Clint Walker was born Norman Eugene Walker in Hartford, southwestern Illinois, to Gladys Huldah (Schwanda), a Czech immigrant, and Paul Arnold Walker, who was from Arkansas. Walker almost single-handedly started the
western craze on TV in the 1950s as Cheyenne Bodie in
Cheyenne (1955). Growing up in the
Depression era meant taking work wherever you could get it, and Walker
found himself working at such jobs as Mississippi River boatman,
carnival roustabout and golf caddy. He quit high school at 16 and at
age 17 joined the Merchant Marine. After the war he worked his way
cross country, including working in the oil fields in Brownwood, Texas,
and wound up in California, where he worked as an undercover agent for
a private detective agency on the Long Beach waterfront. After a while
he took a job as a security officer at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. It
was there that he met quite a few Hollywood people who told him that
his size, physique and good looks would serve him well in Hollywood and
that he should go to Los Angeles and give it a try. He met actor
Henry Wilcoxon, who introduced him to
director Cecil B. DeMille, and Walker
found himself playing the part of a Captain of the Guard in
The Ten Commandments (1956).
Someone from Warner Bros. saw the film, found out that Walker was under
contract to producer Hal B. Wallis, bought
up Walker's contract and gave him the lead in "Cheyenne". The series
was a huge hit and spawned countless other western series, from Warners
and other studios. However, Walker was dissatisfied with the way
Warners was handling his career -- they would let other contract
players make films, for example, but he wasn't allowed to -- and that
triggered a dispute which ended up with him taking a walk from the
show. He and Warners eventually settled their disagreements. When the
show ended Walker began to get supporting parts in features, his
biggest and most successful one being
The Dirty Dozen (1967). He
starred in the well-received
The Night of the Grizzly (1966)
and the not-so-well received
None But the Brave (1965), a
WWII film that was Frank Sinatra's one and
only stab at directing. He also played the lead in
Baker's Hawk (1976), and turned in a
good performance as a villain in the TV movie
Scream of the Wolf (1974).
Lately he and several of his colleagues from "The Dirty Dozen" provided
the voices for the animated film
Small Soldiers (1998).- Actor

Anton Diffring was a character actor who worked continuously in motion pictures due to his aristocratic face and cool, clipped diction, making him ideal for typecasting in British and later American motion pictures as Nazis and other vile, despicable characters. What was ironic about his typecasting as a Nazi is that Diffring, born in Koblenz, Germany, on October 20, 1916, fled Nazi Germany in 1939.
He was the son of Bertha (Diffring) and Solomon/Samuel Pollack, a Jewish shop owner. He was born into a family that boasted generations of actors, and studied drama in Berlin and Vienna. At the outbreak of World War II, he fled Germany and wound up in Canada, where he was interned as an enemy alien for the duration of the war. It was in Canada where he began his acting career after World War II, working primarily there and in the US before moving to Britain in 1950.
He became popular playing Nazis in the postwar period, as the British film industry turned out film after film about the war, which created a great demand for actors who could convincingly play Nazis, the nastier the better. Diffring could play nasty, and his career as a character actor soared. He was still going at it in the 1960s, when he began appearing in American and international co-productions as German soldiers from both WW I and WW II, including The Blue Max (1966), Counterpoint (1967) and that Turner Network Television staple, Where Eagles Dare (1968). He was still going at it in the 1970s and 1980s, as he continued a nearly 40-year-long acting career that was terminated only by his death.
He was a much better actor than most of his roles required. Diffring broadened his range as an actor with stage and television work, but the movies continually beckoned, as casting agents were hooked on him when it came to Nazi roles. It was that face that did it; it was both his blessing and his curse. He had the light hair, the piercing blue eyes and the chiseled face of the haughty aristocrat, the German Junker, but it was a face that could telegraph much in the few seconds that was the average shot of a motion picture. As a character actor, he got much done with less (time).
In François Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 (1966) he was cast in all likelihood as a counterpart to the Austrian actor Oskar Werner, so that Werner's own Teutonicness in the English setting wouldn't be as arch. He excelled as Werner's nemesis, as he could create a mood or signal an entire story line with just a look; dialog didn't matter (he likely would have been a superstar in silent films, when it was "the faces" that mattered).
Diffring tried to break out of those silken villain roles, moving to Rome in 1968, but producers turned to him again and again to fill their needs for a foreign heavy. He appeared as one of the most infamous Nazis of all, Adolf Hitler's hangman Reinhard Heydrich, in Operation Daybreak (1975), and as Hitler's foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop in the American mini-series The Winds of War (1983). It made him a good living and it made him known, even if it did not fulfill his artistic ambitions.
What made his career such a success in terms of its longevity and fecundity was that Diffring was an actor who was enjoyable to watch. From Jack Clayton's I Am a Camera (1955) to Terence Fisher's The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959), from Samuel Fuller's Tote Taube in der Beethovenstraße (1972) to Ken Russell's Valentino (1977), Diffring gave memorable performances, sandwiched in with all the Nazi heavies one career could possibly bear.
