Trainor was born and raised in San Francisco. While a ttending college in San Diego, she was recruited by the
local all-news radio station as the morning drive news editor. CBS News later brought her back to her
hometown of San Francisco, where she served as news editor for KCBS-TV. She was being groomed for a
news job in front of the cameras when she decided to leave it all behind to pursue her first interest, the motion
picture industry.

She moved to Los Angeles, and after waitressing for several months, took a job working as production assistant
to two up-and-coming producers — Steven Spielberg and John Milius. Spielberg was in the midst of producing
“1941,” and it was during the making of the film that Trainor met “1941′s” writer, and her future husband, Robert
Zemeckis, himself just breaking into the entertainment business. She later worked as executive in charge of
creative affairs at 20th Century Fox under the regime of Sherry Lansing and Daniel Melnick. Despite her success
behind the cameras, Trainor decided to give her first love, acting, one more try, with roles in feature films soon
following.

The role of which Trainor is proudest is that of mom to her 10-year-old son, Alex. She and her family make their
home in Montecito, California.

In addition to his on-screen roles, Katims is also the father of “Relativity” creator and co- executive producer
Jason Katims. He jokingly says that he’s all for nepotism, even if, in the Katims family, it seems to work
backwards.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Katims began a career in the theater but later abandoned acting to work for a
New York-based firm that sold law books, Matthew Bender and Company. He rose through the ranks and
became one of the firm’s top marketing executives, a position he later chose to give up to return to the West
Coast and take on a lucrative job as salesman for the company in the Inland Empire region of Southern
California. Although his family and friends questioned the move, he prospered, doubling his salary. But while
Katims had a beautiful home and enjoyed a rich lifestyle, he found himself unhappy. He says he realized he’d
been playing the role of a salesman all those years, when what he really wanted was to return to acting after a
30-year hiatus.

He opted to take an early retirement to seek work as an actor. Although the move taxed him financially, he
eventually began to find roles in Equity waiver productions. Ironically, the job that got him his SAG card was that
of an attorney in “Divorce Court,” a role he felt more than qualified to play after all those years of selling law
books.

Since returning to acting, Katims has appeared in numerous feature films and stage productions, in addition to
television. In James Brooks’ hit film, “Broadcast News,” he played Martin Klein, the laid- off employee who
wishes his boss an early death. He also co-starred in the recent “The Pallbearer” and “Presumed Innocent.” He
has starred off-Broadway in plays at the John Houseman Theatre, Riverwest Theatre and Jewish Repertory
Theatre, with his most notable performance in “Men in Pits,” written by son Jason, at two theaters. Regionally, he
has appeared in “A Dybbuk,” the Tony Kushner adaptation, at the Denver Center Theatre Conservatory; as
Uncle Umbi at the Yale Repertory Company’s production of “Bricklayers”; and as Ben in Neil Simon’s
“Broadway Bound” at the South Jersey Regional Theatre.

Katims and his wife of 41 years, Ruth, make their home in Santa Monica but keep one foot in New York by
maintaining a home there as well. In addition to Jason, they are the parents of Michael Katims, who works in the
film business in Paris as a translator and who is currently directing the dubbing of a French film into English; and
Susan Paolotti, a sales executive in New York. The Katims are eagerly anticipating the births of their first
grandchildren — Jason and wife Cathy are expecting a son; and Michael and wife Veronique are expecting twin
girls, all in November.

and performed the musical, “Positive Me,” at Ellen Stuart’s La Mama in Manhattan, one of the earliest
AIDS-related theater productions.

Her first television experience was as host on MTV ‘s “Awake on the Wild Side.” She moved to Los Angeles
