Philadelphia TV news anchor Beverly Williams

Beverly Williams is a legend in Philadelphia broadcast journalism.

She anchored the news from KYW-TV, then an NBC affiliate, from 1975 to 1981, and again from 1989 to 2003. (KYW-TV became a CBS affiliate in 1995.) She was the first black woman to anchor a newscast in the Philadelphia market.

She also anchored the news at WTNH-TV in New Haven, Connecticut, and hosted the KYW-TV talk show "Eye On Philadelphia" from 2003 to 2006.

Beverly Williams left KYW-TV in September 2006, but she said she hoped to remain active in television news.

Actress Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara is a Colombian actress who started out as a model and was mostly known for her looks. As a result of being cast in ABC-TV's "Modern Family," that has definitely changed.

She plays Gloria Delgado-Prichett, the Colombian trophy wife of Jay Prichett (played by Ed O'Neill). Jay has to play dad to her son even as his gay son and straight daughter have started families of their own. The comedy of the show is based on the interconnected stories of these three very different households.

("Modern Family" also stars Julie Bowen, featured here in an earlier entry, as Jay's daughter Claire.)

Actress Marisa Tomei

Marisa Tomei has been a major star in the movies for the past several years.

The Brooklyn-born actress made a big splash in the 1992 comedy My Cousin Vinny, about novice Brooklyn lawyer Vincent "Vinny" Gambini (played by Joe Pesci) defending his cousin on murder charges in the South. Tomei played Vinny's girlfriend.

Other films Marisa Tomei has appeared in include Slums of Beverly Hills and Anger Management. More recenly she played an exotic dancer in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler.
