Tough, virile, wavy-haired and ruggedly handsome with trademark forlorn-looking brows that added an intriguing touch of vulnerability to his hard outer core, actor Howard Duff and his wife-at-the-time, actress Ida Lupino, were one of Hollywood's premiere film couples during the 1950s "Golden Age". Prior to that, Duff had relationships with a number of the cinema's most dazzling leading ladies, including Ava Gardner (just prior to her marriage to musician Artie Shaw) and Gloria DeHaven.
Duff's talent first manifested itself on radio as Dashiell Hammett's popular private eye "Sam Spade" (1946-1950), and eventually extended to include stage, film and TV. While never considered a top-tier movie star and, despite his obvious prowess, never considered for any acting awards, Howard Duff was an undeniably strong good guy and potent heavy but perhaps lacked the requisite charisma or profile to move into the ranks of a Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas or Robert Mitchum. His career spanned over four decades.
His full name was Howard Green Duff and he was born in Bremerton, Washington on November 24, 1913. Growing up in and around the Seattle area, he attended Roosevelt High School where he played basketball. It was here that he also found an outlet acting in school plays and, following graduation, studied drama. He eventually became an acting member of the Repertory Playhouse in Seattle. Military service interrupted his early career and he served with the U.S. Army Air Force's radio service from 1941 to 1945. Upon his discharge, he returned to his acting pursuits and won the role of "Sam Spade" on NBC Radio in the role Humphrey Bogart made famous in The Maltese Falcon (1941). Lurene Tuttle played his altruistic secretary "Effie" on the series. He eventually left the program when his film career settled in and Stephen Dunne took over the radio voice of the detective in 1950 for its final season.
Duff's post-war movie career started completely on the right foot at Universal with the hard-hitting film noir Brute Force (1947), in which he received good notices as an ill-fated cellmate to Burt Lancaster, Charles Bickford and others. Quite well-known for his radio voice by this time, he was given special billing in the movie's credits as "Radio's Sam Spade". This was followed by equally vital and volatile performances in the prescient semi-documentary-styled police drama The Naked City (1948) and in Arthur Miller's taut family drama All My Sons (1948) starring Lancaster, again, and Edward G. Robinson.
After such a strong showing, Howard career went into a period of moviemaking in which his films were more noted for its entertainment and rousing action than as character-driven pieces. A number of them were routine westerns that paired him opposite some of Hollywood's loveliest ladies: Red Canyon (1949) with Ann Blyth, Calamity Jane and Sam Bass (1949) with Yvonne De Carlo and The Lady from Texas (1951) with Mona Freeman. Other adventure-oriented flicks that more or less came and went included Spaceways (1953), Tanganyika (1954), The Yellow Mountain (1954), Flame of the Islands (1955), Blackjack Ketchum, Desperado (1956) (title role), The Broken Star (1956) and Sierra Stranger (1957). Howard also began appearing infrequently on the stage in the early 1950s with such productions as "Season in the Sun" (1952) and "Anniversary Waltz" (1954).
Those films that rose above the standard included gritty top-billed roles in Johnny Stool Pigeon (1949), Illegal Entry (1949), Shakedown (1950), Spy Hunt (1950) and Woman in Hiding (1950), the last a film noir which paired him with Ida Lupino for the first time. Here, he plays the hero who saves Lupino from a murdering husband (Stephen McNally). In 1951, he married Ms. Lupino, already a well-established star at Warner Bros., who was coming into her own recently as a director. The couple had one daughter, Bridget Duff, born in 1952. Lupino and Duff co-starred in four hard-boiled film dramas during the 1950s -- Jennifer (1953), Private Hell 36 (1954), Women's Prison (1955) and While the City Sleeps (1956). The demise of the studio-guided contract system had an effect on Howard's film career and offers started drying up in the late 1950s.
