a 1960s comedy/drama starring Cher and Christina Ricci, who looked eerily like Ryder, as her kid sister. No one much cared for Jim Jarmusch's rambling NIGHT ON EARTH (1991), in which Ryder played a tough L.A. taxi driver. She had her first—but far from last—19th century role as vampire prey in Francis Ford Coppola's BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992), providing the film's unwavering emotional core without being overshadowed by the phantasmagoric special effects, lavish production design, and far showier acting of her costars. She was another Victorian victim (this time of her own rigid social upbringing) in Martin Scorsese's visually breathtaking adaptation of Edith Wharton's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (1993), co-starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer. Ryder held her own and earned her first Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress.
After a highly unsuccessful detour to South America (in 1994's THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS), this most modern of actresses returned to the present with a vengeance in the ground-breaking hit REALITY BITES (1994), a comedy-drama oriented toward disenfranchised twentysomethings. Ryder also made her singing debut in the film. It was back into the corset and crinoline for her turn as Jo in Gillian Armstrong's LITTLE WOMEN (1994). For her portrayal of the bookish, headstrong March sister, Ryder received an Oscar nomination as Best Actress. In 1995, Ryder played a graduate student who learns about life and love from the women in a quilting bee in Jocelyn Moorhouse's HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT.
Ryder is featured as Lady Anne in Al Pacino's LOOKING FOR RICHARD (1996), a documentary about actors working on Shakespeare's tragedy Richard III. She also reteamed with Daniel Day-Lewis for a big screen adaptation of Arthur Miller's classic play THE CRUCIBLE (1996), directed by Nicholas Hytner.

Dustin Hoffman
(1937 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Director
Born As: Dustin Lee Hoffman
Born: August 8, 1937, Los Angeles, CA
Education: Los Angeles High School, Los Angeles, CA; Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and Arts, Los Angeles, CA (music); Santa Monica City College, Santa Monica, CA; Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena, CA
After the release of two very different 1969 films, MIDNIGHT COWBOY and TRUE GRIT, a Life magazine cover featured a sketch of the films' stars, Dustin Hoffman and John Wayne, and the line "A Choice of Heroes." (The Academy chose Wayne.) A prime example of 1960s Hollywood's tendency to reinterpret traditional notions of screen heroism, Hoffman burst upon the scene in Mike Nichols' THE GRADUATE (1967). As 21-year-old Benjamin Braddock, the nearly 30-year-old Hoffman proved emblematic for a generation that rejected the values of their parents but were still left uncertain and confused about their future. Navigating that treacherous strait between satiric caricature and Method drama, Hoffman delivered a hilarious yet profoundly moving performance. Somewhere between his comic seduction by Anne Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson and his anguish in the film's climactic wedding scene, Hoffman became a screen icon of unusual proportions. Although male stardom in Hollywood had featured many classically attractive or rugged types, Hoffman succeeded, in part, "because" of his unglamorous looks and short stature; he soon joined other unconventional looking performers like Barbra Streisand and Jack Nicholson as new stars for a new generation of moviegoers.
An Academy Award nomination for THE GRADUATE was followed by another Oscar-nominated performance, as Ratso Rizzo in MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969), a landmark in screen frankness in its depiction of the sordid world of street hustlers. Ratso was a wheezing, scruffy, dumb, tubercular loser; it was a refreshing case of a hot young actor unafraid to immerse himself in a physically unattractive character. Notable too was Hoffman's willingness, after the success of THE GRADUATE, to take a role essentially subsidiary to the lead character played by Jon Voight.
JOHN AND MARY (1969), though not a critical success, showed Hoffman's ability to play a more conventional role as a young man confronting contemporary courtship rituals. He was more interesting, if amusingly out-of-place, in the Old West setting of the rambling satire LITTLE BIG MAN (1970). Hoffman proved fascinating in Sam Peckinpah's still controversial STRAW DOGS (1971) as David, a timid mathematician who, on a research grant, had moved with his wife to her native village in the English countryside, partially to avoid campus unrest in the US. His manhood put to the test after his wife is assaulted, David protects his home from local toughs in a disturbing confrontation of escalating violence which he seemingly enjoys.
For LENNY (1974), Hoffman was nominated for an Academy Award, again in an unpleasant characterization: a complex, multi-dimensional portrait of the hard-driving social comedian Lenny Bruce. In ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976), he played Carl Bernstein, the aggressive reporter who helped expose Nixon's Watergate crimes. STRAIGHT TIME (1978) failed to attract popular attention, but Hoffman's acclaimed performance as a hardcore criminal stands as a hallmark of his approach to performance, which eschews easy sentiment in favor of three-dimensional grit.
Hoffman scored a popular success in 1979 with an atypically accessible performance (and his first Academy Award) in KRAMER VS. KRAMER, as a father who must develop a relationship with his young son when his wife walks out. If the subtext of KRAMER VS. KRAMER implied that a man could be a better mother than a woman, Hoffman's next film, TOOTSIE (1982) tried to suggest that a man could be a better woman than a woman. In this amusing comedy about role reversal, Hoffman played an actor who masquerades as a woman in order to get a part on a soap opera and then promptly becomes a public role model as a liberated, feminist woman. Although TOOTSIE showed Hoffman's continuing interest in transforming his physical appearance, his performance is somewhat atypically (if appropriately) warm; on some level it seems a valentine to underemployed actors, for whom Hoffman retains tremendous empathy.
His Broadway performance as Willy Loman in DEATH OF A SALESMAN, filmed in 1985, received mixed reviews. Competing with the ghost of Lee J. Cobb's original stage performance and Hoffman's own iconic definition as Benjamin Braddock, some found Hoffman too slight and too young—ignoring the fact that Hoffman was almost a decade older than Cobb when Cobb played the role on Broadway, and that Arthur Miller had described Loman as a small and "low" man.
After the notorious failure of ISHTAR (1987), Hoffman won a second Academy Award for his riveting portrayal of an autistic savant in RAIN MAN (1988), hailed by some as one of the most objective, unsentimental depictions of a handicapped person in the American cinema. RAIN MAN also suggests a transitional point in screen history. Just as Hoffman came to prominence as the star for a 60s generation, his pairing in RAIN MAN opposite Tom Cruise suggests the passing of the mantle to a new star more accessible to the 80s generation of filmgoers. Viewed in a more cynical light, this project shrewdly packaged an aging respected actor with a hot young box-office champ thereby bestowing marketability upon the former and artistic credibility upon the latter.
His reputation as one of America's greatest actors secured, Hoffman proceeded to star in a series of films that disappointed at the box office. He proved proficient in the Sidney Lumet-directed comedy-drama FAMILY BUSINESS, playing the son of Sean Connery and the father of Matthew Broderick, but the screenplay let them all down. Hoffman turned in an amusing cameo in DICK TRACY (1990) as Mumbles (perhaps a commentary on how some critics have described his vocal delivery) but failed to convince with his somewhat stiff take on gangster Dutch Schultz in BILLY BATHGATE (1991). That same year, a costumed Hoffman fared better with a stylized portrayal of the sinister pirate captain HOOK in Steven Spielberg's lavish but uneven update of the Peter Pan story. Speaking with an accent inspired by pundit William Buckley, Hoffman's villain was more comical than menacing. Though quite successful internationally (grossing approximately $200 million), HOOK was seen as a flop at home. The failed romantic comedy HERO (1992) found Hoffman seemingly resuscitating Ratso Rizzo to play a small-time hood who unexpectedly performs an act of great heroism.
Hoffman bounced back big in a surprisingly traditional heroic role—first turned down by Harrison Ford—in the hit thriller OUTBREAK (1995). As a military specialist in epidemiology, Hoffman's serious and dedicated Colonel Sam Daniels, MD is a thorn in the side of the other Army brass but the best man for the job when an unknown virus breaks out in the African rain forest and spreads to the US. Hoffman's behind-the-scenes reputation as a "difficult" perfectionist lent additional resonance to his performance.

