- Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy was born Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald on July 22, 1890 to Josie Hannon and the future mayor of Boston, John Francis Fitzgerald. She grew up with several brothers and sisters and thanks to her father, the family was very well off. Rose went to a series of Catholic Schools in Boston, and when she graduated her father presented her diploma and their picture appeared in the newspaper. Rose wanted to go to Wellesley Collage, but during that time her father was in the middle of a scandal and needed the support of the Catholics of Boston and said no to her going to a WASP school. Instead she, her parents,and her sister went to Europe that summer so that the Fitzgeralds could get their daughters into a Catholic boarding school in Holland.
The stay in Holland was a very difficult time for Rose. It was very strict and English was not spoken, only French and German. She and her sister spent about a year there before going home. Shortly after she came home she re-met the son of one of her father's cronies, Joseph Patrick Kennedy. They fell in love, but it was not until Joe, as he was called, became a bank manager, did Honey Fitz (John Fitzgerald's nickname) allow her to marry. Joe and Rose were married on October 7, 1914 and soon got busy making babies. First was Joe, Jr. in 1915, then John Fitzgerald in 1917, Rosemary in 1918, Kathleen Agnes in 1920, Eunice in 1921, Patricia in 1924, Robert Francis in 1925, Jean in 1928, and Edward Moore in 1932. These years were far from easy for Rose. When she was very pregnant with Kathleen she left Joe and went to live with her parents for a while because she could not take it anymore. She went back shortly before the birth. Also during this time she had to contend with her absent husband. Joe was almost always away, either in California with his mistress Gloria Swanson, or in New York making money.
When the youngest of the Kennedy brood were young the family moved to New York, so that they could be closer to Joe. Also during this time Rose became the wife of the Ambassador to the Court of Saint James. Joe had gotten president Franklin Roosevelt to appoint him the ambassador to the Court of Saint James and soon had his family over to London in waves. Joe and Rose were only in London for a short time thought before World War Two began and Rose and the children went back to the United States. Shortly after, Joe wanted out and he gave a speech that said that Democracy might be gone in England and maybe in the United States, as well, that ended his political career. During this time Rose watched as her children helped in World War Two. Joe, Jr. was an aviator in England and was killed when his plane exploded in 1944. John (Jack) was on a boat in the Pacific, and Kathleen was a nurse for the red cross in London.
During the war, Rose had problems with Kathleen who was in London. Kathleen wanted to marry William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, a Protestant. Rose, a devout Catholic, was very upset at this and felt it was divine intervention when months after their marriage William died fighting in World War Two. She was also mad when she heard that Kathleen was set on marrying a not yet divorced Protestant in 1948 and also felt that it was divine intervention when the plane that they were in crashed killing everybody on board in May 1948.
After these tragedies Rose helped her family. She campaigned for her sons John and Robert and watched as her children married and had grandchildren. She was thrilled in 1961 when her son John became the 35th President of the United States and since John's wife Jacqueline had just given birth, Rose and her daughters Pat, and Eunice, as well as her daughter-in-law Ethel (the wife of Robert) helped host some of the events that were held at the White House.
While this was going on another tragedy happened. Joe had a stroke and was partially paralyzed. Then came November 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated and the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy, as well as the 1969 scandal involving son Edward in Chappaquidick. Shortly after that scandal Joe died.
Rose spent the rest of her life in relative peace. She watched her grandchildren grow up, some getting married and giving her great grandchildren before dying at the ripe old age of 104 on January 22, 1995. Luckily she died before seeing the death and scandals associated with her grandchildren: JFK Jr, Michael Kennedy, and divorce scandal of Kerry Kennedy Cuomo. - George Henry Seldes was a native of Alliance, New Jersey, and the older brother of writer Gilbert Seldes. He was probably one of the more controversial American journalists and authors of the first half of the 20th century. Drew Pearson would often pass on news stories to Seldes that Pearson deemed too hot to print in his own syndicated column. Between 1940 and 1950 Seldes and his wife Helen, published "In Fact", a weekly newspaper that covered stories that other papers either ignored or downplayed. At its height "In Fact" had a circulation of 750,000 readers. Among those readers who credited "In Fact" as an influence in their life, were consumer activist Ralph Nader and columnist Jack Anderson.
Seldes began his career at age 18 as cub reporter for the Pittsburgh Leader after attending Harvard for one year. After the First World War broke out he decided become a war correspondent and soon began reporting from the European theater. At war's end, Seldes and several other reporters were court marshaled for entering Germany without military permission to interview Hindenburg. They got their interview but were later forbidden to print it. Seldes decided to stay in Europe working as foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. There his reporting on Bolshevik purges and murders would eventually get him expelled from Soviet Russia. Later, similar reporting in Mussolini's Italy would earn him persona non grata status there as well. Seldes would later write a rather unflattering book about Il Duce entitled "Sawdust Caesar" (1936).
On 2 May, 1931, Seldes married 25 year old Countess Dursilla Ladine Young de Martino in Toulon, France. The Countess, who was born in Moody, Texas, was said to have been married to a Spanish Count, at one time held captive in a Moroccan harem, starred in Russian movies and a cast member in the Broadway play "Street Singer" (1929/30). Apparently the union did not last long for the following year he married Cincinnati, Ohio native, Helen Larkin Wiesman, whom he had met several years earlier in Paris when she was a graduate student studying chemistry at the Sorbonne.
While in Madrid covering the Spanish Civil War for the New York Post, the hotel Seldes and his wife were staying at came under artillery fire. This was particularly irksome to Helen Seldes who was bathing at the time of the attack. Years later, whenever the couple visited Madrid, they would try to book the same hotel room their friend Ernest Hemingway lived in when he was reporting on the conflict. Seldes and his wife were close friends of several other 20th century literary greats, Sinclair Lewis, John Dos Passos, Dorothy Thompson], and Vincent Sheean, to name a few.
Seldes was the author of numerous controversial books about the press, politics and religion. Starting with, "You Can't Print That!" (1929) and "Can These Things Be!" (1931) and later "The Vatican: Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow," (1934), "Iron, Blood and Profits," (1934), "Freedom of the Press" (1935), "Lords of the Press" (1938), "You Can't Do That! " (1938), "The Catholic Crisis" (1940), "Witch Hunt," (1940), "Facts and Fascism" (1943) and others. As a journalist, he exposed corrupt politicians and corporate lobbyist and was one of the first to report on the results of product testing by consumer unions. "In Fact" once printed a report linking tobacco and longevity that no other publication would touch at that time. In the early 1950s Seldes fell victim to McCarthyism and was blacklisted for a number of years. During this time he was able to publish at least one work, "Tell the Truth and Run" (1953).
Seldes went on to author several more books before passing away at the remarkable age of 104, "The Great Quotations" (1961), "Never Tire of Protesting" (1968), "Even the Gods Can't Change History " (1976), "The Great Thoughts" (1985) and "Witness to a Century" (1987.