Fortunately, he found just as wide an appeal on TV, appearing in a number of dramatic showcases for Science Fiction Theatre (1955), Lux Video Theatre (1950) and Climax! (1954). And, in a change of pace, the married couple decided to go for laughs by starring together in the TV series Mr. Adams and Eve (1957). Here, they played gregarious husband-and-wife film stars "Howard Adams" and "Eve Drake". Many of the scripts, though broadly exaggerated for comic effect, were reportedly based on a few of their own real-life experiences. They also guest-starred in an entertaining hour-long episode of the The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1957) in 1959 with the two couples inadvertently booked at the same vacant lodge, together. The show ends up a battle-of-the sexes, free-for-all with the two gals scheming to add a little romance to what has essentially become a fishing vacation for the guys. The 1960s bore more fruit on TV than in film. Sans Lupino, Duff went solo as nightclub owner "Willie Dante" in the tongue-in-cheek adventure series Dante (1960), which lasted less than a season. A few years later, the veteran co-starred with handsome rookie Dennis Cole in what is perhaps his best-remembered series, the police drama The Felony Squad (1966), which was filmed in and around Los Angeles. Duff directed one of those episodes, having directed several episodes of the silly sitcom Camp Runamuck (1965), a year or so earlier. In between series work were guest assignments on such popular primetime shows as Bonanza (1959), The Twilight Zone (1959), Burke's Law (1963) and Combat! (1962).
The marriage of Ida and Howard did not last, however, and the famous married couple separated in 1966 after 15 years of marriage. Ida and Howard didn't officially divorce, however, until 1984. Howard later married a non-professional, Judy Jenkinson, who survived him. While much of Howard's work in later years was standard, if unmemorable, every now and then he would demonstrate the fine talent he was. A couple of his better film performances came as a sex-minded, booze-swilling relative in A Wedding (1978) and as Dustin Hoffman's attorney in the Oscar-winning drama Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). He also enjoyed a villainous role in the short-lived series Flamingo Road (1980) and had a lengthy stint on Knots Landing (1979) during the 1984-1985 season. Duff died at age 76 of a heart attack, on July 8, 1990, in Santa Barbara, California.- Jill Banner's early life was somewhat nomadic. Her father died when she was 2, and her mother moved from Washington to South Dakota and Iowa before settling in Glendale, California. Jill attended the Hollywood Professional School (one of her classmates was Peggy Lipton). Her debut film, Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told (1967), was shot in 1964 but not released until 1968. When the film finally came out she received rave reviews for her performance as one of a pair of crazed sisters in this dark tale of cannibalism and incest. Between the shooting of the film and its release, Banner did a few films and much TV work. She was regularly used by producer/director Jack Webb in his police shows Dragnet 1967 (1967) and Adam-12 (1968), often playing a blissed-out hippie. In the 1970s she soured on the Hollywood life and moved to New Mexico, where she sold real estate. After a few years, though, she returned to California to try to resume her career. On August 7, 1982, she was driving on the Ventura Freeway, between the Tujunga and Laurel Canyon Blvd. off-ramps, when her car was hit by a truck whose driver was drunk. Not wearing a seat belt, she was ejected from the car and hit her head on the center divider. She went into a coma, and died at a local hospital, never having come out of it. At the time of her death she was employed by Marlon Brando and was developing scripts for him.

- Demri Lara Parrott Murphy (February 22nd 1969 - October 29th 1996) was an international American adult/glamour model, fashion model, artist, poet, fashion designer/stylist and muse, and an amateur actress, girlfriend and later fiancee of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. She struggled with addiction and its consequent ill-health for much of her adult life.
Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA, the biological daughter of Kathleen Ann née Austin and Dennis Wayne Dougherty, but at the time of her birth, her 18-year-old mother had been married to Stephen John Parrott, aged 21, for 21 days. He adopted her and her birth name became Demri Lara Parrott. She had three younger half-brothers from her mother's side, Devin Remme, and Derek and David Murphy; and a younger half sister from her biological father's side, Christa Dougherty. She didn't met her biological father and half sister until she was an adult.
