Walter Byron (11 June 1899 – 2 March 1972) was an English film actor. He starred opposite Gloria Swanson in the 1929 film Queen Kelly and appeared in 66 films between 1926 and 1942. He first sailed to the United States on the R.M.S. Aquitania under contact with Samuel Goldwyn Productions, in 1928. In 1932, in order to gain permanent legal immigrant status, he crossed the border at Calexico into Mexico and then reentered the United States there under the new status. He became a United States citizen in 1954.

Dorothy Mackaill (March 4, 1903 – August 12, 1990) was a British-American actress, most notably of the silent-film era and into the early 1930s. Born in Sculcoates, Kingston upon Hull in 1903 (although she later would claim 1904 or 1905 as her year of birth, including on her petition for naturalization as a United States citizen, giving 1904 as the year), Mackaill lived with her father after her parents separated when she was around eleven years old. She attended Thoresby Primary School. As a teenager, Mackaill ran away to London to pursue a stage career as an actress. Item #70-0161
