Fred Willard radiated a unique charm that established him as one of the industry's most gifted comic actors, first coming to prominence as ambitious but dimwitted sidekick Jerry Hubbard to Martin Mull's smarmy talk-show host Barth Gimble in the devastating satirical series Fernwood Tonight (1977). A master of sketch comedy, he was most heralded for his quick wit and improvisational expertise. His 50 appearances in sketches on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992) were indicative of his ability to transform any character into a unique comic portrayal. Fred starred in an oft sold-out one-man show, "Fred Willard: Alone At Last!" (actually with a cast of 12) that received two Los Angeles Artistic Director Awards, for Best Comedy and Best Production. He was also an alumnus of The Second City and headed a sketch comedy workshop, The MoHo Group.- Raja Mayekar was born in 1930.

Barbara is a graduate of Packer Collegiate Institute and American University in Washington DC with a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts. She majored in Communications, Speech and Drama. In addition, she continued her studies at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Since graduation, she has pursued a career as an actress, appearing in major motion pictures, television programs and commercials, and as a model doing print work. Barbara is a member of SAG, AFTRA and GIAA. She has also interspersed her acting with managerial positions in the business world.
Recently, Barbara has authored a book dealing with her father's career in boxing and her relationship with her parents. Her father was a celebrated professional fight referee who maintained the name he fought under, Teddy Martin. The book is titled "my life with The Third Man in the Ring (the drama outside the ropes)". Her book is a finalist in the 2014 Reader's Favorite Book Contest.
She co-authored a screenplay based on her book that has attracted the attention of notable names in the motion picture industry who have shown a keen interest in developing the script into a major motion picture. In this endeavor, Barbara is working with top directors, writers and producers with regard to financing, budgeting, casting and distribution of motion pictures.
While growing up, Barbara idolized her father and attended many of the bouts that he refereed. In doing so, she developed an easy-going relationship with many of the names in the boxing world. One of the standout names is that of Rocky Graziano who would call her to introduce her to contacts in show business. To this day, she is well known in many of the veteran boxing organizations in the New York-New Jersey area.
To illustrate her affinity for boxing, one of the anecdotes she relates occurred when she was reaching twelve years old. Her father asked what she wanted for her birthday. Shunning all things feminine, she requested a speed punching bag and got it. She developed such a skill at punching that speed bag that she amazed all that watched her.
During her career as an actress, Barbara has appeared in films with such Hollywood luminaries as Jon Voight, Harrison Ford, Nicholas Cage, Bruce Willis, Beau Bridges, Jack Klugman, Telly Savales, Joe Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Orbach, Don Johnson and Samuel Jackson and has been directed by John Schlesinger, Andrew Bergman, Arthur Hiller, Mike Nichols, John McTiernan and Leonard Nimoy.- Director
