- An American newspaperman and information consultant for the U.S. government, Harry Hart Frank used the pseudonym Pat Frank for his fictional writing. Born in Chicago, he began his career in journalism in New York and moved on to Washington. He worked as a correspondent and for the Office of War Information during World War II in Italy, Germany, Austria and Turkey, and later Korea during the Korean War.
After the war years, he wrote novels at his home in Florida. His short story, "The Girl Who Almost Got Away", was the basis for the Howard Hawks film Man's Favorite Sport? (1964) starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss.

Her father was a modest peasant who liked to sing. Young Juanito worked as a goat herder and was soon affectionately known by his neighbors as "the village clock", because he woke them up in the morning singing when arriving with the animals. At 9 he debuted in Montoro's bullfight ring at Córdoba, and at 19 (1926) made his first recordings for the Pathé brand with famed flamenco guitarrist Ramón Montoya. Although not a gypsy by birth, he loved cante jondo and his main influences came from La Niña de los Peines, El Cojo de Málaga and Don Antonio Chacón, to whom Pepe Marchena was later added. In 1932 he toured Spain with the first two of them, and in 1935 came his first film, Rosario la cortijera (1935). He moved with his wife to Madrid and with the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War emigrated to Argentina, where he met singer Trini Morén and left his wife. From then on he toured America and Spain with considerable success with the Romería artistic company. It was during a rehearsal in Viña del Mar (Chile) before coming back to Spain that he died from a stroke in October 1964.
