Writer, dialogue writer and songwriter of Indian cinema. Born in Pallam, India, in 1913, to prominent poet Karimalil Kesava Pillai.

At one point, he was asked to write some songs for a traveling theatre company and then first realized the commercial potential of work as a songwriter. He wrote songs for several successful theatre troupes and also wrote numerous plays (though few if any were produced). He began his film career in 1947, composing songs for a Malay language film, Vellinakshatram. He found a close friend and partner in V.

- Aimé Césaire was born in Basse-Pointe, Martinique. His father, Fernand Elphège, managed a sugar estate, though he was educated as a teacher. His mother, Eléonore, was a seamstress. In order to gain access to better education, his family moved to Martinique's capital, Fort-de-France, where Aimé attended the Lycée Schoelcher. He excelled as a student and was granted a scholarship at age 18 to study in Paris at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, where he met Léopold Senghor. Along with Léon Damas, Césaire's classmate from the Lycée Schoelcher, Césaire and Senghor founded the student publication L'Etudiant noir, a literary review that focused on black literature from Africa and the West Indies. This publication laid the foundation for the "negritude" movement. Césaire began writing his poem "Cahier d'un retour au pays natal" in 1936, and it was first published in 1939.
In 1937, Césaire married his classmate Suzanne Roussi, with whom he ultimately had four sons and two daughters. The two moved back to Martinique with their first son in 1939, and both took jobs teaching at the Lycée Schoelcher. During this time, Césaire was sent to Haiti as a cultural ambassador, and there he lectured on French poetry. He and his wife founded the literary review Tropiques in 1941, which dealt with Martinican identity. Around this time he also became close friends with French surrealist André Breton, who encouraged Césaire to incorporate surrealism into his writing and political spheres. A member of the communist party, Césaire was elected mayor of Fort-de-France and deputy in the French National Assembly in 1945. He helped to draft the 1946 law that began departmentalization of former French colonies. Césaire maintained his position in the communist party until 1956, when the Soviet Union's suppression of the Hungarian revolution led to his leaving the party. In 1958 he founded the Parti Progressiste Matriniquais, or Martinican Progressive Party. He ultimately retired from French politics in 1993, though he remained mayor of Fort-de-France until 2001 (he had held the position since 1945, minus a short period from 1983-1984). Césaire died on April 18, 2008 at the age of 94.
In trying to conceptualize the impact Césaire had on the country and people of Martinique, perhaps it is easiest simply to look at the number of attendees of his funeral procession in Martinique, united in both mourning Aimé's passing and in celebrating his achievements. A short video of a section of the procession can be found by clicking the link below. - Akiko Shiraishi was born on 24 October 1913 in Akita, Japan.

