Born June 3, 1905 in Great Neck, New York, United States.
[Died] April 23, 1990. Ronco, Switzerland. American actress. Real name Pauline Marion Goddard Levy. At the age of 16, she made her debut as a chorus girl in a Broadway revue. After getting married and divorced within the next four years, she moved to Hollywood to pursue a movie career. There, she caught the eye of Charlie Chaplin, and they soon began living together. After receiving acting instruction from Chaplin, she co-starred with him in Modern Times (1936). She attracted attention for playing a lively girl who becomes the companion of Chaplin's famous character, the Little Tramp. After this, she received many offers to appear in films, but she missed out on the opportunity to play the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) because her marital status with Chaplin was unclear. She co-starred with Chaplin again in The Great Dictator (1940), but they divorced in 1942 without disclosing their marital status. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a military nurse in "So Proudly We Hail!" (1943), her only Academy Award nomination. In 1958, she married the writer Erich Maria Remarque and moved to Switzerland, where she lived as a private citizen.

Born October 5, 1882 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
[Died] August 10, 1945, Annapolis. American physicist and rocket researcher. After studying at Worcester Polytechnic, he graduated from Clark University in Worcester in 1911, where he became a professor of physics. Influenced by the science fiction novels of H.G. Wells, he became passionately interested in space travel from his childhood. Although he was behind the Russian K.E. Tsiolkovsky, he published his famous paper "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes" in 1919. After mathematically examining the efficiency of various liquid fuels, he completed a rocket that ran on liquid oxygen and gasoline in 1925, and in 1926 successfully launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket at the Auburn Experimental Farm in Massachusetts. In the 1930s, he was engaged in rocket research at the Roswell Experimental Farm in New Mexico with research funding from the Guggenheim Foundation, and from 1941 at the Naval Technical Laboratory in Annapolis, but he died suddenly. He held over 200 rocket-related patents, and his pioneering work was highly recognized posthumously.
