- Pretty, demure-looking Janet Margolin was born in New York City in 1943 and educated at the New York High School of Performing Arts. The long-haired brunette was discovered for films by director Frank Perry as she was making great strides as a teen on Broadway. He saw her in the play "Daughter of Silence," for which she earned a Tony nomination, and took her immediately to Hollywood, casting her as the schizophrenic lass in David and Lisa (1962) opposite Keir Dullea. She bowled over the critics. The movie, which was praised for its handling of delicate, mature subject matter, should have paved the way to stardom for Janet but strangely didn't. She churned out uneventful second leads in such notable fare as Bus Riley's Back in Town (1965), The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), and Nevada Smith (1966). Though she had better luck with her ingenue roles in Enter Laughing (1967) and Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run (1969), the offers starting drying up by decade's end and she turned to TV work. Woody used her again, albeit briefly, in Annie Hall (1977). After a brief first marriage, Janet met and married actor Ted Wass of TV's Soap (1977) and Blossom (1990) fame. Janet was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and died at age 50.

- Alejandro Vallejo Najera (also Nagera) was the son of the controversial psychiatrist/advisor to Generalissimo Francisco Franco who proposed a "Red Gene" hypothesis to explain what he saw as a psychological disturbance that attracted some people to communism. Because of his father's stature in the government, his son Alejandro led a privileged bohemian life, being among other things a well-known figure in Marbella and other resort areas on the Costa del Sol in the late 1960s, and helping set the hedonistic tone there. In the spring of 1968 he made his way to the Costa Smeralda of Sardinia where he worked as a bartender in Liscia di Vacca at Peter Kent's Pedro's bar, restaurant, discotheque and boutique. Eventually he made his way through Afghanistan on to Goa where he lived for some time. While there, a Spanish film crew made a documentary about him called "El Ultimo Hippie" ("The Last Hippie"), a 47:34 long not entirely flattering portrait: essentially an interview and narration/commentary conducted entirely in Spanish.
