ASK STACYDEAR STACY: Is Tim Conway still performing? He's a favorite of mine. — Jim M., Spokane, Wash. DEAR JIM: Yes, the beloved funnyman, 75, is certainly still performing. Lately, live comedy concerts have been his mainstay. He has a show with comedians Chuck McCann and Louise DuArt — recreating classic stories and sketches from "The Carol Burnett Show," among other things — that will be hitting theaters next year. DEAR STACY: I have always been a huge fan of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." I often wonder about the cast of this wonderful series. The actors who played Sully, Hank, Horace and Dorothy — what are they doing now? — Marie S., East Rutherford, N.J. DEAR MARIE: Joe Lando (Sully) continues to act. He starred in the 2006 movie "A.I. Assault," which was released on DVD here in the U.S., and has appeared on shows including ABC Family's "Wildfire." He's married and has three sons and a daughter. William Shockley (Hank) also continues his career, with projects including the 2010 movie "Last Will" starring Tatum O'Neal, and the indie "Cat City," which he co-wrote and has been making the festival rounds. He co-owns an Austin, Texas restaurant, Cafe Josie. The handsome single actor sings and plays guitar in a band called Kanan Dume and does a lot of voice work, including commercials for Toyota and AT&T. Frank Collison (Horace) has been seen in "Monk," "7th Heaven" and HBO's "Carnivale" in addition to staying active on the L.A. theater scene. He and his wife have three children. Highly respected character actress Barbara Babcock (Dorothy), an Emmy winner for her "Hill Street Blues" emoting — with some 30 features and much stage work to her credit — has been splitting her time in recent years between homes in Carmel, Calif., and Ireland. Divorced, Babcock has also been active in wildlife conservation groups including the Kilimanjaro Society. DEAR STACY: Is Clint Eastwood's wife, Dina Ruiz Eastwood, still working in TV? I remember her from "Candid Camera." Also, can you tell their age difference, and what is her ethnicity? — Just Curious, Cedar Rapids, Iowa DEAR CURIOUS: The 44-year-old former Northern California TV news anchor is not currently working in TV on a regular basis. She is busy with a myriad of charitable and civic activities, with mothering her and Clint's 12-year-old daughter, Morgan, with writing articles — and with the demands of her 35-years-older husband's business and social calendar.
DEAR STACY: On "NCIS," the episode "Dead Man Walking," name and bio of actor dying of radiation poisoning. Where is he now? — B.L., Newtown, Conn. DEAR B.L.: That role was played by Matthew Marsden. The 36-year-old actor/singer hails from West Bromwich, England. He started modeling as a way to work himself through Middlesex University, then focused on launching an acting career — breaking through when he landed a role on the popular U.K. soap "Coronation Street." Marsden also has had some success as a recording artist, with one of his singles hitting No. 13 on Britain's pop charts. The 6-foot-2-inch actor has been busy in Hollywood in recent years, with feature credits including "Black Hawk Down," "Anacondas: The Hunt for Blood Orchid," the 2008 "Rambo" and this year's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." He also starred as Paris in the USA Network's "Helen of Troy" miniseries of 2003. Marsden lives in L.A. with his wife, former ballerina Nadine Micallef, and their son, Finn. He also has a son, Connor, from a previous relationship. He's a black belt in Tai Kwon Do, an avid motorcycle rider, a PADI-qualified divemaster and a snowboarder. DEAR STACY: Who's that gorgeous black girl with curly hair in "Warehouse 13"? — Tito B., East Orange, N.J. DEAR TITO: You're referring to 25-year-old Canadian actress Genelle Williams, who is known to viewers of Nickelodeon's The N from her role as Kim Carlisle on "Radio Free Roscoe," as well as appearances on "Degrassi: the Next Generation." She's also on the Canadian series "The Latest Buzz." Other credits for the Toronto born-and-raised actress include the big-screen horror flick "Orphan." DEAR STACY: Can you please give the name of the song on "Grey's Anatomy's" Oct. 22 episode that played when Alex threw his cell phone? I like the feeling of it and the singer's voice. — M.S., Bayside, NY DEAR M.S.: That was "Out of the Dark" by Matt Hires, from his "Take Us to the Start" album.
