1. Lauren Graham
   Although Lauren Graham has proven to be an excellent actress in the WB dramedy Gilmore Girls, her acting career has brought her through many roles aside from the clever and quirky Lorelai Gilmore. With roles in Caroline in the City, Third Rock from the Sun, Seinfeld, NewsRadio, and Law and Order, this talented beauty has experience in the acting field. Lauren has ... acted in NBC shows Conrad Bloom and M.Y.O.B. and in the ABC show Townies. Graham can be seen in the tv-movie Dill Scallion and in the 2001 movie Sweet November as Keanu Reeves's girlfriend.
2. Graham Chapman -- Filming
   Chapman faced medical challenges of his own. He suffered from alcoholism for several years, but gave up drinking during the filming of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when he realized that the situation had gotten out of hand. In 1977 he entered a hospital to undergo a recovery process and thereafter completely abstained from alcohol.
3. Lauren Graham -- Acting
   Lauren Graham's ultra-feminine beauty can be traced to her Irish ancestry. She stands tall at 5'9" with a curvy but slender physique. Her bright blue-green eyes, which sometimes appear ocean blue and other times emerald green, contrast perfectly with her fair skin. And her long, flowing brown hair is naturally curly.
4. Graham Greene -- Quiet American
   Loving Graham Greene is a beautifully controlled story about a woman unable to control the consequences of her acts; G. K. Wuori’s novel, An American Outrage, lets itself go from the beginning. It’s a blowsy, folksy, tragi-comic, catch-as-catch-can tale of lives gone off the rails in a small town in Maine. Quillifarkeag–Quilli, for short–has few claims to fame; it "has its basic streets and roads, its basic services. Its institutions consist of a few churches and schools, a branch of the state university, a modest hospital, and a good-sized potato-processing plant whose french fries you have eaten." (It ... provided the setting for Wuori’s previous book, the story collection, Nude in Tub.)
5. Tom Courtenay -- Billy Liar
   Adapted by Keith Waterhouse from his own play and co-written by Willis Hall, the movie concerns young Billy Fisher (Tom Courtenay), who works at a funeral home and daydreams Walter Mitty-style about being dictator of his own imaginary country, Ambrosia. Billy's second-biggest problem at the moment is that he was supposed to have mailed out 250 funeral home calendars as Christmas presents, but instead took the postage money and hid the evidence. His biggest problem is that he has become engaged to two girls at the same time, the monkey-faced Rita (Gwendolyn Watts) and the shrewish Barbara (Helen Fraser). Even worse, he's ... in love with dreamy and free-wheeling Liz (Julie Christie, in one of her first big roles).
6. Billy Bob Thornton -- Beautiful Door
   Arkansas native Billy Bob Thornton has repeatedly returned to his Southern roots as a musician while developing as an actor and his fourth album, "Beautiful Door," reveals a gifted and maturing songwriter. A melancholy mood permeates the 12 tracks, which Thornton co-wrote with guitarist Brad Davis, as he explores deeply introspective and political themes. Heartfelt title track is a message aimed at fanatics bent on killing the innocent; "Always Countin'" concerns Thornton's struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Thornton, whose monotone vocals benefit from Graham Nash's harmony vocals on three tracks, is able to confront his inner demons and provide a poignant perspective on the world's problems.
7. The Gospel -- John Bredar
   The Gospel of John features an original musical score recorded by the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra at Air Lyndhurst Studios in London. Written by acclaimed film and television composer, Jeff Danna (The Kid Stays in the Picture, The Grey Zone, and A Wrinkle in Time).
8. Joel Olsteen -- Message
   Joel is a public figure who has made himself a poster child for Evangelical Christianity - he has basked in the world's limelight as his interview on Larry King shows. Because of his very public ministry, his book writing and his appearances in secular media, he is open to public scrutiny. And that public scrutiny has revealed him to have more in common with Tony Robbins than with Billy Graham. He is an exceptional motivational speaker. He acknowledges the Bible at the beginning of his motivational speeches and then rarely refers to it again. His message is positive and uplifting - but hardly a balanced biblical presentation.
9. Jerry Falwell -- Liberty University
   Shortly after graduation, Jerry Falwell established the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg. Also around this time, he began the Old Time Gospel Hour, a religious radio and television program. Besides preaching the gospel, Falwell wanted to build a Christian educational system. He founded the Lynchburg Christian Academy in 1967 and Liberty Baptist College, which now known as Liberty University, in 1971.
10. Evangelicalism -- Lutheran Church
    The Rise of Evangelicalism is the first in a series of five volumes dealing with the history of evangelicalism since the Great Awakening. Each volume will be authored by a different scholar and should be a valuable tool toward the understanding of recent church history in Great Britain and North America.
