Richard Wattis
Biography
Richard Cameron Wattis (25 February 1912 – 1 February 1975) was an English actor.
After leaving the family business, Wattis became an actor. His debut was with Croydon Repertory Theatre, and he made many stage appearances in the West End in London. His first appearance in a film was A Yank at Oxford (1938), but war service interrupted his career as an actor. He served as a second lieutenant in the Small Arms Section of Special Operations Executive at Station VI during World War II (James Bond author, Ian Fleming worked in the same section). He is best known for his appearances, wearing his thick-rimmed round spectacles, in British comedies of the 1950s and 1960s, often as a "Man from the Ministry" or similar character. He was also involved as the secretary to Lord Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Such appearances included the St Trinian's films (The Belles of St Trinian's, Blue Murder at St Trinian's, and The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery) as Manton Bassett, a civil servant who was the Deputy Director of Schools in the Ministry of Education, where he was often seen frowning and expressing indignation at the outrageous behaviour of other characters. To American audiences, Wattis is probably best known for his performance as the British civil servant Northbrook in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957). He broke from this typecasting in his later films, such as his starring role in Games That Lovers Play.
Wattis's other films included Hobson's Choice, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Carry On Spying, The Colditz Story, Dentist on the Job, Very Important Person, The Happiest Days of Your Life, and The Longest Day.

Angelo Parker
Biography
Angelo Parker (real name Jeff Parker) is a veteran Canadian professional wrestler, best recognized for his work as one half of the popular tag team 2point0, and later as a key member of the villainous Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS) in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Born on March 20, 1984, Parker debuted in professional wrestling around 2003 after being trained by legends like The Dudley Boyz. Parker's career has seen him use various names, including Jagged, Jean-Paul, and Scott Parker.
For many years, Parker formed a highly successful tag team with his partner, Matt Menard (formerly known as Shane Matthews). They worked extensively on the independent circuit, particularly in their home province of Quebec and across North America, known as 3.0 and 2.0. During this time, they captured numerous championships, including the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas (twice) and the IWS World Tag Team Championship (twice). Parker also held singles gold, winning the IWS Canadian Championship twice.
In 2016, Parker and Menard signed with WWE, where they wrestled in NXT and on 205 Live under the team name Ever-Rise, using the names Chase Parker and Matt Martel.
The duo was released in 2021 and quickly found a new home in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion, Ring of Honor (ROH). Reverting to the name 2point0 and later being rebranded as Angelo Parker ("Cool Hand Ang") and Matt Menard ("Daddy Magic"), they aligned themselves with Chris Jericho to become founding members of the Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS), adopting the persona of sports entertainers rather than professional wrestlers.
As part of JAS, Parker showcased his charisma in both comedic and antagonistic roles, frequently involving himself in high-profile feuds alongside Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, and Daniel Garcia.
In a well-received on-screen storyline that transitioned into real life, Angelo Parker developed a relationship with fellow AEW wrestler, Ruby Soho. The two were married in 2024 and later announced that they were expecting their first child.

Blanche Sweet
Biography
From Wikipedia
Sarah Blanche Sweet (June 18, 1896 – September 6, 1986) was an American silent film actress who began her career in the earliest days of the Hollywood motion picture film industry.
Sweet is renowned for her energetic, independent roles, at variance with the 'ideal' Griffith type of vulnerable, often fragile, femininity. After many starring roles, her first real landmark film was the 1911 Griffith thriller The Lonedale Operator. In 1913 she starred in Griffith's first feature-length movie, Judith of Bethulia. In 1914 Sweet was initially cast by Griffith in the part of Elsie Stoneman in his epic The Birth of a Nation but the role was eventually given to rival actress Lillian Gish, who was Sweet's senior by three years. That same year Sweet parted ways with Griffith and joined Paramount (then Famous Players-Lasky) for the much higher pay that studio was able to afford.
Throughout the 1910s, Sweet continued her career appearing in a number of highly prominent roles in films and remained a publicly popular leading lady. She often starred in vehicles by Cecil B. DeMille and Marshall Neilan, and she was recognised by leading film critics of the time to be one of the foremost actresses of the entire silent era. It was during her time working with Neilan that the two began a publicized affair, which brought on his divorce from former actress Gertrude Bambrick. Sweet and Neilan married in 1922. The union ended in 1929 with Sweet charging that Neilan was a persistent adulterer.
During the early 1920s Sweet's career continued to prosper, and she starred in the first film version of Anna Christie in 1923. The film is also notable as being the first Eugene O'Neill play to be made into a motion picture. In successive years, she starred in Tess of the D'Urbervilles and The Sporting Venus, both directed by Neilan. Sweet soon began a new career phase as one of the newly formed MGM studio's biggest stars.
Sweet made just three talking pictures, including her critically lauded performance in 1930's Show Girl in Hollywood, before retiring from the screen that same year and marrying stage actor Raymond Hackett in 1935. The marriage lasted until Hackett's death in 1958.
Sweet spent the remainder of her performing career in radio and in secondary Broadway stage roles. Eventually, her career in both of these fields petered out, and she began working in a Los Angeles department store. In the late 1960s, her acting legacy was resurrected when film scholars invited her to Europe to receive recognition for her work.
On September 24, 1984, a tribute to Blanche Sweet was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Miss Sweet introduced her 1925 film, The Sporting Venus.
Sweet died in New York City of a stroke, on September 6, 1986, just weeks after her 90th birthday.
