DEAR STACY: How are Julianne Hough and Derek Hough related? — Gina S., Newark, N.J.

DEAR GINA: The "Dancing With the Stars" pros and ballroom dance champs are sister and brother. They have three other sisters as well, and their family, based in Provo, Utah, is full of competitive dancers. They are each broadening their stardom into the movie realm these days. She has the remake of "Footloose" coming out in October and will be playing the role of Sherrie Christian in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical "Rock of Ages," alongside Tom Cruise and Mary J. Blige. That movie is due for release in 2012, as is Julianne's second country music record album. (And she's dating Ryan Seacrest, in case you missed that.) Derek, meanwhile, took this season off "DWTS" to make the big-screen "Cobu 3D."

DEAR STACY: Is Sandra Oh of Chinese extraction? And can you tell about her background, please? Age? Marital status? — L.G., Santa Ana, Calif.

DEAR L.G.: Born to Korean parents in Ontario, Canada, the "Grey's Anatomy" star began her career as a ballet dancer and eventually studied drama at the National Theatre School in Montreal. She went on to appear in numerous TV and movie projects, including "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "The Princess Diaries." Her most recognized work came with the success of "Sideways," written and directed by her former husband of five years, Alexander Payne.

Oh, who is 39, is vegan. She's more recently been in a relationship with musician Andrew Featherston.

DEAR STACY: Whatever happened to Joe Penny? — Jordan W., Whitefish Bay, Wis.

DEAR JORDAN: The 54-year-old actor of "Jake and the Fatman" and "Gangster Chronicles" fame continues to work, though lately, not as visibly as in the past. He starred with Lea Thompson in a series of Hallmark Channel "Jane Doe" movies and has guested on shows like "Cold Case" and "CSI: Miami." He worked with Ben Cross and Michael Ironside in the "The Red Phone" made-for-television movie thrillers seen in the U.K. and Europe.

DEAR STACY: Can you tell me if there was ever a film biography made of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson? — Tennie M., Orlando, Fla.

DEAR TENNIE: You're thinking of "Bojangles," which was on Showtime in 2001 and starred the late Gregory Hines. It's available on DVD.
