Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Arlington, a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C. Her mother, Helga Bullock (née Helga Mathilde Meyer), was a German opera singer. Her father, John W. Bullock, was an American voice teacher, who was born in Alabama, of German descent. Sandra grew up on the road with her parents and younger sister, chef Gesine Bullock-Prado, and spent much of her childhood in Nuremberg, Germany. She often performed in the children's chorus of whatever production her mother was in. That singing talent later came in handy for her role as an aspiring country singer in The Thing Called Love (1993). Her family moved back to the Washington area when she was adolescent. She later enrolled in East Carolina University in North Carolina, where she studied acting. Shortly afterward she moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage. This led to acting in television programs and then feature films. She gave memorable performances in Demolition Man (1993) and Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993), but did not achieve the stardom that seemed inevitable for her until her work in the smash hit Speed (1994). She now ranks as one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood. For her role in The Blind Side (2009) she won the Oscar, and her blockbusters The Proposal (2009), The Heat (2013) and Gravity (2013) made her a bankable star. With $56,000,000, she was listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the highest-paid actress in the world.- Actress

Zac Hanson is the youngest member of Hanson, and has been performing on stage since he was seven. He and his brothers took the world by storm in 1997 with their first commercial album, "middle of nowhere", and Zac was widely regarded as the zany, humourous one of the group. His antics always amused the audience as well as his brothers. After performing around their home town for years, Zac and his brothers finally took things a step up, and set out to find a record producer, who could land them a record contract. According to them, the moment they were heard, they were practically signed. But for Zac and his brothers, this came as no surprise - performing around Tulsa since a very young age, having released two independent albums hitherto "middle of nowhere" and having the right stage chemistry to win the hearts of all members of the audience, fame seemed inevitable for Zac and his brothers. After the release of "middle of nowhere", they took a break from the spotlight for a year and, in 1999, the world had *NSYNC, Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, and Hanson were determined to be different from the bubblegum pop that was now dominating the world. "This time around" demonstrated a very mature approach to music by Hanson, and they were more confident in their abilities than in "middle of nowhere" - the album was almost too mature for them, and was met with lukewarm response around the world, because people were now accustomed to *NSYNC. Zac and his brothers have a new album due out in early 2003 and only time will tell whether it is a smash like "middle of nowhere" - But, regardless of the success of the album, Zac will always have an unequivocal place in music history.- Actor

- In the 1950s Richard Cutting derived fame as "Manners," a tiny butler in a Bowler derby hat in a series of commercials for Kleenex Napkins. By trick photography he appeared to be about only inches in height and would manifest under a dinner table in a traditional butler's cutaway. A paper napkin was always slipping off the lap of a diner, giving Manners the opportunity, after a polite "ahem," to inform the guest of the non-slip benefit of the Kleenex napkin.

