In 1965 he made history as the youngest anchor ever on the ABC Evening News. His relative youth and inexperience weren’t up to the match with Walter Cronkite on CBS and in 1968 his tenure as co-anchor ended. He stayed on with ABC and became the Middle East bureau chief until he moved up to Chief Foreign Correspondent in 1975. These years abroad lead to expanded credibility of Peter as a newscaster. In 1978 he became the London Anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, and in 1983 he moved back to the States where he still reigns today as the Anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight. He has also gained the title of Senior Editor of the nightly newscast.

Peter lead the World News Tonight to an eight-year reign as the highest rated news show from 1988 to 1997.

Peter has been married 4 times, his reputation as a charmer dates back to the '60s when the charismatic Jennings was already a TV celebrity. Peter even dated Barbra Streisand in the mid 1990s.

Todd played baseball throughout his childhood and beyond. While playing in Calgary a scout for the Seattle Mariners recruited him to their semi-pro tournament team in Kamloops, British Columbia. While attending Washington State University on a baseball scholarship he broke his ankle sliding into home and ended his hopes of becoming a professional baseball player. He had continued to draw throughout college but hadn't thought of it as a serious vocation until then.

Todd received over 700 rejections before he finally got a break penciling the short-lived comic Scorpio Rose for Marvel Comics in 1984. Then an opportunity penciling full-time for Infinity Inc. came. In 1986 he and his new wife moved back to Canada in a suburb of Vancouver, B. C. where Todd took many penciling jobs for Marvel and DC Comics. In 1989 Todd co-created Venom, which has since become Marvel's most-popular villain. Todd had worked on Amazing Spider Man but felt a great urge to write. Marvel created a new title for Todd, Spider Man. Spider Man was released in September 1990 and became the best-selling comic ever at 2.5 million copies. After about a year of writing Spider Man he took 6 months off and enjoyed some time with his new daughter.

In early 1992 Todd and some other great comic artists created Image Comics, which gave the artists more control, a whole new way in the business. Empowered by this new company Todd felt it was time to unleash his creation SPAWN. It's first issue in May of 1992 became the best-selling independent comic ever at 1.7 million.

The popularity of Spawn hasn't stopped yet. In 1997 HBO created the 6-episode Spawn mini-series with Todd as Executive Producer of course to satisfy his craving for creative control. August 1, 1997 was the release date of the movie SPAWN.

Pierre got himself into politics originally to deal with labour issues in the 1950s. In 1968, with only three years under his belt as a federal Liberal he made a bid for (and won) the party leadership. In the election that shortly followed he and his party won 59 percent of the seats in the House of Commons. While in Federal politics Pierre spearheaded some historic milestones that won't be forgotten by many Canadians too soon.

In the fall of 1972 (with the October crisis only a short 2 years behind him) he and his Liberals won the federal election with only a minority government. In the summer of 1994 another election was called, and this time Pierre and the Liberals won with a majority government. It was during this term as Prime Minister that he made the government officially bilingual.

He loses the next election in the Spring of 1979 to Joe Clark and the Conservatives. Later that year Pierre announces his resignation as party leader. But before he has a chance to leave Joe Clark's government loses a confidence vote and another election is called. Trudeau stays on.

Trudeau wins the 1980 election. Shortly after this victory Trudeau names the first woman to the position of Speaker of the House -- Jeanne Sauvé. In 1982 his government then names the first woman to the bench of the Supreme Court of Canada -- Bertha Wilson. Later, in December of 1993, he names Jeanne Sauvé as the first female Governor General.

Through Trudeau's efforts, the Queen of England signs off on a new independant constitution for Canada in 1982.

Trudeau ends his career as Prime Minister of Canada in 1984. Pierre Elliot Trudeau held the position of Prime Minister of Canada longer than anyone since William Lion MacKenzie King in 1948. Trudeau's style and attitude as Prime Minister was all his own. Never before or since has a Prime Minister of Canada has his own 'mania' (Trudeaumania).

Throughout his time on the national scene the press kept tabs on his love-life. To the surprise of many, 51 year-old Pierre Elliot Trudeau married 21 year-old Margaret Sinclair in 1971. In 1977, after the birth of three sons, they announce their separation.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau died on September 28, 2000 at his home in Montreal at age 80 survived by his two sons Alexandre (nicknamed Sacha) & Justin and his former wife, Margaret.

Cameron was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario on August 16, 1954 and grew up in Niagara Falls. In 1971 he moved to California where he studied physics while working as a machinist, and later, a truck driver. In 1978 he shifted his focus to movies and raised money from a consortium of dentists to produce a short film in 35mm format. He wore many hats on this set; he was producer, director, co-writer, editor, miniature builder, cinematographer and special effects supervisor.

He wrote Terminator in 1982. While waiting for the money to come through from Terminator (which took two years to make) James wrote Aliens (the sequel to the 1979 Alien), and Rambo 2. James ended up also directing Aliens which went on to earn 7 Oscar nominations.

Aliens was followed by the film The Abyss. He wrote and directed this underwater epic which grossed over $100 million worldwide. This was followed by his work as co-writer on the film Point Break. He followed all this up with the phenomenally successful Terminator 2 in 1991 in which he again wrote and directed. For the film True Lies (which I thought was great!) he again took on many roles as he wrote, directed, and produced it. True Lies also happened to be the first film to cost more than $100 million.

Some of his film credits include The Fly as director, writer and actor, Dead Ringers as director, producer and writer, M. Butterfly as director, Naked Lunch as writer and director, and Crash as director, producer and writer. Of course you can always check out the Internet Movie Database for his complete credits.
