Trivia: A scant three months after her grandfather, author Ernest Hemingway, took his own life with a shotgun, Mariel Hemingway came into the world. By the time Mariel was ready to launch her career, it appeared as though she would remain in the shadow of two famous relatives: her grandfather Ernest, and her older sister, model Margaux Hemingway, who was just about to star in her first feature film, Lipstick (1976). As the publicity hounds sought out Margaux for interviews and photo ops, Mariel quietly took a supporting role in her sister's first starring vehicle. Within a few years, Margaux was out of the movie-star race, but Mariel had only just begun, co-starring as Woody Allen's teenaged lover in Manhattan (1979). Oscar-nominated for her natural, relaxed performance in the Allen picture, Mariel followed this triumph with the role of a lesbian athlete in Personal Best. Thereafter, Mariel couldn't seem to stay out of the headlines: she underwent a well-publicized session of cosmetic surgery and breast enhancement to portray the unfortunate Playboy centerfold Dorothy Stratten in Star 80, then caused blue-nosed media monitors to have palpitations by appearing in the nude (actually appearing to be appearing in the nude) in an episode of the TV lawyer series Civil Wars. She worked steadily throughout the '80s and '90s appearing in projects as diverse as Creator, Delirious, Falling From Grace, and appearing on the sitcom Roseanne. She reteamed with Woody Allen in 1997's Deconstructing Harry, and had major roles in Little Men and The Sex Monster. She appeared in a series of yoga instructional videos in the 21st century, and acted in The Golden Boys and Archie's Final Project on which she also served as co-Executive Producer.

Trivia: Best remembered for playing Eddie in Eddie & the Cruisers (1983) and its sequel, Eddie & the Cruisers 2: Eddie Lives! (1989), Michael Pare makes his living appearing in B-movies and straight-to-video actioners. The Brooklyn-born Pare started out as a New York Culinary Institute-trained sous chef and then a model. He started acting at a friend's suggestion and studied under Uta Hagen and Marvin Nelson. His first break came from playing tough student Tony Villicana on the adventure/comedy series The Greatest American Hero (1981). This led to the leading role in the made-for-television film Crazy Times (1981). Following his work in Eddie & the Cruisers, Pare starred in The Philadelphia Experiment (1984). His shot for major movie stardom came from director Walter Hill, whose own career was taking off following the success of his Eddie Murphy vehicle 48 Hrs. (1982). Hill cast Pare in the lead of Streets of Fire (1984). The director had originally meant for it to be the first of an action trilogy starring Pare, but the film failed at the box office. Subsequently Pare became the star of numerous low- and medium-budget features and the occasional made-for-cable television movie. In 1987, he starred in the short-lived television series Houston Knights. He reappeared in a big-budget feature, Village of the Damned, in 1995, but despite it's fairly big-name cast, it was unsuccessful, and Pare returned to B-movies such as Raging Angels (1995) and Bad Moon (1996).
