Best, Pete

Drummer. Born in Madras, Nov. 24, 1941. For most general rock fans, the Pete Best story ends on August 16, 1962. That´s when Beatles manager Brian Epstein told the unfortunate drummer that he was being replaced by Ringo Starr, just weeks before the group would record their first single. Most fans don´t know that Best did continue to perform and record for a few years, usually as the leader of his own group, and usually for cheapo companies eager to exploit his notoriety as an ex-Beatle.

Cooper, Patience

Patience Cooper who played the lead in various Madan pictures – Nala Damayanti (1920), Ratnavali (1922) and Noorjehan (1923) to name some was perhaps the first ever Indian female film star. An Anglo-Indian from Calcutta, she appeared in many silent films before switching to talkies with comparative ease. She started as a dancer in Bandmann’s Musical Comedy, a Eurasian troupe before being employed by Madan’s Corinithian Stage Company. Cooper was often cast as the sexually troubled but innocent woman at the center of moral dilemmas, a forerunner to the type of roles played later by Nargis. She also played perhaps the first ever double roles in Hindi films – Patni Pratap (1923), where she played two sisters and Kashmiri Sundari (1924), where she played mother and daughter. A major aspect of her star image was the successful achievement of the ‘Hollywood look’ in spite of different light and technical conditions. Her dark, sharp eyes and skin tone allowed technicians to experiment with the imported convention of eye-level lighting. Cooper’s last film was Iraada (1944).

Born in Calcutta, Sara Corner, comes from an Anglo-Indian family and has studied and lived in Bangalore for about 19 years. Sara Corner, Femina Miss India-World 2001, firmly believes that she has the grace, quietude and beauty of a giraffe – the animal with which she most identifies. “When I won the crown, my first thought was that I’d done my parents proud and overcame a challenge,” she says, recalling the big moment. And the biggest part of that challenge, Sara feels, was to keep reminding herself and believing that she was a winner – whether she won or lost the crown.
