Andy Richter Controls the Universe is a sitcom which aired from 2002–2003 on
the Fox network. The series was Andy Richter's first starring role after
leaving NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2000.

It ran for two seasons, totaling nineteen episodes, and was canceled due in
part to poor ratings. The show was a joint production of 20th Century Fox
Television and Paramount Network Television. Paramount's successor CBS
Television Distribution has distribution rights to the series in the United
States while Fox retains global distribution rights.
TV Guide included the series in their 2013 list of 60 shows that were
"Cancelled Too Soon".

Characters

The surnames of the characters are very rarely mentioned - with the exception
of Andy, most are only mentioned once in the entire series.
Andy Richter

The character, sharing his name with the actor, is an aspiring writer living
in Chicago who wants to write short stories. However, he is forced to work as
a technical manual writer for Pickering Industries, the fifth largest company
in America, to pay the bills. Andy is shy and not good with women. He doesn't
really want to be working at the company, though he is very good at his job.
Jessica Green Played by Paget Brewster, Jessica worked with Andy for years
before she became the head of Andy's department, and thus, his boss. They
tried dating once, but it didn't work out. She often has to act as an
intermediary between her superiors, and Andy and his co-workers, forcing her
to take sides. She is fairly superficial when it comes to men.

Keith Played by James Patrick Stuart, Keith is Andy's best friend and
co-worker and one usually sticks-up for the other. He is the handsome guy in
the office who has things handed to him because he's good-looking.

Wendy McKay Played by Irene Molloy, Wendy is the receptionist at Andy's
office. As of the pilot, she had only been working there a month. Andy is
attracted to her, but found out that since he had not made a move in a month,
Keith has started to date her.

Byron Togler Played by Jonathan Slavin, Byron is a new illustrator who moves
into Andy's office, which causes Andy annoyance in the pilot episode. Byron
is fairly insecure and shy.

Other characters

Pickering Industries is founded by Mr. Pickering (John Bliss) in 1880.
Despite being over 170 years old, and dead, he appears in several episodes
and has discussions with Andy within his imagination. His viewpoints are
typically antiquated and contrary to political correctness to an extreme
degree. His comments often seem to represent a negative aspect of Andy's
mind, such as guilt, or self-doubt.

Teak (Charlie Finn) and Phil (Sean Gunn) live in the same building as Andy.
They had been members of the same fraternity as Andy, ten years after Andy
was a member. As such, they look up to him. It is hinted that Phil might be
homosexual.

Guest appearances

Conan O'Brien appears as Pickering's new CEO in the episode "Crazy in Rio."
Other stars to have guest roles include Cedric Yarbrough, Jon Cryer, Molly
Sims, Beth Littleford, Rick Peters, Bree Turner, Jarrad Paul, Rex Lee, Lola
Glaudini, and June Lockhart, who plays Andy's grandmother.
Structure

The series' plots were fairly typical of sitcoms with Andy getting himself
into a situation and having to find a solution. The unique aspects were
several unusual devices that defined the show.

First was Richter's voiceover which essentially narrated the plot, as well as
Andy's thought processes in each episode. Secondly, and connected to the
first was Andy's imagination, which was presented onscreen as if it were
reality until it was revealed in a smash cut accompanied by the sound of
rewinding audio tape. This is often used to demonstrate alternatives to what
actually happened for a given event.

A theme of the show which uses these techniques was its original working
title, Anything Can Happen; a thought which Richter imparts to the audience
in the narration of the opening teaser of the series premiere.
Production

Although canceled after two mid-season runs (totaling 19 episodes), reruns
currently air on HDNet. It was also shown on the Paramount Comedy Channel,
the Irish network TV3 and on the Polish edition of Comedy Central.
The outside shots of Andy's office are taken from the Duke & Duke building
from Trading Places.

