Luis Guzmán

Guzmán starred in the films "Out of Sight," "The Limey," "Traffic," "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," and "Punch-Drunk Love." He’s also been successful on TV, starring in the HBO series "How to Make It in America" and the hit Netflix series "Narcos." He also starred in the medical drama "Code Black," where he portrayed nurse Jesse "Mama" Salander.

Anne Francine
Anne Francine is a cabaret singer and actress. She played the role of Fran in "Crocodile Dundee." In addition, she played the Evil Queen in the live TV version of "Snow White!" Even still, most knew her due to her villainous role as Flora in "Harper Valley PTA." In 1954, she made her Broadway debut with Shirley Booth in "By the Beautiful Sea." She stepped in for the legendary Bea Arthur as Vera Charles in the 1966 Broadway production of "Mame," starring the late Angela Lansbury.
Incredibly enough, she and Lansbury reprised their roles in the 1983 Broadway revival. In 1987, she made her last appearance on Broadway as Mrs. Harcourt in the revival of "Anything Goes," starring Patti LuPone. Unfortunately, Fran was her last role, as she passed away in 1999.