Jennifer Connelly
(1970 - )

Occupation: Actress
Born: c.1970, New York, NY
Education: Yale (drama, English)
Fresh-faced former model who made her film debut at age 12 as the young Elizabeth McGovern character, seen in flashbacks in Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (1984). Horror cultists may remember her as the girl who has a peculiar relationship with the insect world in Dario Argento's Italian fear opus, CREEPERS (1984).
Connelly has subsequently been featured in mostly forgettable teen fare, with the possible exception of Jim Henson's LABYRINTH (1986) in which she was overshadowed by David Bowie and a cast of Henson creatures. She was the only innocent among Southern schemers in Dennis Hopper's thriller, THE HOT SPOT (1990); the voluptuous town beauty in the teen comedy CAREER OPPORTUNITIES (1991); and a 1940s Hollywood starlet in THE ROCKETEER (1991).

Woody Harrelson
(1961 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Playwright, musician
Born As: Woodrow Tracy Harrelson
Born: July 23, 1961, Midland, TX
Education: Hanover College, Indiana (theater arts, English)
Blond, affable performer best known for his Emmy-winning performance as the charmingly dim-witted Woody Boyd on the popular NBC sitcom "Cheers." Harrelson has played decidedly more serious roles in such made-for-TV melodramas as BAY COVEN (1987) and KILLER INSTINCT (1988). His career took a major boost with his first leading role in a feature, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP (1992), which proved one of the surprise box-office hits of the year and a suitable showcase for his relaxed, offhand and self-aware charm. He enjoyed another popular (if not critical) success as a jealous husband with the fanciful romantic drama INDECENT PROPOSAL (1993) but had less success with the public in the standardized "buddy" movie, THE COWBOY WAY (1994). Harrelson was cast against type in Oliver Stone's NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994). As Mickey Knox, half of a murdering couple, Harrelson's still potent "nice guy" image helped audiences tolerate his character's brutal misdeeds.

