Actress Tippi Hedren (1930) became an instant legend and Golden Globe winner the moment Alfred Hitchcock unleashed a flock of seagulls on her in "The Birds. She followed that terrifying breakout with the psychological thriller "Marnie" and the cult classic "Roar."

Country singer-actress Dolly Parton (1946) earned 11 Grammys with a catalog that includes "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," and "Islands in the Stream." She spent her time between hits anchoring major films like "9 to 5," "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," and "Steel Magnolias."

Actress Katey Sagal (1954) defined television attitude for two different generations, first as Peggy Bundy on "Married... with Children" and later as the Golden Globe-winning matriarch of "Sons of Anarchy." She stirred up trouble on the "Roseanne" spin-off "The Conners" and continues to lend her voice to the cyclops Leela on "Futurama."

Actor Logan Lerman (1992) graduated from demigod heroics in "Percy Jackson" to the calm of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." He recently wrapped up "Hunters" after two seasons and starred in the indie film "Oh, Hi!"
