Robin McLaurin Williams
Robin McLaurin Williams was born to Robert Fitgerald Williams and Laurie "Punky" McLaurin Smith at St Luke’s Hospital in Chicago Illinois. He had two older half-brothers. He described himself as a quiet child and that he overcame his shyness in high school when he got involved with the drama club. Robin Williams is best remembered for bringing his comedy and quick wit to television and films. His credits on film and television are numerous, his talent and wit in concert legendary. See a partial list of his credits at Robin Williams Filmography Robin's first memorable character was "Mork" on the television show "Mork and Mindy". He said that he was thrilled when comedian Jonathan Winters joined the cast as their son, since Jonathan was a comedic hero of his. That made sense, since they both used a stream of consciousness approach to their humor. They both also suffered from depression.

Lucille Ball
'I Love Lucy'' had its premiere on Oct. 15, 1951, and within a few months millions of Americans tuned in every Monday evening to watch the antics of the Ricardos and their best friends, Fred and Ethel Mertz (William Frawley and Vivian Vance). ''I Love Lucy'' was one of the first shows to be filmed rather than performed live, making it possible to have a high-quality print of each episode for rebroadcast, compared with the poor quality of live-show kinescopes. The change eventually led to a shift of television production from New York to Hollywood. The show was the first to be filmed before an audience, and crew members used three cameras at once to permit motion-picture-type editing. The series won more than 200 awards, including five Emmys. Jack Gould of The Times offered this analysis: ''The extraordinary discipline and intuitive understanding of farce gives 'I Love Lucy' its engaging lilt and lift. Only after a firm foundation of credibility has been established is the element of absdurdity introduced. It is in the smooth transition from sense to nonsense that 'I Love Lucy' imparts both a warmth and a reality to the slapstick romp that comes as the climax.'' Miss Ball's superb timing, Mr. Gould wrote, makes her ''the distaff equivalent of Jack Benny,'' her professional idol. A Fortune in Rerun Rights Mr. Arnaz made a fortune for the couple by obtaining rerun rights for the series. He later sold the rights to CBS, allowing the couple's production company, Desilu, to buy a studio, the former RKO lot where Miss Ball's film career had languished and where they had met in 1940 while appearing together in ''Too Many Girls.'' Despite the continuing popularity of ''I Love Lucy,'' the couple sought a less demanding schedule and ended the series in 1957 after making 179 episodes. The format persisted, however, for three more years through a series of hourlong, high-budget, around-the-world specials called ''The Luci-Desi Comedy Hour.'' Their collaboration ended with their divorce in 1960. Mr. Arnaz died in 1986. Two years after their divorce, Miss Ball revived ''Lucy,'' playing a widow in ''The Lucy Show'' for 156 episodes until 1968, then did ''Here's Lucy'' for 144 episodes from 1968 to 1974. In these two series she was joined by her two children, her longtime friend Vivian Vance and Gale Gordon, who succeeded Mr. Arnaz as her masculine foil. In shaping situation comedies, Miss Ball consistently sought superior writers, followed their advice, gave them unstinting credit and paid close attention to production details. In later movies, she co-starred with Bob Hope in two comedies, ''The Facts of Life'' (1961) and ''Critic's Choice'' (1963), and appeared with Henry Fonda in ''Yours, Mine and Ours,'' a 1968 farce about a couple with nearly a score of children. In 1974 she starred in a film version of the stage hit ''Mame.''
Mary Grace Canfield
Mary Grace Canfield (3 September 1924 – 15 February 2014), character actor. OBITUARIES Mary Grace Canfield dies at 89; character actress was on ‘Green Acres’ Actress Mary Grace Canfield dies at 89 Mary Grace Canfield, an actress best known for her role as Ralph the carpenter on TV’s “Green Acres,” has died in Santa Barbara. She was 89. (Orion Television Entertainment) By STEVE CHAWKINS FEB. 18, 2014 12 AM Mary Grace Canfield, a character actress best known as part of the daffy Ralph-and-Alf brother-sister carpenter team on the TV comedy “Green Acres,” died Saturday in a Santa Barbara hospice. She was 89. The cause was lung cancer, her daughter Phoebe Alexiades said. On “Green Acres,” Canfield was Ralph Monroe, who, with her brother Alf, was perennially working on the bedroom of a city slicker couple (Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor) at their newly acquired farm near Hooterville. She was a down-home gal in bib overalls and a white painter’s cap worn backward, a funny, plain-spoken woman doing “man’s work” before feminism made the term quaint. The show ran from 1965 to 1971. Looking back at it, Canfield had mixed feelings. “To be remembered for Ralph kind of upsets me — only in the sense that it was so easy and undemanding,” she said in a 2006 interview with the Bangor Daily News in Maine, where she lived for many years. “It’s being known for something easy to do instead of something you worked hard to achieve.” Canfield also appeared on TV in “Bewitched,” “General Hospital,” “The Love Boat” and other shows. In a memorable 1963 episode of “The Andy Griffith Show,” she was Gomer Pyle’s blind date; the two socially awkward, lovable bumpkins defied everyone’s expectations and had a wonderful time, jitterbugging. Born in Rochester, N.Y., on Sept. 3, 1924, Canfield attended an acting school run by famed teacher Jason Deeter in Rose Valley, Pa. “I didn’t want to go to college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do,” she said. “Later, when I asked my parents what they thought of this little skinny girl wanting to be an actress, they said they were so relieved that I wanted to do something.’' Canfield appeared in Broadway and off-Broadway plays before heading to Hollywood. Her early TV shows included “The Hathaways,” a 1961-62 sitcom about a Los Angeles couple and their three performing chimps. Canfield played the housekeeper. Her film work includes a role as the ironically named Angelica, a sourpuss upstairs maid in “Pollyanna” (1960). In “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” a 1983 adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story, she plays a seventh-grade teacher whose world is shattered by a diabolical traveling circus. Canfield lived in Montecito from 1968 to 1984 and then moved to Sedgwick, Maine. She had fallen in love with the state during summer stock productions there years before, her daughter said. She relocated to Santa Barbara in 2011, when her health was declining. Her first marriage, to Charles Carey, ended in divorce in 1955. In addition to daughter Phoebe, Canfield is survived by John Bischof, her husband of 25 years; daughter Alison Carey; and three grandsons. [contact link]

Early photo of Agnes Moorehead
This is the earliest photo I could find of the talented actress Agnes Moorehead. If you have any details about this photo like when it might have been taken please leave a comment and I'll update the description.

2020 Update: Thanks to some sleuthing by Peter Nosko the photographer seems to be Irving Chidnoff who was a celebrity photographer in New York City that was active between the years 1925-1948.

Given that Agnes was born in 1900, I'd say this photo was likely taken around 1925-1930.
