- Cute, perky, and engaging brunette actress Rebecca Balding was born on September 21, 1948, in Little Rock, Arkansas. The sweet, comely, and spirited Balding first began acting on television in the mid 1970s. She played an eager-beaver cub reporter on three episodes of Lou Grant (1977). She achieved her greatest and most enduring popularity as Carol David, the young lady who becomes a surrogate mother for gay Jodie Dallas' (Billy Crystal child on comedy program Soap (1977). She portrayed David Naughton's receptionist girlfriend in the sitcom Makin' It (1979). Balding tackled two substantial starring roles in a couple of hugely enjoyable early 1980s horror pictures: She was the endearingly spunky college student heroine of the superior slasher winner The Silent Scream (1979) and an equally likable damsel in distress in the immensely entertaining creature feature The Boogens (1981). Alas, her fright film scream queen phase proved to be sadly fleeting.
She racked up an impressively large volume of guest spot credits on numerous TV shows: Among the television programs she's appeared in are ER (1994), Melrose Place (1992), Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990), Home Improvement (1991), MacGyver (1985), Our House (1986), Family Ties (1982), Trapper John, M.D. (1979), Hotel (1983), Matt Houston (1982), Gimme a Break! (1981), The Insiders (1985), Cagney & Lacey (1981), This Is the Life (1952), I'm a Big Girl Now (1980), Supertrain (1979), Barnaby Jones (1973), The Bionic Woman (1976), and Starsky and Hutch (1975). She gave a touching performance as Edward Asner's estranged dejected daughter in the made-for-TV drama gem The Gathering (1977) and its lesser, more mawkish sequel, The Gathering, Part II (1979).
Late in her career, she popped up in a steady recurring part as Phoebe (Alyssa Milano)'s boss Elise Rothman on Charmed (1998). She was married to producer James L. Conway from 1981 until her death at 73 in 2022. She was also survived by two daughters. - Actress

Growing up during World War 2 in the then Japanese occupied Dutch colony of Indonesia, Lee learned much about life and survival at a young age. Educated in the Dutch school system, he cultivated his love of art, culture and music. He had a natural artistic ability that earned him much admiration from his fellow colleagues and friends. His medium of choice was oil, acrylic on canvas. Lee painted scenes of local villagers engaging in everyday activities nostalgic of a more peaceful time that appealed to many of his admirers. He married the love of his love, Helen Go on December 28, 1970 in Surabaya, Indonesia. Shortly after Helen gave birth to their daughter, Linda, the couple decided to make the move to America. Though an accomplished artist in his hometown, Lee wanted more for his family so at 40 years old in 1973, Lee sets out for Los Angeles with big ambitions and goals. With the help of his friends at the embassy, he was able to later secure visas for his wife and daughter to go with him back to Los Angeles where he had settled in Hollywood. Lee wasted no time looking for work as an artist and immediately made numerous connections. He began working for SetMakers, a company that specialized in creating painted plaques for McDonald's restaurants. He caught the eye of his employer when he painted murals of WW2 scenes. This secured his employment with SetMakers for the next 11 years as his inspirational WW2 murals inspired the company to do murals for the popular fast food chain. Lee moved his family from Hollywood to the San Fernando valley in 1976 where they achieved the American dream of buying their first home. Lee and Helen then had their son, Alan in 1981. With only 1 year left before Lee was eligible for his pension, SetMakers let him go. He did not let that discourage him from pursuing other artist work. Lee also trained and was employed as a mechanical illustrator. He freelanced for a little while before he began his animation career at Marvel Studios. Lee progressed from one animation studio to the next, leaving his mark as a background/prop artist up to his retirement in 1998 with Universal MCA. He retired a proud motion pictures union member. In 2003, Lee lost Helen to cancer but continues to honor the memory of his beloved wife with his artwork and loving devotion to his children and grandchildren.- Tanya Kersey was born on 22 March 1961 in New York City, New York, USA.
