Who was born first, Michael Powell, or Ralph Bakshi?
Michael Powell Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was an English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger. Through their production company "The Archers", they together wrote, produced and directed a series of classic British films, notably "49th Parallel" (1941), "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946, also called "Stairway to Heaven"), "Black Narcissus" (1947), "The Red Shoes" (1948), and "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1951). His later controversial 1960 film "Peeping Tom", while today considered a classic, and a contender as the first "slasher", was so vilified on first release that his career was seriously damaged.
Michael Turner (actor) Michael Turner (19 July 1921 - 14 July 2012) was a South African-born actor who appeared in numerous British films and television series from the early 1950s. These include "Emergency – Ward 10", "The Avengers", "Z-Cars", "Doctor Who" (in the serial "The Wheel in Space"), "Van der Valk", "Crown Court", "Dixon of Dock Green", "The New Avengers", "Within These Walls", "Angels", "Crossroads", "Cry Freedom", "Boon", "Pie in the Sky" and "The Bill".
