British television actress Jenny Funnell
Jenny Funnell is familiar to Anglophilic Americans, having played Sandy in the British sitcom "As Time Goes By" for ten years.
Her character was a secretary who moves in with her boss and her best friend Judith, respectively played by Judi Dench and Moira Brooker. Sandy's personality was warm and soft in contrast to Judith's savvy, sharp image.

Betty Davis of the Weather Channel
The Weather Channel's on-camera meteorologist Betty Davis, on the air Saturday and Sunday mornings, must get a lot of kidding over her name.
Originally from Preston, Georgia, she pursued meteorology in college to the surprise of family and friends, and graduated from both Mississippi State University and Spelman College.
She actually said - remember, her name is Betty Davis - that she would probably have become an actress if she hadn't become a weather expert. :-D
A lot of folks in the New York area must be familiar with her these days, as they must watch the Weather Channel on weekend mornings hoping against hope that their weekends won't be washed out.

Actress Courteney Cox
Courteney Cox first got noticed in a nonspeaking part in the video for Bruce Springsteen's single "Dancing In the Dark," in which she plays a concertgoer Springsteen picks out of the crowd to come up onstage and dance with him - which the Boss used to do all the time with female attendees to his shows.
Soon she was a semi-regular guest actress on the TV series "Family Ties." And though it took awhile, Cox - who turns 45 today - finally broke through in 1994 in a big way, playing Monica Geller in the sitcom "Friends."
Since that show ended in 2004, Cox has remained active in televsion and movies. She's married to David Arquette, a scion of one of Hollywood's most prominent families.
