Kishore Sahu was born on 22 November 1915 in Raigarh, Madhya Pradesh, India. He was an actor and director, known for Mayurpankh (1954), Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai (1960) and Hare Kanch Ki Chooriyan (1967). He died on 22 August 1980 in Bangkok, Thailand.- Cosmé McMoon (born Cosmé McMunn; February 22, 1901 - August 22, 1980) was a Mexican-American musician, pianist and composer, best known as the accompanist to notably tone-deaf soprano Florence Foster Jenkins.
McMoon was born as Cosmé McMunn in 1901 in Mapimí, Mexico, the son of Maria (Valadez) and Cosme McMunn. His paternal grandparents were Irish.
He moved with his family to San Antonio, Texas around 1911. He moved to New York City around 1920 to further his musical studies, and likely adopted the McMoon surname around that time.
Foster Jenkins met McMoon in the late 1920s, and knowing McMoon was a concert pianist, eventually asked him to help her prepare for her performances and accompany her.
McMoon never ended up making a career in music after Jenkins' death in 1944, and instead took an interest in bodybuilding and judging bodybuilding contests. He resided in New York City until shortly before his death in August 1980. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and moved back to San Antonio, where he was buried.
McMoon was portrayed by actor Donald Corren in Souvenir, a play about Florence Foster Jenkins' career, which ran on Broadway in 2004 and has since been staged in many regional theaters.
He was portrayed by Simon Helberg in the 2016 feature-film about the life of Jenkins titled Florence Foster Jenkins. - Douglas Emery was born on 22 August 1905 in Bromley, Kent, England, UK.

- Alfred Neubauer, born in Neutitschein in 1891, was the only son of a furniture-maker and as he grew up he developed a deep fondness for motors and racing cars, becoming with the years the manager of the Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix racing team from 1926 to 1955 with its famed Silver Arrow cars. While serving in the Austrian Army he started repairing military vehicles, and after WWI joined the Austro-Daimler, where Ferdinand Porsche named him chief tester. He drove in races until in 1926 he changed to racing team manager. This new job consisted in giving information to his pilots during the race using hand signs, flags and boards. Soon the Mercedes-Benz team got advantage over their rivals, specially after Mercedes launched the Silberpfeil (Silver Arrow) design. During the 30s the Silver Arrows were often driven by Rudolf Caracciola, Hermann Lang, Manfred von Brauchitsch and Richard Seaman (as a curiosity, the first three briefly appear together in The Stars Shine (1938) ). Each season Neubauer used to contract some foreign pilot, thus Fagioli, Chiron and Seaman enlarged the successful Mercedes-Benz mainly German team. In 1954 the design of the 300 model was adapted into a new racing car, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, a model which would bring many victories in Grand Prix races, improving by far the pre-war model. Juan Manuel Fangio was under Neubauer's guidance World Champion in 1954 and 1955. Then in 1955 one of the team pilots, Pierre Levegh, had a terrible accident going over the fences onto the crowd and killing more than 80 people, Mercedes withdrew from racing and Neubauer retired from them too. He would remain in charge of Mercedes private drivers' section, training young drivers. He died in Stuttgart in August 1980.