Barney Miller was an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy television series set in a New York City police station that ran from January 23, 1975 to May 20, 1982 on ABC. It was created by Danny Arnold (who also worked on Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch) and Theodore J. Flicker. The show was frequently directed by Noam Pitlik.
Premise
Captain Barney Miller is in charge of a mixed bunch cops.  These cops interesting quirks that if not understood could be scary but as a team they can solve almost any problem.  You want them on your side and not against you.  They care and they get things done.  Philip K. Fish a Jewish-American.  Stanley "Wojo" Wojciehowicz is Polish-American.  Ronald Nathan Harris is African-American.  Nick Yemana is Japanese-American.  By the way Yemana makes bad coffee and he makes it every day.  Carl Levitt is a small officer who wants to be a detective.  Chief Inspector Franklin Luger is the gangs superior.  He almost never stops talking.  Chano Amanguale is Puerto Rican.  He was later replaced by Arthur P. Dietrech from the third season on.  Dietrech is funny with a straight face.  I didn't get to know Amanguale that well.  I'll look him up on Ancestory.com  .   
The show's focus was split between the detectives' interactions with each other and with the suspects and witnesses they detained, processed, and interviewed. Some typical conflicts and long running plotlines included Barney's frustration with red tape and paperwork, his constant efforts to maintain peace, order, and discipline, and his numerous failed attempts to get a promotion; Harris's preoccupation with the writing and publication of his novel, and his inability to remain focused on his police work; Fish's incontinence and reluctance to retire; Wojciehowicz's impulsive behavior and love life; Luger's morbid nostalgia for the old days with partners Foster, Kleiner and Brown; Levitt's (eventually successful) quest to be promoted to detective; and the rivalry between the precinct's resident intellectuals, Harris and Dietrich.

It also won Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series in 1980 and Outstanding Directing in a Comedy or Comedy-Variety or Music Series in 1979, and was nominated for numerous others.
It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Comedy or Musical Series in 1976 and 1977, and was nominated for various other Golden Globe Awards.
The show won the Peabody Award in 1979.

Pilot The series was based on an unsold television pilot, The Life and Times of Captain Barney Miller (aired August 22, 1974).  Linden and Vigoda kept their original roles.  
Barney Miller Opening music
The distinctive opening notes of the theme song's bass line, performed by studio musician Jim Hughart, are played over a shot of the New York skyline (with a garbage barge being towed in the foreground, from season-two on) followed by shots of the characters. Several slightly different versions of the theme song featuring minor variations in the song's composition and performance were used during different seasons. The closing credits featured a different shot of the skyline.
Production
As the show went on it looked like a stage play.  This was mostly because the show was mostly filmed using the precinct's squadroom.  Miller's office was also used.  Characters came in and went out and we almost never see outside of the squadroom or Miller's office.  
The show was filmed in long sessions.  It started out being taped in front of a studio audience.  When the audience left, the creator and executive producer Danny Arnold would rewrite and restage scenes.  Taping would go on into the early morning hours.  The series stopped using a studio audience after the first three seasons.
The debut of Barney Miller affected another series, The Six Million Dollar Man.  In November 1974, two months before Barney Miller became a weekly series, the science fiction show had aired an episode entitled "The Seven Million Dollar Man" that introduced a villain named Barney Miller. When this character made a return appearance in the fall of 1975 in an episode entitled "The Bionic Criminal", the character's name was changed to Barney Hiller.

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher is now making about 40 million an episode on Two and a Half Men. Well that makes him a cheap date. Wait......let me review what I just typed. Oh....... 40 million.........thud!!!!! I just fell of my chair......well actually the edge of my bed. Yeah I wanna make money typing stuff.

Okay back to my shock. Yes I said 40 million an episode. I will verify that again. You can tell me if I got it wrong. That buys a lot. I could buy a few houses every month. I could eat more tacos and burritos and chilli cheese fries.

Well this post is about That 70s Show. I wasn't too surprised that he became a huge star. He married Demi and then messed it up by playing around. He doesn't look sad because he can probably catch a good percentage of the female population in his net.

Punked was childish but sometimes really funny. We did get to see celebrities in their real world and unscripted.

So now read about That 70s Show. I will update the posts instead of having brand new posts. So my real fans will madly click on everything they can on the screen. Sounds like high school. Where did you go to high school. Well there is a story I like to brag about but no names and only if you ask me and ...... naaaa. I'm still friends with the girl. It was just ....... okay if I withhold names ....... I don't want to take a chance that some idiot tells some idiot and I lose my friendship.

