Born in Florida and raised in New York City, Harrison studied acting at the High School of Performing Arts and later at the famed Actors Studio, where she honed her craft in method acting. Beyond her film debut, she worked steadily in television during the 1950s and ’60s, appearing in series such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Perry Mason, and The Twilight Zone.

Although her film career was brief, Susan Harrison was admired for her sensitivity and poise as an actress. She chose to step away from Hollywood in the 1960s to focus on family life and other creative pursuits, including writing. Take a look at these fabulous portraits of young Susan Harrison in the 1950s and 1960s.

The crown and other Regalia remained in Vienna until the Anschluss of March 1938, when they were brought back to Nuremberg (this time in the Katharinenkirche) by Nazi Germany in line with their promotion of the city as repository of mythicized ancient German traditions. During World War II the crown was placed in the Historischer Kunstbunker, an underground vault of Nuremberg Castle.

The UDLX’s striking Art Deco styling included chrome accents and bold yellow paint that made it visually distinctive in any field. Under the hood, a 283 cubic inch four-cylinder engine produced about 40 horsepower and could propel the tractor to road speeds of 40 mph, making it suitable for both fieldwork and trips to town.

Despite its innovation, the UDLX failed commercially. Its $2,155 price tag (equivalent to a new Cadillac) proved prohibitive during the Great Depression era, resulting in only about 125 units produced. Today, these rare machines are highly sought after by collectors, with roughly 100 examples known to survive.

These amazing photos highlight the bold design and modern comforts of the UDLX—an ambitious machine that redefined what a tractor could be.

Gardner’s record attempt was attended by Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William C. Dement, while his health was monitored by Lt. Cmdr. John J. Ross. A log was kept by two of Gardner’s classmates from Point Loma High School, Bruce McAllister and Joe Marciano Jr. Accounts of Gardner’s sleep deprivation experience and medical response became widely known among the sleep research community.

It has been claimed that Gardner’s experiment demonstrated that extreme sleep deprivation has little effect, other than the mood changes associated with tiredness, primarily due to a report by researcher William C. Dement, who stated that on the tenth day of the experiment, Gardner had been, among other things, able to beat Dement at pinball. However, contrary to this, Lieutenant Commander John J. Ross, who monitored his health, reported serious cognitive and behavioral changes. These included moodiness, problems with concentration and short-term memory, paranoia, and hallucinations. On the eleventh day, when he was asked to subtract seven repeatedly, starting with 100, he stopped at 65. When asked why he had stopped, he replied that he had forgotten what he was doing.

On his final day, Gardner presided over a press conference where he appeared to be in excellent health. “I wanted to prove that bad things didn’t happen if you went without sleep,” said Gardner. “I thought, ‘I can break that record and I don’t think it would be a negative experience.’”

Nichols began her career as a model before moving into acting. She was particularly recognized for her comedic roles, often portraying brassy, good-hearted characters. Some of her notable film appearances include Sweet Smell of Success (1957) where she played Rita, a nightclub dancer, and Pal Joey (1957).

On television, she made numerous guest appearances on popular shows of the era, including The Beverly Hillbillies, The Untouchables, and The Twilight Zone.

Despite her success, Nichols struggled with health issues later in life, and her career faded in the late 1960s. She passed away in 1976 at the age of 47. Take a look at these stunning photos to see the beauty of a young Barbara Nichols in the 1950s.

The story follows a French actress, played by Emmanuelle Riva, who is in Hiroshima filming a movie about peace. She has an intense, brief affair with a Japanese architect, played by Eiji Okada. Their conversations form the core of the film, as they share their painful pasts and the trauma of war.

The film is famous for its use of flashbacks and a fragmented, non-linear timeline. It explores themes of memory, forgetting, love, and the devastating impact of historical events like the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Resnais masterfully blends documentary footage of the city with the fictional love story, creating a powerful meditation on both personal and collective grief.

Take a look at these vintage photos capturing the romantic moments of Emmanuelle Riva and Eiji Okada from Hiroshima mon amour (1959).
