Lynne Roberts
Attractive, blue-eyed, Texas-born "B" actress Lynn Roberts was born Theda Mae Roberts on November 22, 1922, to a stage mother whose favorite star was silent screen vamp Theda Bara. The younger of two children (her older brother John was born in 1920), she was dancing by age 4, and singing and acting at a professional school. Within a few years she was appearing in a song-and-dance act with her older brother in vaudeville. The nascent actress changed her stage name to Lynn Roberts (without the "e" in the first name) in her teens as she began to hit the studios for film work. Signed up as a teenager, she appeared in a few inconsequential bits. The athletically inclined young lady was eventually promoted to Roy Rogers' love interest in a series of sagebrush sagas. With Come on, Rangers! (1938), Shine on Harvest Moon (1938) and Rough Riders' Round-up (1939), she was now being billed as Mary Hart. She left Republic after a money dispute and began to freelance. Disliking the name Mary Hart, she changed it one last time to Lynne Roberts (with the added "e") and earned a new contract from 20th Century-Fox. Most of her roles were in westerns and mystery programmers, pictures such as The Bride Wore Crutches (1940) and Street of Memories (1940) that were generally overlooked by the critics. She soon found herself again reduced to bit roles (the fact that she angered the studio by eloping in 1941 didn't help matters). With her career going nowhere, she returned to Republic Pictures and churned out more assembly-line movies such as Port of 40 Thieves (1944) and My Buddy (1944) for the duration. Lynne turned to TV in the 1950s and appeared in a number of dramatic plays. She replaced Patricia Morison in the detective series The Cases of Eddie Drake (1952) in 1952. Two feature films were cobbled together from several of these episodes and shown in England: "Pattern for Murder" (1953) and "Murder Ad-Lib" (1953). Following her third marriage in 1953, Lynne retired from acting. Her fourth husband in 1971 would be former professional wrestler Don Sebastian, but the couple was estranged at the time of Lynne's untimely death. On December 16, 1977, she had a slip-and-fall accident in her home and suffered severe head fractures and lacerations. She went into a coma and died a few months later on April 1, 1978, from hemorrhaging.

Lynne Southerland
When Lynne Southerland came to Los Angeles, she did not think of herself as a trailblazer. She only knew she had a dream to create narratives like the ones that had entertained her throughout her childhood. Although her career began in Live-Action, working on such notables as THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN, THE NAKED GUN, and SISTER ACT 2, a fortuitous encounter would lead her into the world of animation as a producer, director, and developer of content. As the audience's appetite for more diverse narratives pricked at Hollywood's ears, Lynne joined with other pioneers-of-color to create important, new points of view on projects like BEBE'S KIDS for Paramount Pictures (featuring a predominantly black cast), and the acclaimed HBO series HAPPILY EVER AFTER: FAIRYTALES FOR EVERY CHILD, (a multicultural retelling of the Grimm fairytales). While producing direct-to-video movies for Disney, Lynne's talents as a storyteller opened a new opportunity - to co-direct MULAN 2, thereby making her the first African-American female director of an animated feature. Through that movie, and others, Lynne's love of adventure and travel was also satisfied, with collaborations at overseas studios in Japan, Australia, Israel, and Hong Kong. On the development side, Lynne has consulted for Disney's Direct-To-DVD division, as well as for Animation Lab, an Israeli based studio. Recently, she brought her unique perspective as the show-runner for animated content on Mattel's Monster High and Enchantimals brands. And, in her spare time, Lynne has written two fiction manuscripts aimed at the middle grade and young adult audiences, currently being shopped by her literary agent.

Lynne Thigpen
Multi-talented actress Lynne Thigpen was born Cherlynne Thigpen in Joliet, Illinois, on December 22, 1948. She performed in community theater and university theater productions while attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Following graduation, she taught high-school English for a short time, but her interest in acting eventually prevailed over teaching. Her desire to act professionally was further fueled by a strong set of vocal chops. Moving to New York, Lynne subsequently won a singing role as part of the ragtag disciple ensemble in the hip, flower-powered musical "Godspell" in 1971. Two years later she transferred her role to film along with several other members of the original stage cast. Godspell: A Musical Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew (1973) opened a major door for the actress as a performer of boundless energy and vocal power, as exemplified by her rousing version of "O Bless the Lord My Soul." Lynne continued on the 1970s musical stage with roles in "The Magic Show" and the blue-collar piece "Working," and in 1981 earned a Tony nomination for her powerhouse performance in "Tintypes." She eventually reasoned, however, that if she was to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, she would need to refocus her energies. She then abandoned her tuneful ways and ventured assertively into films and TV. During her 30-year career, Lynne went on to appear in nearly 40 movies and numerous television series, usually secondary in nature but alternately fiery and dignified in character. Lynne became a strong, set-jawed figure in social and urban drama as she managed to avoid the easy pitfalls of typecasting. Though most of her early film parts seemed small and insignificant, she continued to grow and gain a more assured footing while appearing in such popular features as Tootsie (1982), Sweet Liberty (1986), Hello Again (1987), and Running on Empty (1988). Every now and then she was given a chance to shine, as with her volatile school parent in Lean on Me (1989). TV was a more palpable and productive medium for her with a stand-out recurring role as a judge on L.A. Law (1986) and a long-running part on the daytime soap All My Children (1970). She also committed herself to wholesome viewing for children, portraying the unnamed Chief on the PBS children's series Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1991) and Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? (1996), earning four Emmy nominations in the process. Throughout the years, Lynne remained a vital force on the stage. She won a Los Angeles Drama Critics award for her performance in August Wilson's "Fences," two off-Broadway Obies for Athol Fugard's "Boesman and Lena" (1992) and "Jar the Floor" (2000), and a Tony for "Best Supporting Actress" for her portrayal of a half-Black, half-Jewish feminist in "An American Daughter" (1997). Other strong theater roles came with "A Month of Sundays" (1987) and as a spunky 101-year-old maiden woman in "Having Our Say." Lynne's dusky-voiced command was also utilized to narrate more than 20 socially relevant books on tape. Her last regular TV series role was as police clerk and computer expert Ella Farmer on The District (2000), a role she played until her sudden death. Lynne was found unconscious at her home in Marina del Rey, California, by a friend. She died on March 12, 2003, age 54, of a cerebral hemorrhage. Her final film Anger Management (2003), which starred Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, was released posthumously.
