Enfant de la balle, Christian Slater naît le 18 août 1969 à New York dans une famille composée de Mary Jo Slater, une directrice de casting et productrice, de Michael Hawkins dont le vrai nom est Thomas Knight Slater, un acteur aussi connu sous le pseudonyme de Michael Gainsborough et de Ryan Slater, le demi-frère de Christian qui est également acteur. Dès lors, tout prédestinait le jeune Christian Slater pour une carrière artistique. Et c'est ce qu'il fît puisqu'après avoir fait sa scolarité à l'école Dalton, il entre à la Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Dès le début des années 80, Christian Slater monte sur les planches de Broadway aux côtés de Dick Van Dyke dans la comédie musicale The Music Man. Une première performance qui lui permet par la suite d'apparaître dans Copperfield, Merlin, Macbeth, Side Manou encore The Glass Menagerie.En 1985, Slater fait ses grands débuts sur le grand écran avec le rôle de Binx dans le drame de Matthew Robbins, The Legend of Billie Jean. Cependant, le film qui devait être un succès se révèle être un bide auprès du public. C'est finalement en 1986, grâce à sa formidable prestation face à Sean Connery dans Le Nom de la rose réalisé par Jean-Jacques Annaud, que la carrière de l'acteur américain prend son envol. Deux ans plus tard, Slater tourne pour le très respecté Francis Ford Coppola dans Tucker: L'Homme et son rêve. Après avoir connu une ascension fulgurante, la carrière de Christian Slater connaît le déclin dès le début des années 2000. L'acteur ne joue plus que dans des films qui sortent directement en DVD sans passer par la case cinéma et se contente de faire quelques apparitions dans des séries télévisées. On retrouve tout de même Slater dans quelques films dont Bobby d'Emilio Estévez, sorti en 2006. En 2011, Christian Slater se refait une petite santé en apparaissant aux côtés de Ray Liotta et Ving Rhames dans le thriller de Rich Cowan, The River Murders. Côté vie privée, Christian Slater a également connu le meilleur et le pire. Après plusieurs arrestations dans les années 90 pour abus d'alcool et plusieurs agressions qui l'ont menés à passer plusieurs mois en prison, il finit par revenir sur la bonne pente et épouse Ryan Haddon en 2000. Le couple accueille deux enfants. Cependant, en 2003, c'est au tour de Ryan Haddon d'avoir des démêlés avec le justice, puisqu'elle se fait arrêter à Las Vegas pour aggresion sur Christian Slater, son mari. Ils se séparent officiellement en 2005, année pendant laquelle l'acteur est à nouveau arrêté à New York pour avoir tenté d'agresser sexuellement une femme dans la rue. Le divorce avec Haddon est prononcé en 2007.

Offbeat funnyman Martin Mull was born in Chicago, Illinois, the oldest of three children, and raised in Ohio. The blond-maned, blue-eyed comedian with the sad, droopy mustache first came in contact with the arts by honing in on his innate talents as a painter. In order to pay his art school tuition, he started organizing bands. At around the same time, he discovered that stand-up comedy was another way to allow his creative juices to flow. Martin's early recognition as a humorist led to a recording contract, and, over the years, he would be Grammy-nominated several times for a number of eccentric comedy albums. His gimmick and allure came in the form of a dry, humorless delivery and a bland, highly conservative-looking demeanor, which masked a sly, witty and ultra-hip philosophy. Gaining popularity in the 1970s, he finally broke into TV with the cult soap opera parody "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" (1976) in which he played Garth Gimble, a volatile wife abuser whose comeuppance occurred in the form of an aluminum Christmas tree (impaled) in his home closet. Martin was so popular on the show that he was resurrected in the spin-off series "Fernwood 2 Night" (1977) as twin brother Barth Gimble, who was a co-host of the town's television program along with Fred Willard's Jerry Hubbard character. After this peak, Martin became a sought-after guest on the talk show circuit, not to mention variety specials and TV movies. He