Born Clara Lou Sheridan in Denton, Texas on February 21, 1915, Ann Sheridan was beautiful and talented Hollywood actress. Meanwhile, she became actress quite accidentally.

Besides, she subsequently entered and won a beauty contest, with part of her prize being a bit part in a Paramount film. As a result, she abandoned college to pursue a career in Hollywood.

Edward Montgomery Clift (October 17, 1920 – July 23, 1966), American film and stage actor. The New York Times’ obituary noted his portrayal of “moody, sensitive young man”.

Also, the doomed regular soldier Robert E. Lee Prewitt in Fred Zinnemann’s From Here to Eternity, and the Jewish GI bullied by antisemites in Edward Dmytryk’s The Young Lions. Later, after a disfiguring car crash in 1956, and alcohol and prescription drug abuse, he became erratic.
