Brenda Forbes was best known for her distinguished career on Broadway, where she first made an indelible impression as Elizabeth Barrett (Katharine Cornell)'s maid Wilson in 'The Barretts of Wimpole Street' (1935). Born to a theatrical family, Brenda left her native England while in her teens to join her mother (Mary Forbes), who already worked in Hollywood as a character actress.
After making her stage bow at the Vine Street Theatre, she went on to Broadway playing quintessential British parts in classical plays such as 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'My Fair Lady' (in 1976, as Mrs. Higgins). In 1967, she was nominated for a Tony Award for 'The Loves of Cass McGuire', and, in 1975, for a Joseph Jefferson Award as Best Actress in a Principal Role for 'The Sea' at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
Brenda was also acclaimed for her satirical performances in revue, but neither her comedic flair nor her eccentric characterizations came to the fore during her desultory motion picture carer. She only made six films in the course of nine years, including two big budget productions at MGM (Mrs. Miniver (1942) and The White Cliffs of Dover (1944)); the roles were small, i.e. as maids or nurses. In the 1950s, she returned to the celluloid medium in meatier roles, albeit as a character actress, and on the small screen. She appeared three times opposite Katharine Hepburn in made-for-TV movies.- Cinematographer

He was an actor and cinematographer, known for Stefanie (1958), Zwei blaue Vergissmeinnicht (1963) and Ich denke oft an Piroschka (1955). He died on 11 September 1996.- He was born in Fossacesia, Chieti, Abruzzo. His father was a railway worker from Mantua, and Guido went back to his family's town a few months after his birth. He debuted as a film critic at a very young age for the newspapers "La Gazzetta di Mantova" and "Il Corriere Padano" and then for the magazine "Cinema". In 1952 he founded and directed (until his death) the film magazine "Cinema Nuovo". In 1953 he spent 45 days in Peschiera Military Prison with Renzo Renzi, the two having published a screenplay for an unrealized film called "L'Armata S'agapò". The plot was about the Italian soldiers in Greece during the Second World War, and the authors were charged for contempt towards the Italian Army. On this incident the director Pino Passalacqua has realized in 1985 the TV movie L'armata Sagapò (1985). In 1969 he became the first professor of History of Cinema in the Italian universities, initially in Turin, and later in Rome. He retired in 1989.
