She stayed with the show from 1987-1991, during which she picked up some awards, including a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress in 1991.

Heche teamed with Tommy Lee Jones in the disaster flick Volcano (1997) and continued her rise with a well-reviewed turn as a presidential advisor in the political satire Wag the Dog (1997). In 1998, she co-starred as Marion Crane opposite Vince Vaughn in the remake of Psycho. The film got mixed reviews from media and some critics including Edward Guthmann of San Francisco Chronicle stated "Heche is so good, in fact, and so frisky and watchable in her role, that after her grisly demise in the shower you miss her for a long time".

In 1999, she played the skeptical daughter of a woman proposed as a candidate for sainthood in The Third Miracle. Heche wrote and directed the Emmy-nominated HBO movie If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000). Later that year, she was awarded the Women in Film Lucy Award, along with the rest of the creators and cast of If These Walls Could Talk and If These Walls Could Talk 2.

In 2004, Heche received an Emmy nomination for playing a drug-addicted mother who neglects her children in the Lifetime movie Gracie's Choice (2004). She starred alongside Nicole Kidman in the well-received independent film Birth and also appeared in a recurring role on the WB drama Everwood before returning to Broadway, where she was nominated for a Tony Award for a revival of Twentieth Century, starring opposite Alec Baldwin. She then took on a recurring role on Nip/Tuck in 2005 as an ex-mob wife and Witness Protection Program subject who requires plastic surgery. By the next fall, she was headlining her own primetime show, ABC’s dramedy Men in Trees where she starred as a transplanted New York author living in small town Alaska, which happens to be abundant with single men and few women. Men in Trees was canceled in May 2008, after a season shortened by the writer’s strike. She had the starring role in Spread, a sex comedy co-starring Ashton Kutcher released in 2009, which came out in a limited release and with negative reviews, however, Matthew Turney of View London wrote "There's also terrific support" from Heche.

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 12, 1982 to parents Gerald Thomas Hathaway, a lawyer, and Kathleen Ann, an actress who inspired her to follow in her footsteps.

At the age of 6 the family moved to Millburn, New Jersey .Anne Hathaway has two brothers, an older one, Michael, and a younger one, Thomas. Anne Hathaway is of mostly Irish and French ancestry, with distant Native American and German roots.

Actress Anne Hathaway had a wholesome start in Hollywood, establishing her strong screen presence with breakout roles in family fare "The Princess Diaries" (2001) and "Ella Enchanted" (2004), while many of her peers were getting far more attention for their rehab and party antics. But the well-grounded, well-educated Hathaway held focus on her career, evolving into impressively three-dimensional adult roles in widely heralded films "Nicholas Nickelby" (2002), "Brokeback Mountain" (2005) and the role which proved she could more than hold her own against the greatest talents, as well as carry a film herself - "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). Having proven her potential range and her flair for intelligent, feisty, and often unpredictably intense characters, Hathaway found herself with steady offers in both comedies and dramas and a promising career usually far from the tabloid spotlight.

In 2007, Hathaway took on the daunting role of portraying beloved English novelist Jane Austen in the fictionalized portrait of the author's early years, "Becoming Jane" (2007). But another successful comedy was on the horizon, with Hathaway co-starring opposite Steve Carell in the summer release "Get Smart" (2008).

Hathaway quickly rebounded from her personal trials with "Bride Wars" (2009), a comedy about best friends (Hathaway and Kate Hudson) who schedule their weddings on the same day and at the same location, New York's famed Plaza Hotel. Hathaway continued her romantic comedy streak by joining the ensemble cast of "Valentine's Day" (2010),

A year later, Archer played the Natalie Wood part in a TV-sitcom adaptation of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice.

After more than 15 years of work in mostly forgettable films, the attractive, dark-haired whispery-voiced Anne Archer rejuvenated her career as the sexy and sympathetic wife of Michael Douglas in Adrian Lyne's "Fatal Attraction" (1987), which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. She had landed her first screen lead in "Lifeguard" (1976), opposite Sam Elliott, and continued to work, alternating between TV and film, but it wasn't until "Attraction" that things began to change. Archer subsequently began appearing, usually as the steadfast spouse, in big-budget high-profile Hollywood features including "Patriot Games" (1992), "Body of Evidence" (1993) and "Clear and Present Danger" (1994). A change of pace role was her turn as Angelina Jolie's alluring mother in the independent feature "Mojave Moon" (1996), followed by a pair of thankless roles in the military legal drama "Rules of Engagement" (2000) opposite Tommy Lee Jones, and the action thriller "The Art of War" (2000) opposite Wesley Snipes.

AnnaSophia Robb Biography

Name : AnnaSophia Robb

Date of Birth : 8 December 1993, Denver, Colorado, USA

Birth Place : Denver, Colorado

Height : 5' 2" (1.57 m)

Occupation : Actress, model

Born on December 8, 1993, AnnaSophia’s first love wasn’t always acting. She competed in dance competitions and gymnastics for 5 years and even won an Irish dancing award when she was seven years old! She quit to focus her full attention on acting but still loves to dance in her spare time. The first time she performed was at age five on the stage of her church in hometown Denver Colorado!

