Alain Delon (Actor) .. Roger Sartet

LIno Ventura (Actor) .. Le Goff

Irina Demick (Actor) .. Jeanne

Born: January 01, 1937

Trivia: Franco-Russian model Irina Demick was Darryl F. Zanuck's newest obsession in 1961. He cast her prominently as a French resistance fighter in his all-star The Longest Day (1962), making a point of bringing up her key scene (in which she drowns a Nazi officer) at virtually every press conference attending the film's release. In 1965, Irina was spotlighted in no fewer than seven roles in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, each character a different nationality. Despite Zanuck's strenuous efforts, Irina Demick never caught on with the public, and she faded from films after 1968's Prudence and the Pill.

Amedeo Nazzari (Actor) .. Tony

Born: December 10, 1907
Died: November 07, 1979

Trivia: Italian leading man Amedeo Nazzari entered films in 1935, hitting his stride three years later as the title character in Luciano Serra, Pilot. At his peak, he made up to five films per year, few of which lost money. He gently chided his virile, romantic screen image as the self-absorbed movie star in Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (1957). Few of Nazzari's Italian-starring vehicles were widely distributed in the U.S., though he was a familiar character actor in such international productions as The Best of Enemies (1961) and The Valachi Papers (1972); he also occasionally functioned as a producer and screenwriter. Amedeo Nazzari was the father of actress Evalina Nazzari.

Sydney Chaplin (Actor) .. Jack

Born: March 31, 1926
Died: March 03, 2009

Trivia: Sydney Chaplin's acting career is perhaps more comparable to that of his namesake uncle than to his internationally loved father Sir Charles Chaplin. The second son from his father's ill-fated marriage to young actress Lita Grey, Sydney and his elder brother Charles Jr. were raised by Grey following her divorce from the elder Chaplin. The young actor got his start in his father's Limelight (1952) following military service. He later went on to appear in his father's swan song, A Countess From Hong Kong (1964). Chaplin appeared regularly in films of varying quality through the mid-'70s. He is also noted as a stage actor and has starred in several Broadway musicals including Bells Are Ringing and Funny Girl.

Leopoldo Trieste (Actor) .. Stamp Expert

Born: May 03, 1917
Died: January 25, 2003

Trivia: Garnering an impressive 160 film credits over the course of his enduring career, actor/writer Leopoldo Trieste worked with such noted directors as Federico Fellini (The White Sheik [1952]) and Roberto Rossellini (The Young and the Passionate [1952]) before coming to the attention of the international film community with such efforts as Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II (1974) and Jean-Jacques Annaud's The Name of the Rose (1986). Born in Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 1917, Trieste began his career as a stage performer. Co-writing (as well as acting in) his first film following World War II, Love Prelude, proved a moderate success, though it wasn't until Fellini cast him in The White Sheik that his career truly took off. Subsequently scripting films and gaining a reputation as a respected playwright, Trieste continued to alternate between stage and screen in the following years, even attempting a stint at directing 1950's Città di Notte (City at Night) and 1960's Il Peccato Degli Anni Verdi. Though both films proved disappointing failures, Trieste pushed on and continued to find success in front of the camera. The veteran actor was the recipient of a Nastro d'Argento award for his role in The Star Maker (1995). In January of 2003, Leopoldo Trieste died of cardiac arrest in Rome, Italy. He was 85.