Robert Redford
(1937 - )

Occupation: Actor, director
Also: Producer
Born As: Charles Robert Redford, Jr.
Born: August 18, 1937, Santa Monica, CA
Education: University of Colorado; Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY (art); American Academy of Dramatic Arts
Once, according to screenwriter William Goldman, Robert Redford was called "just another California blond—throw a stick at Malibu, you'll hit six of him." It is unlikely, however, that any of the six would combine Redford's charm, intelligence, talent and looks. He attended the University of Colorado on a baseball scholarship but dropped out in 1957 to spend a year traveling and painting in Europe. Back in the States, he studied theatrical design and acting in New York.
In the late 1950s and early 60s, Redford appeared on scores of television shows, including as a "stooge" on the quiz show "Play Your Hunch." Among his early appearances were "The Twilight Zone," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (in three different episodes), "Maverick," "Naked City," "Route 66" and "Dr. Kildare." He won critical praise for "In the Presence of Mine Enemies," an episode of "Playhouse 90" (CBS, 1960) and earned an Emmy nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in THE VOICE OF CHARLIE PONT (ABC, 1962). Redford had made his Broadway debut in a small role in Tall Story (1959), following up with the shows The Highest Tree (1959) and Sunday in New York (1961). He enjoyed his biggest Broadway success as the stuffy newlywed husband of Elizabeth Ashley in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park (1963).
Redford made his screen debut in WAR HUNT (1962), co-starring with Tom Skerritt and Sydney Pollack in an anti-war film set during the Korean conflict. After his Broadway success, he began to be cast in larger feature roles. He was a bisexual movie star who marries starlet Natalie Wood in INSIDE DAISY CLOVER (1965) and reteamed with her for Pollack's THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED (1966), again as her lover. The same year saw his first teaming with Jane Fonda (Arthur Penn's pallid THE CHASE, in which he was a fugitive on the run). Fonda and Redford were paired to better effect in the big screen version of BAREFOOT IN THE PARK (1967) and were again co-stars in Pollack's THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN (1979).
Redford—already concerned about his blond male starlet image—turned down roles in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? and THE GRADUATE, holding out for the phenomenal popular success, George Roy Hill's BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969), with Paul Newman. This film made him a bankable star and cemented his screen image as an intelligent, reliable, sometimes sardonic good guy. As so often happens, his next few films—while not all artistic losses—were hardly hits at the box office. DOWNHILL RACER (1969), on which he served as executive producer, was an interesting look at the world of competitive skiing, but TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE (1969), LITTLE FAUSS AND BIG HALSY (1970), THE HOT ROCK and the underrated outdoors drama JEREMIAH JOHNSON (both 1972) did little to forward Redford's stardom. His next real success came with the incisive political satire THE CANDIDATE (1972), which traded on his Golden Boy image to skewer Watergate-era Washington.
The year 1973 was a huge one for Redford, who starred in the high-profile THE WAY WE WERE and THE STING. The former teamed him with a glowing Barbra Streisand in a successful "through-the-years" romance, the latter reteamed him with Newman in a crime comedy. About the first film, Redford joked, "nice Jewish girl gets nice blond WASP," and about the second, "nice Jewish BOY gets nice blond WASP." Already, Redford was known for bringing out the best in his co-stars; his frequent pairings with Newman, Wood and Fonda worked superbly; and actresses such as Streisand, Faye Dunaway, Meryl Streep and Michelle Pfeiffer were rarely so relaxed or sensual as when playing opposite him.
During the years 1974-76, exhibitors voted Redford Hollywood's top box office name; his hits included the glossy but impressive-looking THE GREAT GATSBY (1974), THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER and THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (both 1975). Another popular and acclaimed film, Alan J. Pakula's ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976), was a landmark film for Redford. Not only was he the executive producer and co-star, but the film's serious subject matter, the Watergate scandal, also reflected the actor's offscreen concerns for political causes.
In 1980, Redford's first outing as a director, ORDINARY PEOPLE, a drama about the slow disintegration of a middle-class family, won him an Oscar. Redford managed to get a powerful dramatic performance out of America's Sweetheart, Mary Tyler Moore, as well as superb work from Donald Sutherland and Timothy Hutton. His second stint behind the camera would not be for another eight years with THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR (1988), a well-crafted (though not terribly popular) screen version of John Nichols' acclaimed novel of the Southwest. Other directoral projects have included the highly successful period family drama A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT (1992), based on Norman McLean's novella, and the intelligent expose QUIZ SHOW (1994). Working with noted cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and a strong cast that featured John Turturro and Ralph Fiennes, Redford's directorial finesse had critics talking.
Besides his directing (and producing) duties, Redford did not stop acting as he entered middle age. He made a fine romantic lead opposite Meryl Streep in Sydney Pollack's Oscar-winning OUT OF AFRICA (1985); although many critics complained that his portrayal of Isak Dinesen's lover wasn't particularly realistic, Redford's characterization was more substantial than the ghostly figure of Dinesen's book. After the box-office disaster of HAVANA (1990), he turned in amiable performances in the computer caper SNEAKERS (1992), the silly sex drama INDECENT PROPOSAL (1993), with Demi Moore, and opposite Michelle Pfeiffer in the newsroom romance UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL (1996). His good looks had weathered considerably after years in the Utah sun and wind, but with kind lenses he could still romance Moore and Pfeiffer.
Since founding the nonprofit Sundance Institute in Park City, Utah, in 1981, Redford has been actively involved in every aspect of that body. Through its various workshop programs and the popular Film Festival, Sundance has provided much-needed support for independent film production. In 1995, Redford signed a deal with Showtime to start up a 24-hour cable TV channel devoted to independent films. The Sundance Channel premiered on February 29, 1996.