For some actors a career in film seems to be in the cards from the very beginning; such was the case with early bloomer AnnaSophia Robb. The only child of an architect and an interior designer, Robb knew from the age of five that she was destined for a career as an entertainer. A Denver, CO native who never wavered in her determination to succeed, Robb convinced her parents to let her take an acting class before setting out on her first round of L.A. auditions in 2003. It was during this time that her new manager and agent team would help young Robb successfully navigate the Hollywood audition scene, her family living in a modest guest house as her father worked and her mother took Robb to auditions during the daytime hours. By the end of the summer, Robb had attended no less than 42 auditions and had landed her first role as a Bratz-loving Happy Meal fan in a McDonald's commercial.

With a maturity and on-screen presence well beyond her age, teen actress AnnaSophia Robb built up an impressive resume in a very short amount of time - something few other child actors had managed to do. Starring in her first feature film, "Because of Winn-Dixie" (2005), at the age of nine, Robb proved she had a natural on-screen charm. Whether starring in the imaginative family film "Bridge to Terebithia" (2007) or appearing opposite Academy Award-winning actresses Hilary Swank in "The Reaping" (2007), or Charlize Theron in "Sleepwalking" (2008), Robb showed that she could hold her own on the big screen, securing a spot as one of Hollywood's talented young actresses to watch.

Profession: Actress; model

AnnaLynne McCord Relationships:

Angel McCord - Sister

Rachel McCord - Sister

Kellan Lutz - Ex-significant Other

Dominic Purcell - Significant Other

It’s a little shocking that one of TV’s most promising pieces of eye candy was homeschooled in a small town outside of Atlanta and has a pastor for a father. An upbringing like that usually leads to a life of Leave It To Beaver-esque domestic bliss. But AnnaLynne McCord has always walked her own path.

Her first taste of acting came at age nine, when she won a part with her community theater. She loved the spotlight and was a natural on stage. So much so, in fact, that AnnaLynne won her local “Actors, Models and Talent Competition” at 15. First prize was a modeling contract in Miami. Sounds like a tough gig.

She made her screen acting debut at about the same time in the independent horror film The Middle of Nowhere (2002), which, though it was never released to theaters, played at film festivals. A few years later she played a small role in the box office hit Transporter 2 (2005), then began landing guest appearances on popular series such as The O.C., Ugly Betty, Cold Case, Greek and CSI: Miami.

McCord currently stars as Naomi Clark in the CW drama 90210. Well-known for her role as the scandalous and deviant Eden Lord in the award-winning drama Nip/Tuck, McCord has made the transition to the big screen with lead roles in major motion pictures such as The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) and Fired Up (2009).

Anna Wintour Biography

NAME: Anna Wintour

OCCUPATION: Editor

BIRTH DATE: November 03, 1949 (Age: 62)

EDUCATION: North London Collegiate School

PLACE OF BIRTH: London, United Kingdom

Magazine editor. Born on November 3, 1949, in London, England, to newspaper editor Charles Wintour and philanthropist Elinor Wintour. Anna Wintour has become an international fashion icon in her role as editor-in-chief of the highly influential Vogue magazine. She is known for her oversized dark glasses, high heels, sharp bob hairstyle, and icy demeanor.

Born into a family with considerable wealth, Wintour demonstrated a tendency to do things her own way at an early age. As a teenager she made the decision to forgo academics, dropping out of her fancy finishing school and opting instead for a life that revolved around the tony London life of the 1960s that she so clearly adored. With her signature hairstyle—she first went to the bob at the age of 15 and has changed it very little since then—Wintour frequented the same London clubs of pop culture's biggest stars, including members of the Beatles and Rolling Stones.

Anna Wintour is the daughter of Charles Wintour, former Editor of the Evening Standard. She started her career in 1970, working in the fashion department at Harpers & Queen in London. Six years later, she joined its sister New York publication Harper's Bazaar as its Fashion Editor. After a stint as Senior Editor at New York magazine, controlling the title's fashion and lifestyle coverage, Wintour was named Creative Director of American Vogue in 1983. British Vogue hired her back as Editor in Chief for two years. In 1988, she rejoined American Vogue as Editor-in-Chief and in that capacity, has helped raise over $10 million for AIDS charities since 1990.

That year was generally difficult, as the economy worsened. After ruffling feathers at Milan's shows in February, the April issue's cover image of LeBron James and Gisele Bündchen brought criticism for its evocation of racial stereotypes. The next month a lavish Karl Lagerfeld gown she wore to the Met's Costume Institute Gala was called "the worst fashion faux pas of 2008."

In 2009, Wintour began making more media appearances. On a 60 Minutes profile, she said she would not retire. "To me this is a really interesting time to be in this position and I think it would be in a way irresponsible not to put my best foot forward and lead us into a different time.
