Natalie Wood
Cast · Known for Sex and the Single Girl, Intimate Portrait
Natalie Wood (née Zacharenko; July 20, 1938 – November 29, 1981) was an American actress who began her career in film as a child and successfully transitioned to young adult roles. Wood started acting at age four and was given a co-starring role at age 8 in Miracle on 34th Street (1947). As a teenager, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), followed by a role in John Ford's The Searchers (1956). Wood starred in the musical films West Side Story (1961) and Gypsy (1962) and received nominations for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performances in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love with the Proper Stranger (1963). Her career continued with films such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964), Inside Daisy Clover (1965), and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969). During the 1970s, Wood began a hiatus from film and had two daughters: one with her second husband Richard Gregson, and one with Robert Wagner, her first husband whom she married again after divorcing Gregson. She acted in only two feature films throughout the decade, but she appeared slightly more often in television productions, including a remake of From Here to Eternity (1979) for which she won a Golden Globe Award. Wood's films represented a "coming of age" for her and for Hollywood films in general. Critics have suggested that her cinematic career represents a portrait of modern American womanhood in transition, as she was one of the few to take both child roles and those of middle-aged characters. Wood died off the coast of Santa Catalina Island on November 29, 1981, at age 43, during a holiday break from the production of her would-be comeback film Brainstorm (1983) with Christopher Walken. The events surrounding her death have been the subject of conflicting witness statements, prompting the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, under the instruction of the coroner's office, to list her cause of death as "drowning and other undetermined factors" in 2012.

Jason Leavy
Cast · Producer · Known for Terrifier, Terrifier 2
The path that Jason Leavy has taken to get to this point has been very similar to that of his older brother Michael Leavy. Jason has been at his brother's side from the beginning and will be to the end. Nothing to this point would have been possible without Jason's willingness to help and do whatever is asked of him in order to better the project. Jason plays a large role in rounding out the Fuzz on the Lens team, because whereas Steven Della Salla and Mike Leavy approach filmmaking more from the production standpoint, Jason approaches filmmaking more from an acting standpoint. He brings a different character driven perspective that is necessary to push our creativity and writing to a new level. Like his brother, Jason excels both behind the camera as well as in front of it. He was Michael's successor at Monsignor Farrell's television studio, WFBN-TV. He ran the studio and anchored the show each morning. Once he graduated, Jason went on to Kean University where he is studied to get his Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a concentration in TV & Film.
