Anne Boleyn (Anne Bullen) was the second wife of Henry VIII. She was born in 1501 or 1507 and died in 1536. She was the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk.
She attended Mary, sister of Henry, on her marriage with Louis XII., to France, as lady of honour, returning to England about 1522, and becoming lady of honour to Queen Catherine. The king, who soon grew passionately enamoured of her, without waiting for the official completion of his divorce from Catherine, married Anne in January, 1533, having previously created her Marchioness of Pembroke. When her pregnancy revealed the secret, Thomas Cranmer declared the first marriage void and the second valid, and Anne was crowned at Westminster with unparalleled splendour. On September the 7th, 1533, she gave birth to a baby girl who was to become Elizabeth I.
She was speedily, however, in turn supplanted by her own lady of honour, Jane Seymour. Suspicions of infidelity were alleged against her, and in 1536 the queen was brought before a jury of peers on a charge of treason and adultery. Smeaton, a musician, who was arrested with others, confessed that he had enjoyed her favours, and on May the 17th she was condemned to death. The clemency of Henry VIII went no further than the substitution of the scaffold for the stake, and she was beheaded on May the 19th, 1536. Whether she was guilty or not has never been decided; that she was exceedingly indiscreet is certain. Five hundred years later demands were made for her to be granted a royal pardon on the grounds that charges against her were obviously fabricated by the king who simply wanted to be rid of her.

Benjamin McLane Spock is an American paediatrician and writer on child care. He was born in 1903. His 'Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care' written in 1946 urged less rigidity in bringing up children than had been advised by previous generations of writers on the subject, but this was misunderstood as advocating permissiveness. In his later work he stressed that his common- sense approach had not implied rejecting all discipline, but that his main aim was to give parents the confidence to trust their own judgement rather than rely on books by experts who did not know a particular child.

Hannah Snell was an English adventurer. She was born in 1723 at Worcester and died in 1792. Deserted by her Dutch sailor husband when she was twenty years old and seven moths pregnant, she set forth, following the death of her baby, disguised as a man to find him and enlisted in the army under the name James Gray, her brother-in-law. She subsequently deserted from the army and joined the navy where she saw action in the East Indies and fought at the siege of Pondicherri. Strangely, on one occasion she was stripped to the waist and flogged, the boatswain taking notice of her breasts seemed surprised, but like the rest of the crew had no suspicion of her sex and her true identity remained secret. Upon her return to Britain in 1750 she heard that her husband had been executed for murder, and she resumed her appearance as a woman, published an account of her adventures and made a living in the theatre singing sea shanties before opening a public house in Wapping, called 'The Widow in Masquerade'.

Larry Fishburne (real name Lawrence Fishburne III, also known as Laurence Fishburne) is an American actor. He was born in 1961 at Augusta, Georgia. When he was only a baby his mother moved with him to Brooklyn, New York. His English teacher godfather had known his talents early in his life, just as it happened with his mother, who started dragging him around to a series of auditions at the New Federal Theatre and the Negro Ensemble Theater in Manhattan. He made his stage debut at age of ten in New York, and started his first television role in 1973 at the age of eleven. By the age of twelve, he had his first small movie role; and at 14-years-old, he falsified about his age and scored a career fighting role in Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now', the filming of which was to be a life-altering experience for the untrained, underage newcomer. Not only did he co-star big with such stars as Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall in his second debut film, however, he braved monsoons, civil unrest and possess
other unseen bad situations. Research Larry Fishburne
