- Grandson and namesake of Grover Cleveland's second Vice President, Adlai Ewing Stevenson was born in Los Angeles and raised in Bloomington, Illinois. Following a childhood marred by his accidental fatal shooting of an acquaintance in 1912, he attended the Choate School, served briefly as an apprentice seaman in the U.S. Navy and graduated from Princeton University in 1922. After failing law courses at Harvard he graduated from Northwestern University Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1926. During the 1930s Stevenson became active in Illinois Democratic Party affairs and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, and worked as a government lawyer during the early years of the New Deal. In 1940-41 he chaired the Chicago branch of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. As principal attorney to the Secretary of the Navy he went on World War II survey missions to the Caribbean, South Pacific and Italy; in 1945 he served as adviser to the U.S. delegation to the opening session of the UN. He returned to Illinois in 1947 with ambitions of running for the U.S. Senate the following year, but was instead chosen by leaders of the powerful Cook County Democratic machine as their candidate for governor. After a landslide victory over incumbent Gov. Dwight H. Green, Stevenson compiled a moderately progressive record in office while undergoing the private agony of the breakup of his 20-year marriage. As a fresh face with few enemies in the national Democratic Party, he was nominated for President in 1952 and campaigned with an eloquence, wit, urbanity and grace that captivated many, including Hollywood luminaries as Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Mercedes McCambridge and Dore Schary. Although defeated by Dwight D. Eisenhower in both 1952 and 1956, Stevenson remained in the public eye through speeches, books and articles as titular leader of the Democratic Party and keeper of the liberal flame during the Eisenhower years. His refusal to rule himself out of the running for a third nomination in 1960 permanently damaged his relationship with John F. Kennedy. Following JFK's election, Stevenson hoped to be appointed Secretary of State, but instead had to swallow his disappointment and accept the post of Ambassador to the UN, where he is perhaps best remembered for arraigning the Soviet UN envoy, Valerian Zorin, in the "court of world opinion" during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Exhausted by the stress of his job and feeling increasingly cut off from the center of foreign policy decision-making, Stevenson suffered a fatal heart attack on a street near the U.S. Embassy in London.

Born in La Spezia, Adriano Rimoldi moved to Florence in the 1930s in order to study medicine. As he grew passionate about theatre, he participated in some student spectacles organized by the GUF-Teatro sperimentale and won a radio contest as announcer and newsreader. His first role was that of a radio man in the white telephone comedy Mille lire al mese (Max Neufeld 1939) which starred Alida Valli and which dealt with the new medium of television. Rimoldi's role as protagonist in Addio giovinezza! (1940) by Ferdinando Maria Poggioli, catapulted Rimoldi to stardom. In the film Rimoldi must choose between a simple seamstress (Maria Denis) and a femme fatale (Clara Calamai). In Tosca (1940/41), started by Jean Renoir but finished by Carl Koch, Rimoldi plays the rebel Angelotti, who manages to flee from Scarpia's prison but later on is betrayed by Tosca. He mostly worked with director Corrado D'Errico (Miseria e nobiltà, 1940; La compagnia della Teppa, 1941; Capitan Tempesta, 1942; Il leone di Damasco, 1942) but also with Mario Soldati (Tragica notte, 1942), Dino Falconi (Don Giovanni, 1942), and Christian Jacque (Carmen, 1942; released 1945). It was with Vittorio De Sica's I bambini ci guardano /Children Are Watching Us (1943), that he managed to obtain a substantial lead in a modern, realist drama, as the lover of Isa Pola, wrecking her marriage and family life.
During the time of the German Occupation, Rimoldi worked in Spain, and became a star of in the Spanish cinema. He played leads in films such as Dora la espía (Raffaele Matarazzo 1943) which co-starred the diva of the silent era Francesca Bertini, followed by a dozen films by Ignacio F. Iquino, often paired with Spanish actress María Martín. Rimoldi returned to Italy in the late 1940s in La mano della morta (Carlo Campogalliani 1949) with María Martín, Sigillo rosso (Flavio Calzavara 1950) with Gino Cervi and Carla del Poggio, Capitan Demonio (Carlo Borghesio 1950), again with Martín in the Giovanni Guareschi adaptation Gente cosí (Fernando Cerchio 1950) with Vivi Gioi and Camillo Pillotto, and Ultimo perdono (Renato Polselli 1952) with Franca Marzi. In 1952 Rimoldi returned to theatrical comedy with Gran baldoria by Garinei and Giovannini, and with Isa Miranda in 1955 in Valentino Bompiani's Albertina, directed by Italo Alfaro. In 1954 Rimoldi acted in the new medium of television in three television plays; he also managed to establish himself there with the operetta Wunderbar, directed by Daniele D'Anza. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s Rimoldi played again in several Spanish films and had a recurring role as the cook in the Spanish TV series Cocina (1957-1958). On the big screen, Rimoldi played Melchior in King of Kings (Nicholas Ray 1961) and in 1963 on tv in the drama Nocturne in New York by Clifford Odets. In 1965 Rimoldi enacted his final film role in the Spanish comedy Zarabanda Bing Bing (José María Forqué 1966) starring Jacques Sernas; the same year he died in Rome; Adriano Rimoldi is the maternal grandfather of film director Matteo Garrone.- Agadadas Qurbanov was born on 8 March 1911 in Baku, Baku Governorate, Russian Empire [now Azerbaijan].

