Axel Esbensen was born on 3 July 1878 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was an art director and production designer, known for Kiss of Death (1916), The Hell Ship (1923) and Sången om den eldröda blomman (1919). He died on 1 January 1923 in Stockholm, Stockholms län, Sweden.- Franz Kafka was born into a German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Austrian Empire, in 1883. His father, Hermann Kafka, was a business owner and a domestic tyrant, frequently abusing his son. Kafka later admitted to his father, "My writing was all about you...". He believed that his father broke his will and caused insecurity and guilt, that affected his whole life. Their tensions come out in "The Trial" and in "The Castle" in form of a hopeless conflict with an overwhelming force. His mother, Julie Lowy, came from an intellectual, spiritual family of the Jewish merchant and brewer Jakob Lowy. Although her influence was diminished by his dominating father, she shared her son's delicate nature. Kafka had a few relationships with women and was engaged, but never made a family.
He finished the German National Gymnasium in 1901, and graduated from the German University in Prague as Doctor of Law in 1906. He worked for insurance companies for the rest of his life. His profession shaped the formal, cold language of his writings which avoided any sentimental interpretations, leaving it to the reader. In 1908 Kafka published eight short stories compiled under the title "Meditation". In 1911 he became interested in Yiddish theater, that absorbed him more than abstract Judaism. In 1912 he began writing "The Judgment", which was more than an autobiography, providing a therapeutical outlet for his wrecked soul. The same year he started "Metamorphosis" about a traveling salesman, who transformed into a giant bug. In 1914 he wrote "In the Penal Colony" and "The Trial", which is regarded to be his best work. His style remains unique, though literary connections may be traced to Edgar Allan Poe, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Nikolay Gogol, as well as to Chinese parables, to the Bible and Talmud.
As a Jew Kafka experienced social tensions and isolation from the German community, so very few of his writings could find readers during his life. His three sisters later died in the Nazi concentration camps. He suffered from clinical depression, social anxiety, insomnia, and tuberculosis, complicated by laryngitis, that caused him the loss of his voice before his death in 1924. He was comforted by his girlfriend Dora Diamant, who had broken away from her Hasidic shtetl in Poland. She was 19 when they met in 1923 and Kafka wrote to her parents, asking for their permission to marry her. Their answer was negative, because Kafka presented himself as a non-religious Jew. He asked Dora to destroy his manuscripts after his death, but she kept about 20 notebooks of his writings and 35 private letters, that were reportedly confiscated by the Gestapo in 1933 and are not yet recovered. His university friend Max Brod became his editor, biographer and literary agent, who preserved and published most of Kafka's works posthumously, including the unfinished novels "The Trial", "The Castle", and "America". - Actor

She had only one brother, Thomas Adie, who was fourteen months older, because a physician advised Mary Perkins that she might die if she bore other children. During Charlotte's infancy, her father moved out and abandoned his wife and children, leaving them in an impoverished state. Gilman was a prominent American feminist, sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.
- Zinaida Reich was born on June 21 (July 3), 1894 in Odessa in the Near Mills, the Russian Empire, in the family of a railway engineer of German origin Nikolai Andreyevich Reich (1862-1942, birth name is August Reich, a native of Silesia) and Anna Ivanovna Viktorova ( 1867-1945). Zinaida's father was a Social Democrat, a member of the RSDLP since 1897, and her daughter adhered to her father's views. In 1907, due to his father's participation in revolutionary events, the family was expelled from Odessa and settled in Bendery, where his father got a job as a locksmith in the railway workshops.

At the end of August 1917, the young arrived in Orel with Alexei Ganin to celebrate a modest wedding, to get acquainted with the parents and relatives of Zinaida. In September, they returned to Petrograd. Returning to Petrograd, the couple lived separately for some time. At the beginning of 1918 Yesenin left Petrograd. In April 1918, Zinaida Yesenina, in anticipation of childbirth, went to Orel to her parents. There, on May 29, 1918, she gave birth to a daughter, who was named Tatyana.

