Contrary to urban legend, the very last memo Walt Disney wrote before his death was "CIA...Mobley", referring to Roger Mobley, who at the time, was a Disney staple in the popular "Adventures of Gallegher" serials. (see "Walt Disney's last memo" on YouTube) Born in Evansville, Indiana, the one time Disney favorite was one of eight talented children who could sing and play musical instruments. Roger was the novelty portion (age 3) of a singing trio, which included an older brother and sister. Performing in carnivals and fairs, the kids eventually made an appearance on Ted Mack & the Original Amateur Hour (1948), where a talent agent spotted Roger and signed him up.
A recurring role as Packy Lambert on Fury (1955) on Saturday mornings came about in 1957 and he stayed with the show for almost three years.
The young actor was already appearing in a number of TV westerns (Gunsmoke (1955), Cheyenne (1955), The Virginian (1962)) and eight episodes of Wagon Train (1957), along with dozens of other guest roles, and a few low-budget films (notably the animal picture The Silent Call (1961), which was the last role for the lovely 1940s and 1950s star Gail Russell) and the light comedy feature Dime with a Halo (1963)) when Disney signed him to play the title role in the popular "Gallegher" episodes on The Magical World of Disney (1954), that show's highest-rated serials according to the Disney Vault. Roger also appeared in a couple of the studio's popular feature films, notably Emil and the Detectives (1964).
His five-year stay at Disney came to an end when Roger was drafted into the U.S. Army. He volunteered for an extra year so that he could complete Parachute Jump School and Special Forces Training at Ft. Bragg, N.C. Upon completion of his 9 month Green Beret Training, Mobley was assigned to the 46th Special Forces Co. 1st Special Forces in Thailand. He married high school sweetheart Sharie Barclay, and upon being honorably discharged from the Army in 1970, he discovered that his parents had only set aside $6,000 for him from his extensive work over an 11 year period. He also discovered he did not receive a warm welcome from Hollywood upon his return. Mobley and his wife, Sharie Barclay Mobley, moved to Texas where he joined the ranks of the Beaumont (Texas) Police Department.
Roger attempted a comeback with Disney in the late 1970s but only nabbed a couple of bit roles and moved back to his beloved Texas. He tried his hand at welding in the shipyard, cowboying in the Texas panhandle, coaching, bull riding, undercover narcotics officer, truck driver, and eventually became a climber/inspector of 300-foot wind turbines being constructed all over the country. For relaxation and enjoyment Roger rides his adopted mustang "Sonny" and catches and sells live rattlesnakes. The joy of his life is his 9 grandchildren.- Marcia was born and grew up in Evansville, Indiana on the Ohio River.

Matt Williams is best known as the creator and executive producer of the hit series Roseanne and the co-creator and executive producer of Home Improvement, one of the most successful programs in television history. Williams joined The Cosby Show during its premiere season and worked as a writer/producer on the show for three subsequent seasons, during which time his work was honored with Emmy and Humanitas nominations, as well as sharing a Peabody Award for outstanding achievement in television writing. He also served as co-creator of the Cosby spin-off, A Different World.
In 1989, Williams formed Wind Dancer Production Group with principals Carmen Finestra and David McFadzean. Under the Wind Dancer banner, Williams co-created and executive produced Home Improvement, Carol & Company, starring Carol Burnette, Buddies with Dave Chappelle, Thunder Alley, Soul Man and Costello. Once again, his work received Emmy and Humanitas nominations, as well as winning numerous People's Choice Awards.
In film, Williams produced and directed Where The Heart Is, starring Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd. He produced Nancy Meyer's romantic comedy What Women Want with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt; executive produced the critically acclaimed drama Firelight with Sophie Marceau and served as co-writer and producer of Disney's award-winning Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. Most recently, Williams co-wrote, produced, and directed Walker Payne, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film stars Jason Patric, San Shepard, Drea de Matteo, KaDee Strickland and Bruce Dern.- This knowing, plump-framed, strong-willed actress went on to play the gamut of emotions, from downtrodden, drunken ex-stars to self-controlled dowager empresses, in both silent pictures and early talkies. Grandly supporting the huge stars of her day (including Rudolph Valentino and Will Rogers), she actually started out as a celebrated singer from the vaudeville and Broadway stages; films came much later. While she wasn't as extensively captured on celluloid as, say, a Jane Darwell and is less remembered these days, Louise Dresser nevertheless created a daunting gallery of character matrons in her time and earned the respect of Hollywood.
