Spanish postcard by Ediciones Raker, Barcelona, no. 282. José Campos in Los castigadores/The punishers (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962).
Spanish actor and writer José Campos (1936-2010) was promoted as the Spanish James Dean. He was known for such films as La cripta e l'incubo/Crypt of the Vampire (1964), the historical TV series Diego de Acevedo (1966) and Vivir a mil/Living at a thousand (1976), which he also directed. Despite the high expectations at the start of his career, his films were of very little importance
José Campos was born José Antonio Campos Boloix in 1936 in Granada, Andalucia. He studied acting at the I.I.E.C., and then made his film debut, benefiting from a certain physical resemblance to the then-recently deceased James Dean. He was given one of the most spectacular publicity campaigns in the history of Spanish cinema. For his first film, Llama un tal Esteban (Pedro L. Ramírez, 1959), the publicity read: "José Campos is a true star of today's cinema, who will mark an epoch and define a school of acting in world cinema". However, the professional career of José Campos in no way corresponded to such optimistic perspectives. He developed his film activity mainly in Barcelona in films produced by Ignacio F. Iquino or the brothers Alfonso Balcázar and Jaime Jesús Balcázar. In the early 1960s, he starred in such Spanish light entertainment films as Solteros de verano/Summer bachelors (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962) and Los castigadores/The punishers (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962). He played a juvenile delinquent in Los desamparados/The Homeless (Antonio Santillán, 1962). He co-starred with Rafael Bardem in La alternativa/The alternative (José María Nunes, 1963). For this film, he also wrote the story.
In Italy, José Campos appeared in the horror film La cripta e l'incubo/Crypt of the Vampire (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1964) starring Christopher Lee. Though only superficially faithful to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's famous novella, 'Carmilla', the film was praised for its consistent visual distinction and unity of mood. Ma Cortes at IMDb: "A scary and ghastly film with a lot of thrills, chills, and ominous bloodsuckers. Interesting screenplay full of twists and turns." He appeared in an episode of the popular historical series Diego de Acevedo (Ricardo Blasco, 1966) about Spain during the 19th century. He also appeared in the crime films Yo no soy un asesino/I am not a murderer (José María Zabalza, 1968) and Homicidios en Chicago/Homicides in Chicago (José María Zabalza, 1969). After a long interval, José Campos returned to the screen with Vivir a mil/Living at a thousand (1976), which he both wrote and directed and which starred his son, Juan Carlos Campos. He then acted in the Spanish comedy Visanteta, estáte quieta/Visanteta, be quiet (Vicente Escrivá, 1979) starring Maria Rosaria Omaggio. He only played a supporting part, credited as Josep Campos. He had an even smaller, uncredited part in the sex comedy Consultorio sexológico/Sex Clinic (José Antonio Villalba, 1980). His final film was the thriller El enigma del yate/The enigma of the yacht (Carlos Aured, 1983). José Campos died in 2010 in Madrid, Spain. He was 76. His daughter is Marie Cozannet, who also works in the film industry.

Mazda RX-7
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda from 1978 to 2002.
The original RX-7 featured a 1,146 cc (69.9 cu in) twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout.
The RX-7 replaced the RX-3, with both models sold in Japan as the Mazda Savanna.
The original RX-7 was a sports car with pop-up headlamps. The compact and lightweight Wankel rotary engine is situated slightly behind the front axle, a configuration marketed by Mazda as "front mid-engine". It was offered as a two-seat coupé, with optional "occasional" rear seats in Japan, Australia, the United States, and other parts of the world. The rear seats were initially marketed as a dealer-installed option for the North American markets.
The RX-7 made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list five times. 811,634 RX-7s were produced.
The RX-7 has become notable through pop culture such as The Fast and the Furious series, Initial D, Need for Speed, Wangan Midnight, Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo."

La palabra hogar se usa para designar a un lugar donde un individuo o grupo habita, creando en ellos la sensación de seguridad y calma. En esta sensación se diferencia del concepto de casa, que sencillamente se refiere a la vivienda física. La palabra hogar proviene del lugar donde se encendía el fuego, a cuyo alrededor se reunía la familia para calentarse y alimentarse. Se aplica también a todas aquellas instituciones residenciales que buscan crear un ambiente hogareño, por ejemplo: hogares de retiros, hogares de crianza.
El término hogar tiene una etimología curiosa, derivado del latín «focus» – «hogar» (como lugar en la casa donde se prepara el fuego) que luego viene extendido a referirse a la casa misma o a la familia que habita en ella.