Kevin Spacey
(1959 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Director, producer
Born: July 26, 1959, South Orange, NJ
Education: Northridge Military Academy, Northridge, CA; Los Angeles Valley College, Los Angeles, CA; The Juilliard School, New York, NY (drama)
The chameleonic Spacey first gained notice on the New York stage opposite Liv Ullmann in Ghosts. Director Mike Nichols chose him to replace Harvey Keitel in David Rabe's Hurlyburly and later cast Spacey as a thief in HEARTBURN (1986) and a Wall Street broker in WORKING GIRL (1988). With his average looks and compact build, Spacey is equally at home playing ordinary guys (the struggling stand-up comic in ROCKET GIBRALTAR, 1988) or edgy villains (Mel Proffit in the CBS drama series "Wiseguy," 1987-88).
Spacey earned raves as Jamie Tyrone in the Broadway revival of Long Day's Journey Into Night opposite Jack Lemmon in 1987. He and Lemmon later appeared together on TV in THE MURDER OF MARY PHAGAN (NBC, 1988) and in the feature DAD (1989). He also received acclaim and a Best Supporting Actor Tony for his role as a would-be gangster in Neil Simon's award-winning Lost in Yonkers. Although he was passed over for the film version of the Simon play, Spacey has given many memorable screen performances, including the sadistic office manager at odds with his staff in the film version of David Mamet's GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, and a kinky and adulterous murderer in CONSENTING ADULTS (both 1992). He co-produced and starred as a ruthless film studio executive in the underappreciated SWIMMING WITH SHARKS and was half (with Judy Davis) of a bickering couple held hostage by a burglar (Denis Leary) in THE REF (both 1994). In 1995, Spacey was featured in three films: as an army major dealing with a potential health threat in the virus thriller OUTBREAK; as a crippled, talkative thief in THE USUAL SUSPECTS; and in a crucial role in SEVEN. Spacey made his directorial debut with ALBINO ALLIGATOR (1996), about three petty thieves who are mistaken as infamous gunmen.

Ed Harris
(1950 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Producer
Born As: Edward Allen Harris
Born: November 28, 1950, Tenafly, NJ
Education: Columbia University, New York, NY; Oklahoma State University, OK (acting); California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA
An award-winning stage performer and engaging lead of 1980s and '90s film and TV, Harris' hard features and fathomless blue eyes make for an unlikely leading man. However, he brings strength and conviction to his roles: critics have often mentioned his "Marlboro Man" presence (Harris smokes, making the simile even more apt). The high school athlete began acting in the mid 1970s, working mostly on the L.A. stage in Equity-waiver productions of Hamlet, The Grapes of Wrath, and True West. In 1978, he segued to film with a small role in Michael Crichton's COMA. He was impressive in his first lead in George Romero's underrated KNIGHTRIDERS (1981), a modern twist on the Arthurian legend. Harris gained widespread attention for his stalwart portrayal of astronaut John Glenn in Philip Kaufman's THE RIGHT STUFF (1983). He also made his NY stage debut that year as Eddie, the laconic cowboy with a troubled past and uncertain future in Sam Shepard's Fool for Love (a part written specifically for him). Harris made his Broadway debut as the stern but loving father in George Furth's autobiographical play Precious Sons (1986).
Harris has also been busy on the small screen, since his debut in a tiny part in THE AMAZING HOWARD HUGHES (CBS, 1977). He went on to appear in such TV-movies and miniseries as "The Aliens are Coming" (his first supporting TV role, NBC, 1980) and the courtroom drama PARIS TROUT (Showtime, 1991). He was a presidential candidate romancing Diane Keaton in RUNNING MATES (HBO, 1992), a tormented military leader in Stephen King's "The Stand" (ABC, 1994), and produced with and starred opposite Amy Madigan (his wife since 1983) in Zane Grey's RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE (TNT, 1996). In 1994, Harris was one of the many narrators of Ken Burns' "Baseball" documentary (PBS).
Harris' feature career, however, outshone his TV work. During the mid-'80s, Harris turned in a fine, cold-hearted performance as Charlie Dick, the abusive, yet loving husband of Patsy Cline in SWEET DREAMS (1985); played William Walker as a delusional man who would be dictator in Alex Cox's WALKER (shot in Nicaragua in 1987); provided the emotional anchor in James Cameron's THE ABYSS (1989); and lent sympathy to David Moss, the brain behind the heist in David Mamet's star-packed GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (1992).
Harris followed up as a frustrated FBI agent on the trail of a corruption in THE FIRM, supporting Tom Cruise and Gene Hackman), and played a dedicated small-town sheriff battling the forces of darkness in the Stephen King thriller, NEEDFUL THINGS (both 1993). After an unsuccessful venture into comedy (the 1994 MILK MONEY, with Melanie Griffith), Harris delivered a chilling portrait of a serial killer in JUST CAUSE (1995). That same year, he appeared as NASA mission control flight director Gene Kranz, whose calm, cool demeanor aids the astronauts caught in space in Ron Howard's APOLLO 13 and was in the talented ensemble of Oliver Stone's NIXON (as E. Howard Hunt). Harris then appeared as Sally Field's husband in John Schlesinger's revenge drama EYE FOR AN EYE (1996) (jokingly referred to as "Gidget Goes Ballistic"), and supported Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage in the hostage thriller THE ROCK (1996).

