Since a young age, Louisa has had a love of performing, having been a pupil at London's iconic Sylvia Young Theatre School. Here, she learnt from some of the best tutors, and was able to develop her skills as both an actress, and an all-round performer. It was this platform that led to Louisa securing her first professional role, as the innocent schoolgirl Ruby Allen in BBC1's BAFTA award winning EastEnders. Here, Louisa became an overnight sensation, racking up column inches and piles of critical acclaim as she tackled the many controversial storylines that the EastEnders writers through her way.
Since leaving EastEnders, Louisa's star continued to rise, as she joined another iconic British television show, The Bill. Here, she played the inexperienced and shy police officer Beth Green. Following this, Louisa has enjoyed a whole host of varied roles, from parts in the internationally successful American Pie franchise, to the British Shakespeare Company's productions of both A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing.
Away from acting, Louisa is also an accomplished dancer, having competed in the fourth series of Strictly Come Dancing, where she successfully reached the quarter-finals. Following on from this, Louisa toured the country as part of the sold-out Strictly Come Dancing arena tour, and represented the United Kingdom in the 2008 Eurovision Dance Contest.
Currently, Louisa is busy as a result of her role in the new ITV comedy drama The Edge of Heaven; an exciting new prime-time comedy based around the trials and tribulations of a family running a guest house in Margate. For this part, Louisa is working alongside a talented cast that includes Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners, Him and Her) and Camille Coduri (Doctor Who, Midsomer Murders), and her character's name is Michelle.- Milt was born at Beth Israel Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 10, 1936 to Eastern European immigrants, Mildred and Joseph Kogan. Joseph earned a degree as a pharmacist from Temple University and after one year moved his family across the Delaware River to Camden, New Jersey, where he set up a pharmacy that lasted for 40 years and became a neighborhood icon. Milt found success at Woodrow Wilson high school as a basketball player, winning choice on Camden, N.J. City All-Star Basketball Team in 1953. He won acceptance to prestigious Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., where he performed as leading scorer on his college freshman team. In his first game, the next year, for the varsity, unfortunately, he suffered a severe knee injury, before modern knee surgery, which essentially ended his high caliber performances. Still, in 1957, he was voted Captain of the Cornell Basketball Team. Milt went on to medical school, instead, and graduated with a D.O. degree and then an M.D. from the University of California, Irvine. It was in those early 1960 years that he serendipitously fell into acting in Hollywood. Early success in TV commercials brought him much respect, especially since his early roles were as dumb, working-class characters that incited much laughter. He married Dena Lambie, from Northern California, after a stint as a professor/physician on the University of the Seven Seas, a floating campus that went around the world. Two children followed, Magavin and Teidi, and because his TV career never floundered, he soon felt embarrassed about his success and decided to repay someone...but whom? He joined the United States Peace Corps and brought his young family to West Africa, now Burkina Faso, where he served the poor there for two and a half years. On his return to California, he enrolled in a Masters in Preventive Health program at U.C.L.A. and graduated with an M.P.H. Unfortunately, his marriage took a toll from his energetic lifestyle and Dena divorced him two years later. Dedicating himself, full energy, to his dual careers of medicine and acting, working with the homeless and mentally ill in Los Angeles, he was soon guest starring on many major TV shows, appearing in movies, and continuing his success in comedy in commercials. After returning from two years in Harlowton, Montana, where he accepted a position with the National Health Service Corps as a cowboy doctor, he met Susan Quast, a South Dakota small-town beauty, who agreed, after some effort, to be his wife. Milt shares two children with Susan, son Jamie and daughter, Millay. In effort to continue contact with all his children, Milt joined the U.S. Defense Department and served with the U.S. Army in West Germany for two years. He returned to Hollywood with his complete family and now has been married to Susan for 35 years. Because of his medical adventures, he can speak German, French and Spanish. He is a voting member of both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Emmy). Three of his four children have earned lawyer degrees and son, Jamie, is a successful film composer in Hollywood. Susan and Milt built a home and farm in Oceanside, California where he now practices, he says, as a farmer. He continues his efforts in medicine and acting, traveling to Los Angeles to participate in TV

Norma Jean knew she wanted to perform beginning at the age of five. Born in Camden, New Jersey, and raised in Watertown, New York, her mother named her after Marilyn Monroe. She began dance class to overcome a disability caused by a horrific accident with scissors. Dance quickly became her life, and throughout her childhood, she studied ballet, tap, jazz, creative and ballroom dancing, and played the piano, the flute, and the clarinet. Her love of dance and music transcended many other performing-art-related interests, including theater and comedy. She was an avid athlete in high school, performing in her school band as a color guard and majorette. She also competed as an ice skater, winning numerous competitions in the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA).
After high school, Norma Jean set off on her own, working three jobs and falling in love with community theater. Over the course of her career, she has performed in Grapes of Wrath, Inherit the Wind, H.M.S. Pinafore, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Music Man, Agnes of God, Oliver!, My Fair Lady, and Auntie Mame, to name a few. She is revered for her ability to artfully master dialects such as Cockney, French, Minnesota/Wisconsin, Upstate New York and NYC New Yorker, Puerto Rico, Southern, Russian, Irish, German, and British.
Norma Jean currently voices the role of "Shandra Keating" in Celeritas, a sci-fi podcast that ranks in the top ten of all sci-fi podcasts in 15 countries. A gifted comedienne, she performs as Smokin' Bev, an opinionated and sometimes offensive character she based on her mother, on Tik Tok. Norma Jean is often compared to other rubber-faced comediennes such as Imogene Coca, Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, and Lily Tomlin.
Additional credits include parts in the hit television shows Fresh Off the Boat, Mad Men, Men of a Certain Age, 10 Years Younger, Parks and Recreation, and Boston Legal.
Norma Jean is an outspoken advocate against domestic violence and works diligently on behalf of victims and survivors. She has an Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science degree in International Business and Public Speaking from SUNY Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, NY. She currently resides in Austin, Texas.

