Answer: steven seagal

Steven Seagal is an American actor, producer, screenwriter, martial artist and musician. Seagal began his adult life as a martial arts instructor in Japan, where he also worked as a bodyguard and trained the Japanese riot police. He made his acting debut in 1988 with the film "Above the Law" and went on to star in over fifty action films during the next 30 years or so. The entertaining action movie "Under Siege" (1992) was probably his most successful screen role, in which he played a US Navy chef who almost single-handedly saves his ship from a gang of mercenaries. A 1995 sequel was less successful, and most of Seagal's efforts since then have gone straight to video.

Seagal is also a guitarist and has released two albums, "Songs from the Crystal Cave" (2004) and "Mojo Priest" (2006). Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Seagal has faced controversy throughout his career, including accusations of sexual harassment and associating rather too closely with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

She then received acclaim for her role in Steven Soderbergh's 1989 drama "Sex, Lies and Videotape", and played the female romantic lead in two successful romantic comedies, "Groundhog Day" (1993) and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994).

Answer: jennifer grey

Jennifer Grey was born in March 1960. After appearing in "Reckless" (1984) and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986), she went on to star in "Dirty Dancing" (1987) as Frances "Baby" Houseman, which brought her worldwide fame. Although she went on to appear regularly in films and on television, none of them quite matched the success of "Dirty Dancing".

In 1987, shortly before the film was released, she suffered a neck injury in a serious car accident, when a car being driven by Matthew Broderick hit another car, killing its two occupants.

She underwent two surgeries and had to wear a neck brace for months. Despite the setback, Grey continued to act and even won the 11th season of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010.
