Robert "Bobby" Hatfield
(Cal Lambda '61)

Brother Bobby Hatfield and his partner, Bill Medley, formed the famous music group the Righteous Brothers, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in early 2003, the first artists from Orange County.

Robert Lee Hatfield, who lived with his family in Newport Beach, was born August 10th, 1940, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and moved to Anaheim, California when he was four.

Hatfield organized singing and instrumental groups in high school while helping his parents with their dry cleaning business. An avid athlete, Hatfield considered a career in professional baseball but found his true calling in music -- a love he pursued while attending Long Beach State University, where he formed a band and performed at bars and proms. He pledged SAE and Cal Lambda in the Fall of 1961.

Hatfield was a member of the singing group the Variations; when in 1962 a record company executive suggested that he team with Bill Medley, who was singing with the Paramours.

The Righteous Brothers toured regularly; performing at least 150 concerts a year, and were frequent headliners in Las Vegas. They pioneered "blue-eyed soul" with hits like "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." "Unchained Melody" was featured in the 1990 movie "Ghost," and a re-recorded version earned Hatfield and Medley a Grammy nomination. Their signature 1964 single, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," is the most-played single ever on American radio.

Bobby Hatfield was a spectacular entertainer and a world-class human being, and he will truly be missed.

John Roland Gingher (John Roland)
(Cal Lambda '59)

John has been New York City's FOX News (Channel 5) anchorman for about 30 years, currently reporting the 5:00 news. He has been with the station since 1969 (then Metromedia-owned WNEW). John began his career in broadcast news in the 1960's during one of broadcast journalism's most exciting eras. His first assignment was as a researcher for NBC News in Los Angeles in 1966, during the "space race," pitting America against the Soviet Union. While at NBC, Roland worked on coverage of the expedition that paved the way for the historic 1969 moon walk by Neil Armstrong. Later that year, KTTV, the Los Angeles based sister station of WNYW, offered Roland his first on-air assignment as a reporter. He accepted, staying there until December 26, 1969, when he moved to New York to join Channel 5.

Although he is a double Emmy Award winner (1978 and 1983) and a three time nominee, John's office wall is covered with awards and citations testifying to his concern for others. John has been honored by civic groups and fraternal organizations including the 1974 Public Service Award from the American Federal Government Employees Association, the New York City Patrolman's Benevolent Association Journalism Award in 1982; the Good Samaritan Award from the Bronx Chamber of Commerce in 1983 and many, many others. He is very well known and widely liked in New York.

Robert S. Woods
(Cal Lambda '66)

Robert plays Bo Buchannan on "One Life To Live" on ABC. He created the role of Bo Buchanan, the handsome son of the rich and powerful Buchanan family, in 1979 and quickly skyrocketed to stardom, receiving an Emmy Award in 1983 as Outstanding Lead Actor, as well as five other nominations -- in 1986, 1993, 1994, 1999 and 2000. His recognition for his work as Llanview's Police Commissioner Bo Buchanan also includes multiple award nominations from Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Update. He won his fourth MVP trophy from Soap Opera Update in 1998.

After six years as Bo, Mr. Woods chose to take a hiatus from Daytime television and head to Los Angeles to spend time with his ailing mother, as well as to pursue other acting opportunities. During that time he portrayed Commander Eugene Lindseyin the acclaimed 1988 miniseries, War and Remembrance. He also starred in an award-winning Los Angeles production of Stitch and Eubie, the television movie Carly's Web and the pilot Changing Patterns.

In 1988 Mr. Woods decided to return to One Life to Live. Since then he has managed to juggle playing one of Daytime's most popular characters with other acting gigs. He guest-starred on Roseanne, on USA Network's Swamp Thing, and in the Lifetime movie, Deadly Love. Additionally brother Woods is developing several television projects, including The Garth Ryland Mysteries, based on a series of popular novels by author John R. Riggs.

In 1971, when he returned home to his native California after 15 months as a Green Beret in Vietnam with the Army's Fifth Special Forces Group, Mr. Woods went to California State University at Long Beach to complete his broadcasting degree. It was there that he pursued his long-time interest in acting and directing. During school, and upon graduation, he studied at the Film Actors Workshop, The James Best Theatre Centre, The Directors Lab and The First Acting Company Workshop. He got his big television break on the series City of Angels.

In steady succession, Mr. Woods landed the recurring roles of Dr. David Spencer in The Waltons and Lt. Bob King in Project UFO, as well as guest-starring appearances on dozens of series, such as Family and Newhart, and made-for-television movies including Chase, Just a Little Inconvenience, The Night They Took Miss Beautiful, Police Story and Fantasies. He also appeared in the feature films The China Syndrome and Big Wednesday.