Eager young James (aka Jimmy) Cardwell had an auspicious beginning and showed great promise in 1940s films. Dark-haired and thick-browed with an earnest, boyish look and set-jawed handsomeness that could remind someone of a John Garfield type, he couldn't have started off much better than by playing a young, heroic war casualty as one of The Fighting Sullivans (1944) (aka "The Fighting Sullivans"). By the end of the decade, however, James' film career did not advance and he ended things negligibly on TV. Despondency overwhelmed him and on January 31, 1954, he became another tragic Hollywood statistic, The victim of suicide at age 32, he has become completely forgotten save for film trivia enthusiasts.
The son of Raymond and Bessie (McCarroll) Cardwell, he was christened Albert Paine Cardwell after his grandfather, a Philadelphia publishing editor. Born in Camden, New Jersey, on November 21, 1921 (several sources give 1920) and raised there, young Cardwell attended Alfred Cramer Junior High School before transferring to Woodrow Wilson High School. While there he found himself drawn to acting and, after appearing in a sophomore play, served as president of the school's drama club. He also showed athletic prowess on the football field, as well as in track and field.
Following his graduation in 1940, he toiled about in a few odd jobs (clerk, laborer, etc.) but continued to prod his interest in acting by joining the Camden Drama Guild. Committed by this time, he later joined the Hedgerow Theater Group in Pennsylvania. While there he may ends meet by working in the shipping department for RCA Victor, meeting and marrying Esther Borton in June of 1942.
In the summer of 1943, while in New York looking for representation/work, James was seen by agents scouting out fresh faces for an upcoming WWII picture about five patriotic soldier-brothers. He won one of the brothers' roles. His wife, however, had no shared interest in his fledgling career or move to Los Angeles, and the marriage quickly ended. Signed up for seven years with Twentieth Century-Fox, he was renamed James Cardwell for the movies and the young hopeful made a heart-tugging debut in the war drama The Fighting Sullivans (1944), a somewhat fictionalized and sentimental, but nevertheless inspiring true-life story of five brothers from Iowa (Cardwell played George Sullivan) who served together (by request) and died on the same torpedoed ship during WWII.
After this film, James appeared in second leads as various reporters, rookies and private eye types in Charlie Chan mysteries and other various "B" level dramas, working throughout the post-war era of the 1940s. Despite his capabilities, he did not move to the top lead status and many of the films he did appear in were dismissed by the critics. For every engaging appearance in a strong quality film such as A Walk in the Sun (1945) or He Walked by Night (1948), one could count twice as many forgettable ones in lesser pictures (The Devil on Wheels (1947), Robin Hood of Texas (1947), King of the Gamblers (1948), Down Dakota Way (1949)). His single male lead in a movie may have dimmed any chances of further growth after co-starring with Lois Hall in the absurd Monogram adventure Daughter of the Jungle (1949), a distaff Tarzan movie complete with swinging vine scenes and female animal calls.
Unable to grasp the necessary momentum to advance, he fell further down the credits list while working on primarily "Poverty Row" studio movie projects. In the light comedy And Baby Makes Three (1949) and the Bogart war drama Tokyo Joe (1949), James received no billing at all, and he was completely overlooked in his last billed film appearance, a supporting role in the assembly-line Rex Allen western, The Arizona Cowboy (1950). Forced to look at TV as a possible medium, few opportunities came his way with the exception of a couple of guest parts on a Rod Cameron crime series. An uncredited role in the horror film Them! (1954) occurred shortly before his death.
In anticipation of his fading career, James started attending UCLA at night and taking up pre-med courses. At one point he toured Australia with Joe E. Brown in the top comedian's vaudeville act and joined a circus comedy acrobatic act called the Coleano Troupe that toured throughout the U.S. and Europe. Returning to the States in 1953, depression set in when he couldn't find TV work. On January 31, 1954, at age 32, with no prospects in sight and debts mounting, James shot himself in the head in an automobile he borrowed from a friend in a parking lot near his two-room West Los Angeles bungalow. He was survived by his parents and buried in his native Camden.- Actress

Stephen Keep Mills made his exit from the Yale Drama School (and the great Stella Adler) in the spring of 1969 to act with the Guthrie Theatre. He subsequently performed on 20 years' worth of regional stages across the US and Canada. He appeared on and Off-Broadway and guest-starred in multiple episodic TV shows, Movies of the Week, and a few films before deciding to write, direct, and produce his own films. In 2003, his experimental Hotel Lobby inspired by Edward Hopper's painting of the same name found life and awards on the festival circuit. It was followed by two highly awarded shorts, the 15-minute A Cigar at the Beach in 2005, and then Liminal in 2008, starring Alejandra Gollas and Tonya Cornelisse, both of whom also star in Mills' 94-min debut feature: Love Is Not Love completed in 2020. The World Premiere was at Cinequest and the festival award count topped off at 170 across all categories. Random Media is now the distributor. Next up is ¡Contesta!, Mills' screen adaptation of famed Italian Playwright Ugo Betti's 1947 stage play: Ispezione, set in Mexico with a bi-lingual Hispanic cast.- Anna-Marie Wayne is the daughter of composer Jeff Wayne.
