sitcom, Alice (1976-1985), for which she won two Golden Globes (1978, 1979) and was

sitcom's theme song, "There's a New Girl in Town". Although she is known for her television
work, which also includes a stint on Barney Miller (1975-1976), guest appearances on a
number of series and a long list of TV movies, the actress had a successful Broadway career
as well. Lavin, who made her off-Broadway debut in 1960, made her Broadway bow two
years later in A Family Affair. She won a Tony Award for Broadway Bound (1987) and was
nominated for Tonys in 1970, 1998 and 2001. Lavin also appeared on the big screen,
beginning with 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan. Actor HAL LINDEN, born Harold
Lipschitz in 1931, is best known for playing the title character in the Emmy-nominated
sitcom, Barney Miller, which was televised from 1975-1980. Linden, who began his
performing career as a clarinetist and a vocalist (he toured with Sammy Kaye), first appeared
on Broadway in The Bells Are Ringing in 1958. He appeared in a number of Broadway
shows, including On A Clear Day, You Can See Forever (1965-1966), Three Men on a Horse
(1969-1970) and The Pajama Game (1973-1974), breaking into TV on Car 54, Where Are
You? (1963). In 1971, Linden won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for The
Rothschilds. He appeared in several made-for-TV movies before making his film debut in 1979,
and his credits include I Do! I Do! (1984), The Colony (1995), Out to Sea (1997) and Time
Changer (2002). Linden's work on the small screen includes hosting the Peabody
Award-winning Animals, Animals, Animals (1976-1980), appearing on "FYI" (his Emmy
Award-winning daytime information spots on ABC) and appearances on a number of TV
shows, including Touched By An Angel (1996, 2001), The Nanny (1999), The Drew Carey
Show (1999), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2003) and Will & Grace (2004). JOANNE

production The Heidi Chronicles (1989). Since that Broadway success, she has appeared in
a few other productions, including Dinner at Eight (2002-2003). Her screen credits include
Kennedy (1983), Warrior Woman (2011), and Private Parts (1997). TOM HEWITT is
known for his Broadway musicals, including The Lion King and Jesus Christ Superstar, and his
Tony-nominated role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (2000). He has also sung opera
with the New York Philharmonic, and appeared on TV series like Frasier, Third Watch and
Law & Order. BRYAN O'BYRNE (1931-2009) made his New York stage debut opposite
Vivien Leigh in Duel of Angels (1958), and his first TV guest spot (on Maverick) dates from the
same year. The Hollywood Reporter called O'Byrne a specialist in "milquetoast" roles, and
he made over 200 TV commercials. He was known for befriending young actors, from Marlon
Brando to Nick Nolte. REX ROBBINS (1935-2003) appeared in 18 Broadway plays, and
toured nationally with Angela Lansbury in Gypsy and Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly! His movie
appearances extend from Shaft (1971) to The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). AMY RYAN (b.

(2005); and Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Gone Baby Gone (2007). She has
