1. Michael Christie -- Season
   Michael Christie was the final guest conductor to lead the Alabama Symphony Orchestra this season. Mr. Christie conduced the Masterworks series May 20th and 21st at the Alys Stephens Center. The program featured Rachel Lee performaing Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 as well as Bruckner's Symphony No. 5 in A Major.
2. Kevin Nealon -- Subliminal Man
   Kevin Nealon lives in the Lake Tahoe area. He spends his spare time protecting animal interests and donating time to local shelters. He was most recently on the big screen in Anger Management with Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, John Turturro, Marisa Tomei and John C. Reilly and in Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy.
3. Kevin Nealon -- Comedian Kevin Nealon
   Kevin Nealon is not just any guy, he is one heck of a talented and limitless comedian. Performing for nine fruitful seasons on “Saturday Night Live” (from 1986 to 1995) is surely proof enough. He actually holds the record for longest-running cast member in the show's existence for consecutive seasons, a feat which Kevin Nealon shares with none other than Tim Meadows. Now that record is an entertainment feat not many comics are fortunate to enjoy, especially in such a well-praised and popular television show. This guy truly has become a household name and he deserves it.
4. Zarah Leander -- War
   After the war Zarah Leander was often questioned about her years in Nazi-Germany. Though she would willingly talk about her past, she stubbornly rejected allegations of her having had sympathy for the nazi regime. She claimed that her position as a german film superstar merely had been that of an entertainer working to please an enthusiastic audience in a difficult time. She repeatedly described herself as a political idiot.
5. Maximilian Schell -- Marlene Dietrich
   Perhaps because his acting career has been somewhat restricted in breadth, Schell turned to other aspects of filmmaking. In 1968 he produced a treatment of Franz Kafka's The Castle, and in 1970 he directed his first film, First Love, based on a short novel by Ivan Turgenev. In 1974 The Pedestrian, which Schell co-produced, directed, wrote, and acted in, was nominated for an Academy Award as best foreign-language film. But his 1984 documentary Marlene on the life of the legendary film star Marlene Dietrich remains one of his most interesting achievements. Dietrich agreed to cooperate with Schell in the making of the film, but when the cameras started to roll, she turned the tables on him by refusing to appear on camera. His sleight-of-hand in suggesting her presence through the use of silhouettes and other techniques turned what might otherwise have been a standard "talking head" piece into a visually stunning tour de force.
6. Johannes Brahms -- Music
   Johannes Brahms was a master of the compositional craft. He often used established techniques, such as counterpoint, especially in his sets of variations, but in such novel and refreshing ways that the listener first perceives the beauty and strength of the music and only later becomes aware of the composer's technical mastery.
7. Elissa Landi
   Elissa Landi was an actress in 1923 - 1943 and a writer 1944 - 1948 writing 6 novels and books on poetry. She was born Elizabeth-Marie Kuhnelt in Venice, Italy December 6, 1904 and lived only 43 years until 1948 when she died of cancer in New York. She had one daughter, Carolyn Maude Thomas. Elissa Landi is believed by some people to have been the secret granddaughter of Sissi (Empress Elizabeth), the beautiful consort of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria.

8. Dana Carvey
   Dana Carvey is among the elite comedic talents of his generation. From 1986 to 1992, he was a repertory member of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," where he created such enduring characters as Church Lady, Hans of the "Hans and Franz" body-building duo and Garth Algar of the iconic "Wayne's World" franchise.

9. Saturday Night Live -- Chevy Chase
   "Saturday Night Live" presents "The Best of Cheri Oteri." A cast member who emerged early as a star in her time on the show from 1995-2000, Oteri led the first wave of hilarious women on the show into the 21st Century. Included in the 90 minute special are such indelible Oteri characters as Arianna the Spartan Spirit Cheerleader and Cass Van Ry the clueless co-host of "Morning Latte," both opposite Will Ferrell. Other popular characters included are the cantankerous Rita, the oversexed Mrs. Zimmerman (opposite Chris Kattan), Nadine (who demands that you "Simma Down Now") and the prescription-addled Collette Reardon. In addition, Oteri created impeccable impressions ranging from Barbara Walters in the hilarious parodies of "The View" as well as Judge Judy and Debbie Reynolds in the uproarious "Leg Up" sketch with Molly Shannon as Ann Miller. Superstar hosts featured with Oteri on this "Best Of" include Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, Tobey Maguire, Christopher Walken and Chevy Chase.
