Born 1917-04-09. Domain:Performing. Cause of death:Other

Brad Dexter (born Boris Michel Soso) was an American actor and film producer. He is known for tough-guy and western roles, including the 1960 film The Magnificent Seven (1960), and producing several films for Sidney J. Furie such as Lady Sings the Blues. He is also known for a short marriage to Peggy Lee, a friendship with Marilyn Monroe and for saving Frank Sinatra from drowning. Dexter's tough-guy roles contrasted with his easygoing and friendly real-life personality Emphysema.
He played Harry Luck in the magnificent seven.
On May 10, 1964, during production of the World War II film "None But the Brave" in Kaui, Hawaii, Frank Sinatra and Ruth Koch, the wife of producer Howard Koch, were swimming at a beach when they were swept out to sea by the outgoing tide and nearly drowned. Sinatra's co-star Brad Dexter and two surfers swam out and rescued them. Dexter was later awarded a Red Cross medal for his bravery. Sinatra and Dexter co-starred in a second film together "Von Ryan's Express" and Dexter subsequently produced "The Naked Runner" which starred Sinatra and was filmed in London. Unfortunately the two men clashed over Sinatra's unwillingess to finish the film and after it was completed, Dexter resigned. "I was the only guy who dropped Sinatra," Dexter said. "I couldn't put up with his nonsense."

Born 1903-06-18. Domain:Writing. Cause of death:Infection

Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is an illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar typhi. Common worldwide, it is transmitted by the fecal-oral route — the ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person. The bacteria then multiply in the blood stream of the infected person and are absorbed into the digestive tract and eliminated with the waste. The organism is a Gram-negative short bacillus that is motile due to its pertrichous flagella. Optimal temperature is 37 degrees Celsius.
