Buster Keaton, 1895–1966 (American actor, vaudevillian, comedian, filmmaker, stunt performer, writer)

* "Buster" Keaton was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face."

Critic Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton's "extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, [when] he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies."

His career declined afterward with a dispiriting loss of his artistic independence when he was hired by MGM, which resulted in a crippling alcoholism that ruined his family life. However, he recovered in the 1940s, remarried and revived his career to a degree as an honored comic performer for the rest of his life, earning an Academy Honorary Award in 1958.

Keaton died of lung cancer on 1 February 1966, aged 70, in Woodland Hills, California.

With the Banshees, Budgie didn't just play rhythms—he played hooks and leads, brilliant parts that set the songs on fire. His tom-tom-intensive approach, [was] enlightened by his awareness of world music."

Guy Martin (British motorcycle racer, lorry mechanic, TV presenter)

* Guy Martin primarily competed in road racing events such as the Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix and North West 200. Widely regarded as an amiable and "colourful" character, Martin has at times found it difficult to concentrate on his racing, primarily as a consequence of the media attention he attracts, not least at the Isle of Man TT.

Martin has also courted a certain degree of controversy, both with race officials and team principals. Since 2011, Martin has also found success as the front man of several television programmes focusing on his passions of engineering, motor vehicles and speed.

He has Uranus unaspected in the last degree of Scorpio.

Barron Hilton (American billionaire, business magnate, philanthropist)

* Barron Hilton — a rare "Triple Libran" with Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the sign of the Scales — has struck a good balance between giving and receiving. Pluto on his MC manifested in his inheritance of his father Conrad's Hilton Hotels Corporation, and he has since pledged to donate 97% of his estate (several billion dollars no less) to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, his father's charity which is dedicated to "relieve the suffering, the distressed, and the destitute." Barron Hilton has an interesting conjunction of generous Jupiter and humanitarian Uranus making the handle of a Bucket shape. He can certainly afford to give away buckets of money — literally!

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

William Barron Hilton I (born October 23, 1927) is an American business magnate, socialite, and hotel heir. He is the former co-chairman of the Hilton Hotels chain. He is one of the sons of Conrad Hilton (founder of Hilton Hotels).

Barron Hilton Charitable Remainder Unitrust, upon his death he will follow his father's footsteps by leaving about 97% of his estate, estimated in 2007 at $2.3 billion, to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Included was an immediate pledge of $1.2 billion, the proceeds of the sale of Hilton Hotels Corporation and Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which was placed in a Charitable remainder unitrust that will be donated to the Foundation upon Hilton's death at whatever value the trust is worth at that time. The remainder of the funds that constitute Hilton's pledge to donate 97% of his estate will come from his $1.1 billion in personal assets.