The Hoosier-born and -bred Dresser was born Lulu Josephine Kerlin in Evansville, Indiana, on October 5, 1878, and raised there as the daughter of William and Ida Kerlin, he being a train engineer. She sang as a child and grew up as part of various choirs and shows in town. The family moved to Columbus, Ohio, when she reached her teens (he was killed in a railroad accident not long after their move). With a burning desire to perform professionally, the pretty 16-year-old ran away from home, abandoned her schooling and set her heart on making a career for herself in entertainment. She actively pursued singing roles that could benefit her contralto voice in stock, burlesque and vaudeville. She eventually changed her stage name to Louise Kerlin. During this time she became the lovely singing protégé of Tin Pan Alley composer Paul Dresser (né Paul Dreiser). Known at the time for such songs as "On the Banks of the Wabash" and "Far Away", it was Dresser, the brother of novelist Theodore Dreiser, who changed Louise's marquee name to Louise Dresser, and it was Louise who introduced Paul's biggest song hit to American ears, "My Gal Sal". Her affiliation with Paul helped earn her the billing "The Girl from the Wabash."
While on the vaudeville circuit Louise met and married Jack Norworth, a performing monologist, best known in later years for providing the lyrics to such old-time classics as "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and "Shine On, Harvest Moon." She made her Broadway debut in "About Town" in 1906, which starred her husband, who also provided the songs. By the time Louise settled into the Broadway scene, however, the couple had divorced (after eight years). Noted for her charm and elegance, Louise specialized in light operettas and musical comedy, and year after year increased her marquee value with such New York musical shows as "The Girls of Gottenberg" (1908), "The Candy Shop" (1909), "A Matinee Idol" (1910), and "From Broadway to Paris" (1912).
Louise met Broadway singing star Jack Gardner (1873-1950) along the way. They married in 1908, a year after her divorce from Norworth. The couple went on to headline together in vaudeville but, interestingly, never managed to appear together on the Great White Way. Into the next decade she graced the New York stage with such singing vehicles as George M. Cohan's "Hello, Broadway!" (1914), and in two of Jerome Kern's: "Have a Heart" (1917) and "Rock-a-Bye, Baby" (1918).
Louise and husband Gardner decided to make a daring pitch for film work by moving to California in 1920. She debuted at age 44 with the film The Glory of Clementina (1922); her actor/singer husband, who appeared in the pictures Hollywood (1923) and Bluff (1924), actually found more success as a Fox Films executive. Forsaking her musical career, she now served as a reliable character actress in silents, making indelible impressions as the title character in The Goose Woman (1925) and as Catherine the Great in the Rudolph Valentino classic The Eagle (1925).
Louise, Janet Gaynor and Gloria Swanson were nominated for the very first "Best Actress" Oscar award, Louise for her strong, touching portrayal of a Hungarian immigrant in A Ship Comes In (1928) opposite Joseph Schildkraut. It was Gaynor, however, who earned the distinction of holding up the first trophy (for her work in three roles) while Swanson and Dresser received "Citations of Merit". Other famous ladies of history Louise addressed in films would include Calamity Jane in Caught (1931) and Empress Elizabeth in The Scarlet Empress (1934).
In the early 1930s the actress made a rare return to the stage with the play "A Plain Man and His Wife" in Pasadena, CA. Quite settled by this time in films, she became a familiar presence opposite homespun comedian Will Rogers in such unassuming Rogers vehicles as Lightnin' (1930), State Fair (1933), Doctor Bull (1933), David Harum (1934) and The County Chairman (1935). Rogers' tragic death in a plane accident ended a very warm and lucrative association she had with the beloved humorist. The devastated Dresser made only one film after that, the Claudette Colbert / Fred MacMurray drama Maid of Salem (1937), which recalled the Salem witch trials of the late 1600s.
