Arthur Penn, director of many films, including “Bonnie and Clyde” and the unfortunate “Penn and Teller Get Killed”. (I bow to nobody in my admiration for Penn and Teller, but I hated that movie.)

Robert C. Truax, a for-real rocket scientist. At one point, he was building a sub-orbital rocket in his backyard; he also worked with Evel Knievel on the Snake River jump.
