Dennis Edwards is an American soul and R&B singer who was best known as the frontman in The Temptations, on Motown Records.
Edwards joined the Temptations in 1968, replacing David Ruffin and sang with the group from 1968 to 1976, 1980 to 1984 and 1987 to 1989. In the mid-1980s, he attempted a solo career, scoring a hit in 1984 with "Don't Look Any Further" (featuring Siedah Garrett). Until his death, Edwards was the lead singer of The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards, a Temptations splinter group.
Edwards was portrayed by Charles Ley in the biographical television mini-series The Temptations (1998), though he was not heavily focused upon, as the mini-series gave more attention to the Ruffin/Kendricks-era Temptations lineup. The Temptations Review group was inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame on October 4, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan, when Edwards was also given the Living Legend Award.- Actor

Bernard Zitzermann was born on 19 June 1942 in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, France. He was a cinematographer and writer, known for Molière (1978), La banquière (1980) and Le faucon (1983). He died on 1 February 2018 in Saint-Paulet-de-Caisson, Gard, France.- Born in 1927, Palle Sørensen's life changed dramatically when he was arrested on September 19, 1965 for murdering 4 Danish police officers during a bank robbery in Copenhagen. On August 24, 1966 he was sentenced to prison for life. In Denmark prisoners serving life-time sentences serve a maximum of 16 years, the average has since 1955 been pardoned after 13 years. But Palle Sørensen's case was different. By taking the life of 4 police officers, which no one had ever done before in Denmark, and never has since, he now had not only the court of law against him, but also the Minister of Justice and the entire Danish government. To pardon him even after the maximum of 16 years seemed highly unlikely, and through the 80s and 90s it seemed like he would never regain his freedom. Thus he sat in prison for more than 32 years before he was eventually pardoned in 1997, a few days before he turned 70.

- Herbert Haucke was born in New York City on September 18, 1933. He was raised by his mother when his father, Herbert Haucke Sr., a NYPD patrolman in the 103rd Precinct in Queens, was killed in the line of duty on June 16, 1934.* As a child he spent his summers in Montauk, New York, and is fondly known to Montauk's long-time residents. Herbert has many recollections of camping on the Beach at Hither Hills State Park during World War 2, along with soldiers stationed at Camp Hero who would patrol the beach day and night watching for enemy ships and submarines. As a young adult Herbert became a partner in an insurance firm in New York eventually building it into a highly successful business. His ability to relate to people, his comfort with presentation and public speaking, and his lack of fear and tenaciousness prepared him for the role he played as an aggressive over-the-top salesman who accompanied colleague Murray King on the trip to Las Vegas portrayed in the movie.
"A Hard Day's Night" is credited as the first feature-length Mockumentary, a portmanteau of mock and documentary. This genre depicts fictional events performed in an improvised and unscripted manner to portray either real or fictional persons or subjects in an entertaining and comedic fashion. Music or laugh tracks are rarely used in order to maintain the appearance of reality. "King Murray" is ground breaking in that it portrays real-life people who, although relatively unknown, have unusual or exceptional abilities. Murray King and Herbert Haucke are able to comfortably navigate the fine line between fiction and reality so convincingly you are able to better appreciate the confidence and intensity these men possess, qualities which made them successful and are obvious and succinctly appreciated in "King Murray". - Betty Melville was born in 1929 in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, UK.
