Birth Name
Chloë Stevens Sevigny
Height
5′ 8″ (1.73 m)
Mini Biography
Known in the mid to late nineties for her status as a fashion impresario and “it girl,” with over a dozen art house films to her credit, Chloe Sevigny also stands out as one of the most prominent queens of contemporary independent cinema. Originally hailing from Darien, Connecticut, Sevigny attributes weekend trips into nearby New York City in her teens as an important early saving grace from her super rich and stuffy hometown. It was on one such trip at the age of eighteen, that Sevigny was spotted on the street by a fashion editor for Sassy magazine. Impressed by her flair for street fashion, the editors of the progressive teen mag asked Sevigny to intern in their offices which led to a few modeling jobs with both Sassy and x-girl, the urban clothing line created by Sonic Youth front woman Kim Gordon. At this time Sevigny also spent a lot of her time watching the skateboarders who convened in New York’s Tompkins square park. It was here that she met young aspiring director Harmony Korine, and a friendship ensued, resulting in her being cast as the lead in Korine and Larry Clark’s collaboration Kids (1995). At around the same time Sevigny snagged the cover of Interview magazine, and even inspired writer Jay McInerney to write a piece about her for The New Yorker in which he hailed her the new “it girl.” The late nineties saw Sevigny continuing her acting career with a string of independent films, among them Trees Lounge (1996), Palmetto (1998), and Whit Stillman’s homage to early 80s yuppiedom The Last Days of Disco (1998). In 1997 Sevigny and Korine teamed up again to make Gummo (1997), in which Sevigny both starred and acted as chief costume designer. It was in 2000 however that Sevigny’s career made a turn towards more mainstream recognition when her portrayal of Lana Tisdel in Boys Don’t Cry (1999) garnered her an Oscar nod at the age of twenty-five. Known for signing on to projects based on her interest in a good script rather than a hefty price tag, one of Sevigny’s most recent roles, making the climb from indie princess to A list actress, should see her surprising both audiences and Hollywood alike with roles in interesting and thoughtful projects.

Anna Mae Bullock
Nickname
Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Height
5′ 4″ (1.63 m)
Mini Biography
After almost fifty years in the music business, Tina Turner has become one of the most commercially-successful international female rock stars to date. Her sultry, powerful voice, her incredible legs, her time-tested beauty and her unforgettable story all contribute to her legendary status.
Born to a mixed race (Native and African American) share-cropping family in the segregated South, Anna Mae Bullock and her elder sister were abandoned by their sparring parents early on. After her grandmother’s death, she eventually moved to St. Louis to reunite with her mother. This opened up a whole new world of R&B nightclubs to the precocious 16-year-old. Called up to sing on-stage with Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm in 1956, she displayed a natural talent for performing which the band leader was keen to develop. Soon, Anna Mae’s aspirations of a nursing career were forgotten and she began to hang around with the group. When the singer booked to record “A Fool In Love” failed to turn up for the session, Ike drafted in Anna Mae to provide the vocal with the intention of removing it later. However, once he heard her spine-tingling performance of the song, he soon changed his plans. He changed her name to Tina Turner and when the record became a hit, Tina became a permanent fixture in Ike’s band and his quest for international stardom. One thing led to another: they were married in Mexico between the births of Tina’s two sons - the first a result of an earlier relationship with a musician, the second with Ike.
Before too long the Ike and Tina Turner Revue was tearing up large and small R&B and soul venues throughout the early and mid-1960s. The hits were relatively few, but the unsurpassed energy and excitement generated by the live stage show (read: Tina) made the Revue a solid touring act, along with the likes of James Brown and Ray Charles. Their greatest attempt to “cross over” came in 1966 with the historic recording of the Phil Spector production, “River Deep, Mountain High”. While it was a commercial flop in the US, it was a monster hit in Europe - and the start of Tina’s European superstar status, which never faded during her long stint of relative obscurity in America in the late 1970s. The Revue entered that decade as a top touring and recording act, with Tina becoming more and more recognised as the star power behind the group’s international success. Ike, while having been justly described as an excellent musician, a shrewd businessman and the initial “brains” behind the Revue, was also described (by Tina and others) as a violent, drug-addicted wife-beater who was not above frequently knocking Tina (and other women) around both publicly and privately. Despite hits such as “Proud Mary” and Tina’s self-penned “Nutbush City Limits”, further mainstream success eluded the group and Ike blamed Tina. After years of misery and a failed suicide bid, Tina finally had enough in July of 1976, when she fled the marriage (and the Revue) with the now-famous 36 cents and a Mobil gasoline credit card.