TANQUE-PANZER-BATALLA DE BERLIN-ARTE-PINTURA-EDICIONES-LUZ-INCENDIOS-CALLES-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS-
Editando en nuevas versiones plásticas mis pinturas sobre las escenas de la Batalla de Berlin en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a través de las obras de la Colección de Pintura que pinté, ahora trabajo en nuevas ediciones para encontrar variantes que puedan mostrar el ambiente apocalíptico de estos combates en la calles, un solitario tanque panzer entre los edificios humeantes y las casas destruidas, luz extraña en la noche, los fuegos y las bombas han teñiido de resplandor el paisaje urbano convertido en un mundo irreal. El Arte me permite recrear las situaciones que vivieron los berlineses bajo combates desiguales en la defensa de la ciudad y capital de Alemania.
Editing my paintings of scenes from the Battle of Berlin in World War II into new versions, drawing on the works in my Painting Collection, I am now working on new editions to find variations that can capture the apocalyptic atmosphere of these street battles: a lone Panzer tank amidst smoking buildings and destroyed houses, strange light in the night, fires and bombs tinging the urban landscape with a glow, transforming it into an unreal world. Art allows me to recreate the situations experienced by Berliners during the unequal battles in defense of the city and capital of Germany.

Jeep Grand Cherokee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV produced by the American manufacturer Jeep. While some other SUVs were manufactured with body-on-frame construction, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has always used a unibody chassis.
The Grand Cherokee's origins date back to 1983 when American Motors Corporation (AMC) was designing a successor to the smaller Jeep Cherokee (XJ).
Three outside (non-AMC) designers—Larry Shinoda, Alain Clenet, and Giorgetto Giugiaro—were also under contract with AMC to create and build a clay model of the Cherokee XJ replacement, then known as the "XJC" project.
However, the basic design for the Cherokee's replacement was well under way by AMC's in-house designers and the 1989 Jeep Concept 1 show car foretold the basic design."
(...)
"The Grand Cherokee debuted in grand fashion at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan."
--------------------------------------------------
- First generation (ZJ) (1993–1998)
"The original Grand Cherokee was launched in 1992 as a 1993 model year vehicle in the luxury SUV segment.
The "ZJ" models, manufactured from 1992 to 1999, originally came in three trim levels: base (also known as SE), Laredo, and Limited, subsequent trims were added, included Orvis (95–99), TSI (97–99).
The base model included features such as full instrumentation, cloth interior, and a standard five-speed manual transmission, while gaining the moniker "SE" name for the 1994 model year. Power windows and locks were not standard equipment on the base trim. The minimal price tag differential resulted in low consumer demand, and as a result, the low-line model was eventually discontinued."

"The redesigned WJ 1999 Grand Cherokee shared just 127 parts with its predecessor (mostly fasteners). The European model was coded WG. The spare tire was relocated from the side of the cargo compartment to under the floor. (Like the 1998 ZJ, the rear tailgate glass opened separately.)
The two heavy pushrod V8 engines were replaced by Chrysler's then-new PowerTech. The new V8 engine produced less torque than the old pushrods, but was lighter, offered better fuel economy, and provided similar on road performance figures (the 23-gallon fuel tank was replaced with one of a 20.5-gallon capacity).
The straight-six engine was also updated in 1999. A redesign of the intake manifold added 10 horsepower (7.5 kW)."