Bruce Willis
(1955 - )

Occupation: Actor
Also: Singer
Born: March 19, 1955, West Germany
Education: Penns Grove High School; Montclair State College
A relaxed, raffish performer, Willis shot to stardom as private investigator David Addison on TV's smash series, "Moonlighting" (ABC, 1985-89) and graduated to feature roles during the show's run. Born in Germany but raised in New Jersey, Willis commuted to New York, where he played harmonica with a band, tended bar, and made his off-Broadway debut in Heaven and Earth (1977). For the next few years, he modeled, appeared in bit parts in films (THE FIRST DEADLY SIN, 1980; PRINCE OF THE CITY, 1981; THE VERDICT, 1982) and on TV ("Hart to Hart" and "Miami Vice"). After a stage success in Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE, he was cast in the part which rocketed him to stardom.
As the wise-cracking private eye David Addison, Willis showed the same cocky charm that James Cagney exhibited early in his career. The on-set tensions helped simulate sexual energy with co-star Cybill Shepherd, and "Moonlighting" proved to be one of the cleverest shows of the late 1980s. During this time, he appeared on several TV shows, including "The Twilight Zone" (1985), "Dolly" (1987), and his own music special, "The Return of Bruno" (HBO, 1987).
Willis shifted uneasily at first to features, starting with two uneven Blake Edwards comedies, BLIND DATE (1987) and SUNSET (1988): his charming "Moonlighting" smirk threatened to harden into a permanent expression. But Willis' wise-guy machismo made him immensely popular in several mainstream movies, as in his role as New York cop John McClane in the surprise hit DIE HARD (1988) and its large scale sequels DIE HARD 2 (1990) and DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE (1995). He also supplied the voice of Mikey in the hit comedy LOOK WHO'S TALKING (1989) and its limp follow-up LOOK WHO'S TALKING TOO (1990).
As early as 1989, Willis showed a surprising ambition to stretch his talents, first as a Vietnam veteran in the drama IN COUNTRY. His efforts have not always been successful, but critics were impressed with his character turns as a low-life murder victim in MORTAL THOUGHTS (1991), as a hapless plastic surgeon in the horror comedy DEATH BECOMES HER (1992), and as Paul Newman's employer in NOBODY'S FOOL (1994). Willis was especially well-received as a prizefighter in Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION (1994) and as a time-traveling scientist in Terry Gilliam's TWELVE MONKEYS (1995). He teamed with writer-director Walter Hill for LAST MAN STANDING (1996), a Western remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai epic YOJIMBO.
Willis has also graced some of the 1990s' biggest disasters, starting with the ill-conceived BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES (1990) and continuing with the self-indulgent action flop HUDSON HAWK (1991), for which he provided the story. Other box office and critical disappointments include BILLY BATHGATE and THE LAST BOY SCOUT (both 1991), the fantasy NORTH and the appalling erotic thriller COLOR OF NIGHT (both 1994).
Willis married his MORTAL THOUGHTS co-star Demi Moore in November 1987. In 1991, Willis and fellow action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone opened the successful restaurant chain Planet Hollywood. He has also recorded two albums.

Demi Moore
(1962 - )

