Lindsay Dee Lohan was born in New York City, on 2 July 1986, to Dina Lohan and
Michael Lohan. She began her career at age three as a Ford model, and also made appearances in over sixty television commercials, including spots for The Gap, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, and Jell-O (opposite
Bill Cosby). Lohan made her acting debut in
1996 as the third actress to play Ali Fowler in the television drama
Another World (1964). Shortly
afterward she was hand-picked by Oscar-nominated writer
Nancy Meyers as estranged twin sisters in
an adaptation by Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by
Erich Kästner, which marked Meyers'
directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film,
The Parent Trap (1998), a remake
of The Parent Trap (1961), was a
modest commercial success, earning her widespread critical acclaim and
a Young Artist award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film,
as well as Blockbuster Entertainment and YoungStar award nominations.
After signing a three-movie contract with Disney, she returned to the
small screen to star in the made-for-TV movies
Life-Size (2000) (opposite
Tyra Banks) and
Get a Clue (2002) (opposite
Bug Hall). She also appeared as Rose in the
pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series
Bette (2000), which starred
Bette Midler.
In June 2001 Lohan took a brief hiatus from acting. Her music career
was launched over a year later, when Estefan Enterprises made a
five-album production deal with her in September 2002, and she signed a
recording contract with the reactivated Casablanca Records.
However, Lohan was not turning her back on her blossoming acting
career. Just over a month previously she had been cast opposite
Jamie Lee Curtis for another Disney
adaptation of a novel, this time a fantasy comedy by
Mary Rodgers.
Freaky Friday (2003), a remake of
Freaky Friday (1976), was a huge
hit (generating over $160 million in worldwide box office receipts) and
critics were spellbound by delightful performances from Lohan and
Curtis (who went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work).
In addition, Lohan won the 2004 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough
Female, as well as a Saturn award nomination and another Young Artist
award nomination.
Lohan relocated permanently to Los Angeles between projects and moved
into an apartment with fellow actress
Raven-Symoné. She also dated pop star
Aaron Carter for a short time.
Her next acting role was the title character in the comedy
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004),
a Disney adaptation of the novel by
Dyan Sheldon. The film received scathing
reviews upon its release and died a quick death at the box office, but
even the harshest of critics were impressed by Lohan's charming turn as
aspiring actress Lola.
Lohan's next project,
Mean Girls (2004), saw her reunite
with Freaky Friday (2003) director
Mark Waters. Inspired by a
non-fiction book by Rosalind Wiseman
and written by
Saturday Night Live (1975)
scribe Tina Fey, the high-school comedy-drama
opened to glowing reviews and grossed $86 million in the US. This
earned her status as a bankable actress, and a salary of $7.5 million
for the Donald Petrie romantic comedy
Just My Luck (2006).
One of the most sought-after young actresses in the industry, she
starred in Bobby (2006) (opposite
Demi Moore and
Sharon Stone), the Disney fantasy
adventure
Herbie Fully Loaded (2005) (a
pseudo-sequel to
The Love Bug (1969)) and the
critically acclaimed
A Prairie Home Companion (2006).
On top of a thriving film career Lohan also launched a music career,
releasing her debut album, "Speak," which hit shelves in December 2004.
In 2009 Lohan launched her own fashion line titled 6126, mainly
focusing on the production of women's leggings. By spring she launched
a self-tanning spray line titled "Sevin Nyne" and by the end of the
year she became an artistic designer for fashion house Ungaro.
Lindsay continues her career in acting, having played a supporting role
in the action film Machete (2010).- Actor

It would seem that 2004, the year of her 18th birthday, will be
remembered as pivotal for Emmy Rossum due to her appearance in two very
different films,
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
and
The Phantom of the Opera (2004).
Emmy's performance in the latter film gained her a Golden Globe
nomination.
Emmanuelle Grey Rossum was born in New York City, where she was raised
by her single mother, Cheryl Rossum, a corporate photographer (she has
only met her father a few times). Her mother is of Russian Jewish
descent and her father has English and Dutch ancestry. After passing an
audition at the Metropolitan Opera when she was 7 years old, Rossum
performed in more than 20 operas in six different languages at Lincoln
Center, alongside such figures as
Plácido Domingo and
Luciano Pavarotti. She was directed by
Franco Zeffirelli in "Carmen." She
left the opera when she entered her teenage years, as she had grown too
tall to perform as a child. Emmy also appeared in a Carnegie Hall
presentation of "The Damnation of Faust." She graduated from the Spence
School, a private institution in Manhattan, in 1996 and then earned a
high school diploma when 15 years old by taking online extension
courses offered by Stanford University (Education Program for Gifted
Youth). She later enrolled at Columbia University and studied art
history and French.
In a change of venue, Emmy created the role of Abigail Williams in the
daytime soap opera
As the World Turns (1956)
in 1997 and branched out in performances in the made-for-television
movies Genius (1999) and
The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000),
in which she played the title character as a young teenager. Other
television work included
Snoops (1999),
Law & Order (1990), and
The Practice (1997).
