Sir GeorgeBarnes (1904-1960) was a British broadcasting executive, who was a station Controller of both BBC Radio and later BBC Television in the 1940s and 1950s.
However, this proved not to be a permanent career for Barnes, and after a short spell at the Cambridge University Press he joined the BBC in 1935 as a Producer in the Talks Department.
Barnes retired from broadcasting in 1956, becoming the Vice Chancellor of the University College of North Staffordshire, which was later to become known as Keele University.
American producer/director/cinematographer George Stevens made his professional acting debut at age five in the company of his actor parents.
Once he reached the "A" list, Stevens became one of the most meticulous and painstaking directors in the business, commencing production only after extensive research, filming take after take until perfection was achieved, and then spending as much as a full year editing the finished product.
While George Stevens' reputation was tarnished by the disappointments of his last years, critics and fans alike have taken a "forgive and forget" stance since his death in 1975, preferring to cite his huge manifest of hits rather than his final faltering misses.