Spanish postcard by Ediciones Beascoa SA, Barcelona, no. 75. Image: Disney. John Smith, Pocahontas, Flit and Meeko in Pocahontas (Mike Gabriel, Eric Goldberg, 1995).
Pocahontas (Mike Gabriel, Eric Goldberg, 1995) was the 33rd Disney animated feature film and is loosely based on the life of the Native American woman of the same name. The film tells the romance between the daughter of an Algonquin chief named Pocahontas and Capt. John Smith, an English soldier, who journeyed to the New World, seventeenth-century Virginia, with other settlers to begin fresh lives. Her powerful father, Chief Powhatan, disapproves of their relationship and wants her to marry a native warrior, the tribe's dashing bachelor, Kocoum. Meanwhile, Smith's fellow Englishmen hope to rob the Native Americans of their gold. Can Pocahontas' love for Smith save the day? Pocahontas was released to mixed reactions from reviewers, who praised its animation and music but criticized its story; the film's racial overtones and historical inaccuracy also garnered a mix of condemnation and praise. However, everybody liked Meeko, Pocahontas's pet raccoon with a love of food, especially John Smith's biscuits.
During the famed "Disney Renaissance", a period that started with the release of The Little Mermaid (1989), the studio was creating modern classics with every film they released. Many at Disney had high hopes for Pocahontas (1995) upon its initial release. Then-studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg regarded it even as a more prestigious project than The Lion King (1994), and believed that it had a chance of earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, following in the steps of Beauty and the Beast (1991). The design for the film is sumptuous, with mostly blues and a seamless style that never gets in the way and illustrates the action (and the feminine nature of the film) beautifully. The film was less successful commercially than was hoped. Pocahontas dealt with more adult themes and tones and did not appeal to younger children, as much as the earlier Disney hits had. However, Pocahontas did succeed at the box office, earning $346 million, and it received two Academy Awards for Best Musical or Comedy Score for Alan Menken and Best Original Song for 'Colors of the Wind'.

Otro detalle de una acuarela del que he hecho una nueva edición de la pintura, aquí el Angel de la Paz de Bath, Inglaterra, se nos muestra acompañando a una lampara de luz, quizà sea porque dicen que los Angeles llevan la luz a los seres humanos, los dos elementos, la escultura y la lámpara se acompañan uno al otro, detras, las paredes de piedra de Parade Gardens, me gusta, a veces, editar las pinturas pues salen otros resultados a través del Arte original, son versiones. Obras del artista pintor Ernest Descals pintando los angeles o demonios simbolos de la humanidad.
Another detail from a watercolor I've re-edited: here, the Angel of Peace from Bath, England, is shown accompanying a lamp. Perhaps this is because angels are said to bring light to humankind. The two elements, the sculpture and the lamp, complement each other. Behind them are the stone walls of Parade Gardens. I sometimes like to edit paintings because other results emerge from the original artwork; these are versions. Works by the artist Ernest Descals depicting angels or demons, symbols of humanity.

