Thomas James "Tommy" Tune (born February 28, 1939) is an American actor,
dancer, singer, theatre director, producer, and choreographer. Over the course
of his career, he has won ten Tony Awards, the National Medal of Arts and
has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Tune was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, to
oil rig worker, horse trainer, and restaurateur Jim Tune and Eva Mae Clark
along with his sister Gracey Tune. He
attended Lamar High
School in Houston and the Methodist-affiliated Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Texas. He
studied dance under Patsy Swayze in
Houston. He also studied dance with Kit Andree in Boulder, Colorado. He went on
to earn his Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Drama from the University of Texas at
Austin in 1962 and his Master of Fine Arts in
Directing from the University of Houston.
Tune later moved to New York to start his career. Tune stands a
lanky 6'6½" tall, and at first he found his height to be a disadvantage
when auditioning for roles, as he would tower over potential co-stars. He wore
horizontally-striped shirts to auditions, dipped extra low when he did pliés
and learned to dance upstage ("I'd look shorter that way. It's a law of
perspective") to try to overcome it. In 1965, Tune made his Broadway debut as a performer in the musical Baker Street. His first
Broadway directing and choreography credits were for the original production
of The Best
Little Whorehouse in Texas in 1978. His direction of Nine The Musical in 1982, which also won
the Tony for Best Musical garnered him his first Tony for direction of a
musical. He has gone on to direct and/or choreograph eight Broadway musicals.
He directed a new musical titled Turn of the Century, which
premiered at the Goodman Theatre in
Chicago on September 19, 2008 and closed on November 2, 2008. Dame Lesley
Lawson DBE (née Hornby; born 19 September
1949) is an English model, actress, and singer widely known by the
nickname Twiggy. She was a British cultural icon and
a prominent teenage model in swinging sixties London. Twiggy was initially known for
her thin build (thus her nickname) and the androgynous appearance considered to result from her big
eyes, long eyelashes, and short hair. She was named "The Face of
1966" by the Daily Express and
voted British Woman of the Year. By 1967, she had modelled in France,
Japan, and the US, and had landed on the covers of Vogue and The Tatler. Her fame had spread worldwide. After
modelling, Twiggy enjoyed a successful career as a screen, stage, and
television actress. Her role in The Boy Friend (1971)
brought her two Golden Globe Awards. In
1983 she made her Broadway debut in the musical, My One and Only, for
which she earned a Tony nomination
for Best Actress
in a Musical. She later hosted her own series Twiggy's
People, in which she interviewed celebrities; she also appeared as a judge
on the reality show America's Next Top Model.
Her 1998 autobiography Twiggy in Black and White entered the
best-seller lists. Since 2005, she has modelled for Marks and Spencer, most recently to promote their recent
rebranding, appearing in television advertisements and print media,
alongside Myleene Klass, Erin O'Connor, Lily Cole, and others. In 2012, she worked alongside
Marks & Spencer's designers to launch an exclusive clothing collection for
the M&S Woman range. Bruce Travis McGill (born July 11, 1950)
is an American actor. He is perhaps best known for his work with director Michael Mann in the movies The Insider (1999), Ali (2001), and Collateral (2004). McGill's other notable film roles
include Daniel Simpson "D-Day" Day in John Landis' Animal House, Com. Matuzak in Timecop, Reverend Larson in Shallow Hal, Gene Revell in The Sum of All Fears,
