    Actress, singer and producer Glenn Close is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated personalities. She is famous for her complex roles as femme fatale in Dangerous Liaisons and as sick twisted stalker of Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction.

    Judy Garland

    In a career that has covered 40 years, Judy Garland performed in more than forty movies. She is remembered best by most of us as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz and has been since nominated for numerous awards, including Golden Globe’s, Emmys, and Academy Awards, but has never taken home an Oscar. Harold Arlen composed what was to be one of Judy’s greatest signature songs: “Over the Rainbow” featured in "The Wizard of Oz".
