Amazing to think that there are several folk in there that are still household names, almost three quarters of a century after their deaths. Lovely stuff.

Cesare Pavese, writer, poet, a very sensitive person, but also so very unlucky in love

It's true, Cesare Pavese's personal life was quite tumultuous.

Alan Hale should really be referred to as Alan Hale Snr to distinguish him from his son, Alan Hale Jnr, who was also a noted character actor, especially in TV roles (Gilligan's Island, Casey Jones)

A lot of people then smoked heavily, drank and living into 50s or 60s then was considered more full life compared to now where people are living well into 80s and 90s or so. I have one grandfather left who is 90 years old but is currently in hospice.

Whats the name of the song playing? thanks

1950 was the year I was born. Most of these people were younger than me when they died. Heart attack was the most common cause.

In 1952, two years after the great Grover Cleveland Alexander passed, he was portrated in the movie "The Winning Team" by none other than Ronald Reagan. Great movir for its time