Alan Freed was an American disc jockey, music writer, and early promoter of rock and roll. He initially gained notoriety in the late 1940's while working for radio stations in Ohio, eventually leading to work in New York City. He was instrumental in bringing African-American artists directly to White audiences (instead of playing White acts covering Black artists' music), and popularizing rock and roll as a phrase and as a genre. Throughout the late 1950's he also appeared as himself in "jukebox musical" films, which showcased a series of popular groups and singers, and as a presenter on TV. His career became embroiled in scandals by the early 1960's due to his acceptance of "payola" payments from record companies to play certain songs (essentially bribes; the practice was frowned upon and eventually outlawed in 1960), taking credit for co-writing songs that he did not write (and thereby receiving royalties when he and others played them on air), tax evasion, and alcoholism. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, 21 years after his death.- Sound Department

Albert Schweitzer was born on January 14, 1875, in Kaysersberg, near Strasbourg, Elsass-Lothringen, Germany (now in Alsace, France). His father and both grandfathers were pastors and organists. His family had been devoted to education, religion and music for generations.
Schweitzer took music lessons from his grandfather, a church organist. He spoke German and French in his bilingual Alsace family, and later added English to his studies. From 1893-1899 he studied philosophy and theology at the University of Strasbourg, University of Berlin and the Sorbonne. In 1899 he completed a doctorate dissertation on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. From 1905-1912 he studied medicine in Strasbourg and Paris, and received his MD degree in tropical medicine and surgery in 1912.
From the age of 9 Schweitzer started regular performances of organ music in his father's church and continued his organ recitals until the age of 89. In 1905 he wrote a biography of Johann Sebastian Bach, in French, then he rewrote and updated the Bach book--in German--in 1908, the version considered definitive. Schweitzer also published a book on organ building and playing in 1906. He was involved in the restoration of many valuable historic organs worldwide, including construction of the organ at his hospital in Lambarene, where he played music for his patients. He was described as the doctor who returns health to ill people and music to old organs. Albert Schweitzer made notable organ recordings of Bach's music in the 1940s and 1950s. Schweitzer based his interpretation on his profound knowledge of personality, education, religious and social life of Bach.
In 1905 he began his medical studies at the University of Strasbourg, because he decided to go to Africa as a medical doctor rather than a pastor. His medical knowledge was in urgent need during an epidemic of sleeping sickness there. In 1913 he obtained his MD degree, but was turned down by the Paris Missionary Society because his very liberal views of Christ's teachings did not conform to the Society's orthodox beliefs. Schweitzer and his wife went to Lambarene, French Equatorial Africa (now Gabon), and started a hospital in a tent, gradually adding rooms for special cases of sleeping sickness, leprosy, paediatrics and surgery. After his release from French internment Schweitzer practiced medicine in Strasbourg from 1918-1923. In 1924 he returned to his hospital in Lambarene, which was to be restored after years of decay during his absence. There his medical practice included paediatrics, infectious diseases and epidemiology, as well as surgery and traumatology. His versatility in medicine helped to save many thousands of lives. Schweitzer donated his royalties from public performances and book publications to the hospital, which expanded to 500 beds by the 1950s. "Everyone must have his 'Lambarene'", said Schweitzer.
Schweitzer gained great reputation for writing "The Quest of the Historical Jesus" (1906). He was acclaimed for his two concise books on in 1905-1908. In 1917 Schweitzer and his wife were arrested by the French administration in Africa for being Germans, and sent to a French internment camp at the St. Remy mental institution. There Schweitzer was kept at the same room where Vincent Van Gogh lived before his suicide. The Schweitzers were prisoners of war until the end of the First World War in 1918. After his release Schweitzer gave a major speech about his "Reverence for Life" (1920). He spent six years in Europe and published "The Decay and the Restoration of Civilization" (1923) and "Civilization and Ethics" (1923), which he drafted during his captivity in St. Remy.