Spanish postcard in the Estrellas del Cine series by Ediciones Victoria, Barcelona, no. 1282.
Enid Bennett (1893-1969) was an Australian-born silent film actress, mostly active in the American cinema. She peaked in the late 1910s and early 1920s with films such as Robin Hood (1922), starring Douglas Fairbanks, and The Sea Hawk (1924). In the sound era, she played Jackie Coogan's mother in the Oscar-winning film Skippy (1931). She was the wife of director Fred Niblo and after his death of director Sidney Franklin.
Enid Eulalie Bennett was born in 1893 in York in Western Australia. She was the daughter of Nellie Mary Louise (née Walker) and Frank Bennett. She had an older brother, Francis Reginald 'Reg' Bennett, and a younger sister, actress Marjorie Bennett. After an unsuccessful attempt to start his own school, Frank took up the role of headmaster at the newly established Guildford Grammar School in 1896. He died in 1898 when he drowned in a river while suffering from depression. In 1899, Nellie married the new headmaster, Alexander Gillespie. With him, she had a daughter named Catherine and a son named Alexander. Following Gillespie's death in 1903, Nellie supported her five children by working as a school matron. Enid attended Lionel Logue's acting and elocution classes in Perth, and after receiving encouragement from Katherine Gray, a visiting American actress in 1910, she joined a touring company. By 1912, Bennett had joined the Fred Niblo-Josephine Cohan touring company, performing comedies around Australia and understudying for Cohan herself, for which she received consistently positive reviews. Her family had moved to Sydney by this time. In 1917, Reg was killed during the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium while serving with the First Australian Imperial Force. In the early part of 1915, theatre agents J. C. Williamson's decided to make short films of some of their popular plays, to forestall the release of imported American filmed versions. They used Niblo as director, and members of his troupe appeared in Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford (Fred Niblo, 1916) and Officer 666 (Fred Niblo, 1916). Enid Bennett appeared in both. Three reels of Officer 666 survive today in the National Film and Sound Archive. Film historians Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper described it as "a crude production doggedly faithful to the stage." Both films were released in Australia after Bennett left for the United States in June 1915, travelling with Niblo and his wife Cohan.
Enid Bennett's first appearance in the U.S. was on Broadway in Henry Arthur Jones' play 'Cock o' the Walk' at George M. Cohan's Theatre in late 1915 and early 1916. It was a vehicle for popular comedian Otis Skinner and Enid played a supporting part. Film roles of increasing importance followed soon after. One of her early films was The Little Brother (Charles Miller, 1917) for Kay-Bee Pictures. This brought her to the attention of Thomas H. Ince, who signed her up with the Triangle Film Corporation. From 1918 to 1921, she starred in 23 Triangle films, becoming well-established as an actress and attracting great publicity and consistently positive reviews. Following Josephine Cohan's death in 1916, Bennett married Fred Niblo in 1918. Niblo’s first US directing experience was The Marriage Ring (Fred Nibklo, 1918), with Enid in a leading role. He had learned a lot since the days of his Australian film experience. Niblo went on to direct until the early 1930s and the first years of sound film. Enid Bennett was busy. In 1922, she starred in three films, one of which became her most famous role, the female lead of Maid Marian in Robin Hood (Allan Dwan, 1922) with Douglas Fairbanks. Interviewed in the 1960s by Kevin Brownlow, Bennett said, "I had a wonderful time playing Maid Marian. Of course, the part was not too demanding, I just walked through it in a queenly manner. [Fairbanks] was wonderful, inspiring. In 1922, she and Niblo had their first child, a daughter named Loris. A son, Peter, was born later that year, and another daughter, Judith, was born in 1928. Between 1923 and 1928 her career slowed and she appeared in leading roles in fewer films. She starred opposite Ramon Novarro in Niblo's film Red Lily (Fred Niblo, 1924). Another stand-out role was as Lady Rosamund Godolphin in the adventure film The Sea Hawk (Frank Lloyd, 1924) with Milton Sills and Wallace Beery. When the film was released, New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall called it "far and away the best sea story that's yet been done up to that point"
Enid Bennett made a transition to sound, appearing as a decent mother figure in two Jackie Cooper-Robert Coogan films: Skippy (Norman Taurog, 1931), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and its sequel Sooky (Norman Taurog, 1931). She also played a mother in Waterloo Bridge (James Whale, 1931), with Mae Clarke and Douglass Montgomery. Later at the end of the decade, she appeared in Intermezzo (Gregory Ratoff, 1939) with Ingrid Bergman, and in a few minor roles. Her last film was the Marx Brothers comedy The Big Store (Charles Reisner, 1941), in which she had an uncredited bit part as a clerk. Niblo had retired in 1933, and it appears Bennett did also. In later life, her sister Marjorie Bennett explained that, somewhat against her will, she had been encouraged by the family to join Bennett in 1915 to keep her company in the U.S. Enid helped to launch the career of her younger sister as a character actress. By the mid-1920s, their mother Nellie and their other siblings were also living in the U.S. In 1934, her brother Alexander married actress Frances Lee. The wedding was attended by some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo. Niblo and Bennett commissioned architect Wallace Neff to design their house on Angelo Drive, which they named Misty Mountain. It was completed in 1926 and sold by the couple to Jule C. Stein in 1940 after a decline in their fortunes. Fred Niblo died in 1948. In 1963, she married American film director Sidney Franklin. In later life, she resided in Malibu, California and was a sculptor and created pottery. She also worked until her death for the Christian Science Church. She regularly appeared on radio and TV, sometimes credited as Enid Bennett Niblo, hosting short Christian Science programs on healing, including Light of Faith and How Christian Science heals. In 1969, Enid Bennett died of a heart attack at her home in Malibu, California, aged 75. Her ashes were interred next to Fred Niblo’s.

Chevrolet Camaro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car.
It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967.
Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009."

