He found out, that writing in fact was something which required hard steady work for the rest of his career if he wanted one. In 1981 if finally happened. The book was called “Kaerlighed ved foerste hik” (Love at first hiccup) and is still one of his most popular books. Time went on and he kept writing.

Birth Name: Curd Gustav Andreas Gottlieb Franz Jürgens

Nickname: The Norman hulk (by Brigitte Bardot)

Height: 6′ 4″ (1.93 m)

Mini Biography:

Curd Jürgens (commonly billed as “Curt Jurgens” in anglophone countries) was one of the most successful European film actors of the 20th Century. He was born Curd Gustav Andreas Gottlieb Franz Jürgens on December 13, 1915, in Solln, Bavaria, in Hohenzollern Imperial Germany, a subject of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Of Franco-German parentage, Jürgens — who was born during the closing days of the second year of the First World War — would abandon the country of his birth after the end of World War II: Jürgens became an Austrian citizen in 1945 and lived part-time in France.Jürgens entered the journalism profession after receiving his education, and married Louise Basler, an actress. Basler, the first of his five wives, encouraged him to switch careers and become an actor. He learned his new profession on the Vienna stage, which retained his loyalty even after he became an global film star. Jürgens was sent to a concentration camp for “political unreliables” in 1944 due to his anti-Nazi opinions. It was this experience in Nazi Germany that led him to become an Austrian citizen after the war.His appearance in Des Teufels General (1955) (“The Devil’s General” (1955)) established him as a star of German cinema, and his role as Brigitte Bardot’s older lover in Roger Vadim’s Et Dieu… créa la femme (1956) (And God Created Woman (1956)) made him an international star. Always interested in multilingual European actors with good looks and talent, Hollywood beckoned the 6′ 4″ Jürgens, casting him in The Enemy Below (1957) as a WWII German U-boat commander in a duel with American destroyer commander Robert Mitchum. He constantly was in demand to play Germany military officers (e.g., The Longest Day (1962), the most expensive black-and-white film ever made) — indeed, his last role was as The General in the miniseries _”Smiley’s People” (1982)(TV)_ — and Germanic villains (e.g., Cornelius, the cowardly and treacherous trading company representative, in Lord Jim (1965)) for the rest of his life. One of his most famous roles in the English-language cinema was as the James Bond villain Karl Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), the best entry in Roger Moore’s Bond series. It was Moore’s favorite Bond film.Jürgens considered himself primarily a stage actor and often performed on the Vienna stage. Though the world knew him as a cinema actor, he also directed several films and wrote several screenplays and an autobiography, “Sixty and Not Yet Wise” (1975). His death from a heart attack in 1982 in Vienna was front-page news across Austria and Germany.

Mini Biography:

It was his roommate at The Citadel who first encouraged Tim to pursue acting. He does not talk much about his experience at The Military College of South Carolina, except that he finds it ironic that they failed him in public speaking. During his time as a Cadet, he walked over 600 tours for punishment, became a member of the Summerall Guard (an elite unit), and graduated with a business degree. Upon graduation, Tim still had no interest in the arts. He went into business with a dream of eventually owning his own company. After two years of steadily rising up the corporate ladder, the company he was working for closed the Charleston office. He was unable to find work and moved back home to Houston. It was then that Tim’s acting career was born. He was getting a haircut in preparation for a job interview when he noticed a theatre company conducting auditions. It was at that moment that he remembered his old friend’s advice about becoming an actor, so he went to the audition and was cast. Since then, Tim has performed in over twenty professional theatre productions, several indie flicks, and has done print, industrial and commercial work. Tim trained intensively at the Moscow Art Theatre in conjunction with the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts and went on to study at the Larry Moss Studio in Santa Monica.

Trivia:

Tim was offered fifty dollars by his company commander to quit the Citadel during his knob (freshman) year.

Mini Biography:

Creative, intelligent, dynamic, innovative, and driven are just a few ways to describe Malese Jow. The Nickelodeon star has become a role model and teen sensation with a burgeoning Hollywood career, and has shown herself to be in total control of her future. A media darling who is refreshingly honest, focused, and amazingly positive, Malese is true to herself, and stands for what she believes in her heart. The “young girl with a dream” from Tulsa, OK has developed into an actress, songstress, and entertainer maintaining her image as “real” and the epitome of today’s “girl next door.” With her run on the hit Nickelodeon show “Unfabulous” ending after 3 successful seasons, Malese is now ready to move into the next stage of her career and is ready to take the music industry by storm.A sincere desire to deliver respectable music and performances is what drives Malese, who has viewed the stage as her life’s passion since she was a young child. Malese first developed her skills at charity benefits and local talent competitions. At 7 she gained valuable stage experience when she was chosen to sing with Rodney Lay and the Wild West, where she opened sold-out shows for such legendary country acts as Brenda Lee, George Jones, Ty Herndon, Ray Price, and many others. Soon thereafter, the head of McDonald’s advertising heard Malese’s voice, and offered her the opportunity to appear in several world-wide McDonald’s/Disney television commercials and radio jingles.In 2002 Malese competed on Ed McMahon’s “Next Big Star” where she won 4 rounds in the kids vocal category against stiff competition that included “American Idol” alum Lisa Tucker and Idol winner Katherine McPhee (in the adult category). Her powerful vocal abilities and charismatic crowd appeal left an impact on Ed McMahon, and he personally invited her on tour with his variety show later that year. As she continued to develop as an artist, Malese began to focus more on her acting career, and by the fall she had landed the starring role of fashionable “Geena Fabiano” for Nickelodeon’s hit show “Unfabulous,” which airs worldwide on Nickelodeon and The N networks. She also starred in the live-action adaptation of “Bratz -The Movie,” playing the supporting lead role of “Quinn,” as well as guest-starring role on Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” as “Ruby Donohue.” In other entertainment realms, Malese was recently featured as the subject of a back-to-school editorial for “Sweet 16″ magazine and is a featured model for the annual issue of “Teen Hair Magazine.” Her most recent acting project is the lead role of “Paige Pucker” in “SP Untitled,” an internet-based pilot show sponsored by Cadbury Candy Co. and shown online at www.soursweetgone.com, and she’s scheduled to be a guest star on Nickelodeon’s ICarly, set to film in September.Malese recently embarked on her newest venture as a songstress/songwriter and signed a development and production deal with Sphere Productions, headed by PJ Bianco (who helped launch one of today’s hottest bands, The Jonas Brothers). Her vocal style is an appealing blend of edgy pop and rock that represents the sound of tomorrow, and she looks to Pat Benatar, Paramore, and Patsy Cline as her most impressionable female vocal influences. In her original song lyrics, Malese embraces life’s experiences of what is important to her personally, such as love, breakups, and friendships. Although she is still young, she has a unique ability to capture the depth of adulthood in her writing. This unique insight manifests and compliments her lower vocal range with a much more mature sound than those of other teen recording artist. With a loyal, world-wide fan base already developing through her acting career, Malese is confident she can transition into the entertainment world as both a serious recording artist, lyricist and professional actress.Malese’s dedication to her career is what will lead her in inevitable success. What began as a child’s dream is steadily developing into a serious passion and career. With her unparalleled acting talents, striking exotic beauty, and unique, earthy voice, Malese brings a fresh sound to her audience, no matter what age they might be. She is definitely a teen to watch in Hollywood.
