Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Canadian-American actress Cecilia Parker signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the mid-1930s, after appearing alongside Greta Garbo in "The Painted Veil" (1934). She is best remembered today for her performances in the popular "Andy Hardy" film series in the late 1930s.
