Fandom will mostly remember James Darren as Vic Fontaine in DS9, but I’m just old enough to remember the teen idol of Goodbye Cruel World. I don’t remember ever seeing Gidget but certainly remember knowing about it. There was a time when there was no way to escape the  beach movies.

James Earl Jones

Known to fandom as the voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones had a long career in movies https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000469/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 

Famous for his strong authoritative voice, it’s interesting to know he took acting lessons to control his stammer.
