Huey Lewis

Huey Lewis (born Hugh Anthony Cregg III, July 5, 1950) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor, best known as the lead vocalist and harmonica player of the rock band Huey Lewis and the News. The band achieved massive success in the 1980s with hits such as “The Power of Love,” “Hip to Be Square,” and “Stuck with You,” and their album Sports (1983) remains one of the best-selling pop releases of all time. Born in New York City and raised in Marin County, California, Lewis attended Strawberry Point Elementary School (where he skipped second grade) and Edna Maguire Junior High School. His mother, Magda Cregg, was a Polish refugee, and his maternal grandfather invented the red wax sealant used on certain cheeses. After his parents divorced when he was 13, he was sent to the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, graduating in 1967 with a perfect 800 on the math SAT. He enrolled at Cornell University in the engineering program but dropped out in his junior year in December 1969 to pursue music. As a teenager, Lewis hitchhiked across the country, stowed away on a plane to Europe, and spent time busking in Madrid, Spain, where he became an accomplished blues harmonica player. Upon returning to the U.S., he joined the Bay Area band Clover in 1971, adopting the stage name Huey Lewis (inspired by poet Lew Welch, his mother’s longtime partner). Clover recorded two albums in the UK with producer Mutt Lange but struggled as punk rock overshadowed their pub-rock sound. While Lewis was on vacation, the rest of the band backed Elvis Costello on his debut album My Aim Is True. Clover disbanded in 1979. In 1979, Lewis formed Huey Lewis and the American Express, which soon became Huey Lewis and the News. After a unsuccessful self-titled debut in 1980, the band broke through with Picture This (1982) and exploded with Sports (1983), which sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. and produced multiple Top 10 hits. Their follow-up Fore! (1986) also reached No. 1. Lewis wrote or co-wrote many of the band’s songs and contributed harmonica to notable recordings, including Thin Lizzy’s Live and Dangerous (1978). The band’s music featured prominently in popular culture, most notably with “The Power of Love” in Back to the Future (1985), in which Lewis also had a cameo. They contributed to “We Are the World” and scored 14 Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hits during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1995, Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. over similarities between “I Want a New Drug” and the Ghostbusters theme. The case was settled out of court. Lewis has also produced for artists such as Nick Lowe and Bruce Hornsby. In 2018, Lewis was forced into semi-retirement after being diagnosed with Ménière’s disease, which caused severe hearing loss. By 2025, he reported total deafness, though a cochlear implant has partially restored his ability to hear speech. Despite this, the band continues to tour occasionally, and Lewis remains active in other projects. In 2024, the jukebox musical The Heart of Rock and Roll, based on the band’s catalog, premiered on Broadway. In February 2025, he was the inaugural inductee into the People’s Music Hall of Fame.

Tom Jenkins

Tom Jenkins started out this life by wanting to be either an FBI agent or a rock star. Learning at age 8 that being a 'G-Man' required higher math skills and bad suits, he quickly settled on a musical path, playing drums in various rock and jazz bands in his formative years. Born in Kentucky and raised in West Virginia, Tom's parents' always said, "Son, you have no where to go but up!" Secretly, they meant out, so Tom moved to Florida after college and caught the acting bug, as well as all the other bugs, mosquitoes and slimy, crawly things that the Sunshine State had to offer. After honing his acting 'chops' in Florida, and an appearance on Nickelodeon's, 'Clarissa Explains it All', Tom moved to Los Angeles. Described as, "Amusingly limber"; " So familiar, my dog and I have known him for years"; and "The thinking woman's crumpet," (his favorite!) these are just a few of the tasty morsels that describe Tom's adeptness at comedy, serio- comedy, and delicious every -man characters. (When referred to as a 'crumpet', Tom embarked on a food theme that is still somewhat useful, at least for the purposes of this bio) A veteran of over 50 commercials, with national brands such as Allstate, Activia, Ford, Rite Aid,Toyota, Kay Jewelers and Hallmark, several network television appearances, including 'Criminal Minds' and 'Days of our Lives' (4 times!) and selected film 'shorts' ( or 'cuts'; the food theme endures!) Tom is always looking to lend his common-man affability to any role.

Hurd Hatfield

William Rukard Hurd Hatfield was an American actor, best known for often playing characters of handsome, narcissistic young men, most notably Dorian Gray in the film The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Hatfield's second film, The Picture of Dorian Gray, made him a star. As Oscar Wilde's ageless anti-hero, Hatfield received widespread acclaim for his dark good looks as much as for his acting ability. However, the actor was ambivalent about the role and his performance. "The film didn't make me popular in Hollywood," he commented later. "It was too odd, too avant-garde, too ahead of its time. The decadence, the hints of bisexuality and so on, made me a leper! Nobody knew I had a sense of humor, and people wouldn't even have lunch with me." His follow-up films, The Diary of a Chambermaid, The Beginning or the End, and The Unsuspected), were successful, but Joan of Arc was a critical and financial failure.

According to the magazine Films in Review, Hatfield was ambivalent about having played Dorian Gray, feeling that it had typecast him. "You know, I was never a great beauty in Gray...and I never understood why I got the part and have spent my career regretting it", he is reported to have said. He died in his sleep of a heart attack at a friend's home, aged 81, after celebrating Christmas dinner.
