Sarah Elizabeth Jones was a child of Richard and Elizabeth Jones. She was the sister of Rebecca Jones and Eric Jones. Sarah began her film career while interning on the set of Army Wives (2007), a popular television show. Sarah continued to climb the ranks of the film industry, quickly finding a passion in the art of Cinematography. She was a loyal and respected member of the International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600).
Sarah was working on a biopic about Southern rock musician Gregg Allman entitled "Midnight Rider" when she was struck and killed by a freight train. The cast and crew were filming a dream sequence on an old railroad trestle bridge near Doctortown, Georgia, on an active line, when a freight train unexpectedly showed up giving them only seconds to scramble to safety. Crew members were forced to abandon the bed they were trying to move, leaving it partially on the tracks where it was struck by the train, shattering it into shrapnel-like pieces. One of those pieces struck Sarah, knocking her into the train, killing her instantly. Six others were also injured by the debris from the bed and had to be hospitalized. Sarah was age 27 when she died.
Sarah's tragic loss has led to a new push for safety on the set in a movement called Safety for Sarah. To honor her memory, family and friends also started a Facebook page entitled Slates for Sarah. In September 2014 the family announced the creation of an umbrella organization, The Sarah Jones Film Foundation, the purpose of which is to award film scholarships, promote set safety, and oversee the operations of Safety for Sarah and Slates for Sarah.- Make-Up Department

Having been born into an active motion picture family, mother being an actress and father being a producer/director, it was only fitting that Gene would follow into the industry in some way. During early school years he worked on television shows that his father produced or directed as an actor or as an extra. Gene began shaping his skills by attending beauty college to learn make-up and hair design. After completing two courses with honors, he entered into the U.S. Navy. In 1963, after basic training, he was assigned to the carrier U.S.S Enterprise as a medic/communications worker. After 6 months of active duty, was accepted into the UDT-SEAL program in San Diego and went to Southeast Asia for a tour of duty that lasted a total of six years. Upon his return to civilian life in 1970, he entered the Universal City Studios Make-up Apprenticeship Program under Bud Westmore and Tom Gigante. Also worked for the Max Factor Make-up studios in Hollywood during the weekends for almost three years. He received his first assignment at Universal in 1971 and has been working at his craft ever since. Having moved to Atlanta, Ga in 1973 to head the Make-up Department of a local production company, he has spent the last 23 years being handy in productions created, shot and developed in the state. Calling in his experience in the Navy, he has been a technical advisor on films such as VietNam War Story, The Abyss, Flight of the Intruder and U.S. Navy SEALs just to name a few. After having spent over 30 years in the cosmetic industry as a working make-up artist, he created a course of study that teaches the finer art and science of prosthetic make-up molding, casting and application for the motion picture industry, as well as its medical usages in the field of cancer research and restorative make-up applications. As an advisor and consultant to the American Cancer Research Council and the American Cancer Society, he has logged over 13 years in the medical field as an active participant in the design and development of prosthetic devices for CVA victims.- Emma Kelly, the "Lady of 6,000 Songs" made famous by the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." John Berendt, author of the 1994 book that was made into a motion picture, devoted an entire chapter to the singer and pianist, describing Kelly as a teetotaling Baptist who played cocktail lounges Saturday nights and Sunday schools on Sunday mornings. The recognition made her Savannah nightclub act a must-see for tourists. Kelly got her nickname from Savannah-born songwriter Johnny Mercer, who, after challenging her to play numerous songs he named, estimated she knew 6,000 songs from memory.

- The man. The myth. The legend. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him. William Freddie McCullough died on September 11, 2013.
Freddie loved deep fried Southern food smothered in Cane Syrup, fishing at Santee Cooper Lake, Little Debbie Cakes, Two and a Half Men, beautiful women, Reeses Cups and Jim Beam. Not necessarily in that order. He hated vegetables and hypocrites. Not necessarily in that order.
He was a master craftsman who single-handedly built his beautiful house from the ground up. Freddie was also great at growing fruit trees, grilling chicken and ribs, popping wheelies on his Harley at 50 mph, making everyone feel appreciated and hitting Coke bottles at thirty yards with his 45. When it came to floor covering, Freddie was one of the best in the business. And he loved doing it.
Freddie loved to tell stories. And you could be sure 50% of every story was true. You just never knew which 50%.
Marshall Matt Dillon, Ben Cartwright and Charlie Harper were his TV heroes. And he was the hero for his six children: Mark, Shain, Clint, Brandice, Ashley and Thomas.
Freddie adored the ladies. And they adored him. There isn't enough space here to list all of the women from Freddie's past. There isn't enough space in the Bloomingdale phone book. A few of the more colorful ones were Momma Margie, Crazy Pam, Big Tittie Wanda, Spacy Stacy and Sweet Melissa (he explained that nickname had nothing to do with her attitude). He attracted more women than a shoe sale at Macy's.
He got married when he was 18, but it didn't last. Freddie was no quitter, however, so he gave it a shot two more times. It didn't work out with any of the wives, but he managed to stay friends with them and their parents.
In between his many adventures, Freddie appeared in several films including The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd, A Time for Miracles, The Conspirator, Double Wide Blues and Pretty Fishes.
When Freddie took off for that pool party in the sky, he left behind four sons, two daughters and seven delightful grandkids.
Freddie was killed when he rushed into a burning orphanage to save a group of adorable children. Or maybe not. We all know how he liked to tell stories. - Production Manager