Schweitzer saved lives by his medical work, by writing and teaching and by advocating for peace and nuclear control. He admittedly followed the similar line as that of the Russian humanitarian and writer Lev Tolstoy. As the founder of a free public hospital, a writer and humanitarian, Schweitzer became the leading proponent of accessible medicine for all. He was also involved in the foundation of the Goethe Institute. From 1952 until his death Schweitzer worked against nuclear weapons together with Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell. On December 10, 1953, Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He donated his prize money to build a leprosy clinic in Lambarene. In 1957 Schweitzer co-founded The Committee for a sane Nuclear Policy.
As it was told, many girls adored Schweitzer, but Helene Bresslau offered him thoughtful partnership and practicality instead of flattery. Schweitzer and Helen began their relationship in 1898, as students. In many hundreds of their letters they only once used the word "love". Schweitzer called his medical work "the religion of love, actually put into practice." The disapproval, conservatism and shallowness of many Christian friends and even his own father did not stop him from his career change to medicine in 1905. Only Helene Bresslau understood him. In 1912 Schweitzer married her before they went to Equatorial Africa. It was a passionate, profound joining of souls. She trained as a nurse and became his assistant in medical work, in writing and in international public service. Their daughter, Rhena, was born in 1919, she later became the lab analyst at her father's hospital in Africa. His cousin Anne-Marie Schweitzer was the mother of Jean-Paul Sartre, who called Schweitzer 'Uncle Al'.
Schweitzer was a multifaceted person, a true Renessance man. He was a doctor, a pastor, a teacher, a writer, a musician, a father and husband, an international lecturer and the leading proponent of peace, all at the same time. He admired all people as brothers and sisters. His openness and helpfulness to strangers was disarming and ennobling. He was learning from simple people through his entire life, being himself patient, modest and humble. "Why are you traveling in the 4th class?" some official asked him - "Because there is no 5th class", answered Schweitzer.
His humor was legendary. His look resembled that of his friend Albert Einstein. Once on a train he was asked by two schoolgirls, "Dr. Einstein, will you give us your autograph?" He did not want to disappoint them, so he signed their autograph book: "Albert Einstein, by his friend Albert Schweitzer."
He died on September 4, 1965, in the hospital, which he founded in 1913, and was laid to rest in the ground of his hospital in Lambarene, Gabon.- Albie Gaye was born in 1919 in Sobieski, Wisconsin, USA. She was an actress, known for Richard Diamond, Private Detective (1956). She died on 26 November 1965 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Novelist, poet, editor and journalist Allan Eugene Updegraff was born in Grinnell, Iowa on 14 February, 1883, the oldest of four boys born to William R. and Laura A. Updegraff. Laura passed away sometime between 1889 and 1900. Updegraff's parents were farmers and had operated farms near Grinnell and Washington, Iowa and later Springfield, Missouri. Two of his brothers, Lawrence Vale (1884-1961) and Herbert H. (1889-1961), went on to have successful newspaper careers, while his third brother, William David (1885-1960), became a California rancher.
Updegraff attended, but did not graduate from Yale University. Before his writing career bloomed, Updegraff worked as an editor of a South Chicago newspaper, investigator for a charitable organization, editor of the Yale Monthly and maintenance man for Upton Sinclair's utopian Helicon Home Colony in Englewood, New Jersey. It was at the latter that Updegraff caught the writing bug.
In 1907 The New York Times reported that Updegraff and a friend intended to travel on foot to San Francisco where they hoped to find work on a merchant ship bound for the Fiji Islands. The two hoped to achieve their search for a workless and poetic society on $20 apiece, panhandling and maybe a little larceny. It is not known by this writer how far the couple got.
A short list of Uupdegraff's works may include "A Gentleman from Jupiter" (1916), "Second Youth: Being, in the Main, Some Account of the Middle Comedy in the Life of a New York Bachelor: A Novel" (1917), " A Novel of Modernistic Truth and Intruding War" (1918), "Whatever We Do" (1927) and "Grantham's Moor,: And Collected Poems, Some old" (1960).
In 1908 Updegraff married Canadian author ("Weeds" 1923) Edith Summers (1884-1956)), whom he'd met while she was Upton Sinclair's secretary. Two children, Barbara and Ivor, were born to this union before they divorced sometime around 1913. Updegraff later wed fashion consultant and freelance writer Dora (Doris) Loues Miller. Starting in 1923, and only interrupted by the war years, Updegraff and his wife would spend the majority out of every year in Paris, France, the fashion capital of the world.
Allan Eugene Updegraff died in Paris on 7 December, 1965. He was survived by his wife Dora who passed away in Paris three years later. His son Ivor H. Updegraff (1913-2006) went on to be a chemistry professor and scientist.
The source material for this bio primarily came from: Reports of Deaths of American Citizens Abroad, 1960, 1963-1974, US Census records and several newspaper articles, including Dora Loues Miller's obituary in the 17 February, 1968 edition of the New York Times.- Soundtrack
