Klemperer is remembered as Colonel Wilhelm Klink: the bumbling, cowardly and self-serving Commandant of Stalag 13 on Hogan's Heroes, which ran on CBS from 1965 to 1971. Klemperer was conscious that he was playing a Nazi officer, and agreed to play Klink only on the condition that he would be portrayed as a fool who never succeeded. When Klemperer's father, the famous conductor, saw his first episode of Hogan's Heroes, he said to his son, "Your work is good...but who is the author of this material?" In addition to the character's bumblings, Klink was also remembered for his horribly screechy violin playing, spoofing Klemperer's talent for the violin. For his performance as Klink, Klemperer received six Emmy Award nominations for best supporting actor, winning in 1968, and again in 1969. It was on the set of Hogan's Heroes that he met actress Louise Troy, who was making a guest appearance. They fell in love and married, but eventually divorced.
Klemperer reprised the role of Klink in an episode of The Simpsons in 1993 as Homer's guardian angel and spirit guide in the episode: "The Last Temptation of Homer" (episode # 5.9). According to the particular episode's DVD commentary, when he guested he had to be given a quick reminder of how to play Colonel Klink. He appeared in character and costume as Klink in a "Batclimb cameo" on the campy Batman television series and as Officer Bolix in the Lost in Space episode "All That Glitters" in 1966.
Between 1970 and 1978, Klemperer owned a Mercedes Benz 6.9 V8. When parked on the set of Hogan's Heroes, his co-star Bob Crane joked about it being "The Colonel's staff car". After Crane's murder, Werner sold the car because it brought back too many memories of his friend.
Werner Klemperer died from cancer at 80. His ashes were scattered at sea. From 1997 until his death, Klemperer was married to African-American actress Kim Hamilton.

Son of the industrialist patriarch of Fiat, Gianni Agnelli. Originally expected to be the heir apparent as the only son, his life made it clear he would never succeed his father.
Edoardo was detained in Kenya ten years ago on heroin charges; he was in possession of approximately 300 grams. The drug charges were eventually dropped and Edoardo was banned from entering Africa again.
Gianni had known that Edoardo could never succeed him. In 1986, Edoardo admitted to his father that he had a secret son. The child born out of wedlock, Giovanni "Gio" Agnelli. (born 1973) was named in honor of Edoardo's father. The senior Agnelli was not amused, and denied the legitimacy of Edoardo's claim. Edoardo then held a press conference at Assisi at which he spoke about God and announced that he was preparing to take over the leadership of Fiat. Fiat responded publicly that Edoardo was unlikely to become active in its operations.
In 2000 Edoardo apparently committed suicide by jumping off a banked road. The funeral was immediate. Later that day, the Agnellis began to arrive at the family mansion at Villar Perosa, near Turin. Edoardo was laid in the Agnelli vault on Friday. The gigantic Fiat vehicle plants paused for a moment of respect, then resumed production. In subsequent years, it has been claimed in Muslim quarters that Edoardo is a martyr killed by Zionists. They claim, some of the close friends of him, that before his death he wanted to go to Tehran and seek political asylum, as his life was in danger. Further more they claim that the zionist regime could not have let such a big wealthy estate run in the hands of a devote shia muslim, particularly when he is a supporter of Iran.

In 1962, he met the poet-diplomat Vinicius de Moraes and began a collaboration that yielded some true classics of 1960s Brazilian music. Although Bossa Nova was the prevailing sound of the times, the partnership Baden-Vinicius wanted to transcend the then-fashionable sound by syncretizing Afro-Brazilian forms such as Candomblé, Umbanda and Capoeira with Rio de Janeiro's Samba forms.