Tina, now nearing 40, endured a long and, at times, humiliating trek back to superstardom through working many substandard gigs and performing a repertoire of current Top 40 hits and old Ike & Tina tunes in hotel ballrooms and supper clubs. She now admits she was having the time of her life at this point, simply putting together her own show and performing. She refused to wrangle for a settlement from the divorce, despite being in huge debt to all the tour promoters she had let down by fleeing the Revue. After an appearance on Olivia Newton-John: Hollywood Nights (1980) (TV), Tina - in a wise business move - persuaded Newton-John’s management team to take her on. With Roger Davies at her side, Tina’s profile began to rise, and performances alongside the likes of Rod Stewart and The Rolling Stones introduced her to the rock market she so wanted to pursue.
The European release of her cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” in 1983 was a major turning point in Tina’s career. The record hit #6 in the UK chart and Capitol Records were soon demanding a full album. ‘Private Dancer’ was hurriedly produced in England in two weeks flat. The rest is rock and roll history. The next single - “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” - became Tina’s first #1 single the following year and the album hung around the Top 10 for months, spawning two further hits. At the 1985 Grammy Awards, her astonishing comeback was recognised with nominations in the rock, R&B and pop categories and rewarded with four trophies.
Since that time, the successes have just kept coming: a starring role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985); duets with Bryan Adams, David Bowie, Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger amongst others; several sell-out world tours; a string of hit albums and awards; a best-selling autobiography, ‘I, Tina’; and the blockbuster biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It (1993) chronicling her life.
After her ‘Twenty Four Seven Millenium Tour’ in 2000, Tina announced she would retire from the concert stage, but continue to record and play live on a smaller scale. Four years later, at the age of 65, she released a career retrospective entitled ‘All The Best’ featuring new recordings, and reached #2 in the US album chart, her highest ever placing for an album there. She ended 2005 as one of five recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, the highest form of recognition of excellence in the arts in America.
Despite changing the direction of her working life, she will always be remembered as a dynamic live performer and recording artist, able to thrill audiences like no other woman in music history. Tina Turner is the undisputed Queen of Rock and Roll.

Mini Biography
Marisa Tomei was born on December 4, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York to mother Patricia “Addie” Tomei, an English teacher and father Gary Tomei, a lawyer. Marisa also has a brother, actor Adam Tomei. As a child, Marisa’s mother frequently corrected her speech as to eliminate her heavy Brooklyn accent. As a teen, Marisa attended Edward R. Murrow High School and graduated in the class of 1982. She was one year into her college education at Boston University when she dropped out for a co-starring role on the CBS daytime drama “As the World Turns” (1956). Her role on that show paved the way for her entrance into film: in 1984, she made her film debut with a bit part in The Flamingo Kid (1984). Three years later, Marisa became known for her role as Maggie Lawton, Lisa Bonet’s college roommate, on the sitcom “A Different World” (1987).
Her real breakthrough came in 1992, when she co-starred as Joe Pesci’s hilariously foul-mouthed, scene-stealing girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny (1992), a performance that won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Later that year, she turned up briefly as a snippy Mabel Normand in director Richard Attenborough’s biopic Chaplin (1992), and was soon given her first starring role in Untamed Heart (1993). A subsequent starring role — and attempted makeover into Audrey Hepburn — in the romantic comedy Only You (1994) proved only moderately successful.
