Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on February 11, 1909, Joseph Leo Mankiewicz first worked for the movies as a translator of intertitles, employed by Paramount in Berlin, the UFA's American distributor at the time (1928). He became a dialoguist, then a screenwriter on numerous Paramount productions in Hollywood, most of them Jack Oakie vehicles. Still in his 20s, he produced first-class MGM films, including The Philadelphia Story (1940). Having left Metro after a dispute with studio chief Louis B. Mayer over Judy Garland, he then worked for Darryl F. Zanuck at 20th Century-Fox, producing The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), when Ernst Lubitsch's illness first brought him to the director's chair for Dragonwyck (1946). Mankiewicz directed 20 films in a 26-year period, successfully attempted every kind of movie from Shakespeare adaptation to western, from urban sociological drama to musical, from epic film with thousands of extras to a two-character picture. A Letter to Three Wives (1949) and All About Eve (1950) brought him wide recognition along with two Academy Awards for each as a writer and a director, seven years after his elder brother Herman J. Mankiewicz won Best Screenplay for Citizen Kane (1941). His more intimate films like The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), The Barefoot Contessa (1954)--his only original screenplay--and The Honey Pot (1967) are major artistic achievements as well, showing Mankiewicz as a witty dialoguist, a master in the use of flashback and a talented actors' director (he favored English actors and had in Rex Harrison a kind of alter-ego on the screen).- Ben Powers was born on 5 July 1950 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA.

- Was the third son of publisher Frederick Warne, and joined his father's firm Frederick Warne & Co as an editor. In 1900, the company rejected Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but eventually reconsidered and in October 1902, published the book to great success. Norman Warne became Potter's editor and they worked together on several subsequent books and spinoffs such as soft toys and The Game of Peter Rabbit. In 1904, Potter and Warne worked closely together to develop a tale about two mice and a doll's house. Potter began spending more time at the firm's offices and took several trips to Warne's home to sketch a doll's house he was constructing for his nieces. In July 1905 Warne proposed. Potter accepted, but on 25 August 1905, before a marriage could take place, Warne died suddenly and unexpectedly of leukemia. Potter remained in touch with Warne's sister Millie for many years, and his brothers Harold and Fruing became her editors. The relationship between Potter and Warne became the basis for the film Miss Potter (2006). In 2012, a decision to erect a plaque at Warne's former home in Bedford Square honouring his memory was turned down by English Heritage, presumably because of the lack of funding on English Heritage's part, as they have the funding to erect only twelve to fifteen plaques a year.

- Gary Hart was an American professional wrestler/manager/booker/promoter from the 1960s to the 1990s. He wrestled primarily around the U.S. with some appearances in Canada and Australia. As a wrestler, he held the NWA American (World Class in Dallas) Tag Team Titles twice, both times with The Spoiler (Don Jardine). He was one of the wrestlers in the infamous February 20, 1975 plane crash that killed wrestler Bobby Shane. Despite suffering several injuries, Hart was able to rescue Austin Idol and Buddy Colt, but failed to save Shane.
His first charge as a manager was The Student (George 'The Animal' Steele). He built a stable called Gary Hart's Army, which included Abdullah the Butcher, Mark Lewin, Robert Roop, Beau James (Jimmy 'Jam' Garvin), The One Man Gang (George Gray), Dusty Rhodes, King Curtis Iaukea, Dory Funk Jr., Dingo Warrior (Jim Hellwig), Giant Baba, Pak Song (Song Pak), Al Perez, Dick Slater, Dick Murdoch, Professor Toru Tanaka, The Great Kabuki (Akihisa Mera) and Kendo Nagasaki (Kazuo Sakurada).
His last major run as a manager was in the NWA/WCW in 1989-1990, as the leader of The J-Tex Corporation, which comprised The Great Muta (Keiji Mutô), Terry Funk, Sawyer, Slater and The Dragon Master (Nagasaki). His last match was Sting (Steve Borden) defeating him at a house show (non-televised event) at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia on October 8, 1989.
He made a surprise return to wrestling at "MLW Reloaded Tour 2004 Night 2", Tabu Nightclub, Orlando, FL, January 10, 2004, sending Homicide (Nelson Erazo) and Low Ki to attack Terry Funk after Funk had lost a barbed-wire match to MLW World Heavyweight Champion Steve Corino. This was meant as Hart's retribution against Funk for having lost the "I Quit" match to NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions IX: New York Knockout (1989). This never led to anything because of MLW closing soon after, and the promotion didn't return until 2017, and Hart passed away in 2008.
Hart's son Chad wrestled for a while in Texas during the 1990s, winning the World Class II Texas Tag Team Title, the TAP Television Title and the EPW Texas Title.
Fellow manager Sir Oliver Humperdink was the best man at Hart's 2005 wedding.
