Career: Reynolds found fame with TV series Gunsmoke and Hawk. In 1972 he became a movie star thanks to the acclaimed thriller Deliverance, while 1977's Smokey and the Bandit gave him wider appeal. He has since worked continuously with differing amounts of success on features such as The Cannonball Run, Sharky's Machine, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Striptease, as well as his own brainchild, the sitcom Evening Shade. However, it was his turn as porn mogul Jack Horner in Boogie Nights that revived his fortunes and bagged him his only Oscar nomination to date. More recently, he's appeared in The Dukes of Hazzard and alongside Adam Sandler in a remake of his own 1974 hit The Longest Yard.

Career: Welch's first major acting role was in the film A Swingin' Summer (1965). Her big break came a year later when she played the lead in popular sci-fi film Fantastic Voyage (1966). In the same year, she created a stir by wearing only a two-piece deer skin bikini in One Million Years BC (1966). A publicity still of her in the bikini became a best-selling poster and she has been regarded as an international sex symbol ever since. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), 100 Rifles (1969) and The Three Musketeers (1973), for which she won a Golden Globe. In 1970, she joined forces with Tom Jones for a TV song-and-dance special. She struggled to capture her early success on the big screen and made a number of flops. She continued to act in TV movies and made guest appearances in a number of shows. More recently, she starred in American Family, Welcome to the Captain and CSI: Miami. In 2001, she had a supporting role in popular film comedy Legally Blonde.
