Alice Hollister

Biography

From Wikipedia Alice Hollister (September 28, 1886 – February 24, 1973) was an American silent film actress who appeared in 85 films between 1911 and 1925. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, she is believed to have been the daughter of French-Canadian immigrants. In 1903, at age seventeen, she married George K. Hollister who a few years later became a pioneer cinematographer with Kalem Studios in New York City. They had a daughter, Doris Ethel, born in 1906, and George Jr., born in 1908. When Kalem Studios began sending a film crew to Florida in the wintertime, Alice Hollister accompanied her husband. She began appearing in film in 1911, at first because of the small crew and the frequent need for a female in a bit part. However, she liked acting and went on to appear in many films, the last in 1925. One of Hollister's most important roles was that of Mary Magdalene in the film From the Manger to the Cross (1912). Filmed on location in Palestine, this film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The Vampire (1913) made her the first recognized vamp in cinema, predating Theda Bara in A Fool There Was (1915). For that role, she was dubbed "the original vampire". She reprised the character in The Vampire's Trail (1914) and The Lotus Woman (1916), her last film for Kalem. Alice Hollister's husband died in 1952 and she died in 1973, aged 86, in Costa Mesa, California. They are interred together in the Great Mausoleum, Columbarium of Solace at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Robbi Morgan

Biography

Cute, spunky and appealing brunette actress Robbi Morgan was born on July 19, 1961. Robbi made her movie debut playing the titular character, as a little girl, in the touching drama, Me, Natalie (1969). Morgan did a wickedly funny and dead-on impression of Mae West while singing the hysterically bawdy song, "Oh, You Nasty Man", as part of a talent show in Curtis Harrington's excellent Depression-era horror winner, What's the Matter with Helen? (1971). Robbi achieved her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with her memorably sweet portrayal of bubbly'n'perky hitch-hiking camp counselor "Annie" in the landmark slasher classic, Friday the 13th (1980). She not only had co-starring roles in the made-for-TV pictures, Forbidden Love (1982) and I Married a Centerfold (1984), but also made a guest appearance on the TV show, The Fall Guy (1981). Morgan performed stunts for the comedy feature, The Great Outdoors (1988). Besides her regrettably sparse film and TV credits, Robbi also acted in a Broadway stage production of the musical comedy, "Barnum", which ran from 1980 to 1982. Robbi Morgan has been married to actor and game show host, Mark L. Walberg, since 1987; the couple are the proud parents of two children.
