Charles Ainslie Crichton (6 August 1910 – 14 September 1999) was an English film director and editor.
 Born in Wallasey, Cheshire, he became best known for directing many comedies produced at Ealing Studios and had a 40-year career editing and directing many films and television programmes.
 For the acclaimed comedy "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988), Crichton was nominated for both the Academy Award for Best Director and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay (along with the film's star John Cleese).

 Born in 1896 in Denver, Colorado, he would appear in his first film in 1919, "The Adventure Shop".
 Early in his career he would have larger roles, often as the rival love interest to the main character, but his roles would get smaller and smaller as time went on.
 By 1933 he was relegated to what amounted to as bit parts, with his character often being unnamed.
 Over his 25-year career he would appear in over 60 films, the last of which was in a small role in 1944's "Once Upon a Time", starring Cary Grant, Janet Blair, and James Gleason.

 Her songs were recorded by the Ink Spots, Louis Prima, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, the Andrews Sisters, Pearl Bailey, the Mills Brothers and Ella Fitzgerald amongst others.
This is a list of character-based film series, in which many films are made about the same main character, who may or may not be played by different actors over the course of the series.
 The individual films of a film series may be produced or directed by different people over many years.
 In more extreme examples, the main character may be repeatedly "killed off" and brought back through fake-outs and other plot devices.
Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Cansino; October 17, 1918May 14, 1987) was an American actress and dancer.
 She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars, appearing in a total of 61 films over 37 years.
 The press coined the term "love goddess" to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s.
 She was the top pin-up girl for GIs during World War II.
In the 1946 film "Gilda", Rita Hayworth wore a black dress made by American costume designer Jean Louis.
 It was used in one of the most famous scenes of the film: one in which the character of Gilda sings the song "Put the Blame on Mame", improvising a quick striptease, choreographed by Jack Cole.
 The dress has helped consolidate the image of the "femme fatale", as well as being universally recognized as an icon of fashion and cinema. "
The Independent" named it as one of the Ten Best Fashion Moments in Film.
