Previous letter (D) | A-Z Index | Next letter (F)

Earl Jones, Robert Born 3 February 1911  (Coldwater, Mississippi, USA) Former prize fighter, bit-part actor, and father of James Earl Jones, who has enjoyed more big-screen success than his father. Dave's Dead, Aye Dead Drunk Eat My Dust

Eastwood, Clint Born 31 May 1930  (San Francisco, California, USA) College dropout son of a steelworker who made it big in spaghetti westerns and has been playing hard men ever since. Starred in the film which gave the DDP its name, so it will be truly ironic if he turns out to be a points scorer. The Coffin-Dodgers Dead Beat Lived So Let's Die Mean Machine Six Foot Under

Ecevit, Bulent Born 28 May 1925  (Istanbul, Turkey) Turkish politician who had a bit of a rollercoaster career, being Prime Minister 4 times, but also banned from politics for 10 years at one point and banged up in prison by the military a couple of times.
