After Star Trek, Kelley found himself a victim of the very typecasting he had so feared. He did a few television appearances and a couple of movies, but essentially went into de facto retirement. In an interview done in the late 1990s, he said one of his biggest fears was that the words etched on his gravestone would be "He's dead, Jim," a catch phrase that Dr. McCoy spoke in many Star Trek episodes.
Kelley took up poetry as a hobby, and he published the first two books in a series, "The Big Bird's Dream" and "The Dream Goes On." Kelley would not live to finish this series.

He died suddenly from a heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta, reportedly after drinking three bottles of Captain Morgan's Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whisky, and beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm wrestling at a bar called "The Pub."
He was famous for his excessive drinking, which fitted in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the 1960s and '70s, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking, in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine and one bottle of Babycham.

He was an American psychiatrist and co-author of the book The Three Faces of Eve (1957). In 1957, with Cleckley, Thigpen co-authored the book The Three Faces of Eve, the first popular account of a case of multiple personalities (now called dissociative identity disorder). They had previously published a research article on their patient "Eve" in 1954, documenting the psychiatric sessions and how they came to view it as a case of multiple personality. Such a diagnosis had fallen into relative disuse in psychiatry, but Thigpen and Cleckley felt they had identified a rare case; others have questioned the use of hypnosis and suggestion in creating some if not all of the characterization, and the diagnosis of multiple personality disorder remains controversial despite, or because of, upsurges in diagnoses in America. The book was made into a film, The Three Faces of Eve, released later in 1957, and starring Joanne Woodward, who earned an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role. Thigpen and Cleckley served as advisors to Director Nunnally Johnson and received writing credits on the film. At the authors' behest, the film followed the actual patient's life and treatment. In the book and film, Eve is cured of her alternate personalities, but the real life person—Chris Costner Sizemore—has stated that she was not free of them until many years later. She also alleges that she was not aware the session reports would be published outside of medical circles, or that she was signing over rights to her life story forever (for £3 for the book rights to McGraw-Hill which sold 2 million copies and $5000 for the visual rights (relatives received $2000)). She fought unsuccessfully to stop the publication of videos of her treatment sessions, but in 1989 successfully sued the film studio 20th Century Fox when it wanted to make a parody remake of its film and tried to use a 1956 contract she had signed, without legal representation via Thigpen, to prevent Sissy Spacek optioning Sizemore's own published book on her life. When Sizemore returned to Augusta for a speaking tour in 1982 neither Thigpen or Cleckley attended and she did not visit them, though in 2008 she described the diagnosis and treatment of her as courageous. In 1994 Thigpen and Cleckley published a brief communication in an international hypnosis journal cautioning against over-use of the diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorder. Thigpen continued his practice of psychiatry until 1987, when vertigo forced retirement.

Lord Menuhin died in Berlin, Germany following a brief illness, from complications of bronchitis.
When Bartok was lost in poverty, and was stubbornly refusing help of any kind ( regarding it as degrading), Menuhin bought him a sonata.
Menuhin made several recordings with the German conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler, who had been criticized for conducting in Germany during the Nazi era. Menuhin defended Furtwangler, noting that the conductor had helped a number of Jewish musicians to flee Nazi Germany.
The name Yehudi means 'Jew' in Hebrew.
Ironically, in November 2005 his son Gerard was dismissed from his post as chairman of the Yehudi-Menuhin-Stiftung for alleged neo-Nazi opinions.

According to biographer Maury Allen, Joe was so alarmed at how Marilyn had returned to her self-destructive ways, falling in with people he felt detrimental to her (including Frank Sinatra and his "Rat Pack"), he quit his job with a military post-exchange supplier on August 1, 1962 to ask her to remarry him. But before he could, she was found dead on August 5, a probable suicide. Devastated, he claimed her body, and arranged her funeral, barring Hollywood's elite. He had a half-dozen red roses delivered 3 times a week to her crypt for the next 20 years. Unlike her other two husbands or other men who knew her intimately (or claimed to), he refused to talk about her publicly or "cash in" on the relationship. He never married again

Many stories abound as to the origins of the names but certainly Dusty herself is quoted as saying that hers was the nickname given her by school friends because she was such a tomboy and loved playing football out in the streets with the boys! The ‘explanation’ for the name ‘Springfields’ comes from the anecdote that they used to rehearse in fields during the spring.
1993 saw the release of the ‘Heart and Soul’ single with Cilla Black to celebrate the latter’s 30 years in the music business and this was followed by what turned out to be Dusty’s last album, ‘A Very Fine Love’. She had for a long time nurtured the desire to return to Nashville. As part of the Springfields all those years previous, she had been asked to stay – it was almost like returning home for her. Nearing the completion of the recording, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. The album was released in 1995 after Dusty had been given the all clear. The last live television appearance that Dusty made was on the show ‘Later With Jools Holland’ where, accompanied by Alison Moyet and Sinead O’Connor amongst others, she sang the track ‘Where Is A Woman To Go'.
Dusty’s cancer returned and was diagnosed as terminal. She moved to Henley-on-Thames and was able to spend some peaceful times looking out over the garden at the ‘pretty things’ which she always aspired to do.