tried his hand at producing and starring in his own sitcom "Domestic Life" (1984) but the series failed. He also added his special brand of merriment to films over the years, some of them being decent, such as FM (1978), Serial (1980), Mr. Mom (1983) and Clue (1985) in the role of the tweedy-looking Colonel Mustard, while most have been either formula schtick or just plain drivel, as in Take This Job and Shove It (1981), Rented Lips (1988), which he produced and wrote, Cutting Class (1989), Far Out Man (1990) with Cheech & Chong, and Mr. Write (1994). Martin's first passion has always been art and the distinguished multi-media artist's work has been showcased in galleries throughout the world. He also authored the book "Painting, Drawing and World," which is a compilation of ten years of his work. Mull is married to a composer and musician, Wendy, and they have a daughter. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Gary Brumburgh

Shelley Winters, de son vrai nom Shirley Schrift, est une actrice américaine, née le 18 août 1920 à Saint-Louis (Missouri) et morte le 14 janvier 2006 à Beverly Hills (Californie). Elle a eu pour partenaires les plus grands acteurs du cinéma américain, notamment Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, William Holden ou encore James Mason. Ses parents s'installent à New York où Shelley grandit. Elle débute sur les planches comme amateur dans de petits théâtres tout en occupant des emplois subalternes. Elle tient des rôles mineurs dans des comédies à Broadway avant d'être remarquée puis engagée par la Columbia en 1943. Elle part ensuite à Hollywood où on la transforme physiquement pour répondre aux canons imposés par l'industrie du cinéma. À ses débuts, elle doit se contenter d'apparaître dans des productions mineures qui ne sont pas à la hauteur de ses attentes. Puis, elle décroche un rôle dramatique dans Othello de George Cukor en 1948. Grâce à ce rôle intéressant, son image se transforme alors que la Columbia tente de la maintenir dans le registre des «blondes sexy» pour concurrencer Lana Turner. Mais la Paramount Pictures a d'autres ambitions et l'embauche en 1949 dans Le Prix du silence (The Great Gatsby) d'Elliott Nugent, puis dans Une place au soleil de George Stevens (1951) où elle obtient l'année suivante sa première nomination aux Oscars. Par la suite, la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer la fait tourner dans La Tour des ambitieux de Robert Wise (1954). Sa reconnaissance comme comédienne est désormais acquise. Puis c'est la United Artists qui l'emploie dans La Nuit du chasseur de son ami Charles Laughton en 1955. Vers la fin des années 1950, elle revient au théâtre avant que George Stevens ne lui offre le rôle de Petronella Van Daan dans Le Journal d'Anne Frank en 1959 qui lui vaut sa seconde nomination aux Oscars et sa première récompense (Oscar de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle). Cet Oscar est aujourd'hui exposé dans la maison d'Anne Frank, au 263 Prinsengraght à Amsterdam. Dans les années 1960, elle poursuit brillamment sa carrière tant au théâtre à New-York avec le Group Theatre qu'au cinéma. Elle joue dans les pièces Un tramway nommé Désir et La Nuit de l'iguane de Tennessee Williams et Deux sur la balançoire de William Gibson. Ses choix au cinéma la conduisent vers John Frankenheimer pour Le Temps du châtiment (1961), Stanley Kubrick pour lequel elle incarne la mère bafouée de la célèbre Lolita (1962) ou Guy Green pour A Patch of Blue (1965) où elle obtient son second Oscar. La décennie suivante, elle obtient une nouvelle nomination en 1973 pour L'Aventure du Poséidon, film catastrophe de Ronald Neame. Elle tient ensuite divers rôles pour la télévision tout en continuant à tourner au cinéma jusqu'à la fin des années 1990. Elle meurt au début de l'année 2006 à l'âge de 85 ans. Shelley Winters possède son étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame au 1750, Vine Street. Dans son autobiographie Shelley, l'actrice révèle sa vie tumultueuse, ses amours avec Burt Lancaster, John Ireland et ses fiançailles avec Farley Granger. ...