Here is the summarized version: I was in science class with a hot girl and we were partners for an experiment. The situation was similar to us both picking up our books at the same time and meeting in the middle. That's all. Well that's all I'm telling.   Now just the facts: I bet you didn't know:.......
Christopher Ashton Kutcher (born February 7, 1978) is an American actor, producer, and former model. He is known for his portrayal of Michael Kelso in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. He also created, produced, and hosted Punk'd and had lead roles in the Hollywood films Jobs, Dude, Where's My Car?, Just Married, The Butterfly Effect, The Guardian, and What Happens in Vegas.
Kutcher currently stars as Walden Schmidt on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, since Charlie Sheen's firing from the show in 2011.

Early life

Kutcher was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to factory worker Larry M. Kutcher and Procter & Gamble employee Diane Finnegan. His father is of Czech descent and his mother is of Irish, German, and Czech ancestry. Kutcher was raised in a "relatively conservative" Roman Catholic family. He has an older sister named Tausha and a fraternal twin brother named Michael, who had a heart transplant when the brothers were young children. Michael also has cerebral palsy and is a spokesperson for the advocacy organization Reaching for the Stars.
Michael's cardiomyopathy caused his home life to become increasingly stressful. He has stated that he "didn't want to come home and find more bad news about" his brother, and "[I] kept myself so busy that I didn't allow myself to feel". Kutcher stated that when he was 13, he contemplated committing suicide in order to save his brother's life with a heart transplant; when he told his father he was considering jumping from a Cedar Rapids hospital balcony, his father dissuaded him from doing so shortly before doctors announced that a transplant had become available from an accident victim in another state. Kutcher attended Washington High School in Cedar Rapids for his freshman year, before his family moved to Homestead, Iowa, where he attended Clear Creek Amana High School. During high school, he developed a passion for acting and appeared in school plays.  However, Kutcher's home life worsened as his parents divorced when he was 16. During his senior year, he broke into his high school at midnight with his cousin in an attempt to steal money; he was arrested leaving the scene. Kutcher was convicted of third-degree burglary and sentenced to three years' probation and 180 hours of community service. Kutcher stated that although the experience "straightened him out", he lost his girlfriend and anticipated college scholarships, and he was ostracized at school and in his community.
Kutcher enrolled at the University of Iowa in August 1996, where his planned major was biochemical engineering, motivated by the desire to find a cure for his brother's heart ailment. At college, Kutcher was kicked out of his apartment for being too "noisy" and "wild". Kutcher stated, "I thought I knew everything but I didn't have a clue. I was partying, and I woke up many mornings not knowing what I had done the night before. I played way too hard. I am amazed I am not dead." To earn money for his tuition, Kutcher worked as a college summer hire in the cereal department for the General Mills plant in Cedar Rapids, and sometimes donated blood for money. During his time at UI he was approached by a model scout at a bar called "The Airliner" in Iowa City and was recruited to enter the "Fresh Faces of Iowa" modeling competition. After placing first, he dropped out of college and won a trip to New York City to the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Convention. Following his stay in New York City, Kutcher returned to Cedar Rapids, before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.

Career

Modeling career

After participating in an IMTA competition (losing to Josh Duhamel) in 1998, Kutcher signed with Next modeling agency in New York, appeared in ads for Calvin Klein, and modeled in Paris and Milan.

Television and film career

Kutcher with Two and a Half Men co-star Jon Cryer in September 2011

After his success in modeling, Kutcher moved to Los Angeles after his first audition, was cast as Michael Kelso in the television series That '70s Show, from 1998 and to 2006. Kutcher was cast in a series of film roles; although he auditioned but was not cast for the role of Danny Walker in Pearl Harbor (2001) (the role went to Josh Hartnett), he starred in several comedy films, including Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), Just Married (2003), and Guess Who (2005). He appeared in the 2003 family film, Cheaper By The Dozen, playing a self-obsessed actor. His 2004 film The Butterfly Effect was a dramatic role for Kutcher, playing a conflicted young man who time travels; the film received mixed to negative reviews, but was a box office success.
In 2003, Kutcher produced and starred in his own series, MTV's Punk'd, as the host. The series involved hidden camera tricks performed on celebrities. He is also an executive producer of the reality television shows Beauty and the Geek, Adventures in Hollyhood (based around the rap group Three 6 Mafia), The Real Wedding Crashers, and the game show Opportunity Knocks. Many of his production credits, including Punk'd, come through Katalyst Films, a production company he runs with partner Jason Goldberg. A 2004 interviewer described Kutcher as a "hunky young actor [who] is heading in all different directions at once", including "the hot L.A. restaurant Dolce":

