Gottfried von Cramm
Gottfried Alexander Maximilian Walter Kurt Freiherr von Cramm (English: Baron Gottfried von Cramm, ; 7 July 1909 – 8 November 1976), was a German amateur tennis champion who won the French Open twice.
He was ranked number 2 in the world in 1934 and 1936, and number 1 in the world in 1937.
He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1977, an organisation which considers that he is "most remembered for a gallant effort in defeat against Don Budge in the 1937 Interzone Final at Wimbledon".
Cramm represented Germany during the rise of the Nazi party to power in the 1930s.
The Nazi regime attempted to exploit his appearance and skill as a symbol of Aryan supremacy, but he refused to identify with Nazism.
He was persecuted as a homosexual by the German government and was jailed briefly in 1938.
Cramm figured briefly in the gossip columns as the sixth husband of Barbara Hutton, the Woolworth heiress.
Barbara Hutton
Barbara Woolworth Hutton (November 14, 1912 – May 11, 1979) was an American debutante, socialite, heiress and philanthropist.
She was dubbed the "Poor Little Rich Girl," first when she was given a lavish and expensive debutante ball in 1930, amid the Great Depression, and later due to a notoriously troubled private life.
Heiress to one-third of the estate of the retail tycoon Frank Winfield Woolworth, Barbara Hutton was one of the wealthiest women in the world.
She endured a childhood marked by the early loss of her mother at age four to suicide and the neglect of her father, setting the stage for a life of difficulty forming relationships.
Married and divorced seven times, she acquired grand foreign titles but was maliciously treated and often exploited by several of her husbands.
While publicly she was much envied for her possessions, her beauty and her apparent life of leisure, privately she remained deeply insecure, often taking refuge in drink, drugs, and playboys.
Hutton had one child, Lance Reventlow, with her second husband, but was an inconsistent and insecure parent and the subsequent divorce ended in a bitter custody battle.
She later developed anorexia nervosa and perhaps thereby prevented further childbirth.
Her son died in a plane crash in 1972 at the age of 36, leaving her devastated.
She died on May 11, 1979, at age 66.
At her death, the formerly wealthy Hutton was on the verge of bankruptcy as a result of both lavish spending and exploitation by those entrusted to manage her estate.
Manasse Herbst
Manasse Herbst( 1 November 1913 in Galicia, Austria -Hungary – 3 January 1997 in Hallandale, Florida, US) was a German- speaking silent movie actor, child- actor, theater actor and singer.
He participated in 416 sold- out performances of the operetta White Horse Inn between 1930 and 1932 in Berlin.
During the first half of the 1930s Herbst had a relationship with the German Baron Gottfried von Cramm, one of the most popular tennis players of the time.
Because of this, von Cramm was sentenced in a Nazi propaganda trial which was recognized all over the world.
Due to his Jewish background and the Nazi prohibition to perform his job Herbst had to flee from Germany in 1936.
Later he became a US citizen.
