- A veteran stage and screen actor, Swickard was the brother of actor Charles Swickard. He entered films in 1912 and was playing supporting roles for Mack Sennett by 1914. He remained with Sennett until 1917 when he started numerous aristocratic roles in films. His career in sound films was somewhat limited and he played in low-budget and action serial type films. In 1939, his ex-wife, Broadway actress Margaret Campbell, was brutally murdered by their son. Swickard died a year later from natural causes, not, by jumping from the Hollywood sign as several accounts state.
- Born the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, E.F. Benson was a prolific writer of novels, ghost stories and biographies. Best known for the delightful '"Mapp & Lucia"' tales of two genteel ladies and their battles for social status.

Nyrki Tapiovara (1911-1940) is considered the first film theoretician in Finland.During a repressive period in the 1930s when his country was dominated by the Lapua (Fascist) movement, he was a prominent member of the short lived Projektio film society where aspiring artists could learn about the latest techniques and intellectualize about the medium. Projektio before it was closed by state police in 1936 was coming under the influence of Modernism and the experimental avant garde. Tapiovara's work was socially conscious in content and impressionist in style.If it had not been for his mysterious death fighting with a ski patrol behind Russian lines during the 1940 Winter War, he might have gone on to put Finnish cinema more visibly on the international map. Several of his films which had not previously been shown in the US were exhibited as part of a series, Baby It's Cold Outside, in the spring of 1998 at New York City's prestigious Museum of Modern Art.- Prins Aage was born on 10 June 1887 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
