- Harry Jackson was born on 21 March 1923 in Pelham Manor, New York, USA. He was an actor, known for The Power of the Resurrection (1958), The Joseph Cotten Show: On Trial (1955) and The Twilight Zone (1959). He was married to Kathy Marlowe. He died on 30 July 1973 in New York City, New York, USA.
- Lean, jaunty British character actor with military-style moustache and easy manner who specialised in playing dapper scoundrels, philanderers, dissipated bon vivants and con artists in a career lasting three and a half decades. Born in Hove, East Sussex, he spent two years working on the London stock exchange before making his move to acting. On stage from 1928, he was initially cast as outright villains. He landed his first worthy part in the George Formby musical comedy Keep Fit (1937), establishing his typical screen personae playing the role of Brian Curtis in Terence Rattigan's French Without Tears (1940) (having previously appeared in the original London stage production in November 1936). Ironically, Middleton seems to have relished his lady-killer image in real life since he was at the time involved with the wife of co-star Rex Harrison - himself no stranger to extra-marital affairs.
Well in the groove as raffish playboy, silly-ass, jolly RAF-type or shady double-dealer, Middleton was consistently excellent in support during the 40's and 50's: as Fogroy in Notorious Gentleman (1945); as debonair games master Victor Hyde-Brown in The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950); as womanizing cad Simon Russell, behind the wheel of a sporty jalopy, in Laughter in Paradise (1951); or as Victor Manifold, plying his buddies with bootleg whiskey, in Young Wives' Tale (1951). He was also the initial choice for the part of Amrose Claverhouse for the film Genevieve (1953) but lost out to Kenneth More. On television, he partnered Hylda Baker (in drag) as 'Cynthia', in the stand-up comedy show Be Soon (1957). His final role of note was as a senior general in Richard Attenborough's Oh! What a Lovely War (1969). Middleton retired in 1970 and died three years later at the age of 66. - Alonso de Córdova was born on 8 July 1936 in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. He was an actor, known for Besito a Papa (1961) and Pecado de juventud (1962). He died on 30 July 1973 in Yautepec, Morelos, Mexico.
- Roy Shuman was born on 18 August 1924 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA. He was an actor, known for Search for Tomorrow (1951), As the World Turns (1956) and The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight (1971). He was married to Alice. He died on 30 July 1973 in New York City, New York, USA.
- Lech Madalinski was born on 4 July 1900 in Samter, Prussia, Germany [now Szamotuly, Wielkopolskie, Poland]. He was an actor, known for Wraki (1957), Zaloga (1952) and Pierwsze dni (1952). He died on 30 July 1973 in Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland.
