Magnani Ana 7.3.1908 - 26.9.1973
Igrala je v gledaliških hišah in skupinah, od 1934 tudi v manjših filmskih vlogah. Prodor je dosegla z vlogo v enem najpomembnejših italijanskih neorealističnih filmov R. Rossellinija Rim odprto mesto (1945). Mojstrsko je upodabljala čutne, impulzivne ženske like iz malomeščanskega in proletarskega okolja. Pomembnejši filmi: Lepotica (1951), Zlata kočija (1952), Tetoviran roža (1955), Divji veter (1958), Mama Rim (1962). Za vlogo v filmu Tetovirana roža je prejela oskarja za glavno žensko vlogo.

She was a singer and stage actress before finding her true calling on the big screen. Magnani had a bit part in the silent Scampolo (1927) and made her talkie debut with another small role in Cavalleria (1936), directed by her husband, Goffredo Alessandrini (1904-78). After several other roles, she was given international exposure in Roberto Rossellini's neorealistic Open City (1945), which showcased the passionate sensuality that would capture movie audiences. Her extraordinary dual role in Rossellini's L'Amore (1948) solidified her stardom. Magnani's part as the leading lady of an acting troupe in 18th-century South America in Jean Renoir's Golden Coach (1952) is considered by many to be her finest film performance. It was for her earthy widow in Tennessee Williams's Rose Tattoo (1955), however, that she won the Academy Award for best actress. Although she was nominated again for Wild Is the Wind (1957), that and subsequent vehicles failed to elicit from Magnani the magic that had been hers.

Po doktoratu leta 1906 na Dunajski univerzi je začela z raziskovalnim delom pri Ottu Hahnu. Leta 1917 sta odkrila element protaktinij, predhodni element iz katerega se tvori aktinij. Meitnerjeva je postala vodja (1917-38) fizikalnega oddelka na Kaiser Wilhelm inštitutu za kemijo v Berlinu. Pred nacisti je pobegnila na Švedsko kjer je nadaljevala z delom. S svojim teoretičnim delom je pomagala razjasniti odnos med gama in beta žarki.

The physicist Lise Meitner , together with her nephew Otto R.  Frisch,  published in 1939 a theoretical interpretation of nuclear fission. After receiving (1906) her doctorate from the University of Vienna, Meitner began her research career in 1907 with the radiochemist Otto Hahn. In 1917 they discovered protactinium, the precursor substance from which actinium is formed. Meitner then became head (1917-38) of the physics department of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in Berlin. Fleeing Nazi persecution, she resumed her work at the Nobel Institute in Sweden. Her theoretical work helped to clarify the relationships between beta and gamma rays.

Merici Angela sv. (st.) 21.3.1474 - 27.1.1540
je ustanoviteljica uršulinskega reda, ki je najstarejši ženski red v Rimskokatoliški cerkvi.
Svojo mladost je preživljala pri svojem stricu ob Gardskem jezeru. Pridružila se je laičnemu "tretjemu redu" sv. Frančiška. Ko se je pri dvajsetih vrnila v rojstni kraj, je zbrala skupino deklet, ki so vaške otroke učile katekizem. Leta 1506 je imela videnje, v katerem ji je bilo naročeno naj v Brescii ustanovi družbo devic. Leta 1535 se je skupaj s 28 spremljevalkami posvetila bogu s prisego deviškost. S tem je nastal red svete Uršule, legendarne mučenice iz četrtega stoletja. Naloga reda je bila poučevanje verske vzgoje mladih deklet. Leta 1537 je bila soglasno izvoljena za predstojnico reda.

She was born in Italy and lived at her uncle. In 1524, while making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, she became suddenly blind, but continued her journey to the Holy Places and was cured on her return while praying before a crucifix at the same place where she was struck with blindness a few weeks before. When, in 1525, she had come to Rome to gain the indulgences, Pope Clement VII, who had heard of her great holiness and her extraordinary success as a religious teacher of young girls, invited her to remain in Rome; but Angela, who shunned publicity, returned to Brescia. There in 535, Angela chose twelve virgins and laid the foundation of the order of the Ursulines in a small house near the Church of St. Afra in Brescia. Having been five years superior of the newly-founded order, she died. She was beatified in 1768, by Clement XIII, and canonized in 1807, by Pius VII.

 Modersohn-Becker Paula 8.2.1876 - 20.11.1907

Paula Modersohn-Becker, developed an antiromantic, consciously primitive style that anticipated 20th-century German expressionism. While her friends painted vast landscapes at the artists' colony of Worpswede, outside Bremen, Modersohn-Becker singled out individual forms, such as a burly peasant or a massive barn. These compositions, inspired by the works of Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin, were not well received during the artist's short life. Many of her paintings are preserved in the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen.

Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson (or Baker), Los Angeles, after rising from bit parts, became one of the most celebrated film personalities of her time. Hers was the classic show-business tragedy. Stardom seemed a burden; being an international sex goddess, even more so. Her second husband was baseball star Joe DiMaggio. Following her third marriage, to playwright Arthur Miller, she struggled to understand theories of acting and wanted to star in the classics. When this effort proved fruitless, she became so difficult to work with that she was virtually unemployable. Yet in the handful of comedies in which she starred her personal ebullience and freshness transcend her limitations: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955), The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), and Some Like It Hot (1959). She also performed competently in two dramatic roles, Bus Stop (1956) and The Misfits (1961). She died from an overdose of sleeping pills, possibly a suicide.

Her paintings formed an important addition to all but one impressionist exhibit from 1874 through 1885. Her most notable works, including Young Woman at the Dance (1880; Paris) and La Toilette, are painted in clear, luminous colors. Her early subject matter included landscapes and marine scenes; later she most frequently painted tranquil portraits of mothers and children. Morisot's works have been particularly popular in the United States, and many important works are in American collections.
