Trivia:
Leading man and sex symbol, Selleck has a gentle, humorous manner. He attended college on an athletic scholarship, majoring in business. A drama coach suggested he become an actor; soon he began making the rounds of auditions. He won a part in the disastrous film Myra Breckinridge (1970), his screen debut, then appeared in small roles in a handful of films during the '70s. Meanwhile, Selleck was signed to a seven-year contract with Fox, leading to a great many TV roles, including appearances as a recurring character on the TV series "The Rockford Files." Eventually he was chosen as the lead for the TV series "Magnum P.I.;" the show became a hit, staying on the air from 1980-88, and he became a star and sex symbol, winning an Emmy, a Golden Globe award, and a star on Hollywood Boulevard. He suffered a serious career setback in 1981, when he was chosen to star in the Lucas-Spielberg blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark, but couldn't get released from his TV responsibilities. Beginning in 1983 he tried to break back into films, finally landing a major hit in a co-starring role in Three Men and a Baby (1987); although he appeared in a dozen films after 1983 he never firmly established himself as a screen star. He has also been active as a TV producer. He is married to English dancer Jillie Mack.

Trivia:
Natty, mellifluous character actor John Hillerman may have spoken on screen with a pure Mayfair accent, but he hailed from Denison, Texas. Hillerman first gained notice for his fleeting appearances in the films of Peter Bogdanovich: The Last Picture Show (1971), What's Up Doc (1973), At Long Last Love (1975). He was also a semi-regular for director Mel Brooks, prominently cast in Blazing Saddles (1975) and History of the World, Part I (1981). A veteran of dozens of television series, John Hillerman was cast as the insufferable criminologist Simon Brimmer on Ellery Queen (1975), the star's director (and ex-husband) in The Betty White Show (1975), and most memorably as the ultra-correct Jonathan Quayle Higgins II, major domo to never-seen mystery writer Robin Masters, on Magnum PI (1980-88).

Trivia:
Born Signe Larsson, she was billed "Signe Lars" in Sweden. She began working on the Swedish stage at age 13, and by her late teens was appearing in Swedish films, in which she was active in starring roles until 1940. At the outbreak of World War Two she emigrated to the U.S., going on to appear as strong-willed leads in Hollywood films of the '40s; she became an American citizen in 1948. Hasso worked on stage, screen, and TV in both the U.S. and Europe. Later, she was most active as a guest-star in TV dramas. She has also been a successful professional writer, having written many articles, short stories and books published in Sweden. She also writes music and lyrics in English, German, and Swedish. One of her English lyric credits is the album Scandinavian Folk Songs Sung & Swung (by singers Alice Babs and Svend Asmussen), which was honored as "Best European Recording Achievement of the Year." In 1972 the King of Sweden awarded her The Royal Order of Vasa, with the rank of Knight First Class -- the equivalent of the English knighthood.