Although British actress Kathleen Harrison was born in 1892 in the Lancashire town of Blackburn, she was fondly known for her cockney characters throughout her career. Trained for the stage at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art she first married and lived overseas in Argentina for nearly eight years. Upon her return she made her initial stage appearance in "The Constant Flirt" in 1926. In the 30s she found her way onto the screen, taking many of her delightful theatre roles to film, including Line Engaged (1935), Night Must Fall (1937) (probably her most noteworthy), and Who Is Guilty? (1939). She added immeasurable Dickensian flavor as various maids and mums to such classics as Oliver Twist (1948), A Christmas Carol (1951) and The Pickwick Papers (1952).
She was also openly received as Mrs. Huggett in the "Huggett Family" series that ran a few years in the late 40s. In her five decade career, Kathleen 'toiled' as various servile characters in nearly 80 films. As popular in England as similar 'working class' as character player Thelma Ritter was in America, Kathleen also enjoyed a slight shot of TV popularity late in her career, notably in the brief series Mrs Thursday (1966) as a cleaning lady who inherits her boss's vast fortune.

Little is known about Theresa "Tressie" Souders, who in 1922, became the first known African-American female director, when the Afro-American Film Exhibitors Company of Baltimore and Dallas, Texas, contracted with her to distribute her film "A Woman's Error." Billboard Magazine for January 28, 1922 (34:107) published the company's announcement that "'A Woman's Error' was the first of its kind to be produced by a young woman of our race, and has been passed on by the critics as a picture true to Negro life." It appears that Ms. Souders left Kansas City, Missouri for Los Angeles; the 1930 census finds her (as "Tressa" Souders) living at the Sojourner Truth Industrial Home at 1119 East Adams Avenue; her occupation was "Servant, Private Home." She may have gone to Los Angeles as an attempt to get into the motion picture business; however, as far as it is known, she spent most of the rest of her life as a domestic worker. Voting records have her at the East Adams address until 1935, when she married Oscar Carnelus West, a native of Richmond, Va., who ran a pool hall in the Watts section of the city of Los Angeles. There were no children of the marriage, which was short-lived. By 1940, Tressa West was in San Francisco, where she would stay the rest of her life, other than periodic visits south to Los Angeles. She died in San Francisco in her ninety-fifth year, and is buried in Frankfort Cemetery in Marshall County, Kansas.- Mel Riddle was born on 15 June 1897 in Granbury, Texas, USA.

