Lola Falana
Lola Falana rose to fame with her multi-talents in acting, dancing, and singing, and with some help from Dinah Washington and Sammy Davis Jr. Lola was actually born in New Jersey and grew up in Philadelphia but actually made her break into stardom in Italy, where she became a pretty big name in Italian cinema. She got her American film debut with The Liberation of L.B. Jones in 1970, and later earned herself the nickname “Queen of Las Vegas” when she had a dance show there. Sadly, in 1987 Lola was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and stopped acting and performing in 1989, although she did do a stage appearance for a local theater in Branson, Missouri in 1997. Lola now spends a lot of her time working with the church group she founded, and a charity that helps children in Africa called Save Sub-Saharan Orphans.

Jaclyn Smith
Jaclyn Smith will always be remembered as the smart and beautiful Kelly from the show Charlie’s Angels. After the show ended, Jaclyn continued to act and was in numerous television shows and films, and is also a clothing designer, and is actually one of the first celebrities to have released her very own clothing line! She has been married since 1997 to Dr. Brad Allen, a cardiothoracic surgeon. In 2003 she had a tough battle with breast cancer and thankfully beat it, and years later actually appeared in a documentary about breast cancer.