"If anything, I'm a trier," says Kutcher between puffs of filtered Lucky Strikes. "I think, more than anything, it comes from the fact that my father always had several irons in the fire. Also, I don't want to fail. If something doesn't work out—if That '70s Show got canceled or if I wasn't going to have a film career—I always wanted to have backup contingency plans. So I just started doing other things; and on a half-hour sitcom, you're really only working for 30 hours a week. It allows a lot of time for sitting around, which I always kind of filled with work."

Because of scheduling conflicts with the filming of The Guardian, Kutcher was forced not to renew his contract for the eighth and final season of That '70s Show, although he did appear in the first four episodes of it (credited as a special guest star) and returned for the series finale. Kutcher produced and starred in the 2010 action comedy, Killers, in which he played a hitman. In May 2011, Kutcher was announced as Charlie Sheen's replacement on the series Two and a Half Men. Kutcher's contract was for one year and was believed to be worth nearly $20 million. His debut as the character Walden Schmidt, entitled "Nice to Meet You, Walden Schmidt", was seen by 28.7 million people on September 19, 2011. The Nielsen ratings company reported that figure was more than any episode in the show's first eight seasons, when Sheen starred in it. As of August 2013, Kutcher earns $750,000 an episode.

Investments

Kutcher has also successfully invested in several technology startups. Some of his investments include Skype, Foursquare, Airbnb, Path and Fab.com. He is a co-founder of the venture capital fund A-Grade Investments. On October 29, 2013, Lenovo announced that it has hired Kutcher as product engineer.

Other work

Kutcher was part of the management team for Ooma, a tech start-up launched in September 2007. Ooma is in the Voice over Internet Protocol business and Kutcher's role was as Creative Director. He spearheaded a marketing campaign and produced viral videos to promote this service. Kutcher also created an interactive arm of Katalyst called Katalyst Media, with his partner from Katalyst Films, Jason Goldberg. Their first site was the animated cartoon Blah Girls.

Ooma revamped its sales and marketing strategy with a new management team in the summer of 2008, replacing Kutcher as their creative director. Rich Buchanan, from Sling Media, became Ooma's Chief Marketing Officer.
In 2009, Kutcher established an international human rights organization with his then wife, Demi Moore. DNA Foundation, later known as Thorn, works to address the sexual exploitation of children and the proliferation of child pornography on a global scale.
He also appears in advertisements for Nikon cameras.
On March 23, 2011, Kutcher launched his own Twitter client with UberMedia, called A.plus. While the app was initially available exclusively for desktop computers with Adobe Air installed, it eventually became available on mobile platforms, for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry. In order to download on one of the 3 mobile platforms, users must first have the UberSocial client installed on their device, and then proceed to the device's browser to download A.plus.
In July 2011, Brazilian fashion label Colcci hired Kutcher and Alessandra Ambrosio to feature in a denim advertisement.

Personal life

Relationships

Kutcher and Moore, September 2008

In 2003, Kutcher began dating actress Demi Moore. Moore and Kutcher married on September 24, 2005, in a private ceremony conducted by a Rabbi of the Kabbalah Center. The wedding was attended by about 150 close friends and family of the couple, including Bruce Willis, Moore's ex-husband. Kutcher and Moore met with co-director of the Kabbalah Center Rabbi Yehuda Berg in Israel in October 2010. On November 17, 2011, Moore released a statement announcing her intention to end her marriage to Kutcher. After over a year of separation, Kutcher filed for divorce from Moore on December 21, 2012, in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. Moore filed her response papers in March 2013, requesting spousal support and payment of legal fees from Kutcher. On November 27, 2013, the divorce was finalized.
Kutcher began dating his former That '70s Show co-star, Mila Kunis, in April 2012.

