London-born Douglas Slocombe has long been regarded as one of the film industry's premiere cinematographers, but he began his career as a photojournalist for Life magazine and the Paris-Match newspaper before World War II. During the war he became a newsreel cameraman, and at war's end he went to work for Ealing Studios as a camera operator, making his debut as a full-fledged cinematographer on Ealing's Dead of Night (1945). Slocombe is credited with giving Ealing's films the unique, realistic look it was famous for. He left Ealing and went freelance, not wanting to be tied down to a single studio, and divided his time between England and America. He won the BAFTA--the British equivalent of the Oscar--three times, for The Servant (1963), The Great Gatsby (1974) and Julia (1977). A favorite of director Steven Spielberg, he was noted for never having used a light meter while shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), an almost indispensable tool for most cinematographers.- Additional Crew

Colorful South Florida professional boxer and adventurer, Carl Starling became a professional prizefighter during the heyday of South Florida boxing, the 1960s. A promising prospect, as a middleweight, he was undefeated from 1963-1965 with a 10-0-1 record. Trained by the internationally famous Angelo Dundee, Starling appeared in both the Ring Boxing Magazine and the Ring Boxing Encylopedia. On the verge of a world ranking, Starling lost an upset decision to Willie Taylor on April 21, 1965 in Miami Beach, Florida. His once-promising career took a sharp-turn and he dropped decisions to Ray Lavarro and Linnus Johnson. He quickly faded from the scene.
Starling reportedly made a brief, unsuccessful comeback in the early 1970s. His name made the news in the Miami area on numerous occasions as he appeared in the Miami Herald Newspaper with an unsuccessful bid for Miami-Dade County City commissioner, as well as surviving a shark attack which resulted in a deep gash to his inner thigh. A certified boat captain and educator in Miami, he recently appeared in a Herald story about the recent rash of shark attacks along the South Florida coastline.- Robin Ardra was born in 1936 in Farnham, Surrey, England, UK.
