Question: Do both films The Stranger (video series) and Linda (1929 film) have the directors that share the same nationality?

He was one of a small group of Southern newspaper editors who campaigned for civil rights for African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s. William Calhoun Baggs( b. 1923-1969) was an American journalist and editor of" The Miami News"( 1957 to 1969). Baggs became an early opponent of the Vietnam War. <SEP> " For the 1929 film see The Laughing Lady( 1929 film)" The Laughing Lady is a 1946 British Technicolor musical drama film directed by Paul L. Stein and starring Anne Ziegler, Webster Booth and Francis L. Sullivan. Based on a play by Ingram D'Abbes, its plot follows a young aristocrat who makes a deal with Robespierre during the French Revolution. <SEP> The series began in 1991 with" Summoned by Shadows", co-produced with the BBC Film Club as a knowing homage to the long- running British science fiction television series" Doctor Who"( of which BBV founder Bill Baggs was a fan) and in a pragmatic attempt to take advantage of the consequent pre-existing audience. The Stranger is a series of direct- to- video( and audio CD) science- fiction dramas produced by BBV and starring Colin Baker. They are now available on DVD. " Summoned by Shadows" is a" Who"- style tale of strange doings in an unspecified time period on Earth featuring three actors known for their roles in" Doctor Who" and playing similar characters. The unnamed protagonist( listed in the credits as" The Stranger") is played by Colin Baker, his assistant Miss Brown by Nicola Bryant, who had played the Doctor's assistant Peri Brown opposite Colin Baker for two years, and the villain of the piece by Michael Wisher, who had been the first actor to play Davros. The second story," More than a Messiah", adapted the" Doctor Who" Audio Visuals story of the same name, but with the Stranger and Miss Brown substituted for the Doctor and companion Ria( who was modelled after Peri). In a further connection, it co-starred Sophie Aldred, better known as Ace from" Doctor Who", and Peter Miles, who had co-starred( opposite Wisher) in the TV serial" Genesis of the Daleks" – both in completely different roles. " In Memory Alone", the third film, found the Stranger and Miss Brown stranded without their mysterious transport( never seen) in a desolate train station with amnesia, and battling a robot and a mysterious man played by Nicholas Briggs( who also wrote the film along with others in the" Stranger" series). Most releases of this film( including VHS) include a behind- the- scenes featurette and a blooper reel. While the first three may be( and often were) taken as" Doctor Who" by another name, the departure of the Miss Brown character( for which Nicola Bryant does not speak with Peri Brown's American accent) and the Stranger himself being likewise" returned to his proper time and place" at the story's conclusion allowed for a move to clarify" The Stranger"'s status as separate work of fiction and developed an identity of its own. The adventures of the Stranger ran in all to six videos( and four audio dramas, although the second audio drama was much the same as the sixth video). <SEP> Margaret Prescott( or Preston) Montague( 29 November 1878 – 26 September 1955) was an American short story writer, and novelist. Her middle name is sometimes attributed as Preston before changing to Prescott. Her work appeared in" Harper's" among other places. Her novels were adapted into the films" Linda( 1929) Calvert's Valley( 1922) Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge( 1920)" and" Seeds of Vengeance( 1920)". <SEP> Born into a family of film performers, Davenport had her own independent career before her marriage to the film actor and director Wallace Reid in 1913. Reid's star rose steadily, making feature films at a pace of one every seven weeks, until 1919 when a dose of morphine administered for an injury on location grew into an addiction. Reid died in January 1923 at the age of 31. Davenport took her own story as source material and co-produced" Human Wreckage"( 1923), in which she was billed as" Mrs. Wallace Reid" and played the role of a drug addict's wife. She advertised the film in terms of a moral crusade. Davenport followed its success with other social- conscience films on other topics," Broken Laws"( 1924) and" The Red Kimono"( 1925), with expensive litigation connected with the latter. While Davenport's own production company dissolved in the late 1920s, she continued to take on smaller writing and directing roles. In 1929 Davenport directed" Linda" a film about a woman who gives up her happiness for the sake of men and social expectations. Fannie Dorothy Davenport( March 13, 1895 – October 12, 1977) was an American actress, screenwriter, film director and producer. Davenport directed her last film in 1934; however, she continued in the film industry in other roles until her last known credit in 1956 as dialogue supervisor of" The First Traveling Saleslady". Davenport died in October 1977 at the age of 82. <SEP> Linda is a 1929 American drama film directed by Dorothy Davenport.
