Who were you in your previously life? - Weelob - 2012-07-06 21:37

Example: "Died on 26th August 1990".
I'll start.

Tall, dark, and handsome, Italian actor Cesare Danova (pronounced Chez-a-ray Da-NO-va) was a true Renaissance man. As a boy, it appeared he might become a professional athlete. But his family wanted him to become a doctor. Cesare, by his own account, studied medicine with such diligence that he suffered a nervous breakdown shortly before he was to take his degree. While recuperating, he was sent by a friend to see Dino De Laurentiis, the famous Italian producer, who was so impressed that he gave Danova a screen test. Thinking it was a joke, Danova insisted on seeing the screen test for himself. Soon, he was cast as the lead in La figlia del capitano (1947) (The Captain's Daughter). Thus began his career as an Italian Errol Flynn. In almost 20 European films, Danova played the dashing lead, riding horses, jumping through windows, dueling, and romancing beauties such as Gina Lollobrigida.

Gustave François Lussi:
Lussi was born in Stans, Switzerland. Lussi himself was not a competitive skater but a ski jumper. He lost his nerve for that sport after a fall, and became interested in skating instead. His previous experience with the sport was only recreational skating on Lake Lucerne as a boy. Since he had very little money, he was unable to compete as an amateur, but he made arrangements to learn skating from a top professional in Switzerland in exchange for later becoming his coach's assistant. He vowed that if he could not become a World Champion himself, he would make one through his teaching.[1]
He emigrated to the United States at the age of 20, just after World War I, and settled in Philadelphia. His first champion student was Egbert S. Carey Jr., who won the U.S. junior men's title in 1924.[1]
Beginning in 1932, Lussi was based at the Olympic rink in Lake Placid, New York, one of the few rinks in the world that provided summer ice in those days. He died on June 23, 1993, at the age of 95.

Jeremy Napier Howard-Williams D.F.C. (13 March 1922 – 8 September 1995) was a Second World War fighter pilot who later wrote several books including what became the "classic account of the sail-maker's art"
This officer has completed a very large number of sorties and throughout has set a fine example of keenness and devotion to duty. He has shot down at least two enemy aircraft, whilst in attacks on targets on the ground he has most effectively attacked numerous locomotives and mechanical vehicles. His resolute work has won great praise.

In 1965, after attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Toulon, he began study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The following year he won the "Grand Prix de Rome" for etching.

From 1970 he lived at Formello, a small village near Rome, where he worked for the next twenty years.
In 1971 he began exhibiting at Rome's Don Chisciotte Gallery, and started working in silverpoint, and painting in watercolor, particularly for the series Velly pour Corbière (1976–1978) from the poems of Tristan Corbiere, and Bestiaire Perdu (1978–1980). In the 1980s his subjects turned to landscapes, still life, life studies, trees and self portraits; using pencil, china ink, watercolor and oil.
In 1990, he was the victim of a boating accident and drowned in Lake Bracciano; his body was never recovered. Since then his work has been exhibited in Italy, France and Germany.