Emmy made her theatrical feature debut in the indie film
Songcatcher (2000), with her good
friend Rhoda Griffis, which won the
Special Jury Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance at the Sundance
Film Festival in January 2000. Rossum received an Independent Spirit
Award nomination in the category of Best Debut Performance for her
performance as an Appalachian orphan. She played an aspiring songwriter
(the title character) in the romantic comedy
Nola (2003). Cast as the ill-fated daughter
of a small-business owner in
Clint Eastwood's
Mystic River (2003), she projected
an aura of innocence that made her character's tragic death memorable
and heartbreaking. This was her first major studio film.
After six months of filming her role as the fresh-faced but highly
intelligent teenage damsel in distress
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
in Montreal, she returned to New York and screen-tested for the role of
Christine in
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
in full costume and makeup, and was finally selected for the part by
Andrew Lloyd Webber after singing
for him at his home. Although she was surprised to be chosen ahead of
many better-known and older actresses considered for the part, the
combination of her vulnerable, fragile beauty and fine, classically
trained singing voice ultimately proved that she was perfectly cast. In
preparation for the role, she took ballet classes for two months and
started polishing her singing. Emmy has commented that, in her approach
to acting, she draws heavily upon her own experiences, so she visited
locations in Paris and conjured up what she terms "past memories" to
draw upon in making her performance emotionally realistic. She stood on
the roof of the Opéra Garnier, where Christine sings "All I Ask of
You," and went underneath the opera house, where there is actually a
gloomy, dark lake. She studied Degas's paintings of ballerinas in the
Musée d'Orsay to learn how to stand like one.
Her next project Poseidon (2006) was a
mainstream effort, but since its release, she has been more true to
advice she obtained from Sean Penn
when making Mystic River (2003),
that she should be picky and only accept roles that are fun to do, such
as
Dragonball Evolution (2009).- Actress

- Pom Klementieff (born 3 May 1986) is a French actress. She was trained at the Cours Florent drama school in Paris and has appeared in such films as Loup (2009), Sleepless Night (2011) and Hacker's Game (2015). She plays the role of Mantis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Pom Klementieff was born in Quebec City, Canada, to a Korean mother and French-Russian father, who was working there as a consul with the French government. Her grandfather was painter Eugène Klementieff. Her parents chose the name "Pom" because it is similar in pronunciation to the Korean words for both "spring" and "tiger". Klementieff lived in Canada for one year before her family traveled extensively due to her father's job. They lived in Japan and the Ivory Coast, before settling in France.
Klementieff's father died of cancer when she was 5, and her mother had schizophrenia and was unable to care for children, so Klementieff was raised by her paternal uncle and aunt. Her uncle, whom she described as "like [her] second father", died on her 18th birthday, and her older brother committed suicide just seven years later, this time on her 25th birthday. Klementieff briefly attended law school after her uncle's death to appease her aunt but did not find the career path appealing. She also worked as a waitress and saleswoman in France. She started acting at age 19 at the Cours Florent drama school in Paris. A few months into her education, she won a theater competition that awarded her free classes for two years with the school's top teachers.
Klementieff's first professional acting job was the French independent film Après lui (2007), portraying the stepdaughter of the protagonist played by Catherine Deneuve. Filming for her scenes took three days. During one scene, Klementieff was supposed to push someone down a set of stairs but accidentally fell down the stairs herself, and director Gaël Morel kept that shot in the final film. Her first leading role was in Loup (2009), a French film about a tribe of reindeer herders in the Siberian mountains. During filming, Klementieff stayed in a camp, hours from the nearest village, where temperatures dropped well below zero. During filming she befriended nomads who lived there, worked with real wolves, rode reindeer, and swam with a horse in a lake.
Klementieff made her Hollywood debut in Spike Lee's Oldboy (2013), a remake of the South Korean film of the same name. She portrayed Haeng-Bok, the bodyguard of the antagonist played by Sharlto Copley. A fan of the original film, Klementieff heard about the part through Roy Lee, a producer with the remake, and took boxing lessons after learning the role involved martial arts. After showcasing her boxing skills during her audition, Lee asked her to go home and come back wearing a more feminine outfit and make-up, like her character in the film. She contributed some of her own clothes to the character's wardrobe, and trained three hours a day for two months for an on-screen fight with star Josh Brolin. Klementieff came up with the name Haeng-Bok, Korean for "happiness", herself after Lee asked her to research possible names for the character.
