1928 James Coburn - Actor (Affliction, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, The Great Escape, Our Man Flint, The Last of Sheila, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, The President's Analyst, Hudson Hawk, Charade, The Magnificent Seven) He was also in the Perry Mason episodes The Case of the Envious Editor and The Case of the Angry Astronaut

1948 Actor Robert Mitchum was jailed for possession of marijuana
