Meeting New Members

Sharkhunters Members' Brief Bios

by Harry Cooper


WELCOME ABOARD to our new Members!

(3526-1994) MONTE MARKHAM USA
MONTE is well recognized on American television from his early days guest appearances on THE LOVE BOAT to his time as one of the regulars on the smash prime time soap DALLAS to his recent new appearance on the comedy hit GRACE UNDER FIRE. No matter his role. it seems that MONTE is always wearing that battered leather flight jacket. He owns PERPETUAL MOTION Production Co. & has made several feature documentaries.
I should also say that MONTE was in the same class in Palm Beach High School as BUD DANA (245-A/LIFE-1987) and another TV and movie star, Burt Reynolds.
