| Warren Beatty |
|
Warren Beatty was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1937. Brother to actress and fruit-loop Shirley Maclaine, Beatty began acting as a child and studied with renowned acting guru Stella Adler. After numerous film roles throughout the 60s, his break came with Bonnie And Clyde in 1967. Beatty won Oscar nominations for best actor and best film (as producer), and the anti-authoritarian film was seen as ushering in a new era of film making in Hollywood. He has gone on to direct and write films, although all his work in front of and behind the camera has tended to be overshadowed by his prodigious bedding of his co-stars. |

| Wesley Snipes |
|
Born in Florida in 1962, Wesley Snipes grew up in the Bronx and attended the High School for the Performing Arts. He was spotted by an agent in a talent competition and got his debut movie role in the American Football comedy Wildcats in 1986. Thereafter, he has appeared in many action films such as New Jack City, Passenger 57, Boiling Point, and US Marshals. However, Snipes is also an impressive actor and gave great performances in films such as Spike Lee's Jungle Fever, White Men Can't Jump and Rising Sun alongside Sean Connery. One film role that stands out is that of the "daywalker" vampire hunter Blade and Snipes also appeared in the sequel Blade II in 2002. |

| Will Smith |
|
Born in Philadelphia in 1968, Smith began his entertainment career as part of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, transferring his Fresh Prince alter ego in 1990 to a sitcom that seemed to run forever on NBC and BBC2. He became a movie star with Bad Boys (1995) and the mega-hits Independence Day and Men In Black. After achieving fame as an actor he resumed his music career with a popular brand of commercial hip-hop, seemingly in a bid to take over the world (he even tried to make the year 2000 known as the "Willennium"). He flopped by his standards in Wild Wild West and The Legend Of Bagger Vance before landing the title role in Michael Mann's immense Muhammad Ali biopic. |

| Winona Ryder |
|
Timothy Leary's god-daughter was born Winona Horowitz in 1971 and spent part of her childhood on a hippy commune. She dyed her blonde hair black for Lucas (1986) and never went back, boosting her profile with the superb Heathers in 1989 before suffering premature burn-out the following year - appearing in three films in 12 months, including Mermaids and Edward Scissorhands, meant she had to pull out of The Godfather Part III when she physically could not get out of bed. Unfortunately given her early potential, she has become less in demand as she has got older. When she and Johnny Depp split, he reportedly altered his famous tattoo simply by removing the "ona" from "Winona forever". |