Louise and husband Gardner retired to their home in Glendale, CA, where she primarily tended to her favorite pastime (gardening), along with taking part in numerous charitable affairs, notably for the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital. Her husband died in 1950 and she followed suit a decade and a half later following surgery for an intestinal blockage on April 24, 1965, in Woodland Hills, CA. She was interred at Forest Lawn Cemetary in Glendale. - Producer

Screenwriter and producer Jeri Taylor has become best known for her association with the Star trek franchise. A graduate in English from Indiana University and holder of a Master's Degree from California State University, Taylor ran an acting workshop in L.A. and directed local stage productions before turning to screenwriting in 1979. Through an agent, she secured several assignments as a freelance writer, subsequently contributing a number of scripts to the popular forensic crime series Quincy, M.E. (1976), as well as becoming story editor and producer. She also worked as writer/producer on episodes of Magnum, P.I. (1980), In the Heat of the Night (1988) and Jake and the Fatman (1987).
In 1990, on the recommendation of fellow Quincy collaborator Lee Sheldon, Taylor was contracted by the executive producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). After completing her first assignment, a teleplay for the fourth season episode Suddenly Human, she became a permanent fixture on the show, first as staff writer and later as co-executive producer alongside Rick Berman and Michael Piller. She also became involved in other aspects of production, including casting, editing and post-production. Taylor was promoted to showrunner for the final season in 1993.
During her tenure on TNG, Taylor attempted to put a stronger focus on the two main female characters (Troi and Crusher), elevating them from what she described as 'caretaker roles'. While many of Taylor's scripts were concerned with family issues and relationships, she also worked on notably edgy episodes, like Night Terrors, Silicon Avatar and part one of Unification, which featured Leonard Nimoy's Spock. Her episode The Wounded introduced the Cardassians (make-up artist Michael Westmore had tasked her with finding a name for this race and Taylor initially came up with 'Carvillians' and 'Circassians', before tweaking the name).
When TNG ended its run, Taylor joined Berman and Piller as co-creator of Star Trek Voyager, taking over as showrunner until the end of season four. After handing over the reins to Brannon Braga in 1998, Taylor continued on as creative consultant for another three years. Her management style has been described as approachable and easygoing, director Cliff Bole praising her as being "always available", while Jonathan Frakes commented "she's great to work with as a director and an actor" and she "cares about actors and writing and all aspects of the show".
Jeri Taylor has authored several Star Trek novelizations, including 'Unification', 'Mosaic' (a back story for Voyager's Captain Janeway) and 'Pathways'. She is the mother of actor Alexander Enberg, who appeared in a semi-regular role on Voyager as the Vulcan Ensign Vorik.- Actress

"Look for the Silver Lining" became the appropriate signature song for one of Broadways's most popular musical stage stars of the 1920s, Marilyn Miller, for she embodied a vibrant, child-like optimism in her very best "happily ever after" showcases. Such happiness, however, did not extend into her personal life.
She was born Mary Ellen Reynolds in Evansville, Indiana, in 1898. Her father was a telephone lineman and her mother a theater aspirant. Her parents divorced when Marilyn was a child and she was raised by her mother and stepfather (last name Miller), who was an acrobat and song-and-dance man in vaudeville. She joined her family (which included two sisters) in a family act billed as "The Five Columbians" which proved popular on the Midwest circuit. They also toured outside of the country when bookings were slim. When she went out on her own she abbreviated her first name to Marilyn and adopted her stepfather's last name of Miller.
While performing in a London club in 1914, she caught the eye of Broadway producer Lee Shubert, who brought her to New York for his "Passing Show" revues of 1914, 1915 and 1917. Marilyn became an instant hit with her vivid, yet delicate, beauty. However, it was her association with Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. in 1918 that put her over the top. Seeing her great potential, he took her under his wing, expanded her repertoire, focused on her tap and ballet talents and provided her with singing and acting lessons. She became a top headliner in his Follies shows of 1918 and 1919. Her first full-out performance was in Ziegfeld's "Sally" in 1920, where she introduced the song "Look for the Silver Lining." The show was a monster hit. Their professional and personal relationship became badly intertwined, however, and she soon severed the union. Producer Charles B. Dillingham, Ziegfeld's rival, signed her on and handed her the title role in "Peter Pan," which received lukewarm reviews. Her second show with Dillingham was entitled "Sunny," which introduced the soon-to-be standards "Who?" and "D'Ye Love Me?" Marilyn became the toast of Broadway once again and her salary soared to $3,000 per week, making her the highest-paid musical comedy performer in New York at the time.
