Screenwriter/producer Alex Gottlieb got into show business writing gags and scripts for such radio stars as Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor. He went to work for Universal Pictures as a writer, mostly of "B" westerns and action pictures. He let it be known that he wanted to become a producer, and in 1941 Universal execs called him in and told him that they were giving him a chance to produce the debut film of a new comedy duo the studio was grooming for stardom--Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. He took the job and the result was Buck Privates (1941), which turned out to be one of the studio's biggest hits of the year, raking in more than $4 million on a $180,000 budget. Gottlieb produced nine of the team's films altogether, the last being Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952) in 1952. He was also a producer on several episodes of their TV series, The Abbott and Costello Show (1952), and soon got into TV in a big way, writing and producing such series as The Gale Storm Show: Oh! Susanna (1956), Dear Phoebe (1954) and Sugarfoot (1957), among others.

- Jackie Milburn is a football player of Newcastle United F.C. and England National Football Team, though he also spent four seasons at Linfield F.C.. He was also known as Wor Jackie (particularly in North East England, a Geordie dialectal version of 'Our Jackie') and as the First World Wor (in reference to his global fame).
Cousin to the mother of Bobby Charlton and Jack Charlton, Milburn played two trial matches at St James' Park as a 19-year-old in 1943. In the second of these, he scored six second half goals. Milburn made his competitive debut in the FA Cup in the 1945-46 season and was initially deployed on the left wing as a supplier to Charlie Wayman. However, Wayman was dropped before a 4-0 defeat to eventual winners Charlton Athletic F.C. in a 1947 FA Cup semi-final and when he afterwards vowed not to play for United again, manager George Martin made the decision to switch Milburn to centre forward. In his next match, on 18 October 1947, Milburn wore the number nine shirt for the first time and scored a hat-trick.
Milburn's subsequent achievements, particularly his two goals which won the 1951 FA Cup Final and his 45-second opener in the 1955 FA Cup Final which was the fastest ever Wembley FA Cup Final goal until it was beaten by Roberto di Matteo in 1997, brought him national recognition and afforded him iconic status on Tyneside. In total, Milburn played in three FA Cup winning finals for United; 1951, 1952 and 1955.
By the time Milburn left Newcastle in 1957, he had become the highest goalscorer in Newcastle United's history. He remained so until he was surpassed by Alan Shearer in February 2006. Milburn remains Newcastle's second highest goalscorer, having scored 200 competitive goals. Milburn's transfer to Linfield in 1957 was almost jeopardized when the Newcastle board demanded a substantial signing fee, and much to the anger of fans, Milburn was not immediately granted a testimonial. His signing for Linfield "added thousands to the gate" and he made 54 appearances, scoring 68 goals in four seasons in all competitions for the club. He was finally granted a testimonial ten years later, in 1967.
Milburn was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in October 2006. In 2009, Goal listed Milburn as 43rd in their list of the top English players of all time. - Henrietta Jacobson was born on 27 March 1906 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
