VINCE EDWARDS
A role that combines the savage male
with the protective doctor has made Vince
Edwards ("Dr. Ben Casey") popular with
millions of television fans. Older than most
of the new stars he admits to 30 but
probably has passed 35 Vince credits
much of his vitality to organic foods and
weight lifting. He learned his profession
at the American Academy in New York
and through minor roles on the stage and
in the movies where he usually portrayed
gangsters. The popularity of Vince and
another tv doctor, Richard Chamberlain
(see below), rated them a feature in
family WEEKLY June 24.
GEORGE MAHARIS
Born of Greek parents in a tough section
of New York 32 years ago, George Maharis
learned early in life how to take care of
himself. He quit school to join the Marines
but later returned to get his high-school
diploma. He shunned a secure future with
a big mail-order company to take an un
certain job as a singer in a small night
club. His first break came when he re
ceived a part in Wally Cox's "Mr. Peep
ers" show. This eventually led to a star
ring role in the "Route 66" series. In his
spare time, George boxes and enjoys paint
ing in oils.

GEORGE CHAKIRIS
In his first film role as the Puerto Rican
gang leader in "West Side Story," 28-year-old
George Chakiris walked off with a
coveted Oscar as best supporting actor.
Ironically, Hollywood had shunned him
three years earlier, and he turned to New
York and the stage. Two weeks after his
arrival there, he was picked for the Lon
don company of "West Side Story." George,
who, like Maharis, is of Greek extraction,
still lives with his family and keeps a
close watch on his budget. Presently
starring in "Diamond Head" with Charl
ton Heston, he soon will leave for the Far
East to make a film with Yul Brynner.
WARREN BEATTY
Smolderingly handsome Warren Beatty
exploded into stardom like a rocket headed
for space. A hit in his first Broadway play,
"Loss of Roses," he jetted right into a co
starring role opposite Natalie Wood in his
first movie, "Splendor in the Grass." From
there, he went to other starring roles. Like
Horst Buchholz, Warren has often been
compared to the late James Dean because
of his independent manner. Yet Beatty
is unique sleepy, vibrant, hostile, noncon
forming, moody, and intelligent. Warren
comes from a theatrical family. His grand
mother was an elocution teacher, his
mother an actress, and his sister is none
other than Shirley MacLaine.
HORST BUCHHOLZ
Dynamic, intense Horst Buchholz
wouldn't change his name to fit either the
public's tongue or theater marquees and
his fight for individuality has paid off in
box-office popularity. Horst was born 29
years ago in Berlin. During World War II,
his home was bombed, and he was evacu
ated to a children's camp. He ultimately
walked all the way home from Czecho
slovakia, living on begged and stolen food.
To help support his family, he turned to
the theater at 16 and made his American
debut in "The Magnificent Seven." Of the
young actors featured here, Horst is the
only one married.
MAXIMILIAN SCHELL
Hollywood was agog when a "new star,"
Maximilian Schell, won the best-actor
Oscar for his role in "Judgment at Nur
emberg." But the 31-year-old native of
Vienna is not really a newcomer. In
Europe he already has considerable pres
tige. Now he is building an equally solid
reputation in the U.S. as witness his
latest performances in "Five Finger Ex
ercise" and "The Reluctant Saint." Max
was born into a theatrical family. His
mother directs a drama school, his father
is a playwright, and his sister is the tal
ented actress Maria Schell.
RICHARD BEYMER
A native of Iowa, 23-year-old Richard
Beymer moved to Hollywood when he was
10 and almost immediately took advan
tage of the fact. He soon had the juvenile
lead on a children's television show; and by
the time he was 14 he had made his first
movie. Since then, Richard has progressed
steadily to a point where he has become
Hollywood's busiest young actor. His cred
its during the last 12 months include leads
in "West Side Story," "Five Finger Ex
ercise," "Bachelor Flat," and "Adventures
of a Young Man." He enjoys privacy and
lives simply and quietly, seriously paint
ing during free hours.
RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN
Cursed with looks that belie his strength
and masculinity and frankly a novice in
the acting profession, Dick Chamberlain
beat the odds by developing into an actor
who can hold his own even with veteran
Raymond Massey and the guest stars on
tv's popular "Dr. Kildare" series. People
tend to like 27-year-old Dick instantly be
cause of his friendly grin and his inherent
shyness (which kept him from admitting
he had seriously studied opera until after
he was firmly established in his "medical"
role). Dick likes people and loves premieres
and parties. But there's nothing namby
pamby about this six-foot, 175-pound bach
elor. He has a mind of his own and uses it.
