He died on 9 October 1994 in Los Angeles, California, USA.- Fred Lebow was born Fischel Lebowitz on June 3, 1932 in Arad, Romania. After surviving the Nazi occupation of Europe during World War II (Lebow and his family were Orthodox Jews), Lebow made his way through Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, and Ireland prior to immigrating to America. Fred attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, New York City. Following brief periods in Cleveland and Kansas City, Lebow eventually returned to New York City and made a name for himself in the garment district marketing knockoffs.
An avid fan of long distance running, Fred joined the New York Road Runners Club in 1969 -- he went on to become the president of this particular club a few years later -- and co-founded the New York City Marathon in 1970, which was initially done as a four lap run through Central Park. The New York City Marathon was expanded to the five boroughs of New York City in the Bicentennial year of 1976. Outside of the New York City Marathon, Fred also organized such events as the Empire State Building Run-Up, the Fifth Avenue Mile, and the L'eggs Mini-Marathon (the latter was the first strictly women's race).
Lebow was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1990. On November 1, 1992 at age sixty Fred ran in the New York City Marathon: Accompanied by longtime friend and champion runner Grete Waitz, who won the New York York City Marathon nine times altogether, Lebow finished the marathon in five hours, thirty-two minutes, and thirty-five seconds. Fred died at age sixty-two on October 9, 1994. During his lifetime Lebow had completed sixty-nine marathons in thirty countries. He was inducted into the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 2001 and the New York Road Runners Hall of Fame in 2011. - Lizalotta Valesca was born as Ragnhild Nyholm on October 2, 1902 in Finland, and is best known in her country of birth for being crowned the first ever Miss Finland, either in 1930 or 1931, the date varies depending on the source. With the onset of WWII she relocated to California, where she worked as a model and uncredited TV and film extra, some sources also names her as TV producer. She married and had two children. Her only known speaking film role was in This Island Earth (1955), where she played a Finnish scientist with a curiously American name. Her only line was "Mozartti on oikein kaunista", Finnish for "The music of Mozart is very beautiful".
Valesca relocated to New York in 1955, where she worked odd jobs in the fashion and entertainment industry, and performed on stage. In 1961 she published a book on health and beauty, as well as sexuality and reproduction. The book, called More Than Beauty... was well received, and Valesca became a popular lecturer, appearing on several TV programs, where she discussed beauty, aging, health and sex.
Valesca belonged to the Swedish-speaking minority of Finland, and thus often gave interviews for Finnish media in English, rather than Finnish, in her later years. - Helen Guthrie was born on 8 April 1930 in Kern, California, USA. She was an actress, known for Waldo's Last Stand (1940). She died on 9 October 1994 in Orange, California, USA.
