- Keith, a distinguished alumnus of NIDA (class of 1986), left an indelible mark in the world of acting, directing, and producing, both in Australia and internationally. His exceptional talent was recognized when he was nominated for the Green Room Awards as the Outstanding Male Actor in 2014 for his role in "Henry V" (Bell Shakespeare), and again in 2016 for the Sydney Theatre Awards as the Best Male Actor in a Leading Role for "The Whale" (Red Line).
His contributions to film and television were significant, with notable roles in Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2014), Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo (2011), Crownies (2011), Home and Away (1988), Fireflies (2004), All Saints (1998), White Collar Blue (2002), State Coroner (1997), Blue Heelers (1994), Phoenix (1992), and Embassy (1990).
Keith's theatre credits are extensive and diverse. He performed in "The Whale" (Red Line - Old Fitz), toured the UAE with "Mr Stink" (CDP), and graced the stage in productions of "Twelfth Night", "Henry V", "Julius Caesar" & "King Lear" (all Bell Shakespeare), "Macbeth", "The Comedy of Errors", "The Tempest" & "Twelfth Night" (all Sport for Jove), and "Emily Eye-Finger" (Monkey Baa). He also appeared in "Homebody/Kabul" & "Whore" (B- Sharp - Belvoir St), "The Herbal Bed" (New Theatre), "Much Ado About Nothing", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Night Sky), "Alive At Williamstown Pier" (Griffin), and "Often I Find That I Am Naked" (National & International tour - Savage Wit).
Further credits include "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Hamlet" & "After Liverpool" (Theatre UpNorth), "Because You Are Mine" (Red Shed), "Ginger Meggs & the Missing Link" (Vic Arts Centre), "The Adman" & "Heroic Measures" (Playbox - Malthouse), "Wogs Out Of Work" (Australian tour), "Noel Coward in Two Keys" & "A Small Family Business" (Marian St), "Woman In Mind" (STC), and "Hamlet" (Q Theatre).
Keith's legacy continues to inspire and influence the world of performing arts. - Mary Weiss was the lead singer of the 1960s girl group The Shangri-Las, four New York City Catholic schoolgirl friends that included her older sister Betty and a couple of classmates, twins Mary Ann and Margie Ganser. Mary was only 15 when the newly-formed group was discovered by Red Bird Records producer/songwriter George "Shadow" Morton in 1964. Although the Shangri-Las began the year being photographed in chiffon dresses and high heels, Morton soon cultivated a biker-chick/bad girl image for them, with the group usually appearing live clad in tight pants and black leather vests. Their songs featured melodramatic music and lyrics dealing with such themes as love lost, death, and general teenage angst, and often included sound effects, such as seagulls along the beach in 1964's "Remember (Walking in the Sand)", their first hit, and roaring motorcycles, as can be heard in their signature song from that same year, the biker epic "Leader of the Pack." Incidentally, both tracks featured a young session pianist by the name of Billy Joel.
The small Red Bird label eventually folded in late 1966 due to financial problems and the group signed with Mercury Records, but changing musical tastes and litigation over bad contracts led to the group's demise in 1968. Mary went on to work as a secretary for an architectural firm in midtown Manhattan and eventually became a successful commercial interior designer and furniture installer in New York City. She has maintained a very low profile, appearing only twice for group reunions in 1977 and 1989. Her first marriage ended in divorce after 11 years, but she is currently happily wed to a paralegal, although she has never had any children. She and her second husband now live in Babylon, Long Island.
After nearly 40 years out of the musical spotlight, Mary has contemplated retiring completely from her current career and made a step in that direction with the 2007 release of her first solo CD, "Dangerous Game", which she has supported with limited touring and an appearance on Conan O'Brien's late night show, both times backed by Reigning Sound, the band that she recorded the CD with as well. - Héctor Bidonde was born on 2 March 1937 in La Plata, Argentina.