She was of Native American (Cherokee), Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, and Swiss-German descent. She was tiny, dark-featured, with long dark hair and dark eyes.
Demri attended at a high school in Arlington, Washington, and dropped at her Junior year (Grade 11) when she was 16. She then went to the High school of Performing Arts in Jacksonville, Florida.
Demri was passionate about many things and excelled in art and theater. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, and loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, write poetry and play in front of the camera. Demri was well known and had numerous friends that she touched with her charismatic and enchanting personality. Most of her friends described her as a very sweet and beautiful person, kind, peaceful and artistic.
She met musician Layne Staley of Alice in Chains at a store called "Saturdays" where she was working, in 1988. They started dating around spring or summer that year, she is thanked in the liner notes of "Facelift", which was released on August 1990.
She is not, as widely but wrongly believed, the woman on the cover of Alice in Chains's album "Dirt", released on September 29, 1992, that is model and actress Mariah O'Brien.
Layne Staley and Demri Parrott were, according to close friends and band-mates, described as perfect for each other and the term "soulmates" has been used more than once to define their relationship. They were engaged to marry on 1992.
However, in the years that followed "Dirt"'s success, Layne and Demri drifted apart, and their engagement broke sometime in 1994, although she features in the cover of Mad Season's "Above". Mad Season was an American rock super group formed in 1994 as a side project of members of other bands in the Seattle grunge scene (Layne was the lead singer with Pearl Jam's guitarist Mike McCready, drummer Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and bassist John Baker Saunders). Mad Season released only one album, "Above", in March 1995.
Both Demri and Layne became drug addicts, hooked to heroin. In addition, Demri had a cardiac pacemaker in her heart. Although she went to rehab several times, it didn't work to her, and sometimes had to turn to theft and prostitution to get some money for the drugs. When she struggled with addiction she ended up homeless, often couch surfing from place to place and staying with different friends and family before moving on, and carrying most of her valuable things in her suitcase.
Demri also suffered endocarditis (an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium, that can be caused by a bacterial infection. Risk factors include intravenous drug use, and electronic pacemakers). Demri was in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years of her life.
At the time of her death, she was clean, but for her last hours, she was at a friend's house, who took her to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington, and recognized too late that she wasn't doing well on the pills she'd ingested. Demri lapsed into a coma and spent the last 12 hours of her life unconscious in an intensive care unit at Evergreen Hospital, with only her mother and her aunt by her side, before doctors turned off the life-support machines on the morning of October 29, 1996. Her cause of death was an acute intoxication and the combined effects of opiate, meprobamate and butalbital. She was only 27.
Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver told journalist Greg Prato in his book "Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music" that she was the one who went to Layne's apartment to tell him that Demri had died. Friends comment that after Demri died, Layne was put on suicide watch for 24 hours.
Demri Parrott was buried at the Miller-Woodlawn Memorial Park in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA. Her memorial service took place on November 2 at Neighborhood Christian Center and donations were made to Harborview Adult Medicine Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, Harborview Medical Center (Seattle). - Actress

Heather Young is best known for her regular role as "Betty Hamilton" in the sci-fi two-season cult series, Land of the Giants (1968), produced by Irwin Allen.
She also appeared in one episode, Town of Terror (1967), of another Irwin Allen sci-fi cult series, The Time Tunnel (1966).
With this sort of history, you would expect Young to have a love of sci-fi, but this is not the case at all, she got these roles because she was one of the last 20th Century Fox contract players and Irwin Allen selected her for this reason.
As well as not being not totally comfortable with Land of the Giants (1968), she never really got a lot to do in the series, however this problem was addressed by series co-star Don Matheson (as explained in the "Land of the Giants" DVD set). Matheson would simply hand some of his lines to Young to give her more to do.
Perhaps she looked most at home in the second season episode, titled The Marionettes (1970). In this episode, Betty helped out a kind giant circus guy, by acting as a singing dancing marionette, to replace a real marionette.
