Hal Osmond (born 1902, London – December 1959 in Taunton, Somerset) was a British film and television actor.
Karen Lynne Valentine (born May 25, 1947) is an American actress best known for her role as the idealistic schoolteacher Alice Johnson in the television series Room 222.
Valentine grew up in Sebastopol, California and won a spot representing California at the Miss Teenage America pageant, where she was awarded the Talent Award. Valentine was Miss Sonoma County and Top 10 at Miss California, state finals to Miss America. When Ed Sullivan saw her act (where she would comically dance in a flamboyant costume while lip-synching to Eydie Gormé's "Blame it on the Bossa Nova"), he was quoted as saying, "I want that girl on my show."
In 1966-1967, she started her television career as "The Resident Dream Girl" on The Dream Girl of 1967, replacing Beverly Adams from the first weekday broadcast opposite hosts Dick Stewart and Wink Martindale, and during that time she appeared on another Chuck Barris show, The Dating Game.
In 1969, Valentine won her breakthrough role as a new teacher on the ABC television series Room 222 with Lloyd Haynes and Michael Constantine. She was discovered by Gene Reynolds, the director of Room 222, who saw her lip-synching in rehearsal and saw that she was funny. She was nominated twice for an Emmy and once for a Golden Globe, winning an Emmy in 1970 for Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role.
Frederica von Stade (born June 1, 1945) is an American mezzo-soprano.
Frederica von Stade was born in Somerville, New Jersey. She acquired the nickname "Flicka" in her childhood. Her father, Charles S. von Stade, was a polo champion and Lieutenant in the United States Army who was killed in service in Germany during the Second World War, prior to her birth. Her grandfather, Francis Skiddy von Stade, Sr., (1884–1967), was also a polo champion.
She attended the Mannes College of Music in New York City.
She made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in 1970 and in 1971 appeared as Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro at the Santa Fe Opera. "It was two of the newcomers who left the audience dazzled: Frederica von Stade as Cherubino and Kiri Te Kanawa as the Countess. Everyone knew at once that these were brilliant finds. History has confirmed that first impression." Cherubino remained her most celebrated signature role, which she sang at her European debut in Versailles 1973, which was the starting point of her great international career. At the inauguration of Jimmy Carter as the 39th President of the United States on January 20 1977, she performed "Take Care of This House" from the Broadway musical 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by Leonard Bernstein and Alan Jay Lerner, accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra. After a hiatus of six years she returned to the Met in 1982 and remained a pillar of the ensemble, highly appreciated by critics and loved by the public in such roles as Idamante in Idomeneo, Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, Blanche in Dialogues des Carmélites, Cherubino, Mélisande in Pelléas et Mélisande, Charlotte in Werther and Hanna Glawary in The Merry Widow.

Dr. Howard Latimer befindet sich in einem Teufelskreis: alles deutet darauf hin, dass er die Schauspielerin Fanny Felden in seiner eigenen Wohnung ermordet hat. Niemand glaubt ihm angesichts der Beweislast mehr, dass er unschuldig ist. Dabei hatte er die junge hübsche Frau nur einmal kurz gesehen, als er sie für seinen Freund, den Filmmanager Charlie Kaufmann, vom Flughafen abholte. Hinterher stellte sich heraus, dass die Dame weder im Hotel angekommen war noch dass der Produzent Kaufmann ein Zimmer für sie reserviert hatte. Dafür hatte die Tote in ihrem Notizbuch einen Termineintrag bei Dr. Latimer für die Zeit, zu der sie starb. Der einzige Zeuge, den der verzweifelte Arzt hat und der ihn entlasten könnte, ist ein Journalist namens Geoffrey Windsor. Doch auch hier verlaufen die Spuren in...
