Acclaimed singer, songwriter and composer Jimmy Webb was born on August 15, 1946 in Elk City, Oklahoma. His father was a Baptist minister. An avid lover of music since he was a little boy, Webb made his first public appearance as a performer playing the organ at his father's church. He also improvised, rearranged and re-harmonized hymns. Jimmy began his composing career with religious songs and fronted his own rock'n'roll band. The Webb family moved to Colton, CA in 1964. Jimmy attended San Bernardino Valley College and studied music. Webb's first job in the music industry was transcribing other people's songs. The first song Webb wrote that was recorded was "My Christmas Tree" for the 1965 album, "Merry Christmas, the Supremes". In 1967, Jimmy really hit his stride as a songwriter; he penned the hit songs, "Up, Up and Away" for The 5th Dimension, and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" for Glen Campbell (this particular song had previously been recorded by Johnny Rivers on his 1966 album, "Changes"). Webb went on to write several more hit songs for Campbell: "Galveston", "Wichita Lineman" and "Where's the Playground, Susie". Other songs Jimmy has written are "MacArthur Park" for Richard Harris (Webb collaborated with Harris on the albums, "A Tramp Shining" and "The Yard Went on Forever"), "The Worst Thing That Could Happen" by Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge, "All I Know" for Art Garfunkel, "Adios" and "Easy for You to Say" for Linda Ronstadt, and "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress" for Joe Cocker. In addition, the ballad "The Highwayman" was a big smash country success when it was covered by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson in the late 80s. In 1969, Webb wrote and arranged Thelma Houston's album, "Sunshower". Jimmy's songs have been either recorded or performed by such diverse artists as Frank Sinatra, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Rosemary Clooney, Reba McEntire, R.E.M., Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Tanya Tucker, Arlo Guthrie and Tony Bennett. Webb's solo albums, "Words and Music", "And So: On", "Letters", "Land's End", "El Mirage", "Angel Heart", "Suspending Disbelief", "Twilight of the Renegades" and "Live and At Large", were all praised by critics. In 1983, Jimmy wrote the cantata, "The Animals' Christmas". He composed the scores for the films, 'Doc' (1971), The Naked Ape (1973), Voices (1985), The Last Unicorn (1982), The Hanoi Hilton (1987) and Clean and Narrow (2000). Moreover, Webb has scored episodes of the TV shows, Amazing Stories (1985), Faerie Tale Theatre (1982) and Tales from the Crypt (1989). Jimmy's songs are featured on the soundtracks for a bunch of movies that include How Sweet It Is! (1968), American Pop (1981), The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992), The Santa Clause (1994), Get Shorty (1995), Heat (1995), The Kid (2000), Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), View from the Top (2003) and Chicken Little (2005).

Kambra Lee Potter was born and raised in Elk City, Oklahoma. She is an actress, entertainment show host, emcee, motivational speaker, and former Miss Oklahoma, who now resides in Los Angeles. She's also a self-proclaimed "Oklafornian."
Kambra's love for the entertainment industry began when she was 13-years-old, and she first participated in the National American Miss pageant. She placed 2nd runner-up to Miss Oklahoma Pre-teen and 4th runner-up in the pageant's optional acting competition.
Later that year, Kambra traveled to California and competed in the National pageant, where she placed in the top 10. She says she immediately felt like California was where she belonged, and at that moment decided she would one day make Southern California her home.
As a teenager, Kambra attended acting and modeling classes at John Casablancas in Oklahoma City and later attended an international model and talent convention expo in Dallas, Texas, where she was awarded the Best Overall Junior Female Actor Award.
In 2008, Kambra was named Miss Oklahoma Teen, and in 2010, she became Miss Oklahoma, placing 3rd runner-up at the National pageant. She also placed in the top 5 for the Actress competition every year, and won Best Actress multiple times.
Kambra used the title of Miss Oklahoma to raise over $9,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by orchestrating a putt-putt golf tournament in her hometown.
She attended San Diego State University, where she majored in broadcast journalism and minored in sociology. After taking an acting-on-camera class at SDSU, her passion for acting was reignited.
After college she relocated to Los Angeles, where she landed lead roles in numerous indie films, and student films for USC, UCLA, NYFA, among others. She can also be spotted in local and regional commercials. Kambra first gained experience on network TV as a background actress in Go On, 90210 and Mistresses. She was also featured in a scene with Dennis Quaid on CBS's Vegas.
Kambra previously co-hosted an entertainment radio show for KCR Radio, served as the official Emcee for over 35 state-wide pageants, hosted 100+ events as a motivational speaker for young girls, and continues to host red carpet events and press interviews for That's My Entertainment, including at San Diego Comic-Con.
