Barbara Bain is a beloved actress who is perhaps best known for her portrayal of undercover agent “Cinnamon Carter” on the classic TV series, “Mission: Impossible”, for which she became the first actress in television history to receive 3 consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
She also received a Golden Globe Award nomination and a Photoplay Award nomination for Best Female TV star. She also created the iconic role of “Dr. Helena Russell” in the classic British science fiction series “Space: 1999” and the made-for-TV movies “Alien Attack”, “Destination Moonbase Alpha”, “Cosmic Princess” and “Journey Through the Black Sun”.
Over the years we’ve seen her in dozens of TV shows including “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, “Perry Mason”, “Get Smart”, “Moonlighting”, “Murder, She Wrote”, “Diagnosis Murder”, “CSI” and many more. Her movie credits include “Savage”, “Skinheads”, “Panic”, “Bel Air”, “Trapped”, “Political Disasters”, “Nothing Special”, “On the Rocks”, “American Gun”, for which she received a DVD Exclusive Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and 3 amazing short films: “Reconnected”, for which she received a Best Actress nomination at the Madrid International Film Festival; “Take My Hand”, for which she won 3 prestigious film festival awards; and “Pacific Edge”, for which she won Best Actress Awards at the Golden Door International Film Festival AND the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.

On the stage, she’s won Los Angeles Critic’s Circle and DramaLogue Awards for her performances in “Wings”, “Happy Days” and “The Chairs”.
In 2016 she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And if ALL OF THAT weren’t enough, Barbara Bain founded a children’s literacy program through the Screen Actors Guild called “Book Pals”, which initially had hundreds of actors reading to school children in major cities across America. And now it’s an online program called “Storyline Online”, so kids all over the world can choose a famous actor to read them a story.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