Occupation: Actress
Also: Producer
Born As: Demi Guynes
Born: November 11, 1962, Roswell, NM
Once a pretty, sultry teenage model with a slightly subdued, aloof quality, Moore evolved into one of the top female screen stars of the 90s. She began as a regular on ABC's staple of daytime drama, "General Hospital;" her husky voice and hushed line delivery lent itself well to the tense plots. Moore soon segued to features, making her debut in CHOICES (1981). She went on to appear in Charles Band's PARASITE (1982) and Garry Marshall's YOUNG DOCTORS IN LOVE (1982). In 1984 she became a Hollywood mainstay, playing Michael Caine's vulnerable young daughter in BLAME IT ON RIO and a callous model in NO SMALL AFFAIR. Moore joined the female contingent of the "brat-pack," co-starring in ST. ELMO'S FIRE (1985) and WISDOM (1986), a road movie directed by her then fiancé Emilio Estevez.
Moore graduated to adult roles as the prophecy-bearing mother in THE SEVENTH SIGN (1988), a foul-talking hooker in Neil Jordan's misfire WE'RE NO ANGELS (1989) and the mourning, teary-eyed lover in the surprise hit GHOST (1990). She gave one of her better performances and moved into production when she co-produced Alan Rudolph's intriguing MORTAL THOUGHTS (1991). The extremely popular A FEW GOOD MEN (1992) kept her in the public eye but the military courtroom proceedings largely kept her sidelined dramatically as the more prominent male characters occupied center stage. Moore shed more tears as Woody Harrelson's wife who sleeps with Robert Redford for a million dollars in Adrian Lyne's popular INDECENT PROPOSAL (1993). In Barry Levinson's thriller DISCLOSURE (1994), she received a chance to shed her "nice girl" image, playing a ruthless corporate executive who becomes the target of a sexual harassment suit lodged by a disappointed employee and former lover, played by Michael Douglas. While many reviewers slammed the film for its implausibility and irrelevance to real world concerns, Moore received favorable notices for her icy turn.
Moore made her debut in a costume epic as adulteress Hester Prynne in THE SCARLET LETTER (1995) opposite Gary Oldman and then segued to more contemporary times in NOW AND THEN (1995), a drama focusing on childhood friendships which Moore also co-produced. She followed with the title role of THE JUROR (1996) as a single mother pressured to change influence a jury by a gangster (Alec Baldwin). Moore could also be heard as the voice of Esmerelda in Disney's animated version of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1996). She solidified her stature in Hollywood with a reported $12.5 million salary for STRIPTEASE (1996), making her the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. Married to actor Bruce Willis.

Jim Carrey
(1962 - )

AKA: James Carrey
Occupation: Actor, comedian
Born As: James Eugene Carrey
Born: January 17, 1962, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
A rubber-faced, hyperkinetic comic and actor, Carrey started as a stand-up comedian at age 15 in comedy clubs in his native Canada. After playing comedy rooms throughout the US, Carrey had his first acting break with a small turn in Richard Lester's FINDERS KEEPERS (1984). That same year he was cast as the star of THE DUCK FACTORY (NBC, 1984), a lively failure from producer Jay Tarses about life in an animation studio. He returned to the clubs and landed small movie roles in Francis Coppola's PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED (1986), Julien Temple's EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (1989), and two Buddy Van Horn-directed Clint Eastwood vehicles, THE DEAD POOL (1988) and PINK CADILLAC (1989). It wasn't until he was cast as an ensemble member for Fox's "In Living Color" that Carrey had an opportunity to truly flaunt his comic talents. His penchant for impressions and broad physical comedy combined with an improvisational flair to make Carrey the show's most engaging performer.
Carrey made the leap to feature leading man with the out-of-the-blue smash hit ACE VENTURA, PET DETECTIVE (1994). A non-stop showcase for his distinctive brand of physical and verbal humor, ACE VENTURA, PET DETECTIVE (1994) featured some of Carrey's more outrageous riffs, including an extended sequence where he talked out of his butt. While most critics dismissed the film, audiences flocked to the theaters and made Carrey a bankable star. His next offering, THE MASK (1994), filmed back-to-back with ACE, firmly established Carrey's box-office clout as it garnered over $20 million in its first weekend. Here he played an everyday schlub who finds a magical mask that turns him into an over-sexed cartoon superhero — sort of a more extreme take on Jerry Lewis's THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. The film also featured an extended song and dance sequence with Carrey belting out the Desi Arnaz rumba number "Cuban Pete."
Carrey followed up these back-to-back successes with another box-office hit DUMB & DUMBER (1994), with Carrey playing the latter of the two title characters. While the film was thin on plot and received mixed reviews, critics and audiences lauded Carrey's flair for physical comedy. Some even speculated that he might someday claim the comedy throne in France. Carrey kept on rolling when he donned an orange wig and green jumper to play the scene stealing Riddler in the third Batman feature BATMAN FOREVER (1995). Not unlike Jack Nicholson's The Joker or Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, Carrey walked away with the best lines and reviews. He finished out 1995 in the inevitable sequel, ACE VENTURA: WHEN NATURE CALLS, which opened with a record-breaking $40 million box office take its first weekend.