In 1995, the entire living Land of the Giants (1968) cast was interviewed on The Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen (1995) TV show, but Young was oddly missing.- Music Department

Brent David Fraser is the progeny of 17th, 18th and 19th century Scottish, Dutch and Austrians in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, who gained American prominence as Builders, Church Reformers, Freemasons, Businessmen and Industrialists. His heart is rooted in the Highland Clan Fraser of Lovat and Noble family trees on his father's side. Fraser was born in Bremerton, raised in Bellingham and began his career as an actor and singer/songwriter in the Seattle live theatre and music scene in 1985. He wrote poetry as a child and learned guitar, harmonica, as well as piano and violin. His first influences were his mother's favorites-Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce and Jackson Browne. His tastes transitioned to pop-radio, hard rock, to David Bowie and new wave, to 80s Glam, to Tom Waits. After moving to Seattle he began working in professional theatre, and as a "busker" at Pike Place Market. He was accepted to The North Carolina School of the Arts but stayed less than a year going back to Seattle to study privately with Mark Jenkins, and to work as a professional actor and musician. He worked repeatedly with The Group Theatre, in plays such as "Tamer of Horses" with William Mastrosimone, and "Tracers" with John DiFusco, but it wasn't until he landed his first feature film role in Keith Gordon's, The Chocolate War, that Los Angelenos took notice of his talent and encouraged him to move south. Upon arrival in L.A. he landed a string of starring roles in independent features including Jezebel's Kiss with Malcolm McDowell, Wild Orchid 2 with Nina Siemaszko and Tom Skerritt, The Dark side of Genius with Seymour Cassel, Finola Hughes and Moon Zappa, and The Little Death with Dwight Yoakam, J.T.Walsh and Pamela Gidley. He was in David Lynch's, Wild at Heart with Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern and New Line's Book of Love with Chris Young and Josie Bissett. His chameleon talents were utilized as "Jed" the socially inept, criminal drug-chemist in the gritty, Broken Vessels, for which he and Martin Blasick wrote much of the music and score. He also starred in Tall as Trees, a Filipino/American film shot in Manila, with Chin Chin Gutierrez and Monsour Del Rosario. Fraser has also appeared in television series' such as, Fox TV's The Tracy Ullman Show, NBC's Dark Skies (as Jim Morrison), and Showtime's The Outer Limits. MGM/Trilogy wrote a challenging character, combining his talents as an actor and singer as a recurring character on the show Fame-L.A. in which they also placed some of his original songs on the show and two of the songs. Fraser sang can be heard on the show's compilation CD, on Mercury Records. The opportunity to have his own songs placed in TV and film productions in which he worked as an actor or not, has carried throughout his career. Fraser has recorded his songs with artists such as Warren Zevon and Don Henley's band via Manager/Producer Andrew Slater, and Global Producer/Musician Corrado Rustici (Aretha Franklin, Cyndi Lauper, Elton John, Sting, Bono, Pavarotti). His writing talents were utilized by Corrado to write three songs with Italian artist Elisa Tofoli, for her album Pipes and Flowers. After development deals with Randy Jackson at Sony and Lou Maglia at Zoo Records, Santa Monica based Motion City Records found him reverting to his roots in a coffee house acoustic gig and offered a record deal, which he accepted, hoping that with an independent label he would get to make the album that suited his artistic sensibilities. He co-wrote 5 songs with Tim Schools and Joey Molland of Badfinger. On his concept CD "Albion Moonlight and the Sea of Troubles" with Motion City Records producer Martin Blasick, Fraser makes use of poetry, theatricality and all of the influences he has ever known. It's the mythical story of a young man recovering the imposed and self-imposed losses due to a mental illness centered in the ego/mind. It's a tale of redemption and love. Upon hearing it, with a desire to record a follow-up album with him, legendary Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, John Lennon) said of Fraser that he was one of the best songwriters to come along since Lennon. Fraser's Scottish heritage being closest of anything to his heart, he is a lifetime member of his family founded (1961) Clan Fraser Association for California and is a Fellow in good standing of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. He also studies a bit of Gaelic and Hebrew. Fraser splits his time between Bellingham, WA and Laguna Beach, while editing his autobiographical novel "My Highland Heart", performing as a singer/songwriter frequently and is active in "The Orange County Commission for the Administration of Justice" established in 1968 by then president of the Orange County Bar Association, Robert W, Fraser a Marine Veteran of WWII and Korea, a 60 year attorney in CA and MT and the surrogate father who raised Brent in the Fraser and Noble Scottish traditions, and schooled him in the Legal Arts with Black's Law volumes. He owns and operates A Mhòr-fhaiche PR, Inc., forming and promoting nonprofits, religious corporations and startup ventures that contribute to the good of our society and decrease suffering in the world. He is Executor of Charitable Causes and Receivership for Sacramental Life Churches, Inc., the Mother organization for the rapidly growing healing network of Spiritually motivated Cannabis Churches and Healing Outreach Centers. Fraser's life is focused on helpfulness to others, kindness and compassion.- Actor

When she was just 5 years old, Nastasjia auditioned for and won a one-year training scholarship in Seattle, Washington.