Chevrolet Camaro (first generation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro appeared in Chevrolet dealerships in September 1966, for the 1967 model year on a brand-new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and would be available as a 2-door, 2+2 seat, coupe or convertible with a choice of six-cylinder and V8 powerplants. The first-gen Camaro would last up through the 1969 model year.
The Camaro's standard drivetrain was either a 230 cu in (3.8 L) straight-6 engine rated at 140 hp (104 kW) or a 327 cu in (5.4 L) (307 cu in (5.0 L) in later in 1969) V-8 engine, backed by a Saginaw three-speed manual transmission.
There were 8 (in 67), 10 (in 68), and 12 (in 69) different engines available in 67-69 Camaros. And there were several transmission options. A four-speed manual was optional, replacing the base three-speed. The two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission was a popular option in 1967 and 1968 until the three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350" automatic became available starting in 1969. The larger Turbo 400 three-speed automatic was an option on SS396 cars.
There were a plethora of other options available all three years, including three main packages:
- The RS [Rally Sport] was an appearance package that included hidden headlights, revised taillights with back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS badging, and exterior bright trim. It was available on any model.
- The SS [Super Sport] performance package consisted of a 350 or 396 cu in V8 engine and chassis upgrades for better handling and to deal with the additional power. The SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping, and SS badging.
- The Z/28 performance package was designed (with further modifications) to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am series. It included a solid-lifter 302 V8, 4-speed transmission, power disc brakes, and two wide stripes down the hood and decklid.
Almost all of 1967-1969 Camaros were built in the two U.S. assembly plants: Norwood, Ohio and Van Nuys, California. There were also five non-U.S. Camaro assembly plants in countries that required local assembly and content. These plants were located in the Philippines, Belgium, Switzerland, Venezuela, and Peru."

On 15 July 2017, American character actor Martin Landau (1928-2017) died. In the 1960s, he was popular for his role as the agent and master of disguise Rollin Hand on the TV series Mission: Impossible (1966-1969) and in 1994, he won an Oscar for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. He was 89.
Martin Landau was born in 1928 in Brooklyn, New York. His parents were Majer Joel (Morris) Landau and Selma Buchman. At age 17, Martin was hired by the New York Daily News as a staff cartoonist and illustrator. In his five years on the paper, he served as the illustrator for Billy Rose's Pitching Horseshoes column. He also worked for cartoonist Gus Edson on The Gumps comic strip. Landau's major ambition was to act, and in 1951, he made his stage debut in Detective Story in Peaks Island, Maine. He made his off-Broadway debut that year in First Love. Landau was one of 2000 applicants who auditioned for Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio in 1955 - only he and Steve McQueen were accepted. Landau was a friend of James Dean and McQueen, in a conversation with Landau, mentioned that he knew Dean and had met Landau. When Landau asked where they had met, McQueen informed him he had seen Landau riding into the New York City garage where he worked as a mechanic on the back of Dean's motorcycle. He acted during the mid-1950s in such television anthologies as Omnibus (1955). He began making a name for himself after replacing star Franchot Tone in the 1956 off-Broadway revival of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, a famous production that helped put off-Broadway on the New York theatrical map. In 1957, he made a well-received Broadway debut in the play Middle of the Night. As part of the touring company with star Edward G. Robinson, he made it to the West Coast. He also guest-starred in such popular TV series as Maverick (1959), Sugarfoot (1958) and Rawhide (1959).
Martin Landau made his film debut in the war drama Pork Chop Hill (Lewis Milestone, 1959) with Gregory Peck. He scored in his second film as the heavy in Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller North by Northwest (1959), in which he was shot on top of Mount Rushmore while sadistically stepping on the fingers of Cary Grant, who was holding on for dear life to the cliff face. He also appeared in the blockbuster Cleopatra (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963), the most expensive film ever made up to that time, which nearly scuttled 20th Century-Fox. It engendered one of the great public scandals, the Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton love affair that overshadowed the film itself. Landau's memorable portrayal in the key role of Rufio was highly favoured by the audience and instantly catapulted his popularity. In 1963, Landau played memorable roles on two episodes of the science-fiction anthology series The Outer Limits (1963). He was Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Mr. Spock on Star Trek (1966), but the role went to Leonard Nimoy, who later replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible (1966), the show that really made Landau famous. He originally was not meant to be a regular on the series, which co-starred his wife Barbara Bain, whom he had married in 1957. His character, master impersonator Rollin Hand, was supposed to make occasional, though recurring appearances, on Mission: Impossible (1966), but when the producers had problems with star Steven Hill, Landau was used to take up the slack. Rollin Hand was one of the specialists used by the Impossible Missions Force. Hand was described as a “man of a million faces”. Landau's characterisation was so well-received and so popular with the audience that he was made a regular. Landau received Emmy nominations as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for each of the three seasons he appeared. In 1968, he won the Golden Globe award as Best Male TV Star. Eventually, he quit the series in 1969 after a salary dispute when the new star, Peter Graves, was given a contract that paid him more than Landau, whose own contract stated he would have parity with any other actor on the show who made more than he did. The producers refused to budge and he and Bain, who had become the first actress in the history of television to be awarded three consecutive Emmy Awards (1967-1969) while on the show, left the series, ostensibly to pursue film careers. The move actually held back their careers, and Mission: Impossible went on for another four years with other actors.
Martin Landau appeared in support of Sidney Poitier in They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (Norman Jewison, 1970), the less successful sequel to the Oscar-winning In the Heat of the Night (1967), but it did not generate more work of a similar caliber. He starred in the television movie Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol (George McCowan, 1972), playing a prisoner of war returning to the United States from Vietnam. The following year, he shot a pilot for a proposed show, Savage (1973). Though it was directed by emerging wunderkind Steven Spielberg, NBC did not pick up the show. Needing work, Landau and Bain moved to England to play the leading roles in the syndicated science-fiction series Space: 1999 (1975-1977). In Europe Landau also appeared in the Giallo Una Magnum Special per Tony Saitta/Shadows in an Empty Room (Alberto De Martino, 1976) with Stuart Whitman and John Saxon. Landau's and Bain's careers stalled after Space: 1999 went out of production, and they were reduced to taking parts in the television movie The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island (Peter Baldwin, 1981). It was the nadir of both their careers, and Bain's acting days, and their marriage, soon were over. Landau, one of the most talented character actors in Hollywood, and one not without recognition, had bottomed out career-wise. In 1983, he was stuck in low-budget sci-fi and horror movies like The Being (Jackie Kong, 1983), a role far beneath his talent. His career renaissance got off to a slow start with a recurring role in the NBC sitcom Buffalo Bill (1983), starring Dabney Coleman. On Broadway, he took over the title role in the revival of Dracula and went on the road with the national touring company. He also appeared in Raul Ruiz's Treasure Island (1985), a surrealistic modern-day riff on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel.Finally, his career renaissance began to gather momentum when Francis Ford Coppola cast him in a critical supporting role in his Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), for which Landau was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor. He won his second Golden Globe for the role. The next year, he received his second consecutive Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his superb turn as the adulterous husband in Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). He followed this up by playing famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal in the TNT movie Max and Helen (Philip Saville, 1990). However, the summit of his post-Mission: Impossible career was about to be scaled. He portrayed as the horror actor Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's biopic Ed Wood (1994) and won glowing reviews. Landau’s Lugosi is a tragicomic creation: his wife has left him, he is addicted to morphine and most of Hollywood thinks he is dead. For his performance, Landau won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He finally had been recognized with his profession's ultimate award. His performance, which also won him his third Golden Globe, garnered numerous awards in addition to the Oscar and Golden Globe, including top honors from the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics. Landau continued to play a wide variety of roles. In the United Kingdom he appeared oppsoite Michael Caine in the thriller Shiner (John Irvin, 2000). He turned in a superb performance in a supporting role in The Majestic (Frank Darabont, 2001) opposite Jim Carrey. He received his fourth Emmy nomination in 2004 as Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for Without a Trace (2002). Excellent was also his part as an Auschwitz survivor in Remember (Atom Egoyan, 2015). Chris Wiegand in his obituary in the Guardian: "Landau’s own face was instantly recognisable, with its haunted eyes, wide mouth and furrowed brow; even when he broke into a smile, he could seem to be frowning." Martin Landau and Barbara Bain had two daughters, Susan Landau Finch and Juliet Landau.

