I was always disappointed she never worked with John Waters. I would have loved to have seen that.

For those who haven't had the pleasure, I highly recommend Diller's foray into utterly bizarre instrutional videos

Neil Armstrong. Not an actor, but someone who was captured in one of the world's most famous moments of film nonetheless.

Famous in my day job for an entirely different reason in that he always declined to approve any promotional uses of his image (including the footage of him on the moon), no matter how much money was offered. No exceptions; don't even bother to ask. I always admired him as much for that as for the other thing.

That's interesting, did he ever explain why? And wasn't he MTV's big promo back in their early days?

Nina Bawden, writer best known for her children's novel Carrie's War, twice adapted for BBC television. The cinema films The Solitary Child (1958) and On the Run (1968), the latter a Children's Film Foundation production, were based on her work.

Long active character actor Steve Franken.

His turn as the drunken waiter in Blake Edward's THE PARTY was fantastic.
