- Peter Arne was for a short time the perfect villain in British film. After a couple of roles in war movies (The Purple Plain (1954) and The Cockleshell Heroes (1955)) and a Tarzan movie (Tarzan and the Lost Safari (1957)) he became a villain in Strangers' Meeting (1957). From than on he continued to play sinister types in The Moonraker (1958), Intent to Kill (1958), Breakout (1959), Conspiracy of Hearts (1960), The Hellfire Club (1961) and The Secret of Monte Cristo (1961). He was very convincing as a Cromwell officer, an Italian camp commander or a Nazi officer. Several times he had sword fights as a devious count. In 1962 he was a pirate sidekick of Christopher Lee in The Pirates of Blood River (1962), but a new kid on the block by the name of Oliver Reed challenged him and killed him halfway through the picture. It seemed like a symbolic fight because for a while Oliver Reed played the roles in Hammer Pictures that Peter Arne could have played and Arne moved to TV roles. His days as a leading actor were over and he continued work in TV and in bit parts in features. Sometimes directors he worked with before brought him back for a little role. In 1972 he got a nice break with "The Stallion", a TV movie in which he starred with a horse. He was also in a couple of Blake Edwards movies. He became an antique dealer with his sister as a sideline. He was murdered at the age of 63 shortly after being cast in Doctor Who (1963).
- Vicky Lane was born Grace Patricia Rose Coghlan in Dublin, Ireland in 1926. At a relatively young age, she had already traveled around the world twice before settling with her family in Mexico, then Nevada, and finally Beverly Hills.
While perhaps best known for her role as the ape woman, Paula Dupree, in the 1945 Universal Studios horror film, "The Jungle Captive', Lane also had roles in a few other films during the mid-1940's.
As a budding starlet, she married her first husband, actor Tom Neal, in Las Vegas, NV on May 27, 1944. They divorced in 1950.
By the late-1950s, Vicky had recorded two singles and a full length jazz album, "I Swing For You". Her creative muse and co-conspirator in these recordings was her second husband, esteemed jazz trumpeter, Pete Candoli, whom she married in 1953. She had one child, a daughter, Tara, with Mr. Candoli in 1954. Pete and Vicky divorced in 1958.
After 1963, Vicky left Hollywood permanently. She passed away in Florida in 1983 at the age of 57. - Ivan Lutanský was born on 19 April 1953 in Prague, Czechoslovakia [now Czech Republic].
