1914 Joe Louis - US boxer known as The Brown Bomber. He was the world heavyweight champion for a record-setting 12 years, from 1937 to 1949. Detroit's Joe Louis Arena is named after him. He was born in Lafayette, Alabama

Whenever one of his fights was shown on TV (usually just a film) I'd watch with my dad, and I remember that he looked like one of mechanical boxers he was so focused.

1949 Zoë Wanamaker – Actress

Always enjoyed her performances.
