G and F finalized their divorce last year after a 14 year marriage. G is probably best known for her role as J in Robert Zemeckis 1994 American comedy drama film I starring K in the titular role.

Q starred as Vicomte de Valmont in the 1988 period drama film based on an 18th century French novel. The movie also featured then young, relatively unknown actors R and S who would go on to achieve fame later. R was born in Boston and named after Dbuma Chenpo by her father who was the first Westerner to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Rs career was re launched in 2003 by T who wrote the part of U keeping her in mind.

Ewan McGregor was offered, but turned down, the part of V to work on Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Cruise were also considered for the role of V. Nicolas Cage turned down the part while Will Smith turned down the offer in order to star in Wild Wild West . He later admitted that, at the time, he was "not mature enough as an actor" and that, if given the role, he "would have messed it up". S ended up finally playing the role of V in the W franchise. Roger Ebert praised Ws premise and visuals but disliked the focus on action. The creators of W also wrote the screenplay and co-produced the 2006 thriller X set in a dystopian near-future London. Y shaved her head bald for the film X saying shed wanted to do that for a long time. Ys commitment to acting was further evident when she lost 20 pounds, sustained a broken rib and went on to win the Academy Award for her role in the film Z whose production began as a screenplay called The Understudy

One theory advanced to account for the reddish sky in the background is that X had observed an effect of the powerful volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883: the ash that was ejected from the volcano left the sky tinted red in most of Europe and Asia from the end of November 1883 to mid February 1884. This explanation has been disputed by scholars who note that X was an expressive, rather than descriptive painter. The scene was identified as being the view from a road overlooking Oslo from the hill of Ekeberg. At the time of painting the work, Xs manic depressive sister Laura Catherine was interned in the mental hospital at the foot of Ekeberg A scholar suggested that the strange, sexless creature in the foreground of the painting was probably inspired by a Peruvian mummy, which X could have seen at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.