Having left her daughter with her parents in Orel, she returned to her husband, but soon they parted again. February 3, 1920 in the House of Mother and Child in Moscow, she gave birth to a son, Konstantin. The child immediately fell seriously ill, and Zinaida urgently drove him to Kislovodsk. Little Kostya was cured, but Zinaida herself fell ill. The break with Yesenin and her son's illness greatly affected her health. The treatment took place in a clinic for nervous patients. On February 19, 1921, a statement was received by the court of the city of Orel: "I ask you not to refuse at your disposal my divorce from my wife Zinaida Nikolaevna Yesenina-Reich.

- After his father's death in 1877, he grew up in poor conditions in his grandfather's house. From 1895 to 1902 he studied medicine in Marburg, Jena and Göttingen. Sauerbruch's sister and his mother continued the craft business after his grandfather's death and enabled him to receive training. In 1901 he was admitted as a general practitioner. In 1902 he received his doctorate in medicine. Sauerbruch worked in Berlin, Erfurt and Kassel until 1903. From 1903 to 1905 he worked as a volunteer doctor at the Surgical University Clinic in Breslau. Even before his habilitation in medicine in 1905, he presented the pressure difference method he had developed on June 6, 1904 at the 33rd "Congress of the German Society for Surgery" and thus provided the basis for surgery in the chest cavity. Until then, the opening of the thorax caused the lungs to collapse, so that the patient's life was in acute danger due to inadequate breathing.
In 1905, Sauerbruch was appointed senior surgical physician at the Greifswald University Hospital. From 1907 to 1908 he became head of the polyclinic in Marburg. Sauerbruch primarily researched the possibilities and limitations of organ transplantation. Sauerbruch married on January 3, 1908. Five children were born from this marriage. In 1910, Sauerbruch received a professorship at the Zurich University Hospital and was appointed director of the surgical clinic and polyclinic of the Zurich Cantonal Hospital. He also founded a private clinic, which was managed by his wife. During this time, Sauerbruch succeeded in optimizing the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. When the First World War broke out in 1914, Sauerbruch volunteered for military service. He joined this as an advisory surgeon to the XV. Army Corps.
The following year he submitted a request for leave of absence through the University of Zurich, which the German government approved. He then devoted himself to the development of the "Sauerbruch Hand" for war disabled people. It allowed hand movements using muscle strands. From this research he published the first part of his publication "The arbitrarily movable artificial hand" in 1916. In 1918 he was appointed professor at the University of Munich. Here Sauerbruch developed the tipping plastic that is named after him: After removing a thigh bone that has been destroyed by cancer, for example, the healthy lower leg bone is transplanted into the hip joint socket. The lower leg is replaced with a prosthesis. In 1920 and 1925 he published the two-volume work "Surgery of the Chest Organs" and the second part of "The Arbitrarily Movable Artificial Hand".
In 1923 he met Erna Hanfstaengl, with whom he later had a temporary romantic relationship. From 1928 Sauerbruch became professor of surgery at the Berlin Charité and head of the Surgical University Clinic. The doctor, who was Max Liebermann's neighbor in Berlin, was portrayed by Liebermann in the story "The Surgeon". In 1931, Sauerbruch was the first to remove a bulge in the heart wall after a heart attack. After 1933, Sauerbruch rejected National Socialist values, but in 1934 he was appointed State Councilor by Hermann Göring. In addition, he was awarded the NSDAP National Prize in 1937. From 1938 Sauerbruch became editor of the specialist magazine "Neue Deutsche Chirurgie". From 1941 he took part in the so-called "Wednesday Society" and protested against the NSDAP's euthanasia programs.
After the end of the Second World War, he took part in the reconstruction of Berlin's health care system. After the re-establishment of the "Chirurgical Society in Berlin" he was re-elected chairman. Despite age-related impairments in his surgical safety and mental resilience, Sauerbruch continued to operate until old age. On December 3, 1949, he submitted his application for retirement. In 1950 he gave in to the requests of West Berlin private clinics and worked as a surgeon again. In 1951 Sauerbruch published his autobiography entitled "That was my life".

