Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Romanian-born stage and film actress Tala Birell gained fame in Europe as a stage actress, and enjoyed several smaller roles in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. She is perhaps best remembered today for her performance in "Crime and Punishment" (1935).