Yates met Geldof in the early days of the Boomtown Rats. They got together as a couple in 1976 when she travelled by airplane to Paris, to surprise him while the band was playing there. Their first daughter, Fifi Trixibelle, was born on 31 March 1983. After 10 years together, they married on 31 August 1986 in Las Vegas, with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran acting as Geldof's best man. The couple then had two more daughters, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof on 16 March 1989, and Pixie Geldof on 17 September 1990. Pixie is said to be named after a celebrity daughter character from the cartoon Celeb in the satirical magazine Private Eye, itself a lampoon of the unusual names the Geldofs gave to their first children.
Yates interviewed the INXS singer Michael Hutchence in her Big Breakfast boudoir, and fell in love with him. In 1995, Yates left Geldof for Hutchence. Geldof and Yates divorced in May 1996. Two months later Yates's daughter with Hutchence, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence (known as Tiger) was born on 22 July 1996.
On 22 November 1997, Hutchence was found hanged in a hotel room in Sydney. Yates became distraught, refusing to accept the coroner's verdict of suicide. She eventually sought psychiatric treatment. Yates never entirely recovered from losing him, and even attempted suicide. In June 1998, Bob Geldof won full custody of the couple's three daughters. Meanwhile, she battled Hutchence's mother Patricia Glassop and her daughter Tina for custody of Tiger Lily.
Yates's dispute with the Hutchence family over Michael's estate saw her struggling to bring up her daughter. While battling grief and problems with addiction, she was also in an extremely difficult financial situation. Yates resorted to selling her jewellery in order to pay bills, including the three amethyst rings Geldof gave her after the birth of each of their daughters. She downsized to living in a small mews house in the years prior to her death, but also purchased a second home in Hastings.
While fighting for custody of Tiger, it was reported in the media that Jess Yates had not been Yates's natural father. A paternity test proved that the late quiz show host Hughie Green, who had died only six months before Hutchence, had in fact been her natural father.

Was the bass player for rock groups The Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule, The Artemus Pyle Band, The Peter Criss Band and Montage.
The cause of his death has not been publicly released (or determined?), and consequently has been speculated among fans.
Woody's death helped Haynes in his decision to return to The Allman Brothers Band. Gov't Mule continued on after his death with Andy Hess assuming bass duties after a three year period that saw a routing group of bass players including Dave Schools and Oteil Burbridge.
After his death, Epiphone released the Allen Woody Rumble Kat limited edition bass guitar.
Woody was a respected bass guitarist - he had a large collection of bass guitars (around 450), featured in his own 'masterclass' bass instruction video and was held in high esteem for his playing. His proficient technique was characterized by steady playing of the 16th note, while maintaining consistent rhythm. The Epiphone signature bass was similar to two specially built double-neck instruments that Gibson made him... a bass/guitar and a bass/mandolin. Allen usually played the Gibson EB series, but at times played a Rickenbacker or Gibson Thunderbird. Ampeg SVT was his amp of choice most of the time.

In 1935, Young had an affair with Clark Gable, who was married at the time, while on location for The Call of the Wild. During their relationship, Young became pregnant. Due to the moral codes placed on the film industry Young covered up her pregnancy in order to avoid damaging her career (as well as Gable's). Returning from a long "vacation" (during which she secretly gave birth to her daughter), Young announced that she had adopted the little girl. The child was raised as "Judy Lewis" after taking the name of Young's second husband, producer Tom Lewis. According to Lewis's autobiography Uncommon Knowledge, Lewis was made fun of because of the ears that she received from her father, Clark Gable. Over the years she had heard rumors and secretly knew that Loretta Young was her biological mother, but it was not until 1958 when Judy's future husband Joseph Tinney told her that "everybody" knew the rumors that she really began to suspect. It was not until a few years later when Judy was a mother herself that she finally got the nerve to ask her mother, who finally admitted that Clark Gable was Judy's father.

He was a Hungarian economist and Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winner. He is best known for his contributions to the study of game theory and its application to economics, specifically for his developing the highly innovative analysis of games of incomplete information, so-called Bayesian games. He also made important contributions to the use of game theory and economic reasoning in political and moral philosophy (specifically utilitarian ethics) as well as contributing to the study of equilibrium selection. For his work, he was a co-recipient along with John Nash and Reinhard Selten of the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. John Harsanyi died in 2000 from a heart attack in Berkeley, California, after suffering for a time from Alzheimer's disease

He was a British mathematician born in London, who worked mostly in topology. His wife was American mathematician Dorothy Maharam. His first paper dealt with squaring the square, he proved the Erdős–Stone theorem with Paul Erdős and is credited with the discovery of the first flexagon, a trihexaflexagon while he was a student at Princeton University in the USA in 1939. The Stone's metrization theorem has been named after him, and he was a member of a group of mathematicians who published pseudonymously as Blanche Descartes. He is not to be confused with American mathematician Marshall Harvey Stone.

His statistical interests were many and varied. He is particularly remembered for his development with James Cooley of the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm. In 1970, he contributed significantly to what is today known as the jackknife estimation—also termed Quenouille-Tukey jackknife. He introduced the box plot in his 1977 book, Exploratory Data Analysis.
He is also the creator of several little-known methods such as the trimean and median-median line, an easier alternative to linear regression.
Tukey retired in 1985. In 2000, he died in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
