Bruce McCandless II (born 8 June 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA; died 21 December 2017 in Los Angeles, California, USA) was a United States Navy officer and aviator, electrical engineer, and NASA astronaut. In 1984, during the first of his two Space Shuttle missions (STS-41-B), he completed the first untethered spacewalk by using the Manned Maneuvering Unit. His other mission was STS-31 in 1990.

Shirley Eaton (born 12 January 1937 in Edgware, Middlesex, England) is an English actress and model, celebrated in her heyday as a major sex symbol.

Franklin Roy Bruno, MBE (born 16 November 1961 in Wandsworth, London, England) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1982 to 1996. He had a highly publicised and eventful career, both in and out of the ring.
