From Wikipedia Barbara Jo Allen (September 2, 1906 – September 14, 1974) was an actress also known as Vera Vague, the spinster character she created and portrayed on radio and in films during the 1940s and 1950s. She based the character on a woman she had seen delivering a PTA literature lecture in a confused manner. As Vague, she popularized the catch phrase "You dear boy!" Allen's acting ability first surfaced in school plays. Following her high school graduation, she went to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. Concentrating on language, she became proficient in French, Spanish, German and Italian. After the death of her parents, she moved to Los Angeles where she lived with her uncle. In 1937, she debuted on network radio drama as Beth Holly on NBC's One Man's Family, followed by roles on Death Valley Days, I Love a Mystery and other radio series. According to Allen, her Vera Vague character was “sort of a frustrated female, dumb, always ambitious and overzealous… a spouting Bureau of Misinformation.” After Vera was introduced in 1939 on NBC Matinee, she became a regular with Bob Hope beginning in 1941. Allen appeared in at least 60 movies and TV series between 1938 and 1963, often credited as Vera Vague rather than her own name. The character she created was so popular that she eventually adopted the character name as her professional name. From 1943 to 1952, as Vera, she made more than a dozen comedy two-reel short subjects for Columbia Pictures. In 1948, she did less acting and instead opened her own commercial orchid business, while also serving as the Honorary Mayor of Woodland Hills, California. In 1953, as Vera, she hosted her own television series, Follow the Leader, a CBS audience participation show. In 1958, she appeared as Mabel, the boss of the flight attendants, in Jeannie Carson's syndicated version of her situation comedy Hey, Jeannie! The program aired only six episodes in syndication. Allen's first marriage was to actor Barton Yarborough. They had one child together. In 1946, the couple co-starred in the two-reel comedy short, Hiss and Yell, nominated for an Academy Award as Best Short Subject. In 1931-32, Allen married Charles H. Crosby. In 1943, she married Bob Hope's producer, Norman Morrell. They had one child and were married for three decades, until her 1974 death in Santa Barbara, California.

Dominique Farrugia, né le 2 septembre 1962 à Vichy dans le département de l'Allier, est un réalisateur, acteur et producteur de cinéma français, devenu producteur dirigeant de la chaîne de télévision Comédie!. Il a fait partie du groupe d'humoristes Les Nuls et popularisa la troupe des Robins des Bois. Il est aussi réalisateur de six films de cinéma: trois comédies romantiques — Delphine 1, Yvan 0 (1996), L'amour, c'est mieux à deux (2010) et Sous le même toit (2017) — et trois buddy movies: Trafic d'influence (1999), Le Marquis (2011) et Bis (2015), dont deux avec Franck Dubosc. Sa mère a porté l'étoile jaune; son père est un Maltais catholique né à Tunis. Les parents de Dominique Farrugia, pieds-noirs, quittent l'Algérie lors de l'indépendance du pays, établie en 1962. Après quelques mois d'errance, ils s'établissent à Vichy, dans le département de l'Allier où son père devient chef d'orchestre au casino de la ville. Dominique y nait le 2 septembre 1962. Deux semaines plus tard, la famille part s'installer à Paris, au 43 rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette dans un appartement de 35 m2. Dominique y habite jusqu'à la fin des années 1980. Ses parents tiennent le bar-restaurant Le Verdier, qui a aujourd'hui disparu, son père en complément joue de la batterie et de l'accordéon dans des bals. En 1984, dès le lancement de la chaîne Canal+, Dominique Farrugia travaille dans le montage des bandes-annonces de la chaîne, et devient assistant de production de l’émission Tous en scène. Il rencontre ainsi le premier présentateur météo de la chaîne, Alain Chabat, d'origine pied-noir lui aussi. En 1986, Dominique Farrugia est le cofondateur du quatuor Les Nuls (avec Alain Chabat, Bruno Carette et Chantal Lauby). En 1987, il travaille à l’écriture de la série Objectif Nul, la première parodie du groupe Les Nuls (qui obtient le 7 d'or de la meilleure série). Il présente parallèlement une parodie de flash météo dans le JTN lors de l'émission Nulle part ailleurs en 1987-1988. Au départ, il ne souhaite pas jouer la comédie, mais seulement écrire les sketches. L’absence d’un des comédiens pour un épisode d’Objectif Nul l’a fortuitement placé devant la caméra. TVN 595, une émission spéciale des Nuls diffusée en novembre 1988, obtient le 7 d'or de la meilleure émission. La carrière des Nuls dure jusqu'en 1992, puis se prolonge au cinéma le 9 mars 1994 par la sortie du film des Nuls, La Cité de la peur, qui totalise 2 200 000 entrées en France. De juillet 1989 à 1995, sous les noms des deux héros de fiction Bidibi et Banban, il écrit avec Alain Chabat une chronique humoristique dans Studio, un magazine consacré au cinéma. Après la séparation du groupe, Dominique Farrugia se lance dans le cinéma en tant que réalisateur, avec notamment les films Delphine, Yvan 0 en 1995, et Trafic d'influence en 1999, dont les succès sont mitigés. Il devient producteur avec la société RF2K, qu'il a cofondée avec Olivier Granier. ... Source: Article "Dominique Farrugia" de Wikipédia en français, soumis à la licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.