Anton Diffring died at his home in Chateauneuf-de-Grasse, France, on May 20, 1989. He was 72 years old.- Actress

When one thinks of Edith Piaf, one thinks of love, sorrow and beautiful music.
One did not breathe without the other two. Born in Paris practically on
the streets on December 19, 1915, she struggled from day one, the
daughter of street performers. The mother, a singer, eventually
abandoned both Edith and her father for a solo career.
Piaf spent her youth entertaining passers-by, receiving little formal education in the
process. She often accompanied her father's acrobat street act with her
singing and at various times was forced to live with various relatives,
in alleys or in cheap hotels. An aborted love affair left her with a
baby girl at age 17, but little Marcelle died of meningitis at 2 years
old. Devastated, Piaf returned to the streets she knew, now performing
solo.
Her fortunes finally changed when an impresario, Louis Leplee,
mesmerized by what he heard, offered the starving but talented urchin a
contract. He alone was responsible for taking her off the streets at
age 20 and changing her name from Edith Gassion to "La Mome Piaf" (or
"Kid Sparrow"). Piaf grew in status entertaining in elegant cafés and
cabarets and became a singing sensation amid the chic French society
with her throbbing vocals and raw, emotional power.
From 1936, Piaf recorded many albums and eventually became one of the highest paid
stars in the world. She was first embroiled in scandal when her mentor,
Leplee, was murdered and she was held for questioning. She managed to
survive the messy affair and carry on while her ever-growing society
circle now began to include such elite members as writer/director
Jean Cocteau. Piaf also took to writing and
composing around this time; one of the over 80 songs she wrote included
her signature standard, "La vie en rose." Although she appeared
sporadically in films, it was live audiences that sustained her.
Piaf later toured the United States to branch out internationally.
America was slow to accept the melodramatic Piaf but she persevered and
eventually won legions of fans. She also continued a series of affairs
with the likes of actor Paul Meurisse,
composer Henri Contet and, most notably, boxing champion Marcel Cerdan.
The latter's death in a 1949 plane crash left Piaf broken and devastated. Many
claim this was the beginning of her downfall.
Piaf had a life-long habit of involving herself heart and soul in the launching of her
lovers' careers. Over the years this would include Yves Montand and Eddie Constantine. Two serious car accidents suffered in 1951 led to a
morphine and alcohol addiction that left Piaf's life skidding out of
control despite a potentially happy marriage in 1952 to actor Jacques Pills. Though slowly crippled by severe arthritis, a series of
spectacular comebacks in concert and recordings would follow over the
years but her health would slowly waste her away.
Piaf's last appearance
was at the Paris Olympia, racked and hunched over with pain and barely
able to stand. Her last recorded song was "L'homme de Berlin" in 1963,
the year of her death. She died in poverty on the same day as her
friend Cocteau and at the age of 47, the same age as her equally
tortured American counterpart,
Judy Garland. Piaf left many debts for her
second husband (and protégé) Theo Sarapo, who was twenty years younger
(he died in 1970, at age 34). Piaf's funeral was massive yet, because
of her lifestyle, was forbidden a Mass. It was the only time since WWII
that Parisian traffic was completely stopped. A museum was dedicated in
her honor. Piaf remains the epitome of the French singer in heart,
soul, style and passion. For many devotees, Piaf IS France.- Actress

Rare indeed to spot a dark-haired Swede on film but the delicately beautiful Maj-Britt Nilsson was certainly one of them, along with Harriet Andersson, who went on to captivate film audiences in the bleak films of Ingmar Bergman.
Born in Stockholm on December 11, 1924, the lovely Nilsson was initially trained at the Royal Dramatic Theater. She began her film career inauspiciously playing a young schoolgirl in Tänk, om jag gifter mig med prästen (1941) [If I Should Marry the Minister] starring Viveca Lindfors. Gaining experience in such films as Alf Sjöberg's Resan bort (1945), she played the title role in the dramatic Maria (1947) and moved swiftly into leading roles. A stage triumph in Jean Genet's "The Maids" in 1948 led to her association with Ingmar Bergman who spotlighted her in three of his finest early works: To Joy (1950) [To Joy], in which she plays wife to an adulterous orchestra player; Summer Interlude (1951) [Summer Interlude], in which she portrays a ballerina recalling a tragic summer romance; and Secrets of Women (1952) [Secrets of Women] as one of four sisters-in-law reflecting on their respective wifedoms while waiting for their husbands to arrive at a summer hideaway. Receiving rave reviews for her work, it was expected that she would become a main staple of Bergman's prestigious company of players. Surprisingly she never made another
film for him. The roles in her later celluloid work went on to pale in comparison.
