JoAnne Worley - She's classy, sassy and undeniably brassy and she put the laugh in Laugh-In. Many of us tuned in weekly to watch her zany antics on the late '60s TV series "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In."

From television and the silver screen to the boards of Broadway, she is instantly recognized with a mere raucous laugh and trademark twirl of pearls or pointed digit embedded in her cheek. She appeared on numerous televisions shows since then and through the years has done voices in a number of films, including the Academy Award Winning Beauty and The Beast.

Most recently she was seen in "Wicked" in Los Angeles and in "Drousy Chaperone" on Broadway. She has tackled and conquered nightclubs, musical theater productions, game shows, talk shows, cartoons, commercials, and even opera.

3/24 Robert Conrad and co-host Jennifer Horn Talk with Cliff Robertson


A serious and talented actor, at his best playing somewhat troubled characters, Cliff Robertson has been a fairly successful leading man through most of his career without ever becoming a major star. Following strong stage and television experience, he made an interesting film debut in a supporting role in Picnic (1955). He then played Joan Crawford's deranged young husband in Autumn Leaves (1956) and was given leads in films of fair quality such as The Naked and the Dead (1958), Gidget (1959) and The Big Show (1961).


He supplemented his somewhat unsatisfactory big-screen work with interesting appearances on television, including the lead male role in the small-screen version of "Days of Wine and Roses" in 1958. Robertson could be effective playing a chilling petty criminal obsessed with avenging his father in the B-feature Underworld U.S.A. (1961) or a pleasant doctor in the popular hospital melodrama The Interns (1962). However, significant public notice eluded him until he was picked by President John F. Kennedy to play the young JFK during the latter's WWII experience in PT 109 (1963).


Robertson gave some of his best performances: a ruthless presidential candidate in The Best Man (1964), a modern-day Mosca in an updated version of Ben Jonson's "Volpone", The Honey Pot (1967), and most memorably as a mentally retarded man in Charly (1968), for which he won an Academy award for best actor. His critical success with "Charly" allowed him to continue starring in some good films in the 1970s, including Too Late the Hero (1970), The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1972) and Obsession (1976).


He also acted in, directed and co-produced the fine rodeo drama J.W. Coop (1971) and The Pilot (1980). Since then, he has remained active mostly in supporting roles, notably playing Hugh M. Hefner in Star 80 (1983). More recently, he had supporting parts in Escape from L.A. (1996) and younger viewers recognize him as Peter Parker's Uncle, Ben Parker in the Spider-Man I, II & III Series (2002-2007).