Marisa’s other 1994 role as Michael Keaton’s hugely pregnant wife in The Paper (1994) was well-received, although the film as a whole was not. Fortunately for Tomei, she was able to rebound the following year with a solid performance as a troubled single mother in Nick Cassavetes Unhook the Stars (1996) which earned her a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She turned in a similarly strong work in Welcome to Sarajevo (1997), and in 1998 did some of her best work in years as the sexually liberated, unhinged cousin of Natasha Lyonne’s Vivian Abramowitz in Tamara Jenkins Slums of Beverly Hills (1998). In recent years, Marisa has co-starred with Mel Gibson in the hugely successful romantic comedy What Women Want (2000) and during the 2002 movie award season, she proved her first Best Supporting Actress Oscar win was no fluke when she received her second nomination in the same category for the critically acclaimed dark drama, In the Bedroom (2001).

Cathie is a beautiful woman born in 1937 who lives in North Carolina, U.S.A.
She is the mother of three children and married to Bob, an orthopedic surgeon. Cathie Jung’s unfathomably dainty waist of 15 inches, is unique. The Guinness Books of World Records has inquired about it. Several times Cathie and Bob flew to Tokyo in Japan for guest appearances on Japanese TV.
In the U.S.A. and Western Europe they were also guests in TV shows.
Bon and Cathie in Victorina formal wear
Cathie and Bob like to dress up in Victorian formal wear. They are fond of the elegance of this style of wear and are fond of cultivating and popularizing the wasp-waist.
If possible, they visit every year the ball organized by the LGM. (Les Gracieuses Modernes). LGM is a community of persons who are fond of the elegant and feminine figure of ladies with tiny waists.
Cathie Jung’s corseted form has appeared on the pages of Life Magazine and the New York Times Style section. One of the photos shows Cathie in her sterling silver corset cover worn over a lavish black gown. She has donned it for the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute party for the opening of its Versace show.
The Jung’s like fishing and with their boat “The Bobcat” they make a lot of nice fishing trips.
Of course Cathie is wearing her corset, as she has for virtually every hour of the day and night since 1983. The only time that she is not wearing the corset is probably the hour it takes her to shower and dry herself thoroughly.
Cathie is devoted to corset training, or what she also calls waist training.
Cathie was married in a corset in 1959, and though she wore one on occasion during early motherhood, she did not pursue the exquisitely hour-glassed figure of yesteryear until her children were fully grown and had left home.
Her uncorseted waist today is 21 inches around. It was 26 inches when she began serious waist training, 23 hours a day every day of the week.
With a normal waist of 28 inch you start with a corset of 25 inches. When you get comfortable you go to a 23-inch corset. Then a new one two inches smaller. Cathie is now to a 15-inch corset. Cathie is 5-foot-6 and weight 135 pounds.
She owns more then 25 different corsets, some of cotton brocade and others of Chinese silk. Leather is also comfortable and wears well. Under the corset she is wearing a camisole or a chemise. Powder is also important.
The diet of Cathie is pretty normal. She feels full or satisfied very quickly but she very much enjoys eating in a restaurant.
Cathie and Bob met at Tufts University, where Bob earned an undergraduate degree and attended medical school. Cathie studied biology at Tufts.
Bob and Cathie at Tufts University
Cathie has suffered no ill effects from wearing a corset virtually 24 hours a day since 1983. In fact, it has bolstered her spinal support. Bob Jung says: “As for the ribs, you would be surprised by how much the chest is not impacted. Only the two lower ribs, but those are the so-called floating ribs, two on each side. Everything in the midriff is flexible. The bowels and the stomach are hollow.
One concern is dry skin and keeping the corset clean. The bidet is for Cathie a real blessing in the wintertime, when you don’t need to shower every day. Showering all the time dries out the skin.
Cathie as a young girl in bathing suit.
Cathie, as a young girl, spelled her nickname with an “ie” instead of a “y” because the latter letter descended to the next line and got in the way of her writing.
Cathie never has had surgery to help attain her waist. But it is not just about the waist size. It is the illusion that matters. The difference between the hips and the waist, the chest and the waist. It is all about accentuating the natural and beautiful curves of the female figure.
