- Noble Craig was a Vietnam war veteran and creature performer in a handful of horror and fantasy films. Noble was shipped off to Vietnam in 1969. On his 12th day of duty in Vietnam Craig stepped on a buried artillery shell, which resulted in the loss of both his legs, one of his arms, and most of the sight in his right eye. Undaunted, Noble embarked on a brief acting career after returning to America. Craig made his film debut as Tim McGraw, the Snake Man in Sssssss (1973). Craig went on to play such memorably grotesque characters as the vomit creature in Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and the sewer monster in Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Moreover, Noble was the kind of guy who lived life to the fullest: He not only engaged in such activities as scuba diving, water skiing, jumping from planes, and swimming in the ocean in both Hawaii and Costa Rica, but also was a hunter and a dancer. In addition, Craig raised five children and worked as a car, boat, and motorcycle mechanic. Noble died on April 26, 2018.

Gianfranco Parolini was born on 20 February 1925 in Rome, Lazio, Italy. He was a writer and director, known for The Three Fantastic Supermen (1967), This Time I'll Make You Rich (1974) and The Secret of the Incas' Empire (1987).

She started in the early 1940s as a chorus girl for the Earl Carroll Vanities. Like most chorus girls in Los Angeles, she eventually found herself in the motion picture industry.
Woodbury's natural beauty and unique personality enabled her to get work as a chorus girl in various pictures in the 1940s. Woodbury's real job though was to help promote the films by appearing at various promotional events while the movies were premiered. It was during this time that Woodbury became deeply entrenched in the motion picture industry.
By the 1950s, movies were no longer focusing on chorus girls and they would typically hire professional dancers to choreograph routines so Woodbury decided to transition into regularly doing background work. Her undeniable beauty made her an ideal choice to appear in dramas and westerns. Her background as a dancer helped her gain employment in various dancing sequences of the 1950s and 1960s. She would frequently appear in western television shows as a square dancer or nightclubs run by gangsters on television shows like The Untouchables.
During the 1960s, Woodbury became a regular on Lucille Ball's various television shows including a credited role on The Lucy Show where she interacts with Lucile Ball. Like most extras, Woodbury's career started to fade by the late 1960s due to ageism and dependability. The studios were no longer producing shows where there were dancing sequences or television shows where her looks could be utilized. Like a true professional, she continued to accept work when she was given it.
By the 1970s, Woodbury struggled with various issues that affected her ability to be cast in several productions. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, she continued to appear in various productions. During this time her now aged appearance stereotyped as a barfly or a pedestrian. She was eventually awarded a few credited roles and continued to work until she retired in the 2000s.
Judith Woodbury's career featured a lot of ups and downs but it was the true characters like her that helped build the motion picture business to what it was today. She was a true professional who did what she was told and who coworkers truly enjoyed being around. - Juan Carlos Olivas was an actor, known for 2033 (2009), Pamela por amor (2008) and Kipatla (2012).
