With a rich history in show business, it was only natural for George Golden to follow in his families footsteps. His father was George Fuller Golden who was a well-known Vaudeville actor and his sisters were well known actors.
Unlike his sister Olive Carey, George's career consisted of countless appearances as an extra and he rarely had credited. His big strapping appearance made him a natural candidate to appear in countless films as police officers and military personnel throughout the 1940s.

Born on Judy Garland's birthday, John Rothermel was known as a historical design specialist, researching and documenting furniture and industrial design. An interest in music, acting and public speaking began in grade school. After graduation from West High School in Minneapolis he won a scholarship to the Minneapolis School of Art and Design based on a self-portrait and nine other paintings submitted for competition. To San Francisco he came in 1966 and lived in the Haight-Ashbury. In the days before the term "art deco" was coined, Rothermel became a pioneer collector of the objets d'art that were first made famous at the 1925 Paris Exposition. His curiosity for this period of design also paved the way for a sporadic yet sensational singing and acting career in San Francisco. His enviable collection of original 1920s - '40s records won him the reputation as an expert in popular music and his repertoire of 1930s songs was vast. Rothermel became an important member of San Francisco's notorious Cockettes when his appearances would stop the shows. Some of his roles were "Madge the Magnificent," "Violet Raye," "Miss Crabtee," "Petruchka" and "Roxie Ritz." Because of his talent at assembling stylish period style costumes, he was a favorite with fashion photographers. In 1971 during the Cockettes' first and last appearance in New York, the French magazine "Zoom" singled out Rothermel for a color cover. His irreverent portrayal of Mamie Eisenhower is a highlight of the underground film Tricia's Wedding (1971). With pianist Peter Mintun he performed on TV, radio in nightclubs and in concert. He occasionally sang publicly after moving to New York City in 1979 and privately bought and sold hundreds of mid-century artifacts. He also catalogued items for a New York auction house. Clients from all over the country relied on Rothermel's expertise for the documentation and verification of 20th Century designs. A few weeks after his death, Rothermel's estate bequeathed three rare architectural models designed by renowned architect William Lescaze to the New York Museum of Modern Art.- Ray Harden was born on 9 April 1923 in London, England, UK.
