A former railroad clerk, Tucker made a name for himself in 1913 with a film entitled Traffic in Souls (1913), a six-reel expose of white slavery. Tucker and Carl Laemmle financed the sum of $57,000 to make the film in New York, the film ultimately grossed $450,000. The success of the film enabled Laemmle, under pressure from Thomas Edison's Patent Trust, to follow the exodus to Hollywood and create his own studio, Universal City. Tucker was married to actress Elisabeth Risdon.- Dutch novelist Louis Couperus was born in The Hague in 1863. His father was an official in the Dutch government, and when Louis was ten years old his father was appointed to a position in Java, Indonesia (then a Dutch colony known as the Dutch East Indies), and the family moved there. They were there for five years when his father suddenly died, and the family returned to Holland. He graduated from the University of Holland at The Hague, and was hired there as a teacher.
He published his first novel, "Elina Veere", in 1889 and was critically acclaimed by the Dutch "realist" school of literature. The book's success enabled him to leave teaching and devote his full time to writing. He returned often to Java for inspiration and used the location as a background in much of his work. He married in 1891 and he and his wife moved to Italy from Holland after his mother died. In 1921 he returned to the Dutch East Indies as a correspondent for the "Haagsche Post" newspaper.
His work resulted in his becoming one of the most famous writers in Holland. One reviewer called him "unquestionably a major novelist of the world, hidden away in the Dutch language". He was awarded the Order of Orange Nassau in 1896 and the prestigious Order of the Netherlands Lion in 1923; as part of that award, he was given a house in the country. Ironically, shortly after he moved into that house he received either an insect bite or a scratch; he contracted blood poisoning, and died from it on July 16, 1923. - Meyer van Beem was born on 10 June 1838 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.

She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1903 and worked as a teacher in the Los Angeles School District.
Closely associated with socialist and author Upton Sinclair and his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, Yarnell often spoke at socialist meetings and conventions. She wrote for several leftist publications, most notably the Los Angeles-based The Western Comrade, The New Justice and The Los Angeles Citizen. She also had her poems published in The New Justice.
She appeared in one film, the pro-labor, socialist-themed "From Dawn to Dusk" (1913).

During the Second World War, Second Lieutenant Robert Meltzer served with Company A, 2nd Ranger Battalion. An ardent anti-Nazi, an earlier attempt to join the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and fight in the Spanish Civil war had been foiled by his family.
Recently assigned as 1st platoon leader of Abel Company, Meltzer was killed by enemy machine gun fire on 21 August, 1944, in or near Le Folgoët, France, as he was leading his men through an opening in a hedgerow in an attempt to take charge of some German soldiers who had supposedly surrendered. His remains were later interned at the Brittany American Cemetery in St James, France (Plot I Row 5 Grave 12).
Robert Meltzer was the second youngest of six children born to Russian Jewish immigrants, Joseph and Ida Alderman Meltzer of Oakland, California. Joseph Meltzer worked as a superintendent at a local insurance company office and would go on to be a Bay area business leader and active in political and social circles until his death in 1930. The Leonard J. Meltzer Boys & Girls Club in Oakland is named after his oldest son, a former county deputy district attorney who died in 1947.
On 9 December, 1924, the Oakland Tribune ran a photograph of Robert Meltzer rehearsing with Piedmont Boy's Pioneer troupe for their annual play "Who Knows".
In 1935, during the depths of the Great Depression, Meltzer caused a controversy among many state and school leaders when, as editor of the Pelican, the University of California at Berkeley student humor magazine, he published five pages of "Communist Art".
Before the war, Meltzer had worked as an uncredited writer on The Great Dictator (1940) and had written for director/writer Orson Welles.
The Writers Guild of America (West), states that "the Robert Meltzer Award honors one act of bravery by remembering another, recognizing an artist's singular act of courage in defense of freedom of expression and the rights of writers everywhere".- Actress

Jess Lee Brooks a.k.a Jesse Brooks was an exceptional actor. He appeared in many of the top Black Cinema movies of the time, always playing the role of the caring policemen trying to warn the gangsters before it's too late, a father who would die for his kids. Whatever he played he was always a guardian angel over ones he cared for, the only time he would do wrong was if you wronged him or a loved one. Movie audiences felt as though they knew him when seeing him off-screen because on-screen his natural, love, kind word for all and protective persona reminded them of their father. Even in Hollywood films, he often outshone many of the white leading stars with his strong presence like in Sullivan's Travels where he gave an emotional performance that no one will ever forget after seeing it. Brooks died in 1944 and got respectful obituaries written about him. He was a man who wasn't afraid of being emotional or loving but was the definition of a man.- Actor

After working as early as the 1910s as a band vocalist, Hattie McDaniel debuted as a maid in The Golden West (1932). Her maid-mammy characters became steadily more assertive, showing up first in Judge Priest (1934) and becoming pronounced in Alice Adams (1935). In this one, directed by George Stevens and aided and abetted by star Katharine Hepburn, she makes it clear she has little use for her employers' pretentious status seeking. By The Mad Miss Manton (1938) she actually tells off her socialite employer Barbara Stanwyck and her snooty friends. This path extends into the greatest role of her career, Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939). Here she is, in a number of ways, superior to most of the white folk surrounding her. From that point her roles unfortunately descended, with her characters becoming more and more menial. She played on the "Amos and Andy" and Eddie Cantor radio shows in the 1930s and 1940s; the title in her own radio show "Beulah" (1947-51), and the same part on TV (Beulah (1950)).