He died on 1 May 1994 in Harper, Kansas, USA.- Mafia hitman Aladena "Jimmy the Weasel" Fratianno was born in a small town near Naples, Italy, in 1913. When he was a young boy his family emigrated to the US and settled in the "Little Italy" section of Cleveland, OH. He found school boring and, after gaining a reputation as a troublemaker and getting into one too many scrapes with school officials, was expelled. He started his criminal career by stealing produce from fruit stands and, when the police showed up, running away "like a weasel", as his friends called it. That earned him the nickname of "Jimmy the Weasel".
As a teenager he went to work for a local gambler and learned the ins and outs of that profession. He soon graduated from running gambling games to robbing games run by other gamblers, but he had a bit more to learn about that--in 1937 he was caught by the police, and wound up with an eight-year stretch in prison for robbery. While he was there his wife Jewel divorced him. Upon his release from prison in 1945 Fratianno left Cleveland and headed west to Los Angeles, to rejoin his ex-wife Jewel and remarry her.
After establishing himself in L.A., Fratianno set up a bookmaking operation with mobsters Frank Bompensiero (aka "Bomp") and Giolamo Adamo, who were part of the Jack Dragna crime family. He rose quickly through the ranks and in 1947 became a "made" member of that family. It was then that he realized the kind of power and influence gangsters had--he once recalled, "You can go into various businesses and people will deal with you because of what you represent. See, you've got all this power. Nobody fucks with you. We can get things done nobody else can". He decided that this was the life for him.
However, he was more than just a mob bookmaker--he was also a mob killer. By his own admission he was involved in the murders of 11 men, five of whom he himself helped kill (one of them being an associate of infamous L.A. gangster Mickey Cohen named Frankie Niccoli, who he killed on Dragna's orders). In 1954 Fratianno was arrested by Los Angeles police for extortion. Tried and convicted, he spent the next six years in prison. When he was released he knew that his former boss Dragna had died and that the organization was now run by a mobster (and USC-educated attorney) named Frank DeSimone. Unhappy with DeSimone's leadership, Fratianno and his buddy Bompensiero left the L.A. family and transferred to the Chicago outfit, and with help from his long-time gangster friend Johnny Roselli was accepted as a member of the Chicago family in the 1960s, although he remained living in the Los Angeles area.
In the mid-'60s Fratianno and his wife started a trucking company--a legitimate one--and it soon became a success, grossing almost $1.5 million per year. However, in 1966 a newspaper in El Centro (CA) learned Fratianno was working there and not paying all of his employees' workers compensation and other benefits. After doing an investigation, the paper published an in-depth story about Fratianno's company, revealing his past mob associations. He was arrested and tried on a variety of charges relating to the setting up and running of the company. He was eventually acquitted, but he and his wife Jewel--who was his partner in the company--lost the business.
On August 4, 1967, Frank DeSimone suddenly died of a heart attack. The next L.A. mob boss elected was Nick Licata. Jimmy never liked Licata, either, but after being boss for six years, Licata died on October 19, 1974. Dominic Brooklier (also known as Jimmy Regace) then took over as mob boss. The L.A. organization was soon back "in the black". Brooklier himself, however, was targeted by state and local authorities and eventually arrested on a variety of charges, tried and imprisoned. Fratianno returned to the L.A. family from the Chicago outfit to help Louis Tom Dragna run the family (Dragna took over as boss with Fratianno assisting temporarily while Brooklier was in prison). In 1976, at the urging of his longtime friend, capo Frank Bompensiero, Fratianno decided to get the L.A. mob involved in the burgeoning pornographic film industry in L.A., and he became involved with shaking down a porn production/distribution company called Forex. However, Fratianno came to learn that Forex was actually an FBI sting, a front set up to ensnare L.A. mobsters trying to shake down pornographers. He also realized that Bompensiero, who had gotten them involved in Forex in the first place, was an FBI informant. After consulting with the imprisoned Brooklier, L.A. mob associates decided that Bompensiero had to go. On Feb. 10, 1977, mob associate Thomas Ricciardi shot and killed "Bomp" near an AM/PM gas station in San Diego. Jack LoCiero drove the getaway car.
Bomp's murder, however, did not end Fratianno's problems. He soon discovered that there was a contract out on his life. He decided the best way for him to stay alive was to trade his knowledge of the inner workings of the mob for protection from the government and began negotiations with the FBI, eventually entering the US Marshals Service Witness Protection Program. He became a government witness and ended up testifying in trials of such major mob figures as Funzie Tieri, Tony Salerno, Mike Rizzitello, Joseph Aiuppa, Carmine Persico and Fratianno's former mob boss Dominic Brooklier.
Fratianno also authored a best-selling book with Ovid Demaris, called "The Last Mafioso". He later wrote a second book with author Michael Zuckerman, titling it "Vengeance Is Mine". In 1991, after the second book, the Marshals Service decided to drop him from witness protection, even though the FBI protested vigorously (earlier, as part of his agreement with the feds, Fratianno served a few years in jail, and in 1981 he and his wife Jean entered the Witness Protection Program). However, the Marshals Service decided that it wasn't "a retirement plan for former mobsters", and that they no longer needed Fratianno as a witness.
Jimmy Fratianno died peacefully, in his sleep, in 1993 of Alzheimer's disease in Oklahoma. He was 79. - Alan Baldwin was born on 23 December 1913.

Alan Walbridge Ladd was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the only child of Ina Raleigh (aka Selina Rowley) and Alan Harwood Ladd, a freelance accountant. His mother was English, from County Durham. His father died when he was four. At age five, he burned his apartment playing with matches, and his mother moved them to Oklahoma City. He was malnourished, undersized and nicknamed Tiny. His mother married a house painter who moved them to California--a la "The Grapes of Wrath"--when he was eight. He picked fruit, delivered papers, and swept stores. In high school he discovered track and swimming. By 1931 he was training for the 1932 Olympics, but an injury put an end to those plans. He opened a hamburger stand called Tiny's Patio, and later worked as a grip at Warner Brothers Pictures. He married his friend Midge in 1936, but couldn't afford her, so they lived apart. In 1937, they shared a friend's apartment. They had a son, Alan Ladd Jr., and his destitute alcoholic mother moved in with them, her agonizing suicide from ant poison witnessed a few months later by her son. His size and coloring here regarded as not right for movies, so he worked hard at radio, where talent scout and former actress Sue Carol discovered him early in 1939. After a string of bit parts in "B" pictures--and an unbilled part in Orson Welles' classic Citizen Kane (1941)--he tested for This Gun for Hire (1942) late in 1941. His fourth-billed role as psychotic killer Raven made him a star. He was drafted in January 1943 and discharged in November with an ulcer and double hernia. Throughout the 1940s his tough-guy roles packed audiences into theaters and he was one of the very few males whose cover photos sold movie magazines. In the 1950s he was performing in lucrative but unrewarding films (an exception being what many regard as his greatest role, Shane (1953)). By the end of the 1950s liquor and a string of so-so films had taken their toll. In November 1962 he was found unconscious lying in a pool of blood with a bullet wound near his heart, a probable suicide attempt. In January 1964 he was found dead, apparently due to an accidental combination of alcohol and sedatives.- Alastair Hunter was born on 20 March 1913 in Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, Scotland, UK.

