Elsa
the Lioness (1956-January
24 1961) was a female lion raised by game warden George Adamson
and his wife Joy Adamson (1910-1980) in Kenya. Elsa was a mild
domesticated pet that had later been taught to hunt and live in
the wild. One day she brought home three cubs of her own. She
died early of babesia, a blood disease rare to cats. Her amazing
life was perpetuated in Joy Adamson's book Born Free and "Living
Free", both of which were made into movies.

Elsa
Lanchester (October
28, 1902-December 26, 1986), was a British-born American
character actress, perhaps best-known as the long-suffering wife
of Charles Laughton. Her birth name was Elizabeth Sullivan.

Lanchester and Boris Karloff in "The Bride of Frankenstein"
Lanchester
married Laughton in 1929, and one of her first screen appearances
was opposite him in The Private Life of Henry VIII (as a highly
comical Anne of Cleves). This and other appearances in British
films helped her gain the title role in Bride of Frankenstein
(1935). She continued to appear with her husband, for example in
Rembrandt (1936), but never made a name as a female lead, mainly
due to her lack of conventional beauty.
Following
Laughton's death in 1962, Lanchester continued to act, making
occasional film appearances such as the departing nanny, Katie
Nanna, in the opening scenes of Mary Poppins, and a sleuth in the
1976 Agatha Christie spoof, Murder by Death.
Elsa
Schiaparelli (September
10, 1890 – November 13, 1973) was an influential Italian
fashion designer. Along with Coco Chanel, she dominated fashion
between the two World Wars.[1] Starting with knitwear, her
designs were heavily influenced by Surrealists like her
collaborator Salvador Dali. However unlike Chanel she never
adapted to the changes in fashion after WWII and her business
closed in 1954.
