The director and actor Andre Gregory was born on May 11, 1934, to a family he describes as fugitives from Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. Gregory was born in a hotel in Paris, his mother reportedly having just played cards with the Turkish ambassador. His childhood was spent in Hollywood amongst the stars of the 1940s. Gregory attended Harvard and then studied acting, but was unable to find his feet in that profession. Theatrical success finally came to Gregory as a director in the avant-garde theater in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and New York. By the late 1960s he had established himself as a prominent director in New York experimental theater, collaborating with such luminaries as the legendary Polish director Jerzy Grotowski. Probably the most remarkable achievement in this early summit of Gregory's career came in 1970 when his theater group, The Manhattan Project, staged "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in New York for a year, which then went on to tour the world to acclaim, and earned him OBIE and Drama Desk Awards for his directing.
杜尚·马卡维耶夫，南斯拉夫导演，1932年10月13日生于贝尔格莱德。1955年毕业于贝尔格莱德大学心理学系。1958年进入萨格勒布电影制片厂，成为专业导演。他的一生关注性解放与政治，认为两者密不可分，这两个主题一直贯穿于他的作品中。做为一个受“自由电影”（实验电影）熏陶得电影人，他广泛观摩各类影片，从英国30年代的纪录片到苏联的默片都对他产生了不同程度的影响，同时他还比其他导演更独裁，全全主控导演、编剧、剪辑等。
瑞典演员，高挑瘦削，1955年初次登舞便进入英格玛·柏格曼导演的项目，此后十年他拍摄了十多部伯格曼的作品，其中多数已成为不朽经典。他擅长扮演压迫性的严厉人物。1965年为好莱坞大制作《万王之王》中扮演耶稣。之后足迹遍布世界各地影坛。在美国影片中常演那些固执己见、毫无幽默感的角色，是好莱坞一位重要的性格配角。趣闻：他是惟一一位既演过耶稣又演过魔鬼的银幕演员。