After several school performances and some local student work, Nastasjia was anxious to advance her career. She went to New York City to compete in the first ever International Presentation of Performers and won a spot in the final showcase presentation where she got to try her hand at singing - on a Broadway stage!
Upon her return to Seattle, Nastasjia was introduced to local singer Bridget St. John. Bridget was casting her first music video for the band, Sweet Punch. The song "Make Believe" relates the story of a little girl in a dysfunctional home. A neighbor boy vows to protect her from her families' woes and whisks her away to an imaginary renaissance world. Together, through their play, they create an imaginary fortress called Believe. Nastasjia soon became the rescued girl/princess in the video. This was her first professionally paid acting job.
After her work on the Sweet Punch video, Nastasjia concentrated on auditioning for various local films. She won a non-speaking role in a depression era carnival film for Hoi Paloi Films. "A Reflective Being" filmed in 2008.
Nastasjia next landed the lead female role in a short film from Nomad Pictures with director Jeff Keiser. "The Choice" details a young man's soul searching into the idea of fatherhood. Nastasjia plays the man's imaginary daughter and teaches him the joys... and realities of being a parent.
Nastasjia was invited by producer Tom Nord to join the team from Hydrochloric Candy to compete in the 2008 48-hour Film Project. In "Saint Ives", she plays Ana, the sickly younger sister of super-spy Ives. The team's 2009 entry was titled Escape. Nastasjia plays a flashback character named Felicia.
In 2010, Nastasjia joined Brainful Productions in the Seattle 48hr Film Competition. The team's efforts resulted in the award winning short film: Mythplaced.
Nastasjia has also been known to experiment vocally. In February of 2010, she was selected to supply background vocals for local Seattle indie band, Edison Orange, on their debut album. The song title: Stand for Something.

Travis Darkow was born in Bremerton, Washington on September 1st, 1992. He is a director, editor, screenwriter and producer. He is also the founder of The Thing In The Basement Productions, a small independent filmmaking outfit from Washington, whose primary focus is horror and science fiction. He is known for his films Litmus (2021) August in Remission (2020) Elliot (2020) Bunny Boy (2019) and Goodbye Tomorrow (2019) Throughout his school years, Travis took as many creative writing and technology classes as he could, but as far as directing, video editing, and filmmaking in general, he is entirely self taught. Opting for hands on experience rather than a traditional film education, Travis got to work learning the ins and outs of a film production by watching as many movies and director interviews as he possibly could. Between 7th and 12th grade, he had written, directed, edited and acted in over two dozen short films, and his output, skill, and vision has only increased and sharpened in the years since. His horror screenplays as well as television pilots have been gaining exposure on the festival circuit, and have netted him dozens of award wins, official selections and festival invitations. He also writes children's books, short stories, and has a published poetry collection called Lost Little Things available on Amazon.