Klementieff moved to Los Angeles after Oldboy was filmed and began pursuing more Hollywood auditions. She continued taekwondo after the film, and has a purple belt as of the summer of 2014. Her next acting role was the film Hacker's Game (2015), in which she plays a hacker she compared to Lisbeth Salander from the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Klementieff used her boxing skills again in the film, and due to the movie's low budget, she had to do her own make-up and choose her own wardrobe. It was her idea to dye her hair purple for the role, to which the directors first objected but later acquiesced. She joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and appeared in the same role in the film Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). - Actor

Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson was born May 13, 1986 in London, England, to Richard Pattinson, a car dealer importing vintage cars, and Clare Pattinson (née Charlton), who worked as a booker at a model agency. He grew up in Barnes, southwest London with two older sisters. Robert discovered his love for music long before acting and started learning the guitar and piano at the age of four. He became a big cinephile for love of auteur cinema in his early teens and preferred to watch films rather than doing his homework. In his late teens and early twenties, he used to perform solo acoustic guitar gigs at open mic nights in bars and pubs around London where he sung his own written songs. Thinking about becoming a musician or going to university to study speech-writing, he never thought about pursuing an acting career and his drama teacher in school even advised him not to join the drama club because she thought he wasn't made for the creative subjects. But as a teenager, he joined the local amateur theatre club after his father convinced him to attend because he was quite shy. At age 15 and after two years of working backstage, he auditioned for the play 'Guys and Dolls' and he got his first role as a Cuban dancer with no lines. He got the lead part in the next play 'Our Town', was spotted by a talent agent who was sitting in the audience and he began looking for professional roles.
His first screen role was a small part in Vanity Fair (2004), but he'd been cut out of the final film and didn't know about it until he attended the premiere. The casting director felt so guilty for not telling him, that she got him the audition for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). He was lucky and succeeded in gaining the role of Cedric Diggory, which brought him to a wider audience at the age of 19 and he continued to star in mostly smaller British TV productions. Hollywood expressed only mild interest in him and he was still debating whether or not he wished to pursue acting. Throughout that period, Pattinson would occasionally send audition tapes for roles in America. One, for a rom-com, led to the opportunity for an in-person audition in Los Angeles. That audition did not pan out, but while in town he went in for another, with Thirteen (2003) director Catherine Hardwicke, for a part in what he understood to be an indie movie based on a low-profile book about a vampire. Being the last one out of 3000 male actors to audition for the part, the role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptations of the Twilight novels written by Stephenie Meyer brought him to unexpected worldwide stardom at age 22 and the five films between 2008 and 2012 grossed over $3.3 billion in worldwide receipts. Between the Twilight Saga films, he also starred in Remember Me (2010), Water for Elephants (2011) and Bel Ami (2012).
Pattinson's Twilight-era was surreal. He had been catapulted onto Hollywood's A-list as a heartthrob, but also experienced certain preconceptions about what he wanted - or was capable of doing - as an actor. That changed with an unexpected straight offer from auteur director David Cronenberg to star in Cosmopolis (2012), which he described as an eye-opening experience: It reminded him of his love for cinema, why he wanted to become an actor in the first place and solidified his foremost desire for the coming years to work with great filmmakers. With Pattinson being a big cinephile, he since then starred in mostly independent films from respected auteur directors, such as The Rover (2014), Maps to the Stars (2014), Life (2015), Queen of the Desert (2015) and The Childhood of a Leader (2015). His unrecognizable role as an explorer in the amazon jungle in The Lost City of Z (2016) from director James Gray brought him much critical acclaim. His transformation to a sleazy, manic conman in the gritty crime thriller Good Time (2017) earned a six-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and brought him a nomination for Best Actor at the Independent Spirit Awards. It was a major step for his transition into a character actor with incredible range, with critics calling his performance a revelation and career-defining. He starred in the western-comedy Damsel (2018) as a cowboy with sociopathic characteristics and played a convict sent to space for sexual experimentation in the psychological mystery drama High Life (2018) from acclaimed French auteur director Claire Denis. He returned to work with director David Michôd in The King (2019) and starred in the black-and-white fantasy-horror movie The Lighthouse (2019) from director Robert Eggers, which earned him his second Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor. In Netflix's The Devil All the Time (2020), Pattinson played a corrupt preacher preying on young girls.
He returned to mainstream films with a leading role in Christopher Nolan's time bending spy film Tenet (2020) and will star as the DC Comics superhero Batman in Matt Reeves' film The Batman (2022).- Actress

Described by top film critic Mark Kermode as an "unbelievably versatile" actor, Jamie Bell was born in 1986 in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England, UK, to Eileen
(Matfin) and John Bell, a toolmaker. He comes from a family of dancers
including his grandmother, mother, aunt, and sister. It was at his
sister's dance practices that he would stand outside the door and
imitate the movements of the dancers inside. At age six, he was
encouraged to step inside the door and, thus, his dance career began.
His own story parallels that of
Billy Elliot (2000) in that Jamie
kept his dancing a secret from his friends at school. His mother had
him when she was 16 and, unfortunately, he never knew his father.
When he met Stephen Daldry, director of
Billy Elliot (2000), Jamie adopted
him as his father. Once the word about his dancing got out, he was
harassed, but this only made him more determined to prove that dancing
wasn't just for girls. He has proven a lot by landing the title role of
Billy Elliot (2000), winning the
role in an audition that included more than 2,000 boys from the
northeast of England. His ensuing performance certainly justified the
selection since he has not only won the hearts of moviegoers all over
the world, he has also been nominated for and won a number of awards,
including a Best Newcomer Award and then a Best Male Performance at the
BAFTA awards.- Actress
