Bart the Bear was perhaps one of Hollywood's most remarkable animal stars. The Alaskan brown bear was born in 1977 and was brought in by Utah animal trainer Doug Seus. Bart started to train in acting in 1980 and grew to 9 feet tall, the average for brown bears.
Bart starred in The Great Outdoors (1988), On Deadly Ground (1994) and The Edge (1997). Bart's co-stars included John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Steven Seagal, Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin, all of whom were very impressed with how well a bear could be trained to act, and enjoyed the experience of working with animals. Sadly, Bart died in 2000 of cancer at the age of 23 during filming of Animal Planet's Growing Up Grizzly (2001). His namesake is Little Bart. Little Bart's sister is named Honey Bump. Their mother was killed and Doug and Lynne Seus took them in. Doug and wife Lynne Seus started the Vital Ground Foundation in honor of Bart, who was the organization's 1st ambassador. The organization was begun to set up lands to preserve the great grizzlies and other wildlife.- Actor

Born in Liberty, Missouri, as Gail Shikles Jr., tall, suave Craig Stevens will forever be remembered for his role as the cool, laid-back private eye Peter Gunn (1958), a ground-breaking show that ushered in the era of tough but smooth private eyes who were handy with their fists and with the ladies, and which also pioneered the use of jazz as not only background music but its main theme song. Stevens was attending Kansas University and planning a career in dentistry when he began performing in student plays at the university. Bitten by the acting bug, he moved to California, and in 1941 was signed by Warner Bros., where he met his future wife, Alexis Smith. Although never a front-rank star, Stevens played many second-leads through the 1940s and 1950s. Sci-fi fans will know him best as the lead in the somewhat cult-classic The Deadly Mantis (1957). With his film career in a rut, he moved over to television, and it was there he made his mark in the landmark "Peter Gunn" series. He made many guest-starring appearances in TV series over the years, had recurring roles in such series as Dallas (1978) and starred in ITC's Man of the World (1962). He retired after a role in his old friend Blake Edwards' 1981 film S.O.B. (1981).- Bill Foster was born on 23 January 1932 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He was an actor, known for The Man Show (1999), Taxi (1978) and That's Incredible! (1980). He was married to Joyce Foster. He died on 10 May 2000 in Santa Monica, California, USA.

Richard W. 'Dick' Sprang (1915-2000) was an American comic book artist and penciller, best known for his work on the superhero Batman during the period fans and historians call "Golden Age" of comic books.
Dick Sprang began his career during the Depression as an advertising artist and sign painter. In the early 1940s, he drew comic books and for the next 20 years, he worked mostly on Batman at DC. He is known for his dramatic cinematic angles and layouts and use of oversized every-day objects as props in the story. It was Sprang who defined Gotham City in the post-war years. His barrel-chested, smiling, square-jawed Caped Crusader seemed equally at home in whatever odd setting the writers threw at him, be it the distant past, the canals of Venice, or outer space. Sprang also contributed numerous vital details to Batman's world, co-creating characters including The Riddler, Tiger Shark, and Killer Moth, redesigning the Batmobile a number of times, and coming up with one of the finest mechanical innovations of the Golden Age: The Jokermobile.
Dick Sprang spent his most productive years in relative anonymity. DC's arrangement with Bob Kane specified that Kane be the only name credited for Batman stories.- Actress

A costume and scenic designer for theatre and film, she was part of the design team known as Motley. Percy and her sister, Sophie Harris, together with their friend Elizabeth Montgomery, made drawings of the actors at the Old Vic theatre in London. They sent the artworks to the theatre, hoping that the theatre would pay for them. Instead, actor and director John Gielgud invited them to design the costumes for his 1932 production of "Romeo and Juliet." This began a long career for the trio and a long association with Gielgud. Working under the collective name Motley, they designed multiple shows for the West End and Broadway. Percy Harris died on May 10, 2000, in Northwood, Hillingdon, London, England.
