Babs remained active throughout the 1950s and '60s in Europe, singing everything from jazz (recording with Duke Elington in 1963 and performing the classic Heaven at his second spiritual concert) and pop to a bit of classical music.

 Norveška igralka je bila dolga leta ena najpopularnejših igralk v Bergnu. Gledalci so občudovali njen talent, privlačnost in igralske sposobnosti. Pred drugo svetovno vojno, med njo in po njej je nastopala v operetah, komedijah in mjuziklih v Bergnu. Uspešnost predstav je bila velikokrat odvisna prav od nje. Velik uspeh je dosegla z opereto Cirkuška princesa. Igrala pa je tudi v resnih gledaliških vlogah: Hamlet, Peer Gynt in druge.

Norma Balean was one of Bergen's most popular actresses for many years. Her audiences, both young and old, were fascinated by her charisma, charm and acting skills. Before, during and after World War II, she took part in operettas, comedies and musicals at Den Nasjonale Scene in Bergen. These productions were often quite dependent on Norma Balean's participation. At the age of 21, Norma was contracted by the theatre, which was looking for a young, dark-haired girl of her age with a pretty face and a good singing voice. A combination of these qualities gave Norma Balean a part in Emmerich Kalman's operetta, Die Zirkusprinzessin. This led from success to success, including roles in theatre's serious repertoire: Hamlet, Peer Gynt, and others. The many comedies and musicals in which Norma Balean starred attracted audiences who are not registered as regular theatre visitors.

V času druge svetovne vojne je igrala v nekaj filmih in postala idol pariške visoke družbe. Zaljubila se je v oficirja nemške vojske Birla Desboka. Ob koncu vojne sta poskušala pred zavezniki pobegniti v Italijo,vendar so ju ujeli. Desboka so verjetno ustrelili, njo pa pretepli, posili in zaprli. Pod jamščino so jo leta 1945 izpustili in ji prepovedali igrati. Po prepovedi je leta 1948 igrala v svojem zadnjem filmu Dernière chevauchée, La. Zaradi slabega zdravja je namreč prenehala nastopati. Umrla je zlomljena in pozabljena.

She appeared in two of the best remembered French films of the 1930s: Pépé le Moko (1937) and Gueule d'amour (1937), both opposite Jean Gabin. After the German occupation of France she starred in several films and became the idol of the Paris High Society where she met the love of her life, Birl Desbok, an officer in the Wehrmacht. In the summer of 1944, as Paris was about to be liberated, she and Desbok fled Paris and tried to reach the Italian border but they were arrested by the FFI. Separated from Desbok, who was probably executed (she never knew what really happened to him), she was beaten and raped before being taken to prison. She was  released on bail on 1945. She was forbidden to work for a year but once this restriction lifted, she went back to the studios to appear in what proved to be her last film Dernière chevauchée, La (1948), her frail constitution prevented her from appearing in any other films.

BANKY Vilma 9. 1. 1989 - 18. 3. 1991
Filmska igralka se je rodila kot Vilma Lonchit na Madžarskem. Odkril jo je Sam Godwyn in jo odpeljal v Hollywood kjer je nastopila ob Rudolfu Valentinu v filmu Orel (1925) in leta 1926 v filmu Šejkov sin. Najbolj je znana kot soigralka lepega glavnega igralca Ronalda Colmana. Skupaj sta igrala v petih filmih. Z razvojem zvočnega filma je njena kariera ugasnila, saj njena angleščina z hudim naglasom gledalcem ni ugajala. V poznih 20-tih letih se je poslovila od filma in se poročila z igralcem Rod la Rocgue. Leta 1932 je igrala v svojem zadnjem filmu Der Rebekk. Vilma je umrla leta 1991, toda vest o njeni smrti so na njeno željo objavili šele naslednje leto.

She was born Vilma Lonchit, near Budapest. She was discovered by Sam Goldwyn who was taken her exquisite beaty and brought her to Hollywood in 1925 to star opposite Rudolph Valentino in The Eagle, and subsequently, The son of the Sheik (1926). Bankly is best known for the work she did opposite handsome leading man Ronald Colman. They appeared in five films together and their chemistry was magical. Unfortunately Bankey`s career died with the advent of sound because audiences found it difficult to understand her heavily accented English. She retired from films in the late 1920s after marrying movie star Rod la Rocque; they stayed together until he died in 1969. In 1932 she made one last film, Der Rebekk. Bankley died in 1991, but news of her passing was not announced until 1992 for it was embittered Banky`s dying request that her death not be formally announced.

