This latterly white-haired Canadian character actor had a natural predilection for portraying historical figures. Kenneth Welsh was born in Edmonton, Alberta. After college he studied drama at the National Theatre School in Montreal. He then acted on the Shakespearean stage in Ontario for several years before making his screen debut for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1963. His early TV appearances displayed a natural affinity for period drama with appearances in Henry V (1966), The Great Detective (1979), The Three Musketeers (1969) (starring as D'Artagnan) and F.D.R.: The Last Year (1980) (as Thomas E. Dewey). As his accomplishments grew, he became more prolific: by the mid-80s, Welsh found himself in increasing demand as supporting player in mainstream U.S. TV shows like Spenser: For Hire (1985), The Twilight Zone (1985) and The X-Files (1993). Ultimately, the role for which he became best known was that of Windom Earle, the ex-FBI agent and partner of Dale Cooper in David Lynch's iconic series Twin Peaks (1990). Until his untimely passing in May 2022, the ever versatile Welsh continued to amass numerous TV and movie credits, alternating appearances in both the U.S. and Canada, his distinguished looks ideally suited to high ranking authority figures: General Harry Crerar in Dieppe (1993), Lord Beaverbrook in Above and Beyond (2006), Harry S. Truman in Hiroshima (1995) and (latterly) Admiral Senna Tal in Star Trek: Discovery (2017). On the big screen his many roles have included the (fictional) erstwhile Vice-President of the U.S. Raymond Becker in the apocalyptic science fiction drama The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and Dr. Jeff Wagner in Marvel's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Among Welsh's other sci-fi credits have been The Outer Limits (1995) (Dr. Vazquez), Stargate: Atlantis (2004) (Jamus) and The Expanse (2015) (as the sympathetic Earth ambassador to Mars Franklin DeGraaf).
Welsh was awarded Canada's equivalent of the Emmy, the Gemini Award, on four occasions (1988, 1990, 1992 and 1998), among a total of six nominations. In October 2003, he received further honours by becoming a Member of the Order of Canada.- Kevin Samuels was born on 13 March 1965 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He was an actor, known for Atlanta (2016), Intellectual Scum (2015) and Future: Worst Day (2022). He was married to ???. He died on 5 May 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
- Abandoned by an alcoholic father, red-haired, dimple-cheeked Faye Marlowe was born in a Salvation Army Home for Unwed Mothers near the 20th Century Fox lot in Los Angeles. Luckily for her, she was soon adopted by acclaimed vaudevillian Fanchon and her husband, the restaurateur William Simon. Doted on by her adoptive parents, Faye was educated at Beverly Hills High School and then studied arts and drama at Los Angeles University High School, graduating in 1943. By the time she was spotted by a 20th Century Fox talent scout, she had already won two diving and swimming awards, had taken up ice skating to become "Pan-Pacific Ice Queen" and was considered an expert student at the Los Angeles Riding Academy. Alas, her Hollywood tenure was all-too brief, spanning a mere decade, from 1945 to 1955. Faye's screen debut, as the murderer's girlfriend in John Brahm's stylishly evocative film noir Hangover Square (1945) also became the role for which she is now best remembered. Brahm directed Faye again in her penultimate movie, The Thief of Venice (1950), an Italian-American costume drama, which, though colourful, was pure hokum. In between, Faye had four substantial roles in the female lead role: an entertaining George Seaton comedy entitled Junior Miss (1945) (based on a Broadway play); in The Spider (1945), a murder mystery set in the New Orleans French Quarter, as a carnival clairvoyant, who, fearing for her life, hires tough gumshoe Richard Conte; as a wartime pilot's pregnant wife in Johnny Comes Flying Home (1946); and (on loan to Republic) in Rendezvous with Annie (1946), a marital comedy co-starring Eddie Albert. After this, Faye's career began to sputter. She made a few more appearances in anthology television before quitting the scene in 1955, later remarking "I don't think my departure upset anyone."
Faye adopted two daughters and later travelled to Europe, variously residing in France, Italy and England. In 2014, she returned to the U.S., to live out her remaining years in Cary, North Carolina. As Faye Hueston she published her third book, the autobiographical 'Fanchon's Daughter', that very year. - Ineke Veenhoven was born on 28 January 1934.