She reconciled with Ziegfeld in 1928 and performed in the Gershwin musical "Rosalie" to enthusiastic audiences. Hollywood took an interest but Marilyn's venture into films would be very brief. She recreated two of her stage hits to film at the advent of sound. Sally (1929) and Sunny (1930) were warmly received, as was the musical Her Majesty, Love (1931), but that would be her third and final film. Most of Marilyn's showcases were based on Cinderella-like, poor-girl-meets-rich-boy romances. Unlike her sweet-natured stage characters, however, Marilyn had an extremely volatile diva-like demeanor and proved highly difficult to work with. Her three marriages were also immensely unhappy ones. Her first husband, stage actor Frank Carter, was killed in a car crash after only a year of marriage; second husband Jack Pickford, the brother of silent screen legend Mary Pickford, was a drug and alcohol abuser (they divorced); and third husband, stage manager Chester "Chet" O'Brien was a ne'er-do-well and opportunist. She died before they were divorced.
Marilyn's last stage triumph was "As Thousands Cheer" in 1933. Her health began to deteriorate rapidly after that, aggravated by an increasing dependency on alcohol. Suffering from recurring sinus infections, she was in a severely weakened state by the time she died of complications following nasal surgery at the age of 37. A sad end to such a bright symbol of hope and youthful exuberance. A superficial, highly sanitized version of Marilyn's life was made in the form of the biopic Look for the Silver Lining (1949) with June Haver starring as Marilyn.- Paula Leggett Chase was born on 2 September 1961 in Evansville, Indiana, USA. She is an actress, known for 30 Rock (2006), Younger (2015) and The Sound of Music Live! (2013). She has been married to David Chase since 19 December 1992. They have two children.
- Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Todd Duffee knocked out in stone what he was set on doing as a full-time career. He was born in Evansville, Indiana on December 6, 1985, spending his formative years in Raleigh, Illinois. At age 16, Todd had moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he joined a boxing gym and thus started training. His learning experience about the MMA was enhanced with viewings of old Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fights he rented. Not long after this, Todd began training at a MMA gym. Upon entering the MMA circuit, Todd found success against several fighters and earned a notable triumph over UFC and PRIDE FC veteran fighter Assuiero Silva with a knockout victory during their second round together. He graduated to fighting in the UFC, scheduled to make his debut showing at UFC #99, held on June of 2009 until the UFC withdrew him to insert another fighter. This revision of scheduled fights happened once more until Todd was at last matched against Tim Hague at UFC #102 held on August 2009 in Portland, Oregon. This match was an impressive victory for the boxing-based fighter as he scored a record-setting fast knockout against Hague. At UFC #114, he was matched against Mike Russow, a fellow newcomer in a bout that ended in an upset defeat for Todd by way of a knockout during their third round. As time continued while in the UFC, a series of injuries often time led to Todd Duffee being replaced with other fighters, thus he did not fight much. Eventually in 2010, on September 7, Todd was released from the UFC. Afterwards, he began fighting in other, smaller fighting leagues. Outside of the fighting spectrum, Todd Duffee trains at the Colorado-based facility Grudge Training Center. He also has his own fan page and made his first acting debut in Never Back Down 2 (2011) (V)

- Mike Warnke rose to fame in the mid-1970s as a Gospel-oriented comedian and lecturer, claiming to have been a former Satanic high priest. Both his albums and his autobiography "The Satan Seller" sold in the millions, and Warnke became both a favorite among Contemporary Christian performers, and a preferred lecturer of anti-occult movements, who considered him an expert on Satanism and the "international Satanic conspiracy".
In 1992, two investigative journalists from Cornerstone magazine belatedly researched Warnke's background and interviewed people from his past; what had begun as a friendly biography turned instead into a full-blown exposé of lies and deceptions, dating back some twenty years. Old friends and acquaintances (who hadn't spoken out up to the time, thinking either nobody would listen, or that his ministry had been helping others) told a very different story from Warnke's, while proceeds from his records and performances (including donations made on behalf of a troubled-youth center he was supposedly developing) had gone to build a church in a remote location where services were never held, to pay off persons who'd left his ministry (including two ex-wives) to keep them from publically denouncing him - or into Warnke's own pocket. (Even the stories related in "The Satan Seller" were shown to be inconsistent and unreliable, both with modern Satanism and with the calendar; nobody could have done all the things he'd described doing in the time-frame allowed, even with the Devil's help.)
Warnke defended his actions and statements, explaining "I am a comedian- I tell stories (to entertain and to make a point)", but he couldn't
