The son of a minister, de Hartog ran away to sea twice in his boyhood. Later, after attending the Netherlands Naval College, he went back to sea as a sailor. During this time he wrote detective stories and then a popular novel about tugboat crews titled "Holland's Glory". During the Nazi occupation he found sanctuary in a house in Amsterdam. After the war he moved to England, began to write in English, and turned out a number of novels, some of which were filmed: The Spiral Road (1962) with Rock Hudson, "The Inspector" with Stephen Boyd (released under the title Lisa (1962)), and "Stella" with William Holden and Sophia Loren (released as The Key (1958)).
In 1951 his play, "The Fourposter", became a major Broadway success starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. A movie version followed with Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer and then Broadway musicalized it as "I Do! I Do!" with Robert Preston and Mary Martin. De Hartog was briefly married as a young man in Holland. In England, in 1946, he married Angela Priestley, daughter of J.B. Priestley. In 1961 he married Marjorie Mein (who had earlier served as production secretary to Michael Powell on The Red Shoes) with whom he lived in Houston, Texas, during his later years. Two children from the first marriage, Sylvia and Arnold, still live in the Netherlands. Two children from the second marriage, Catherine and Nicholas, still live in England.

- Born in New York City, Joseph Nathan Kane graduated from Columbia University shortly before World War I. Upon graduating he secured work writing for trade journals about the export business, and from that he developed a fascination for inventors and other achievers who had been largely forgotten by history. He wrote a book about it, which proved to be so popular that he eventually devoted all his time to writing books about facts, circumstances and incidents that were largely unknown to most people (for example, he disproved the myth that George Washington was the first U.S. President by unearthing the information that a man named Thomas McKean was in fact appointed U.S. President by Congress before Washington). A lifelong bachelor, Kane spent virtually all of his time shuttling back and forth between local libraries and his office, which also served as his apartment. He is generally considered to be the first expert on what is now known as "trivia," and was in fact hired in the early days of television to write questions for such popular quiz shows as The $64, 000 Question (1955) and Break the $250,000 Bank (1948). He wrote a total of 52 books. He died in New York City at age 103 in 2002.