Carlo Corazon was born in Virginia, but grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut. As a child growing up in the 'projects' (as they were called) he put on plays starring his younger brothers and sister then charged his parents to attend. You could see even as child Carlo was torn between artistic values and monetary values. As a teenager he filmed his younger siblings football games and then would help edit and score a highlight reel with his Mom (Martha) for the season's banquet finale.
In junior high school Carlo was in charge of the stage lighting for the plays while starring in sports. In high school, he lettered and starred in both Varsity football and baseball. He also took a class on 'stagecraft' learning the art work and stage design for theatre. Between working and sports, on the outside Carlo's life appeared to be on the up and up, though in his time off he would journey into the darker side of life as a teen.
By the early 1980s, Carlo's son was born. That was a profound moment in his life. It was also a quick dose of reality for the athletic and creative genius/problem child (one minute a star - the next minute a husband and father) but it may have saved his life. Life on the streets as a thug can take its toll on one's health and did for some of Carlo's partners in crime. He saw a few friends and acquaintances pass. It also took a toll on his marriage. He and first wife Laurie divorced after three years. Working in a 'dead end' job and just unhappy with his life's direction, he started playing football again in a Fairfield County league with one of his best friends where he not only starred, but helped lead his team to several titles. Unfortunately a knee injury ended any chance of him playing anymore or possibly going further with football (American).
By 1986, he looked towards the theatre and within days after signing on into an acting class in Bridgeport, Connecticut he found himself co-starring in a version of the Sam Sheppard play 'True West'. That helped him land his first role in film as 'The Jogger' for an independent film called 'Beyonder' by Mike Leoce. This eventually led him to a follow up role in 'The Game' written and directed by David Prank. It was while filming the 'Beyonder' that one of the female leads introduced him to his acting mentors; Rick Poole and Kathryn Gately at a Theatre Row acting studio inside the Nat Horne Theatre in NYC. There he also took dance classes from greats like Nat Horne, and Anna Sokolov. Poole and Gately worked at the Neighborhood Playhouse prior to opening their own studios and were arguably two of the best disciples of Sandy Meisner in NYC at the time. At the same time he competed in a modeling pageant from which the likes of Patrick Dempsey emerged. This gave Carlo the opportunities he needed to land on a Soap Opera in Manhattan, then several other print and film opportunities in New York then Los Angeles (ie:Structure, calendars, film and TV). A good friend who was the Vice President of the 'Stephen Nichols' fan club, offered to be President of Carlo's fan club. Her name is Jodi Davidowski. Unfortunately for the world Jodi is no longer with us. She passed away in 2004 from a brain tumor. Her kindness, and friendship will be missed by a lot of people, especially by Stephen and Carlo.
Traversing coasts and once in Los Angeles he wandered through agents, managers, and auditions landing several roles and working night owl jobs like bartending at the 'Red Onion' and private dancing. In 1993 he and his business partner, photographer Dean McKeever decided to put together a female swimsuit calendar called 'The Supercalendar' that featured the likes of 'Gena Lee Nolin' (see photo gallery) just prior to her fame and fortune. Other photographers that helped out on the project were; Chris Shay, Brent Schafer, Denice Porter, and Jimmy Pickering.
In 1995, Carlo co-produced, wrote, directed, and starred in a movie for television, which aired on a Cox Communications cable channels in early 1997 and which co-starred his friend actor Richard Dino (From Dusk 2 Dawn) also featuring several family members (including a photo of his son).
In March of 1996, Carlo attended the 'Academy Awards and Governor's Ball' with Richard Dino and the two headed to the Vanity Fair party at Morton's on Melrose and Robertson in Beverly Hills where he ran into a former classmate from New York who was starring in a sitcom.
By the summer of 1998, his son chose a prestigious 'East Coast' school to do his undergrad degree. It was at that time Carlo also met his soul-mate and second wife Mariana. She is from the Palermo Hollywood area in the Capital, Buenos Aires, Argentina and is over 15 years his junior. They currently reside in the 'Sand Canyon' area of Santa Clarita in Los Angeles county with their 'Yorkie' named 'Anush'. The three spend a lot of time at the home of Mariana's Mom - Ana, and relax by playing golf and vacationing to Argentina visiting Mariana's family and friends or heading back east to visit Carlo's Mom-Martha and his son M1ke.
Though not completely giving up the 'acting bug' Carlo is currently pursuing an executive career. After holding the position of President of his privately owned corporation; Sidustar International, Inc. he is now a Vice President with the number one emergency and rapid mass notification company in the world; the National Notification Network (3nonline.com). He also received his M.B.A. online as an honorary degree from Almeda University for his contributions in communications and technology. Still he is quick to say that he's not the executive star of the family. That title belongs to his son Michael, who received his MBA in May (2005) from UCONN's graduate school in Stamford, Connecticut, and had also received his Bachelor of Science from Fairfield University in Southern Connecticut in 2002. Michael was also invited to be a member of the prestigious club, 'Mensa International', an intellectual society.- Actress

A native Texan - born and raised in the Dallas Metroplex - Scarlett is the older sister of Patrick and Molly, and the daughter of Steve and Linda McAlister. Her large extended family are some of Scarlett's biggest supporters and fans. At age 8, Scarlett followed the footsteps of her mother - a former jockey - and took her first riding lesson. By age 17, Scarlett had earned notoriety as a successful horse trainer and riding instructor. In addition to her job as an instructor/trainer, she volunteered for T.R.O.T., an organization that enables mentally and physically handicapped children to gain confidence and physical strength through closely supervised horseback riding. And all that while, she was competing in equestrian events throughout the Southern U.S., earning numerous trophies, ribbons and other awards.
When Scarlett was 15 she auditioned for a role with a local Murder Mystery/Dinner Theatre group. Despite having no prior acting experience, she landed that role (and many others afterward), and what began as a whim and a hobby soon became a career commitment. After receiving encouragement and praise from well-known casting director, Jo Edna Boldin, Scarlett began auditioning for film and television roles. At the same time, her mother Linda, no stranger to the entertainment industry (her own father is a theater owner), decided that in order to help Scarlett land auditions, she should become licensed as an agent. Linda McAlister Talent was launched in 1994, and is today one of Texas' most respected agencies, representing professional, well-trained film and television actors. And although Linda treats Scarlett exactly as she does her other talent, she does admit that Scarlett is one of her most sought-after actors.
Now, with more than 40 film and television roles, and over 250 commercials, industrials, print ads and voice-overs to her credit, Scarlett has gained considerable respect in the acting community. Like most committed actors, she continuously works on improving her craft by taking ongoing acting classes as well as frequently participating in industry seminars and educational events.
While living in Texas, Scarlett was a dedicated professional in the equestrian field. As proprietor of McAlister Harris Performance Horses, she developed, trained, and coached a team of exceptional riders and horses. With the assistance of younger sister Molly, they proudly attended many equestrian competitions and events with MHPH's talented group of riders.
She now resides in the Los Angeles, California area with her husband Chris Harris, an SMU graduate and Information Technology professional. Together they have a 225lb English Mastiff named Angus and look forward to owning a larger home to accommodate the pot-bellied pigs, ferrets, horses, cats, dogs, birds, (and someday) children, that will surely follow.- Actress
