Handsome, charming, and versatile actor Ray Lovelock was born on June 19, 1950 in Rome, Italy to an Italian mother and English father. Lovelock's father was an allied British soldier who in 1944 liberated Italy from a fascist regime. Ray's father met and eventually married his mother while stationed in Italy. Lovelock was the third of four sons and the only artist of the quartet. Ray first became interested in acting while attending college as a teenager. He began as an extra in both movies and TV commercials to make extra money. An acting agent discovered Ray performing in the Roman nightclub the Piper in a rock band with longtime friend and fellow thespian Tomas Milian. This led to his first role in the spaghetti Western Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967).
However, it was Ray's part in the hugely successful The Violent Four (1968) that really launched his acting career. Lovelock was fine as David, a free-spirited hippie drifter who falls under the seductive spell of three sexy witches in the eerie Queens of Evil (1970) (besides playing the lead in this picture, Ray also sang the haunting folk theme song. Lovelock sung the title tracks for many films that he appeared in throughout the years.) He was likewise excellent as reluctant hero George in the terrific zombie horror cult classic Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974) and as Mimsy Farmer's smooth race car driver lover Edgar in the morbid giallo Autopsy (1975). Ray gave a memorably slimy performance as apathetic criminal gang leader Aldo in the brutal The Last House on the Beach (1978). Lovelock had a recurring role as surgeon Dr. Hans Rudolf on the Italian TV series "Incantesimo." His wife Gioia was also his agent. They met in 1968 and got married in 1970. Their daughter Francesca Lovelock was born in 1971 and works as an assistant director and production manager in Naples. An avid soccer lover, Ray served as the captain of an Italian actors soccer team who played soccer matches to raise money for charity. Lovelock died of cancer at age 67 on November 10, 2017.- Erika Remberg was born on 15 February 1932 in Medan, Oostkust van Sumatra, Dutch East Indies [now Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia].

Leah Weatherby, the daughter of Cecil T. and Iva Gingrich Weatherby, was one of fewer than 2,800 women in the United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. After completing boot camp at Parris Island, she was assigned duties at Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia where the Marine Corps put her photographic skills to use taking pictures of VIPs in Washington, D.C. and at Arlington National Cemetery.
As a civilian, she had been working in photography at Cornell University, and it was at this time that she did a bit of modeling as well. While visiting a Crosley automobile showroom in Ithaca, New York with a friend who was looking to make a new-car purchase, a photographer who happened to be at that dealership spotted Leah and offered her the on-camera 'Miss Crosley' part at the 1952 Waldorf-Astoria Auto Show.
Another military assignment involved photographing aerial scenes of the nation's capital from a helicopter with only a strap across the door to keep her in the aircraft. A transfer to Quantico followed and Leah's camera skills then were utilized taking identification photos of students entering the Officer Candidate School, and since she considered that duty boring, her request for a transfer back to Henderson Hall was granted and Weatherby returned to Arlington and a one-week duty to the funeral detail at Arlington National Cemetery. On her first day there, eleven funerals - all Marines who had been killed in Korea - were held.
In 1953, following a transfer to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, Leah met and married James Newcomb, a musician in the Marine Corps band, and though his hitch ended the next year they spent twenty-three more years together as a Marine Corps couple at bases in California, Pennsylvania, Hawaii and North Carolina. She always looked back fondly at her service years, naming her time in Hawaii as a favorite and specifying the years of camaraderie as most enjoyable, saying that the relatively few women in the military at the time were treated well. - Marianne Opitz was born on 5 October 1938 in Germany. She was an actress, known for Die Drehscheibe (1964) and Die Super-Hitparade der Volksmusik (1983). She died on 10 November 2017 in Wernigerode, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
