- 4The crystalline vibrato of Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Robin Gibb was a key factor in four decades of hit songs by the Bee Gees, alongside brothers Barry and Maurice. In addition to co-writing nearly all of the band's greatest songs - from 1960s-era hits like "To Love Somebody" and "Massachusetts," to their record-breaking disco and funk songs of the 1970s for the Saturday Night Fever (1977) soundtrack - Robin's high, precise harmonies with his brothers helped sell some 220 million records, a figure comparable only to Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Michael Jackson. Save for a brief period in 1969, Gibb was present for the momentous highs, but also the intense lows of the Bee Gees' career, which culminated in 1988 with the death of baby brother Andy Gibb, and then in 2003 with the death of his twin, Maurice Gibb. However, to the delight of fans worldwide, Robin and Barry announced in 2009 that they would resume recording new songs. But the promise of new music never materialized due to mounting health issues for the singer. Still, the contributions of Robin Gibb and his brothers to pop music were almost without peer and were some of the most successful ever recorded.

- 29Robin Quivers was the good-natured but forthright co-host of shock jock Howard Stern's various media ventures for over three decades, ascending with him from regional broadcasting in the early 1980s to one of the top-rated satellite radio programs in the 21st century. Throughout it all, Quivers remained Stern's most even-keeled on-air companion, complimenting and often parrying his outrageous comments with a polished delivery and wry sense of humor that meshed well with his part-puerile, part-observational stream-of-consciousness style. Unlike many of the comics, on-air figures and human oddities that orbited Stern's media empire, Quivers was selective about parlaying her fame to personal projects, choosing to devote her energies to charitable efforts instead of grasps at solo stardom. In doing so, she cultivated her own entertainment media spotlight, which focused on her weight loss efforts as well as her recovery from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in 2012. Still, it was Quivers' relationship with Stern, which remained unbroken since 1981 that made her a highly recognizable figure in popular culture.

Weigert was unforgettable as the toughest woman on the frontier, more than holding her own with some of the roughest characters assembled on television, which opened the doors for more prominent roles both on television and the big screen. Prior to "Deadwood," she was an occasional guest star on New York-based procedurals while cutting her teeth on the stage, including in an acclaimed Broadway revival of "Noises Off" (2001) and a prominent role in a Mike Nichols production of "The Seagull" (2001).

By the time she did "Deadwood," Weigert was seen in studio releases like "The Good German" (2006) while landing a small recurring role on the popular series "Lost" (ABC, 2004-2010). Though sticking mainly to guest appearances and short series arcs after "Deadwood" left the air in 2006, Weigert nonetheless remained a talented and highly-sought after character performer.

- 67Television actress Robin Riker has proved prolific, appearing in more than 60 television programs since her screen debut in 1976 with a bit part on the World War II adventure series "Black Sheep Squadron" (formerly titled "Baa Baa Black Sheep"). Since this inauspicious beginning, Riker has plugged along, scoring one-offs and guest spots on a wide range of programs. However, her first noteworthy role came in 1984, when she was cast as the sassy waitress, Kelly Hall, on Showtime's daring family sitcom "Brothers." She appeared on the series for four seasons and earned two CableACE nominations for her efforts. Riker went on to snag cast positions on a string of sitcoms, from Chris Elliott's manchild-centered series, "Get a Life," to the garage-set Edward Asner vehicle, "Thunder Alley," to the family-friendly comedy "The Gregory Hines Show." Sadly, each proved short-lived. In 2000, Riker tried her hand at soap opera acting with a recurring role on the long-running daytime drama "Days of Our Lives." She'd take on soaps again in 2008, joining the cast of the Los Angeles-set "The Bold and The Beautiful." However, Riker is likely best known for her various guest spots on popular programs. Notably, she played immoral public relations expert Candy Springtime on David E. Kelley's dramedy "Boston Legal" and a backstabbing, spell-spouting mom on Joss Whedon's cult adored action-saga, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