Interests and beliefs

Kutcher is a self-described fiscal conservative and social liberal. He has been a student of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah), for several years. His No Strings Attached co-star, Natalie Portman, stated in 2011 that Kutcher "has taught me more about Judaism than I think I have ever learned from anyone else". In trips to Israel, Kutcher visited Kabbalah centers in Tel Aviv and in Tsfat. In 2013, Kutcher remarked that "Israel is near and dear to my heart..... coming to Israel is sort of coming back to the source of creation – trying to get closer to that. And as a creative person, going to the source of creation is really inspiring. And this place has been really inspiring for me - not only on a spiritual level, but also on an artistic and creative level." Kutcher has invested in an Italian restaurant, Dolce (other owners include Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama) and a Japanese-themed restaurant named Geisha House located in Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York City. On September 17, 2008, Kutcher was named the assistant coach for the freshman football team at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. However, he was unable to return in 2009 because he was filming Spread. In February 2011, Kutcher sold his Hollywood Hills home, which he originally bought in 2004. In April 2012, Kutcher became the 500th paying customer to sign up to ride Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo.

Twitter presence

On April 16, 2009, Kutcher became the first user of Twitter to have more than 1,000,000 followers, beating CNN in the "Million followers contest". Kutcher announced via Twitter that he would be donating $100,000 to a charity to fight malaria. However, there have been several reports that Twitter manipulated the contest's results by preventing users from "unfollowing" Kutcher or CNN. In November 2011, Kutcher received much criticism for his Tweet in response to the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal calling the firing of Penn State Nittany Lions football coach Joe Paterno in "poor taste". Kutcher subsequently turned over management of his Twitter account to his team at the Katalyst Media company.

Controversy
In April 2011, Kutcher and wife Demi Moore began a public service announcement campaign claiming that "Real Men" do not engage the services of child prostitutes who are the victims of human trafficking. Kutcher's claims that 100,000 to 300,000 American children were sold into sexual slavery were criticized by newspaper the Village Voice, which gave evidence refuting the claims. Kutcher may have understood a study referring to minors "at risk" for sexual exploitation as referring to children actually being prostituted. Experts estimate the true numbers to be in the hundreds, not the hundreds of thousands. Kutcher reacted to the criticism by accusing the Village Voice of promoting child prostitution and using Twitter to request that Village Voice advertisers including American Airlines, Disney, the City of Seattle, and Domino's Pizza withdraw their advertising from publications owned by the Voice's parent company.

Angie is an American television sitcom that was originally broadcast by the ABC network from February of 1979 to October of 1980.

Premise

Philadelphia coffee shop waitress Angie Falco (Donna Pescow) starts a romance with customer Bradley Benson (Robert Hays). She assumes he is an impoverished student, but he proves to be a pediatrician from a wealthy family, presumably residents in the Main Line region of the city's suburbs. (In response to Angie asking him just how wealthy, he replied, "You've heard of 'filthy rich?' We're disgusting.")

The other Falco family members are Angie's divorced mother Theresa (Doris Roberts) and her younger sister Marie (Debralee Scott). Brad's relatives consist of his stuffy father Randall (John Randolph), his divorced sister, the overbearing Joyce (Sharon Spelman), and Joyce's daughter Hilary (Tammy Lauren). Angie forms a close bond with Hilary.

Angie and Bradley later marry, merging their two very different families: the blue-blooded Bensons and the urban Italian-American Falcos. The characters of Hilary Benson and Didi Malloy were not continued after the first season. Angie and Theresa later open a beauty parlor together, where they had to contend with a pleasure seeking hairstylist, Gianni (Tim Thomerson).

Characters

Angelina "Angie" Falco, later Angie Benson, is the title character. At first a waitress at the Liberty Coffee Shop in Philadelphia, she meets her prince charming, Brad Benson, M.D., who worked at the medical center across the street. Angie then eloped with him, because of the families arguing about the wedding details, but conceded to a small wedding. Brad eventually bought Angie the coffee shop to keep her busy, but she would later sell it to help her mother buy a beauty salon.

Bradley Benson, M.D., is Angie's wealthy boyfriend and, later, her husband. A pediatrician at the medical center across from where Angie worked, the two fell in love immediately. They eloped, but agreed to a small family wedding. At first, he and Angie lived in his large home which he inherited from his father, but it intimidated Angie, so they moved to a smaller duplex home, where they had their living space upstairs and Brad saw his young patients downstairs.

