Often described as "a young Meryl Streep" due to her versatility and tendency to steal all her scenes, French actress Laëtitia Eïdo shocked the world with her heart-wrenching performance as Shirin El-Abed, an embattled doctor caught in the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Netflix's highly acclaimed series, "'Fauda (2015)'."
Born and raised in France, to a French father and a Lebanese mother, her ambiguous ethnicity enables her to bring many different nationalities to life. Laëtitia has delivered award winning performances, including 5 Best Actress Awards, in more than 10 languages.
Her penchant for artistic endeavors began as a little girl, when she won several prestigious contests in both drawing and writing, with one of her creations being exhibited in the Eiffel Tower, as part of a worldwide professional design contest when she was just a teenager. Her love of acting came to light early as well, as she spent a good portion of her childhood putting on elaborate skits, readily transforming into all kinds of bold and dynamic characters.
Referred to by critics as a "standout actress," "the beating heart of Fauda's series," "sensual," and "fiercely funny," Laëtitia was classically trained in Paris and New York, from Peter Brook's to Jacques Lecoq's theater companies. She then immersed herself in the Meisner technique, which completely transformed her approach to acting.
Known for her intense, unforgettable, and emotionally evocative performances, Eïdo prepares meticulously for each role, leaving no detail untouched. Over the course of her career, Laëtitia has had many main and lead parts, most recently giving a stellar performance in the Apple TV+ French and English language series "'Liaison (2023)'," starring alongside Vincent Cassel and Eva Green. In 2024, Laëtitia will once again star with Eva Green in Martin Campbell's ("Casino Royale," "Goldeneye") next feature "Dirty Angels." She is also expected to appear in Terrence Malick's highly anticipated "'The Way of the Wind'," as well as alongside Aaron Eckhart in upcoming spy thriller "Chief of Station," in the independent Belgian film "The Virgin and child," and in the French timely action movie "Elyas" with Roschdy Zem.
Having the rare ability to flawlessly navigate between art-house films, action-packed series, and projects from major American studios, as well as being a regular on the theater circuit, Laëtitia remarked that, "acting for me is constantly delving into the mysteries of the human soul and finding the purest way to convey emotions as a healing channel for the audience."- Writer

Character player Alan Reed was a strong, gruff, burly presence on '40s and '50s film and TV but he would be best remembered for his equally strong, gruff, distinctive voice on radio and TV.

It is this direct association that continues to keep his name alive today. Reed himself thought up and introduced the Flintstonian catchphrase "Yabba dabba doo!" (improvised from a script calling for Fred to say "Yahoo!") for his beloved animated character to the delight of children everywhere.
Born Herbert Theodore Bergman on August 20, 1907 in New York City, to Jewish parents of Lithuanian/Ukrainian descent, he received his early education at Washington High School and studied theatre at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After majoring in journalism at Columbia University, he decided to pursue to acting at such places as Provincetown Playhouse and toured in vaudeville shows. He supplemented his income operating a candy factory and worked as a social director at a country club.
A master of over 22 foreign dialects, Reed also worked steadily on Broadway with the Theatre Guild. His vocal talents were well suited for radio, becoming a prime announcer for that medium. In addition to billing himself as Teddy Bergman, he sometimes was credited under the moniker Alan Reed for more dramatic parts, eventually settling in on the Reed name. Reed was featured on the best radio shows of the time including "The Shadow," "Crime Doctor," "Abie's Irish Rose," "The Life of Riley," "The Fred Allen Show," "Life with Luigi" (which he later took to TV), and "My Friend Irma."
Once in Hollywood, Reed deserted the Bergman name completely. Sporting a comic Runyonesque appeal, he played in such fare as The Redhead and the Cowboy (1951), Emergency Wedding (1950), and Here Comes the Groom (1951). His more dramatic roles came with The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) and The Desperate Hours (1955). One of his most unusual parts was his portrayal of Pancho Villa in Viva Zapata! (1952) starring Marlon Brando. He also supplied the voice of "Boris" in Disney's Lady and the Tramp (1955). Featured in many TV shows, the popular prehistoric cartoon and its various offshoots made up most of Reed's later work after The Flintstones (1960) premiered.
Long married to a former Broadway actress, Finette Walker, one of their three children, actor/producer Alan Reed Jr., entered show business as a teenager. Reed started billing himself as Alan Reed, Sr. to avoid any confusion. Working up until his death, Reed died in Los Angeles from heart disease and emphysema at age 69 on June 14, 1977. Reed's incomplete autobiography was extensively used to publish his son's own biographical tribute: Yabba Dabba Doo: The Alan Reed Story.- Hank Greenspan was born on 5 June 2010 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He is an actor and writer, known for The Neighborhood (2018), 13 Reasons Why (2017) and Alexa's Had It (2020).
