Beth Chapman was raised in Colorado. In her late 20s, she had a change of heart and decided she wanted to become a bail bond agent. She received her license becoming the youngest person to do so in Colorado history. (Her stepdaughter, Lyssa, later broke that record.)
In the mid-90s she met Duane Chapman, and they quickly became romantic partners as well as business partners. Millions of viewers have watched the two find fugitives across the country in their reality T.V series “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and, despite going into remission, Chapman passed away two years later, on June 26, 2019.
Lola Falana
Lola Falana is another prominent actress who rose to fame in the late 1960s while working abroad as an Italian actress. At the same time, she worked and toured with Sammy Davis, Jr. In 1970, she finally hit the American screens and starred in “The Liberation of L.B. Jones.” In the late 70s, she moved to Vegas where she brought her act and even became known as the “Queen of Las Vegas.” At the time, Falana was the highest-paid female performer in Las Vegas.
Her show ran twenty weeks a year and became a top tourist attraction. Since her last acting role in 1989, she hasn’t returned to the camera. This is perhaps due to her being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1987.
Jacqueline Bisset
British-born Jacqueline Bisset became famous worldwide in 1968, after playing the role of Norma MacIver, in “The Detective,” opposite Frank Sinatra. The 1970s saw great success for the actress. She has acted in 17 movies throughout the decade including, “Airport,” “The Mephisto Waltz,” and “Day for Night.”
In 2015, she acted alongside Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette in “Miss You Already.” Fun fact: she is the godmother to actress Angelina Jolie.
Victoria Principal
Victoria Principal was planning on becoming a doctor before she got into a serious accident. After the incident, she decided to pursue acting instead. She left everything and moved to Hollywood in 1970 and in 1972, she landed her first part in a movie as Marie Elena in “The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.” However, she is most recognized for her role as Pamela Barnes Ewing in the soap opera “Dallas.” She played the part of Pamela from 1978-1987.
After “Dallas,” Principal acted in several TV shows and films. However, her last appearance was on the series “Titans” in 2001. Since 2001, she has spent her time doing charity work. She is very active in animal protection charities such as the Humane Society.
Morgan Fairchild
Morgan Fairchild, originally known as Patsy Ann McClenny, gained critical acclaim after she played Jennifer Pace on the soap opera “Search for Tomorrow,” from 1973-1977. Her performance got her guest roles on “Happy Days,” “Kojak,” “and “Dallas.” However, her career really took off after she appeared in “Flamingo Road” and “Falcon Crest,” in the 80s.
She still acts today, recently starring in 2016’s “A Christmas in Vermont,” alongside Chevy Chase.
