Robert Donner was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey, Michigan and Texas. Robert joined the Navy after he graduated from high school and served almost 4 years. After he left the Navy he stayed on the West Coast and worked as a shipping clerk, salesman, bartender, commercial artist, gardener, and insurance investigator. Robert attended San Fernando Valley State College (now California State University, Northridge), at nights taking courses in Art History, Psychology and speech. During this time, Robert Donner lived in Studio City and became friends with actor Clint Eastwood who lived in his apartment building. Clint urged Robert to study drama, telling him he was humorous and had a good face. When Robert was not acting he was active in athletics, and was known as one of Hollywood's most enthusiastic golfers. He was a member of the former "Hollywood Hackers" and carried a seven handicap and was the leader of a group of entertainment industry professionals known as Don Porter's Thursday Golf Group as well as joining others at many of the Celebrity Golf Tournaments who raise money for various charities around the world. Robert also played in many tennis tournaments and was frequently called upon during "Celebrity Nights" in which he performed stand-up comedy and promised not to sing. His reputation in this area also led him to become known as one of Hollywood's "in demand" Corporate Speakers.- Stunningly classy and lovely brunette beauty Audrey Campbell was born on August 5, 1929 in Cincinnati, Ohio to a German mother and Scot/Irish father. Following graduation from high school Campbell started modeling and left home at age twenty to marry a drummer. She sang in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas with the Music Drama Guild and edited the newsletter "Operations English," which was devoted to English language opera. Audrey was then featured in a late 1940's live television program broadcast from Cincinnati's WKRC network called "The Girl in the Window." She was on the Board of Directors for the Playhouse in the Park theater in Cincinnati. Campbell moved to New York City in 1961, where she initially did press representation work for both Broadway productions and the New York City Opera. Audrey made her film debut as an 18 year old Roman princess Poetrix in the Joe Sarno movie "Lash of Lust." Campbell achieved her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with her formidable portrayal of the wicked and sadistic villainess Madame Olga in the brutal and shocking roughie exploitation features "White Slaves of Chinatown," "Olga's Girls," and "Olga's House of Shame." Audrey was excellent as frustrated housewife Geraldine Lewis in Sarno's terrific soft-core gem "Sin in the Suburbs" and memorably sexy as a fetching cave woman in the lowbrow comedy "50,000 B.C. (Before Clothing)." Her last picture was the soft-core soap opera "A Woman in Love." Moreover, Campbell had a semi-recurring part on the popular Gothic horror soap opera "Dark Shadows." In addition, Audrey acted in TV commercials, worked as a model (she appears along with Peter Sellers in a pictorial for a 1964 issue of "Playboy" magazine), and had regular roles on the daytime soap operas "As the World Turns," "Ryan's Hope," and "The Guiding Light." She also did various trade shows. Movie critic Andrew Sarris mentioned Campbell as one of his top three fantasy women in an article for "American Film" magazine. Audrey Campbell died at age 76 from kidney and respiratory ailments on June 8, 2006 in New York City.
