Jones was born on 28 February, 1942, to Lewis and Louise Jones. He had two sisters, Pamela and Barbara. Pamela died when Brian was still a child. He fathered his first of several children in high school and was subsequently made to leave. In the early 1960s, Brian formed the legendary group, The Rolling Stones. He even gave the group their name and booked their first gigs, working also as their manager for a short time. In 1965, Brian met and fell for stunning model Anita Pallenberg. They began a torrid affair. He composed the music to her film debut, A Degree of Murder (1967) ("Degree of Murder"). He also began drinking and experimenting with drugs. In 1967, Anita left Brian for his bandmate, Keith Richards. Brian fell deeper into drugs and depression. Brian was slowly withdrawing from his social life and his band into isolation. In November 1968, Brian purchased "Cotchford Farm", the house was formerly occupied by A.A. Milne, author of the "Winnie-the-Pooh" tales. The following month, he made his last public appearance with the Stones for their "Rock and Roll Circus" special. In June of 1969, Brian and the Stones parted ways. By then, Brian had started to clean up and was planning on forming another group. But on the 3rd of July, Brian was dragged unconscious from his swimming pool and later pronounced dead. He was 27. Mystery still surrounds his untimely death. Some believe it was drugs, some believe an asthma attack, and some even believe he was murdered. In 1999, Brian's ex-girlfriend, Anna Wohlin, who was with him on the night he died, wrote a book stating that Brian was murdered by a friend who had been doing some work to his property. In 1996, some of Brian's fans and friends collaborated and founded the "Brian Jones Fan Club".- Stunts

Edward R. Alperson was an ambitious 39-year old manager of a film exchange when he decided to organize a new studio he called Grand National in 1936. The company headquartered in New York City with the First Division Picture Exchange as it's distribution arm and received a tremendous boost when Warner Brothers' prime star, James Cagney, walked over long standing disputes with Jack L. Warner. Alperson dangled a lucrative offer at Cagney and he signed on, knowing that Warner could effectively blackball him from working at a major studio. With Cagney on board, Alperson flew into high gear. Aging cowboy superstar Tom Mix (by then a far flung circus owner in serious financial straights) rented out his home to Grand National as their Hollywood headquarters while Alperson set about creating an all-important image for his new company, signing on producers and developing projects. Things began well for Grand National... the company initially made profitable films that, if not of the same caliber as that of the majors, were fast paced and enjoyable B's. Cagney scored decent returns with Great Guy (1936) although it was somewhat of a shock to see him in a film with such obviously low production values. Alperson spent $25,000 for the rights of a sure-fire Cagney hit, 'Angels Wth Dirty Faces' but despite all pleading from his associates, opted to produce Something to Sing About (1937) next. It proved a devastating mistake for Grand National, production costs soared to $900,000 and the film, easily Cagney's worst of the 30's, immediately flopped. The fledgling company was ruined. Creditors were held at bay for most of 1938 while production was cut back to a dozen or so features of declining quality and the company, bleeding red ink at the rate of $35,000 a week, failed in 1939, with over $700,000 in outstanding debts. Alperson resigned as the studio's head on Feb. 25, 1939.- Clyde Hudkins was born on 20 July 1894 in Valparaiso, Nebraska, USA. He was an actor, known for The American Parade (1974). He died on 3 July 1969 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