BEAUVOIR Simone de 9. 1. 1908 - 14. 4. 1986
 Francoska pisateljica in feministka, učenka in življenjska sopotnica Jeana Paula Sartra, z njim je urejala časopis Les Temps Moderne. Leta 1929 je končala študij filozofije na Sorboni. Do leta 1943 je poučevala. V prvem romanu Povabljenka je opisala zapleten odnos konkurenčnih zavesti dveh bitij. Njeno najpomembnejše delo s katerim je vzbudila mednarodno pozornost je Drugi spol (1949). To je eno temeljnih del feminističnega gibanja v kasnejših letih. V njem je analizirala podrejen položaj žensk in se energično zavzela za njihovo enakopravnost.

She was a French writer and feminist. A disciple and consort of Jean Paul Sartre, she played a leading part in the existentialist movement. After receiving a degree in philosophy from the Sorbonne in 1929, Beauvoir was a teacher before she turned to fiction with She Came to Stay (1943), a novel illustrating the existentialist idea of freedom through an autonomous act. She further elaborated on this philosophy in The Blood of Others (1945), All Men Are Mortal (1946), and The Mandarins (1954), a fictionalized account of Jean Paul Sartre and his existentialist circle, for which she won the Prix Goncourt. Her most important nonfictional work is The Second Sex (1949), a comprehensive study of the secondary role of women in society. The book is widely credited with inspiring the women's liberation movements - both in Europe and the United States - that began in the late 1960s. Beauvoir later published a distinguished series of autobiographical volumes - Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter (1958), The Prime of Life (1960), The Force of Circumstance (1963) - which describe her own life and that of her contemporaries from her early twenties on. She continued in a similar vein in A Very Easy Death (1964), about her mother's last days; The Coming of Age (1970), in which she comes to grips with approaching old age; and All Said and Done (1972). In their entirety, Simone de Beauvoir's works form an inestimable intellectual history of contemporary France.

Doštudirala je medicino, da bi lahko skrbela tako za telesne kot duševne stiske pacientov. Posebej je želela pomagati materam in otrokom. Poročila se je in med nosečnostjo v drugem mesecu so odkrili tumor na maternici. Imela e tri možnosti: splav, odstranitev maternice in s tem izgubo otroka ter odstranitev tumorja. Prvi dve možnosti je zavrnila, ker je želela ohraniti otroka, čeprav je vedela, da je tretja možnost najbolj tvegana. Molila je, da ji ne bi bilo potrebno žrtvovati življenja, toda zaradi komplikacij pri nosečnosti je umrla. Pri njeni razglasitvi za blaženo 24.4.1994 je bila prisotna njena hčerka.

She met Pietro Molla and married.  While in the second month of a pregnancy, a tumor was discovered on her uterus.  She had three choices: abortion, complete hysterectomy which would abort the child, or to have the tumor removed.  She decided against the first two to save the life of her child even though she knew very well that the third was the most risky. She prayed that she would be spared the sacrifice of her life but she in fact died on April 28, 1962 from complications of the pregnancy.  The daughter to whom she gave birth was present at her mother’s beatification on April 24, 1994.

BERNHARDT Sarah 22. 10. 1844 - 26. 3. 1923
Francosko gledališko igralko  s pravim imenom Henriette Rosine Bernard smatrajo za eno največjih igralk vseh časov. Igrati je začela že pri 13. Debirala je 1862 v Comedie Francaise v Racinovi Ifigenija na Aulidi. Pozornost je vzbudila 1896 v gledališču Odeon z vlogo pevca Zanetta v enodejanki Le passant. Najprej je nastopala v Comedie Francaise, nato pa je gostovala v tujini (London, ZDA). Imela je čudovit privlačen glas, obvladovala je lirične, strastne in dramatične vloge. S svojo vitko postavo in temnimi očmi je bila rojena za vloge zapeljivk. Bila je zelo ekscentrična osebnost. Znana je bila po tem, da je spala v krsti. Leta 1915 so ji zaradi gangrene odrezali nogo, vendar je kljub temu še igrala. Ukvarjala se je tudi s slikarstvom, kiparstvom, pisala poezijo in prozo (roman: Pariški idol) in drame (Priznanje, Človeško srce).
Plakat na CZ-633 za gledališko delo Gismonda (1895) je delo Alfonsa Musha.