Brad Pitt
(1963 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born As: William Bradley Pitt
Born: December 18, 1963, Shawnee, OK
Education: Kickapoo High School, MO; University of Missouri (journalism, advertising)
This sensuously handsome young actor emerged as one of the most celebrated screen sex symbols of 1990s Hollywood. Pitt started out in TV guest spots and recurring roles on the soap operas "Another World" and "Dallas," which tended to capitalize on his blond, wiry good looks. He co-starred on "Glory Days" (Fox, 1990), a short-lived drama about post-high school angst. Pitt entered features via the well-traveled low road, appearing in supporting roles in such standard teen fodder as slasher pix, sex comedies and family-oriented sports dramas.
Pitt gained relatively instant stardom as the hitchhiking hunk—part charmer, part thief—who seduces Geena Davis in the female buddy movie, THELMA & LOUISE (1991). He achieved leading man status in his next film sporting a formidable pompadour as the fictitious aspiring teen idol JOHNNY SUEDE, and maintained it as a soft-hearted yet hard-boiled vet turned cartoon cop in COOL WORLD (both 1992), Ralph Bakshi's uneven blend of live-action and animation. Pitt gained some critical esteem playing the troubled younger brother who casts a mean fishing line in Robert Redford's A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT (also 1992), but fared less well as a bearded psycho killer in KALIFORNIA (1993). He provided a delightful character turn as a stoner roommate in the Quentin Tarantino-scripted TRUE ROMANCE (also 1993). Pitt played his first high-profile lead in a Hollywood blockbuster as Louis, the lachrymose narrator of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES (1994). His depressed vampire seemed all the more anemic paired with a lively Tom Cruise. Pitt's star qualities were better displayed in LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1995) as the wild middle brother of a colorful Western clan. In a change of pace from glamor roles (and to subtly subvert his being dubbed "the sexiest man alive" by People magazine), Pitt played a scruffy, arrogant policeman tracking a serial killer with Morgan Freeman in SEVEN and had a supporting role as a twitching mental patient/animal rights activist in Terry Gilliam's TWELVE MONKEYS (both 1995).

Antonio Banderas
(1960 - )

Occupation: Actor
Born: 1960, Malaga, Spain
Education: School of Dramatic Art, Malaga, Spain
This handsome, youthful Spanish lead of film and stage gained an international following with his work for maverick filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. Banderas' curly brown locks and doe eyes have subsequently earned him status as a rising sex symbol of 1990s Hollywood. First drawn to acting after attending a 1973 production of Hair, he completed his studies at Malaga's School of Dramatic Art before embarking upon a five-year stint with the prestigious National Theater of Spain which included appearances in plays by Brecht, Marlowe and Shakespeare. He made a fine feature debut in Almodóvar's LABYRINTH OF PASSION (1982)—a sometimes crude and always outlandish sex farce—amid transvestites, punk rockers and nymphomaniacs. Banderas soon thereafter became a leading presence in Spanish cinema and theater.
Banderas has also acted in more conventional Spanish dramas including Carlos Saura's THE STILTS (1983), Felix Rotaeta's gruesome and riveting THE PLEASURE OF KILLING (1987) and BATON-ROUGE (1988), helmed by former Almodóvar assistant Rafael Moleon. He became known in the US for his performances in the Almodóvar films WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (1988), as the nephew of Carmen Maura, and TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN! (1990), as a charismatic mental patient who kidnaps, binds and romances a drug-addicted porn star. Banderas made his Hollywood debut in THE MAMBO KINGS (1992) as a soulful Cuban trumpeter who comes to America in the 50s. Though the film failed at the box office, it provided Banderas a springboard that led to supporting roles in four major productions: PHILADELPHIA (1993), as Tom Hanks's understanding boyfriend; HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS (1993), playing a revolutionary who romances Glenn Close and Winona Ryder; INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES (1994), as Old World vampire Armand in a highly publicized production headed by Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt; and MIAMI RHAPSODY (1995), as Mia Farrow's lover. His first starring role in an American feature was in DESPERADO (1995), Robert Rodriguez's sequel to the ultra low-budget success, EL MARIACHI. Banderas had featured roles in three other 1995 films: NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS opposite Rebecca De Mornay; ASSASSINS co-starring Sylvester Stallone; and a cameo in Robert Rodriguez's segment of FOUR ROOMS opposite DESPERADO co-star, Salma Hayek.
Married actress and TWO MUCH (1996) co-star Melanie Griffith in 1996.

Meryl Streep
(1949 - )

Occupation: Actress
Born As: Mary Louise Streep
Born: June 22, 1949, Summit, NJ
Education: Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY (English, drama); Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH (set and costume design, playwrighting); School of Drama, Yale University, New Haven, CT
Cool and controlled, elegant and graceful, Streep has reigned as the American cinema's leading serious actress since the early 1980s.
A regular performer with Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival, she made her screen debut in JULIA (1977) and was Oscar-nominated (the first of nine times) for THE DEER HUNTER (1978). In the watershed year of 1979, she played the seductress in THE SEDUCTION OF JOE TYNAN and Woody Allen's lesbian ex-wife in MANHATTAN and won her first Oscar, for KRAMER VS. KRAMER. Two years after her first screen appearance, she had become one of the most widely praised actresses working in the medium.
Streep turned in a bravura performance opposite Jeremy Irons in the uneven adaptation of THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN (1981) and cemented her reputation with a riveting tour de force as the title character of SOPHIE'S CHOICE (1982)—a role that combined flawless technique with raw emotional intensity and earned her another Oscar. She went on to give a succession of performances that aggressively demonstrated her apparent mastery of any idiom, accent or social milieu—playing a blue-collar political activist in SILKWOOD (1983), transplanted Danish writer Karen Blixen in OUT OF AFRICA (1985) and Lindy Chamberlain, the woman whose claim that dingoes had made off with her baby made her "the most maligned woman in Australia," in A CRY IN THE DARK (1988).
Streep's career took a new turn in the late 1980s with comedic roles, first in Susan Seidelman's misfire SHE-DEVIL (1989) and then the somewhat more successful POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE (1990), in which she played a character loosely modeled on actress Carrie Fisher. In Albert Brooks's imperfect comedy fantasy DEFENDING YOUR LIFE (1991) Streep was a candidate waiting to get into heaven. Streep's portrayal of a vain desperate actress in Robert Zemeckis's black comedy DEATH BECOMES HER (1992) earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Less successful was her portrayal of a woman with clairvoyant powers in THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS (1993), the filming of Isabel Allende's powerful novel about an aristocratic Chilean family. And in THE RIVER WILD (1994) Streep found a real change of pace, as well in her first outing as an action heroine, playing a former white water rafting guide who must pilot her family down river to safety. Although this was intended as a commercial move, she ironically found far greater popular and critical success in the relatively mundane role of a bored housewife opposite Clint Eastwood in the acclaimed adaptation of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY (1995). Streep followed up opposite Liam Neeson as a concerned mother whose son (Edward Furlong) is accused of murder in Barbet Schroeder's BEFORE AND AFTER (1996) and as Diane Keaton's estranged sister in the film version of Scott McPherson's play MARVIN'S ROOM (1996).

