Kelsi Osborn (1974):
|
Musician who is a member of the trio “SHeDAISY,” along with her sisters, Kristyn and Kassidy. The sisters perfected their sound at a very young age, singing to the “Beach Boys” on family trips in the car. After moving to Nashville to pursue their childhood dream, Kelsi and her sisters were signed to Lyric Street Records. The vocal styling of the group’s three-part harmony gives a contemporary edge to their classic, country sound. As a result, country music fans instantly embraced the girls, and “The Whole SheBang” was the first country album to debut at number one on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s Chart for new artists. Their sophmore effort “Brand New Year” (2000) was a combination of holiday classics and SHeDAISY originals, written by Kristyn. Their success continues with subsequent releases "All Mixed Up" (2001) and "Knock on the Sky" (2002).

|
Actress who won an Academy Award for her feature debut in Cactus Flower.

Hawn’s career has only picked up steam as the years have progressed, and she has given stellar performances in Death Becomes Her (1992), Everyone Says I Love You (1996), The First Wives Club (1996), The Out-of-Towners (1999) and The Banger Sisters in 2002.
