Resistance Fighter Lepa Radić
The Yugoslav Partisan was executed 83 years ago today at the age of 17.
In February 1943, Lepa Radić was captured while organizing a rescue of 150 citizens seeking refuge from the Axis. She attempted to protect them by firing at the Nazi SS forces but was eventually arrested. After 3 days of isolation + torture, during which Radic refused to divulge any information, the Germans sentenced her to death by hanging. Moments before her execution Radic was offered a pardon if she revealed the names. Her response: “I am not a traitor of my people. Those whom you are asking about will reveal themselves when they have succeeded in wiping out all you evildoers, to the last man.”

Brilliant character actor Peter Lorre (1904-1964) born in Hungary of Jewish descent. Having already gained fame for his performance in 1934 German film M directed by Fritz Lange, Lorre's first English language film was Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. At the time Lorre was living in London, having left Germany to escape the Nazi rise in power. He learned his English lines phonetically. American films Mad Love & Crime & Punishment soon followed as well as some iconic horror film performances

Wicked Witch of the West
Producer Mervyn Leroy's original idea for casting the Wicked Witch for The Wizard of Oz was inspired by Disney's adaption of Snow White - he wanted to make her slinky + seductive. He thought he'd found the perfect choice with actress Gale Sondergaard who'd won an Oscar the previous year for her Best Supporting Actress performance in his film Anthony Adverse.
Others however disagreed, thinking witches should be ugly. They attempted to give Sondergaard 'The Ugly Treatment' with make-up, but the actress herself decided she no longer wanted the role."In those days I was not about to make myself ugly! I have no regrets".
Interview, 1980 with Dick Cavett when she was 81
