Terry McMillan
Before she worked at the library at age 16, author Terry McMillan didn't know that African Americans published books. She went on to write and publish her first short story while earning her journalism degree at UC Berkeley. She also studied film at Columbia University. McMillan's best-selling works include: Mama; Disappearing Acts, which HBO Films produced for TV; Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back, both released as feature films. Her new book is The Interruption of Everything.
Tim Roth
British actor Tim Roth has been called 'chameleon-like' because he disappears into almost any kind of role. Indeed, he's often mistaken for an American because of his skill at imitating accents. He established himself playing street thugs in British films and TV movies, but his breakthrough role came in the film Reservoir Dogs. Roth's TV work includes TNT's Heart of Darkness and the Murder in the Heartland miniseries. He has two new features in the can, Dark Water and The Beautiful Country.
