A former photographer, he turned to directing short subjects in the late 40s, soon acquiring an international reputation for the poetic quality of his short and medium-length films involving the fantasy world of children. Both his White Mane (1953) and The Red Balloon (1956) received a grand prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the latter also winning an American Academy Award. In the early 60s he turned to feature length films with considerably less success, then retreated to documentary shorts. He was killed in a helicopter crash while shooting a documentary near Teheran. That film, The Lovers' Wind (1978), a visually stunning helicopter tour of Iran, was later edited from his notes and was nominated for an Oscar as best feature documentary for the Academy Award ceremonies of 1979.- Franco Gulà was born on 11 January 1899 in Caltanissetta, Italy.

Almost a forgotten figure as a race driver, Bruce McLaren's name lives on in the Formula 1 race team he founded in 1966. Several top drivers can thank the New Zealand native for wins in some of the biggest races in the world, including Monaco and the Indianapolis 500. McLaren started racing in the 1950s and joined the Grand Prix circus in 1958 racing for Cooper where he won three races. He introduced the first McLaren racer in 1966, and won a race in his own car two years later. He was planning on retiring from racing when he was killed at Goodwood, England, when a piece of bodywork from his McLaren Can-Am car flew off, sending the car out of control and crashing into a stand.- Writer