Albert Camus was born on November 7, 1913, in Mondovi, Algeria. His parents were Spanish-French-Algerian (pied noir) colonists. His father, Lucien, died in the Battle of Marne (1914) during WWI. His mother, named Catherine Helene Sintes was of Spanish origin, she was a deaf mute due to a stroke, but she was able to read lips and worked as a cleaning lady, providing for her son, who loved her to tears.
Camus studied at Algiers Lycee from 1923-32, then at the University of Algiers, from where he graduated in 1936 with a degree in philosophy. While a student he joined the French Communist Party in 1934, but in 1936 he joined the 'Le Parti du Peuple Algerien' and was denounced by communists as 'Trotskyite'. He was seriously influenced by the writings of 'Andre Malraux', 'Andre Gide' and Plotinus' theory of the "One", which became Camus' graduation thesis (1936).
He was rejected from the French army because of tuberculosis, which he contracted in the 1930's. His first marriage to Simone Hie, a morphine addict, ended due to infidelity from both of them. In 1940 Camus married a pianist and mathematician Francine Faure, whom he loved and patiently tolerated her affair with the actress María Casares. Camus and Francine Faure had twins born in 1945.
During the Second World War Camus was a writer for 'Paris-Soir' magazine. He was in Paris during the Wermacht occupation, and witnessed the execution of the French communist and anti-fascist activist Gabriel Peri by firearm, which turned Camus' mind against Nazi Germany. He moved to Bordeaux, where he finished his early works, 'The Stranger' and 'The Myth of Sisyphus', which opens with his famous statement about the philosophical question of suicide, and deals with the absurdity of existence in the meaningless struggle.
Camus joined the French Resistance cell 'Combat' and edited the eponymous paper under the pseudonym 'Beauchard'. He reported on the fighting when Allies liberated Paris in 1944. Camus continued his work for 'Combat' until 1947, and through this work he became acquainted with Jean-Paul Sartre. For a couple of years Camus was a member of Sartre's circle at the Cafe de Flore on the Boulevard St. Germain, but Camus' criticism of communist doctrine soon alienated Sartre. He highly regarded Franz Kafka and William Faulkner, whose 'Requiem for a Nun' he adopted into a play.
Camus' lectures about French existentialism brought him on a 3-month tour of the United States and Canada in 1946, where he spoke at several universities. He lectured for 3 months in Brazil, Argentina and Chile in 1949, where he became sick and almost suicidal. The return of his tuberculosis forced Camus into seclusion from 1949-1951. It was during those 2 years that he crystallized his analysis of rebels and revolutions and published 'The Rebel'. The book clearly formulates his rejection of communism as well as any violent activity under various Utopian masks of 'social justice'.
Albert Camus' desire for clarity and meaning in the world that offers nothing, but chaos, resulted in his work on the idea of absurdism. It was incorporated in many of his works from 'The Myth of Sisyphus' (1942), 'The Plaque' (1947), 'The Rebel' (1951), and other works. Camus' ideas resulted from his philosophic analysis of the diverse list of sources from 'Epicurus' to Fyodor Dostoevsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, and 'Andre Breton', as well as his own experiences in the war and his studies.
His greatest work 'The Fall' (1956) presents the monologues of a self-proclaimed 'judge penitent' Clamence, whose character alludes to Zarathustra from Friedrich Nietzsche and Grand Inquisitor from the 'Karamasov Brothers' of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Camus challenges the reader with the dilemma of accepting the absurdity of our existence and/or learning how to deal with it as well as with the unpredictable consequences from doing something about it.
Camus was the proponent of the idea of human rights. He resigned from UNESCO in 1952 in protest of the UN acceptance of Spain under 'Edgar Franco 'El General''. He protested against the Soviet crush upon the East Berlin workers in 1953, and against the Soviet repressions in Hungary in 1956. He was a steady supporter of pacifism and was in opposition to capital punishment. In 1957 Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He was killed in a car accident on January 4, 1960, in the small town of Villeblevin, France, in the car driven by his publisher and close friend Michel Gallimard, who also died in the accident.- Albert Cossery was born on 3 November 1913 in Cairo, Egypt. He was a writer, known for Oi tembelides tis eforis koiladas (1978), The Marriage Came Tumbling Down (1968) and Mendiants et Orgueilleux (1972). He was married to Monique Chaumette. He died on 22 June 2008 in Paris, France.