Nilsson seldom strayed outside her homeland when it came to filming outside the rare occasion of a German/Austrian movie or two. A brief marriage to singer and composer Anders Börje led to a long and fulfilling one with theater director Per Gerhard in 1951. She subsequently left the Royal Dramatic Theater to work alongside him at Stockholm's Vasa Theater. The couple would stay there for the next three decades. One of her stage roles was that of Maggie the Cat in a Swedish-language version of Tennessee Williams's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". She made two brief and minor film comebacks in the 1970s, the second of which, the Swedish-made Bluff Stop (1977), being her last. She retired completely in 1985. Some time during the 1980s the couple took up residence on the French Riviera. Ms. Nilsson died on December 19, 2006 in Cannes, France at age 82.- Lolo Ferrari, born Eve Valois, was famous for having
undergone more plastic surgery than any other porn star. She had her
face lifted, her eyes reshaped, her lips thickened and, most famously,
a series of silicone injections ballooned her breasts out to 71 inches,
and a record-setting (according to the Guinness Book of World Records)
weight of 26 pounds. She was on record as saying that the main reason
she had so much transforming surgery was that her mother had
continually told her, from childhood, that she was ugly, repulsive and
stupid and that no man would ever want her. She proved her mother
wrong, to a degree, as she became one of the hottest porn stars in
Europe, renowned for her willingness to do just about anything with
just about anybody (or just about any number of bodies). In addition to
her fame as a porn star in Europe, she also made numerous appearances
in nightclubs and on late-night TV and even released a single called
"Air Bag Generation". While she hadn't had much exposure in the US,
plans were underway for her entry into that market when she was found
dead on March 5, 2000, by her husband in their French Riviera home. It
was known that she suffered from chronic depression, and her husband
stated that not long before her death she had visited a funeral home
inquiring about arrangements.
An autopsy showed that she had died of an overdose of prescribed
anti-depressant drugs, but further investigation by police scientists
revealed that she died of suffocation. Shortly afterwards her husband
was arrested on charges of failing to prevent her death. A second medical analysis was conducted in 2007,and he was finally cleared of the charges leveled against him. - Director

Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1920, Wolf Rilla was the son of German
actor Walter Rilla. When Nazi leader
Adolf Hitler came to power, the elder
Rilla--who was Jewish--moved his family to London, England.
After completing his education, Wolf went to work for the BBC World
Review in 1942, and in the late 1940s transferred to the network's
newly created television service. He stayed there for a few years, but
his passion was for films, and in 1952 he struck out on his own, making
his debut as a writer/director with
Glad Tidings! (1953). After making
several more independent low-budget features, he hooked up with Group
3, a production company formed by
Michael Balcon,
John Baxter and
John Grierson. His first film for
them was
The End of the Road (1954),
with Finlay Currie. His next film for the
company, Navy Heroes (1955),
about a shell-shocked war veteran, garnered positive critical reviews,
and his later comedy
Bachelor of Hearts (1958) was
a box-office success.
In 1960 Rilla, who by this time was working for MGM's British
operation, directed what would become his best-known film, the tense
and chilling
Village of the Damned (1960),
based on John Wyndham's novel "The
Midwich Cuckoos", a tale of a sinister group of alien children taking
over a small British town. Rilla not only directed the film but, with
Ronald Kinnoch (writing as "George
Barclay") and Stirling Silliphant,
also wrote it. The film was a tremendous success, making more than $1.5
million in the US alone--on an $82,000 budget--and spawned a
less-successful sequel,
Children of the Damned (1964).
Rilla directed his father Walter, along with
George Sanders, in
Cairo (1963), a somewhat anemic remake of
John Huston's classic
The Asphalt Jungle (1961),
with the plot changed to a heist of King Tut's jewels in a Cairo
museum.
Rilla occasionally crossed over to television in the 1950s, and by the
mid-'60s most of his work occurred in that medium. He was also a
lecturer at the International Film School in London, and wrote a very
well-received guide to screenwriting, "A-Z of Movie Making", in 1970.
He was an officer in the British Directors Guild as well as the film
technicians' trade association ACTT. He retired from the film industry
and, with his wife, bought and operated a hotel/restaurant, Le Moulin
de la Camandoule, in Fayence in Provence, France.- Richard was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to a Welsh immigrant mother. His adoptive father was a native of Pittsburgh. He moved to Los Angeles with his family in the 1960s and he graduated from Lennox High School and earned his BA in Theatre Arts from California State University, Dominguez Hills.
He moved his family to Grass Valley, California in 1979 and was active with the Foothill Theatre Company, a regional theatre in Nevada City. He returned to Los Angeles in 1991 to resume his acting career. He did over 70 skits on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992). He still maintains his northern California residence with his wife, Judy and their daughter, Alexis. Richard and Judy also have two sons, Matthew and Justin. - Jacqueline Laurent was born on 6 August 1918 in Brienne-le-Château, Aube, France. She was an actress, known for L'abito nero da sposa (1945), Le Jour Se Leve (1939) and L'homme qui joue avec le feu (1942). She died on 18 December 2009 in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, France.
