| Faye Dunaway |
|
One of the hottest actresses of the 70s, Faye Dunaway was born in Florida in 1941 and studied acting at Boston University. She shot to fame and an Oscar nomination, playing Bonnie Parker alongside Warren Beatty in the crime film Bonnie And Clyde. Thereafter, she appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair, Little Big Man and Chinatown, in which her on-set clashes with director Roman Polanski became the stuff of Hollywood legend. Dunaway won an Oscar in 1976, for her portrayal of a ruthless network-TV executive in the outrageous satire Network. Since then, she has continued to work steadily and even appeared in the 1984 "bomb" Supergirl. |

| Frank Sinatra |
|
Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra was born in New Jersey in 1915 and grew up in a tough neighbourhood. After becoming famous as a band singer, Sinatra made his film debut in 1941 in Las Vegas Nights. An untrained actor, he was always most successful in roles that mirrored his own character, appearing in musicals like Anchors Away and Out On The Town, before a vocal haemorrhage nearly ended his career. Sinatra fought back, getting a part in the 1952 film From Here To Eternity after offering to do the role for only $8,000. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance and went on to star in films like The Manchurian Candidate, Guys And Dolls and High Society. |

| Fred Astaire |
|
Born Frederick Austerlitz in Omaha, 1899. Fred and his sister Adele started dancing on stage together at the age of seven, and were stars of vaudeville the world over in the 20s. The partnership was broken in 1931 when Adele married - Fred then pursued a stellar Hollywood career. A magical dancer, Astaire insisted on being filmed full-figure, rather than using the camera tricks employed by his rivals - however he did reputedly have to curl his fingers to disguise his scarily big hands. Astaire's dance routines were always imaginative and innovative - he dances on the ceiling of a hotel room in 1951's Royal Wedding, predating Lionel Richie by a full 35 years. |