Theresa Falco is Angie's and Marie's mother. The owner of a news stand, which she ran for years after her husband deserted the family. She, inexplicably, still put a place at the table for him. She loved Brad, and wanted to make sure that he loved Angie. It astonished, and indeed horrified, her that Angie had eloped with Brad, but she convinced her daughter to have a small Catholic wedding. In the second season, she sold the news stand, and, with Angie's help, bought a beauty salon called Rose's House of Beauty.

Marie Falco is Theresa's younger daughter, and Angie's younger sister. She works nights at a day care center, and doesn't like it.

Diedre "DiDi" Malloy is Angie's loudmouthed friend and co-worker at the Liberty Coffee Shop. She was not seen in the second season.

Joyce Benson is Brad's snobby thrice-married older sister. She was seeing a psychiatrist about her third divorce, made all the more difficult because her psychiatrist hated her. The mother of Hillary, she did not hate Angie, but she did not like her either, because she felt Brad could have married someone of their own station, and she felt Angie was not worthy enough to marry her brother.

Hillary Benson is Joyce's daughter, who was not seen in the second season. She was happy about her uncle's marriage and she loved her new aunt.

Randall Benson is Brad's and Joyce's father and Hillary's grandfather. He was, at first, bemused by Angie, but he realized that she loved Brad and he her, and so grew to like her.

Phipps is the Benson family butler. He liked Angie.

Gianni is the hairdresser at Rose's House of Beauty, the beauty salon that Angie and Theresa bought. He was always chasing after his female clients to the annoyance of Angie and Theresa.

Mary Mary; Mary Grace; and Mary Katherine are three former school mates of Angie's. They were also her close friends.

Production

Although Thomas L. Miller, Robert L. Boyett, and Edward K. Milkis were the show's supervising producers for the second season, the show was produced by Miller-Milkis Productions at Paramount Television. Angie was also one of the few Miller-Milkis productions that did not take place in Miller's hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Theme song

The show's theme song, "Different Worlds," was written by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox and performed by Maureen McGovern. "Different Worlds" peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, McGovern's only #1 on that chart.

Main cast

Cancellation

The show was a ratings hit during its first half-season on air. It ranked fifth for the 1978-79 season with a 26.7 average household share, thanks in big part to Thursday night lead-in Mork & Mindy, which ranked No. 3. All of the top-five shows in 1978-79 were ABC comedies, with the others Laverne & Shirley (No. 1), Three's Company (No. 2) and Happy Days (tying Mork & Mindy at No. 3).

However, ratings for Angie dropped drastically after a move to Tuesday for the start of the 1979-80 season, even though the show was placed between Happy Days and Three's Company. (ABC moved Laverne & Shirley in an effort to bolster ratings on other nights.) Viewers lost interest in the interplay between the two lead characters after they were married in the season premiere, and many critics noted that much of the previously feisty chemistry that Pescow and Hays demonstrated on screen was apparently compromised once their characters were wed.

The show was cancelled in its second season. Thirty-six episodes in total were produced.

Ann Gillian

Ann Jillian

Born : Ann Jura Nauseda

January 29, 1950 (age 63)

Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.

Occupation: Actress

Years active: 1960–2000

Spouse(s) : Andy Murcia (m. 1977)

Children: 1

Ann Jillian (born January 29, 1950) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Cassie Cranston on the 1980s sitcom It's a Living.

Ann Jillian was bornAnn Jura Nausedain Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1950, although some sources mistakenly cite 1951. She was born to Lithuanian immigrant parents and speaks Lithuanian fluently. Jillian was raised as a devout Roman Catholic.

She has been acting since 1960 when she played Little Bo Peep in the Disney film Babes In Toyland. Jillian appeared as Dainty June in theRosalind Russell-Natalie Wood1962 movie version of Gypsy. She had several television appearances in the 1960s and 1970s, notably becoming a regular on the 1960s sitcom Hazel (1965-66 season) and appearing in the 1963 Twilight Zone episode "Mute" (credited as "Ann Jilliann") as the mute telepathic Ilse Nielson. In 1983, Jillian was honored by theYoung Artist Foundationwith itsFormer Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award recognizing her achievements within the entertainment industry as achild actress.