Genevieve B. Searle, was born June 23, 1898, in Chicago, Illinois, to Robinson Prudden Searle and Marie Antoinette Baxter. Genevieve had one brother, Edward Baxter Searle (1890-1952).
In 1900, the family was enumerated in Chicago, Illinois, and, by 1910, the family had moved to Webb County, Texas.
Giving their residences as Toledo, Ohio, Genevieve Searle and her first husband, Parke Meredith Detweiler (1892-1948), son of Charles Parke Detweiler and Leila Mariah Smith, married on July 25, 1914, in Monroe, Michigan, but later divorced.
Genevieve married her second husband, Edwin Jackson (1898-1972), son of Merwin S. H. Jackson and Anna E. Roberts, on December 17, 1923, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and they, too, divorced. [Note: Edwin Jackson's second wife, actress Helen Marie Hayes (1893-c.1932), was the first wife of actor Edmund Fessenden Cobb (1892-1974).]
In late December 1929 and in January 1930, multiple newspapers from California to New York carried nearly identical articles on Genevieve Searle, accompanied by her photograph. One of these articles appeared in the "Schenectady Gazette," 15 Jan 1930, 34:92, page 11, columns 1-3 ("News of Stageland and the Movies: Toledo Society Girl Wins Contract as a Writer of Scenarios"), touching on Genevieve Searle's family background and chronicling briefly how she had quit high school to write, worked as a stenographer, spent time on a ranch, and found work as a script clerk. The article went on to report that, in late 1929, after changing her name to "Nagene" on the advice of a numerologist, one of her stories was finally accepted by a magazine, at which point her career started to take off. A Hollywood director named James Cruze soon signed her to a lucrative contract as a scenario writer in December 1929.
Nagene Searle has multiple credits on IMDb as a script and scenario writer and as a script supervisor.
Nagene Searle died 31 May 1995, in Los Angeles County, California.- Louise Lorimer was born on 14 July 1898 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She was an actress, known for Flying Cadets (1941), Compulsion (1959) and The Prowler (1951). She died on 11 August 1995 in Newton, Massachusetts, USA.

A graduate of Carnegie Tech, Arthur Lubin entered films as an actor in the 1920s, and after appearing in many films turned to directing in 1934, mainly for Universal. His forte was light comedy, but he helmed many different types of pictures for the studio. Lubin was the director Universal entrusted with its new comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello; he didn't let the studio down, and the team's films with Lubin, such as Buck Privates (1941), Hold That Ghost (1941) and Ride 'Em Cowboy (1942), rank among their best. Lubin has said that while shooting an Abbott and Costello film he would have one camera do nothing but focus on Costello, who had so much energy that he would run around the set doing wild improvisations, make up bits of business and mischievously throw actors wrong cues or not cue them at all, making it impossible to plan a shot before shooting; with one camera focused solely on Costello, whatever craziness he was engaged in could be edited in (or out; Costello was renowned for his off-color ad libs) later. Lubin's Abbott & Costello films saved Universal from bankruptcy, and as a reward he was handed the assignment of directing Universal's remake of its silent classic, Phantom of the Opera (1943). It was very successful, and remains as Lubin's highest-grossing and most critically acclaimed film. In the 1950s he was put in charge of the "Francis the Talking Mule" series, which also became successful, so much so that Lubin turned to television and developed another talking-animal series, the popular and long-running Mister Ed (1961).- Ellen Garrison was born on 23 August 1898 in Lenox, Massachusetts, USA.

Born just before the century turned, Charles Bennett made his writing debut as a child in 1911, fought in France during World War I while still a teen and resumed his acting career after the war's end. In 1926 he dropped acting to concentrate on being a playwright, later turning one of his most famous plays, "Blackmail," into a screenplay for production under the direction of Alfred Hitchcock. The affiliation with "Hitch" continued into the early 1940s, by which time both Bennett and the director were working in Hollywood. He wrote for producers ranging from Cecil B. DeMille to Irwin Allen to the penny-pinching folks at AIP. "If I couldn't write, I wouldn't want to live," commented Bennett, who had projects (including a remake of "Blackmail") going right up to the time of his death.- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
