In 1972 she was one of the original cast members of groundbreaking serial Number 96 (1972) in which she played smouldering older sex-symbol Vera Collins and suffered through a series of ill-fated love affairs with various shady men. She reprised the role in the feature film version of the serial Number 96 (1974). Vera Collins was one of the show's most popular characters and survived four and a half years of tribulation until Elaine Lee left the series. Soon after a spin-off featuring Lee as Vera Collins and another former Number 96 actress Abigail was planned but did not eventuate. She then made infrequent guest appearances in television drama series and mini-series, while her career moved more towards the stage with several successful theatrical roles. In 1997 she returned to a regular television role in the comedy series _"Bullpitt" (1997)_. Her character, named Joan Collins, is somewhat of a parody of Vera Collins and of Elaine Lee herself.

He worked with the National Republican Congressional Committee in 1968, and served as editor of "Monday" the weekly publication of the Republican National Committee, from 1970 to 1973. From 1973 until 1980 he wrote a nationally syndicated column that appeared in over 100 newspapers. During the end of this period he was also the editor of "Battleline" a monthly publication of the American Conservative Union. He then took a position as editor of the "Conservative Digest", and in 1982 began writing a column for "The Washington Times" newspaper.
He appeared on the cable TV network "America's Voice" as a program host and commentator between 1998 and 1999. He held several other positions as well as commentator or columnist, promoting conservative political views. He served as a political advisor for Pat Buchanon's presidential campaign, as well as serving as Communications Director for the 2004 presidential campaign of Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka.
Despite his early support of the Republican party, he eventually came to reject the party. He said about the party "The Republican Party and its conservative cheerleaders are failures. They do not honor God or defend, explicitly, the God-ordained family. And they definitely do not care about our Constitution." His extreme positions on social issues and mercurial personality stalled his career within the GOP and in the media at large. He was a Christian, and believed that government should be conducted according to Biblical principles. Since this view is seen as being in conflict with America's rule of separation of Church and state, this caused many people to be critical of his views, and see him a controversial figure. - Steve Yano was born on 27 July 1952 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He died on 17 September 2014 in Montebello, California, USA.