War-era MGM had a lovely, luminous star in the making with Susan Peters. She possessed a creative talent and innate sensitivity that would surely have reigned as a leading Hollywood player for years to come had not a tragic and cruel twist of fate taken everything away from her.
She was born Suzanne Carnahan in Spokane, Washington on July 3, 1921, the eldest of two children. Her father, Robert, a construction engineer, was killed in an automobile accident in 1928, and the remaining family relocated to Los Angeles to live with Susan's grandmother. Attending various schools growing up, she excelled in athletics and studied drama in her senior year at Hollywood High School where she was spotted by a talent scout. Following graduation, she found an agent and enrolled at Max Reinhardt's School of Dramatic Arts. While performing in a showcase, she was spotted by a Warner Bros. casting agent, tested and signed to the studio in 1940.
Making her debut as an extra Susan and God (1940), she saw little progress and eventually became frustrated at the many bit parts thrown her way. Billed by her given name Suzanne Carnahan (known for possessing a zesty stubborn streak, she had refused to use the studio's made-up stage name of Sharon O'Keefe), Susan was barely given a line in many of her early movies. She did test for a lead role in Kings Row (1942) but lost out to Betty Field. Susan's first big break came with the Humphrey Bogart potboiler The Big Shot (1942), where she was fourth-billed and had the second female lead. Dropped by Warners, MGM picked up her contract and adopted a new stage name for her, Susan Peters. In the Marjorie Main vehicle Tish (1942), Susan earned a co-starring part and met actor Richard Quine on the set. Quine played her husband in the film. The couple also appeared together in the film Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant (1942), and married in real life in November of 1943.
Susan won the role of Ronald Colman's sister's teenage stepdaughter (and a potential love interest of the Colman character) in the profoundly moving film Random Harvest (1942) and earned an Academy Award nomination for "Best Supporting Actress" for her efforts. Her potential in that film was quickly discovered and she continued to offer fine work in lesser movies such as the WWII spy tale Assignment in Brittany (1943), the slight comedy Young Ideas (1943) and the romantic war drama Song of Russia (1944), in which she touchingly played Nadya, a young Soviet pianist who falls for Robert Taylor. For these performances, Susan was named "Star of Tomorrow" along with Van Johnson and others.
Then tragedy struck a little more than a year after her wedding day. While on a 1945 New Year's Day duck-hunting trip in the San Diego area with her husband and friends, one of the hunting rifles accidentally discharged when Susan went to retrieve it. The bullet lodged in her spine. Permanently paralyzed from the waist down, MGM paid for her bills but was eventually forced to settle her contract. Susan valiantly forged on with frequent work on radio. In 1946 Susan and Richard happily adopted a son, Timothy Richard, but two years later she divorced Quine -- some say she felt she was too much of a burden.
Appearing with Lana Turner as a demure soldier's wife in Keep Your Powder Dry (1945), which was filmed before but released a year after her accident, Susan made a film "comeback" with The Sign of the Ram (1948), the melodramatic tale of an embittered, manipulative, wheelchair-bound woman who tries to destroy the happiness of all around her, but audiences were not all that receptive. She also turned to the stage with tours of "The Glass Menagerie," in which she played the crippled daughter Laura from a wheelchair (with permission from playwright Tennessee Williams), and "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" opposite Tom Poston, wherein she performed the role of poet and chronic invalid Elizabeth Barrett Browning entirely from a couch.
In March of 1951 she portrayed an Ironside-like lawyer in the TV series Miss Susan (1951) but the show ran for less than one season, folding in December of that year. After this, the increasingly frail actress, who was constantly racked with pain, went into virtual seclusion. Suffering from acute depression and plagued by kidney problems and pneumonia, she finally lost her will to live and died at the age of 31 on October 23, 1952, of kidney failure and starvation, prompted by a developing eating disorder (anorexia nervosa). It was a profoundly sad and most unfortunate end to such a beautiful, courageous spirit and promising talent.- John Vosper was born on 3 July 1894 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He was an actor, known for Red-Haired Alibi (1932), Undercover Man (1942) and Tales of Robin Hood (1951). He died on 6 April 1954 in Hollywood, California, USA.