Blonde, blue-eyed Swedish actress May Britt (1933) had a brief career as a film star in the 1950s, first in Italy and later in the United States. She retired from the screen after she married Sammy Davis, Jr. in 1960.
Maybritt Wilkens was born in 1933 (some sources mention 1934), in the Stockholm suburb of Lidingö, Sweden. Her father, Hugo Brigg-Wilkens, was a postal inspector; her mother was a housewife. Maybritt was only 18 and working as a photographer's assistant when she was discovered by two Italian filmmakers. Producer Carlo Ponti and director Mario Soldati were in Sweden to cast a young blonde woman for the title role in a new film. They came to the studio where she worked to view photographs of models. After meeting her, they offered her the part instead. May Britt, as she was renamed professionally, immediately moved to Rome. She made her film debut as the leading actress in the adventure film Jolanda la figlia del corsaro nero/Jolanda, the Daughter of the Black Corsair (Mario Soldati, 1952) with Renato Salvatori. In the following years, she worked in a dozen Cinecittà productions, including the 3-D opera adaptation Cavalleria rusticana/Fatal Desire (Carmine Gallone, 1953) with Anthony Quinn, Le infedeli/Unfaithful (Mario Monicelli, Steno, 1953) with Gina Lollobrigida, and La lupa/The She-Wolf (Alberto Lattuada, 1953). She also featured in international productions like the Eddie Constantine vehicle Ça va barder/Give 'em Hell (John Berry, 1955) and the epic Leo Tolstoy adaptation War and Peace (King Vidor, 1956) starring Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer, and Henry Fonda.
In 1957, May Britt relocated to Hollywood after signing with 20th Century Fox. She starred in a few films, including the World War 2 drama The Young Lions (Edward Dmytryk, 1958) with Marlon Brando and the crime drama Murder, Inc. (Burt Balaban, Stuart Rosenberg, 1960) with Peter Falk. She also played the lead role in the remake of The Blue Angel (1959, Edward Dmytryk) co-starring Curd Jürgens. May Britt was first bombarded with adverse criticism for having the ‘audacity’ to step into the footsteps of Marlene Dietrich but her performance as Lola-Lola got pretty good reviews. A reviewer at IMDb even writes: “well made production with fine performances from Jurgens and May Britt, who shines as showgirl Lola Lola. Ms. Britt did a wonderful job recreating the old Dietrich role and in my opinion, was much better.” In 1959, after a brief marriage to actor and future horse-trainer Edwin Gregson (1958-1959), the 19-year old son of a Southern California real estate millionaire, she met Sammy Davis, Jr., the famous black entertainer. They began dating, and, after a brief engagement, were married in 1960. As one of the first interracial couples in Hollywood, Sammy and May were the targets of nasty jokes, vicious slurs, and death threats, but both survived the ordeal thanks to the strong and protective support of industry friends. 20th Century-Fox didn't renew her contract though. The studio refused to say if the action was a result of May Britt's plans to marry Sammy Davis Jr. A rumour or myth, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy told Frank Sinatra to tell Sammy not to marry May until after the 1960 Presidential Election. At that time interracial marriage was forbidden by law in 31 U.S. states, and only in 1967 were those laws abolished by the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior to the wedding, Britt converted to Judaism. She and Davis had one daughter and adopted two sons, and May retired to take care of her children. They divorced in 1968 after Davis reportedly had an affair with dancer Lola Falana. In 1967 May Britt resumed working and did television guest appearances in TV series like Mission: Impossible (1969). May Britt made a long overdue comeback to the screen in the quirky little thriller Haunts (Herb Freed, 1977). Reviewer Cavett Binion of AllMovie calls it “a surprisingly original murder mystery with some well-executed twists” and “This seedy but fun horror film is buoyed by Britt's enjoyably loony performance”. Her last appearance was in an episode of the Sci-Fi TV series Probe (1988), created by veteran television writer Michael I. Wagner and Science-Fiction author Isaac Asimov. May Britt retired and since then she has mainly been involved in painting. In 1993 May Britt married Lennart Ringquist, who was the second husband of Penny Chenery, the owner of the horse Secretariat. Ringquist passed away in 2017.