چگونه بفهميم طرف online هست يا نه؟
يه کار جالب يادتون مي دم براي مطمئن شدن از اينکه طرف مورد نظر Invisible است? يا اين که اصلا Online نيست (مربوط به ياهو مسنجر) اين سوال بسياري از افراد است که نمي دونند دوستشان واقعا آنلاين است يا نه... من از اينجا از تمام کساني که هميشه به حالت مخفي (Invisible) مي آيند روي خط معذرت مي خواهم چون از اين به بعد اين کار معني ندارد و بايد همه به حالت آشکار روي مسنجر ظاهر شوند... خب حرف زدن بسه ! کار رو شروع مي کنيم :
----------شروع کار: روي دوست مورد نظر کليک راست را بزنيد تا منوي مربوط به او ظاهر شود
از منوي باز شده گزينه Invite to Conferance (املايش را مطمئن نيستم؛ يک چيزي تو همين مايه هاست! ) حال چه طرف مورد نظر باشد چه نباشد? پيغامي مبني بر اينکه آيا مايل است توي کنفرانسي که شما او را دعوت کرده ايد? شرکت کند يا خير... مسلما او يا قبول ميکند يا نه... در هر صورت به اين پيغام جواب مي دهد و به هيچ وجه نمي تواند از گير اين سوال در برود ! اين همان چيزي است که شما مي خواهيد !
حال پنجره اي که براي شما باز شده ? منتظر جواب طرف مي شود تا به شما اطلاع دهد... اگر دوست شما به سوال جواب مثبت بدهد (که بعيد مي دانم) وارد کنفرانس شما و شما او را در ليست کساني که در روم (Room) مي شوند ميبينيد و قضيه به طور مسالمت آميز تمام مي شود... اما اگر جواب رد بدهد? در پنجره باز شده براي شما عبارتي مشابه : SEPEHR_MICROSOFT2000 is denyed your conferance ! Thanks But No Thanks مي آيد... البته مشابه اين است چون من دقيقا مطمئن نيستم کاملا همين عبارت ظاهر شود... در اينجا ID من را شما ملاحظه مي کنيد... اما وقتي شما آزمايش کنيد ID دوست شما در آنجا ظاهر مي شود... خب حالا از اين پيام متوجه مي شويد که طرف آنلاينه اما دعوت شما را نپذيرفته.... اما حالا بگم که ممکنه طرف آنلاين نباشه؛ در اين حالت پيام زير ظاهر مي شود :
sepehr_microsoft2000 is not available
آيا طرف مقابل شما در هنگام چت در ياهو شما رو Add کرده يا نه؟
اگه خواستين بفهمين کسي که باهاش چت مي کنين شما رو تو ليستش داره يا نه، به بالاي صفحه چتتون نيگاه کنين! اگر بين ID ايش و کلمه ي Instant Message دو تا دونه خط بودش يعني يه چيزي مثله:
mo_toori -- Instant Message
يعني طرف شما رو تو ليستش داره،‌ و اگر يدونه خط بود يعني نداره:
mo_toori - Instant Message
بايد آنلاين باشه طرف ها!!!
عوض کردن پسورد در ياهو
براي عوض کردن رمز عبورمراحل زير را انجام مي دهيم:
1-رفتن به سايت اصلي ياهو http://www.yahoo.com
2-به سايت ياهو وارد مي شويم در سمت چپ اين سايت لينکهايي به رنگ آبي وجود دارد روي کلمه My yahoo کليک مي کنيم.
3-بعد از اينکه وارد اين صفحه شديم در قسمت چپ صفحه ID و Password فعلي را وارد ميکنيم و بر روي sing in کليک مي کنيم
4- در بالاي صفحه اي که مي آيد روي گزينه Account Info کليک مي کني