Sarah Bernhardt was the stage name of the French actress Sarah Henriette Rosine,  whom many consider one of the greatest performers of all time. She began her training at the age of 13 and in 1862 made her debut at the Comedie Francaise in Jean Racine's Iphigenie en Aulide. She first came to notice in 1869 at the Theatre de l'Odeon in Francois Coppee's Le Passant (The Passerby). She became a star as the queen in Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas, as Dona Sol in his Hernani, and as Phedre in Racine's classic drama. She made her London debut in 1879 in Phedre. The following year she made her triumphant New York debut in Adrienne Lecouvreur, and during the next four decades she toured the United States nine times. Bernhardt had an extraordinarily beautiful voice, perfect diction, and an astonishing emotional range as a performer. Her   slim figure and dark eyes made her especially suited for roles requiring seductiveness. She also excelled in expressing pain, tearful rage, and the throes of death. She herself managed several Paris theaters after 1893 and in 1899 reopened the Theatre des Nations as the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt, where she starred both in revivals and in new works. She also painted, sculpted, and wrote poetry, a novel (The Idol of Paris, 1920), and plays, including L'Aveu (The Confession, 1898) and Un Coeur d'homme (A Man's Heart, 1909). She performed all over Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Egypt. Her personal life was unconventional, and she was expert at creating and maintaining a fascinating public image. For instance, she was reputed to sleep in a coffin she carried with her. Even after her right leg was amputated in 1915 as a result of a fall, she continued to act.

BLAND Lillian 22. 9. 1878 - 11. 5. 1971
Irska letalska inženirka, fotografinja, pisateljica in umetnica. Ko je Louis Bleriot leta 1909 preletel Rokavski preliv jo je to navdihnilo, da je sama zgradila dvokrilno letalo Mayfly, ki je uspešno poletelo na Carnmoney Hill s štirimi irskimi policisti na krilih. Kasneje je v letalo vgradila motor z 20 KM z namenom zgraditi letalo za komercialni namen. Vendar ji to zaradi pomanjkanja denarja ni uspelo. 

She was an aeronautical engineer, professional photographer, an author and an artist. Louis Blériot's cross-Channel flight (1909) inspired her to build her own biplane glider, the Mayfly, which successfully left the ground on Carnmoney Hill, with four Royal Irish Constabulary constables hanging on to the wings. She then installed a 20 h.p. engine in it, intending to build aeroplanes on a commercial scale, but lacked the finance and had to give up.

Francina "Fanny" Blankers-Koen, is a former  Dutch track star who won four gold medals in the 1948 Olympic Games at age 30 after her career had seemingly been cut short by World War II. She began competing when she was 17, but after the Germans overran Holland her competition was restricted. Nevertheless, she became a world-class competitor in the 100-meter sprint, the 80-meter hurdles (tying world records in both events), the high jump, and the long jump. In the 1948 games, Blankers-Koen, then the mother of two, won the 100- and 200-meter sprints and the hurdles, and led her team to a 400-meter relay victory. Between 1938 and 1951 she set world records in seven individual events.

BLIXEN Karen 17. 4. 1885 - 7. 9. 1962
 Danska pisateljica (psevdonim Isak Dinesen) je znana po kratkih zgodbah in pripovedih, ki se dogajajo na kavni plantaži v britanski Vzhodni Afriki (Kenija). Leta 1914 se je poročila z baronom Bror Blixen-Finecke in se že 1921 tudi ločila. Vse do leta 1931 je vodila plantažo. V Keniji je 1934 v angleščini pod dekliškim priimkom Dinese napisala Sedem gotskih zgodb, ki so jih kritiki pohvalili. Šele kasneje jih je prevedla v danščino. Out of Africa pripovedujejo o njenem življenju v Afriki. Po tem je izdala še dve zbirki zgodb: Zimske zgodbe in Poslednje zgodbe. Njena dela so mešanica romantike in realizma.

Isak Dinesen is the pseudonym of Baroness Karen Blixen-Finecke, a Danish author known for her short stories and accounts of experiences on a coffee plantation in British East Africa, now Kenya. She married Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke in 1914, was divorced in 1921, and managed the plantation alone until 1931. While in Kenya Dinesen wrote Seven Gothic Tales (1934), published in English under her maiden name of Dinesen and widely acclaimed by critics. She later translated the work into her native  Danish. Out of Africa (1937) recounts Dinesen's years in Kenya  and was written in both Danish and English.  It was followed by two more collections, Winter's Tales (1942) and Last Tales (1957). Dinesen's short stories are works of art consciously written in the tradition of the 18th-century Gothic novel.  They blend romance and realism, showing a subtlety of mood and an awareness of the psychology of the human spirit.