Ann-Margret (1941) is a Swedish-American actress, singer and dancer, with a career that spans five decades. Her trademarks are her breathless voice, strawberry blonde hair and voluptuous figure which lead to the nickname 'sex kitten'.
Ann-Margaret was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Valsjöbyn, Jämtland County, Sweden, to Anna Regina (Aronsson) and Carl Gustav Olsson, who worked for an electrical company. She came to America at age 6. Ann-Margaret was discovered by George Burns and soon afterward got both a record deal at RCA. In 1961, her single I Just Don't Understand charted in the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, she filmed a screen test at 20th Century Fox and was signed to a seven-year contract. She became a Top 10 Box Office star and teen idol with her roles in Bye Bye Birdie (George Sidney, 1963) and Viva Las Vegas (George Sidney, 1964) with Elvis Presley. As an actress, she is also known for her roles in The Cincinnati Kid (Norman Jewison, 1965) opposite Steve McQueen, Carnal Knowledge (Mike Nichols, 1971) with Jack Nicholson, and Tommy (Ken Russell, 1975), the rock opera film of the British rock band The Who. She has won five Golden Globe Awards and been nominated for two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and six Emmy Awards. A late career highlight for her was Grumpy Old Men (Donals Petrie1993) as the object of desire for Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. In 2010, she won her first Emmy Award for her guest appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2010). She has been married to Roger Smith since 1967.