Jillian moved on to voice roles, for Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and Sealab 2020 in the early 1970s, but — told she was too tall to play youthful roles of the day and too young to play a leading lady — there was no more work for her in Hollywood. She took a department store job and studied psychology, but heeded the advice of casting director Hoyt Bowers and Walt Disney who had told her, "whatever you do, keep working at your craft".

Jillian married Andy Murcia, a Chicago police sergeant, on 27 March 1978, and shortly thereafter Murcia retired to manage his wife's career.

Murcia later partnered with Joyce Selznick in management of Ann Jillian until Joyce died of breast cancer shortly after.

In the late 1970s she toured in musical comedies including Sammy Cahn's Words and Music. After appearing with Mickey Rooney in the play "Goodnight Ladies" in Chicago, the producers cast Ann Jillian to appear in the original company of Sugar Babies on Broadway with Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller in 1979.

She also starred in "I Love My Wife" at the Drury Lane Theatre in Chicago.

1980s fame

Jillian appeared in more than 25 films, mostly for TV. Though she had nearly two decades' worth of film and television credits already, she first came to national prominence in the 1980s series It's a Living, a sitcom that elevated Jillian to sex symbol status in 1980. She was last to be signed onto this series and received last place billing. The show aired for two seasons on ABC before being cancelled due to low ratings and was sold into syndication for the burgeoning cable TV market.

Toward the end of her time on the series for the ABC run, she portrayed Mae West in a 1982 made-for-TV film. The supporting cast included James Brolin, Piper Laurie and Roddy McDowall. Jillian was nominated for a lead actress Emmy and Golden Globe for her performance.

In 1983 she appeared in the John Hughes movie Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton and Teri Garr. The same year she appeared in the mini-series Malibu, starring Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saintand James Coburn. That fall she starred in her own sit-com, Jennifer Slept Here, in which she played a ghost in a variation on The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. By this timeIt's a Livinghad become a surprise success in syndication.

In Philadelphia, 1984 Jennifer Slept Here ended, enabling her to take a role in the miniseries Ellis Island, co-starring opposite Richard Burton, Faye Dunaway, Ben Vereenand Liam Neeson. Dunaway and Vereen were nominated for Golden Globes and Jillian and Burton were nominated for Emmys.

Bob Hope selected her to appear in six of his TV specials, including two entertaining U.S. troops stationed in Beirut (1984) and Saudi Arabia (1991). 

She displayed her athletic abilities on threeBattle of the Network Stars specials and a Circus of the Stars special and appeared in the charity extravaganza Night of 100 Stars. She guest starred in TV specials for Don Rickles(1986) and David Copperfield (1987) and was on the dais atThe Dean Martin Celebrity Roast for Mr. T (1984).

In 1985 she played The Red Queen to Carol Channing's White Queenin an all-star television musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The same year the producers of It's a Living made the relatively unheard-of decision to resume production of the series, by then a couple years off the air, for the USA cable network, and Jillian was contractually obligated to return to the series.

Personal life

Family and later work

The following year she starred in the series Ann Jillian, which aired 13 episodes on NBC in the 1989-1990 season.

Jillian had a son, Andrew Joseph, in 1992. She has continued to act, with ten TV movie roles throughout the 1990s, though her TV and film credits have been sporadic since the late 1990s, as she decided to devote herself to raising her son and to promoting breast cancer issues.

Today, she mostly works as a motivational speaker and also performs as a singer in corporate and symphony "pops" circles. She is an occasional guest columnist for the website 

TheColumnists.com. She resides with her family in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Battle with cancer

Prior to resuming production on It's a Livingin 1985, Jillian (then 35) made headlines when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she became a vocal advocate for cancer research and prevention. Leaving It's a Living after the 1985-1986 season, she focused on beating her cancer, with treatment including a double mastectomy. Her battle with the disease was chronicled in the top-rated 1988 made-for-TV film,The Ann Jillian Story, in which Jillian portrayed herself. Jillian received her third Emmy Award nomination, for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special, and won a 1989 Golden Globefor Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV.
