Francisco de Asís Palacios Ortega, better known as "El Pali", was born on May 22, 1928 in the central neighborhood of La Casa de la Moneda in Seville and died in his hometown on June 21, 1988 at the age of 60 years. The nickname seems to be that it comes to him because in his youth he was thin as a "toothpick"; nothing to do with the image with which he is identified in the photographs of his albums, since "El Pali" over time gained weight, and had to alleviate his myopia with glasses whose magnifying glasses were known as "bottle ass ". El Pali is also known as "El Trovador de Sevilla" (The Troubadour from Seville), a nickname coined because the traditions of the people who saw him born are the central theme of many of his Sevillanas, traditions that he knew, and seeing them disappeared, he wanted gloss in his lyrics to bequeath them to Sevillians who knew him and future generations, who will undoubtedly know his voice.- Margaret St. Barbe West was born on 14 April 1903 in Chelsea, London, England, UK. She was an actress, known for Softly Softly (1966), Urge to Kill (1960) and Three Men in a Boat (1956). She died on 21 June 1988 in Limington, Somerset, England, UK.

For nearly 35 years, starting in 1928, the Meglin Kiddies Studios taught singing, dancing, and acting to children, catapulting many into prominent, even starring roles on stage and in the movies. In time, it became a source of talent from which Hollywood's studios reliably drew whenever the need arose for kids who could perform in front of an audience or a camera. The eponymous founder, who guided her studio and its cast of young aspirants, was Ethel Marie Meglin, born Ethel Marie Redman in Cincinnati, Ohio. She started out teaching dance in Cincinnati before moving to New York where she landed a spot in Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.'s Follies. It was in New York that she changed her married name, Moegling, to Meglin, just to make it simpler for people to spell and pronounce, not to mention that the change was easier to put on a marquee. By 1920, she had moved to Los Angeles and was renting office space near her home from Mack Sennett. It was in this venue that she first opened a dance studio for kids. Having gradually attracted approximately 30 young enrollees to her program, she sought to attract someone in show business who could utilize the talents of this group. One such producer liked what he saw, but insisted he needed at least 100 kids. Ethel instructed her students to entice their brothers and sisters into joining up. The rest is history. Eventually, the likes of Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, the Gumm Sisters (Judy Garland being one of them), and Mickey Rooney found their way to the Meglin Kiddies Studio and beyond. While most of her students failed to achieve stardom, all of them received exposure to the possibilities and at one time or another performed on a stage or in front of a camera. The actors playing the Parisian kids that Gene Kelly befriends in An American in Paris (1951) were all Meglin Kiddies. Through various business deals, she managed to extend her reach with the opening of more than 100 studios nationwide. It was not until the death of her husband Richard in 1962 that Ethel Meglin closed the last of her studios. She spent her remaining years in retirement in Dana Point, California, where she died peacefully at the age of 98 in 1988.- Barry Lovett was born on 11 October 1935 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. He was an actor, known for Summer of Secrets (1976), On the Run (1982) and For the Term of His Natural Life (1983). He died on 21 June 1988 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
