Jackson Barrett Mahon, a.k.a. Barry Mahon, born in Santa Barbara, California on 5 February 1921, learned to fly while in high school. In 1941 he joined the Royal Air Force and by the winter was flying combat with No. 121 (Eagle) Squadron, composed of American volunteers. Pilot Officer Mahon damaged three German fighters, two FW-190s in April and an Me-109 in May, before scoring his first confirmed victories of two FW-190s, downed in the St. Omer area, on June 8th, 1942. On 31 July he destroyed two more FW-190s over the Berck-Sur-Mer area and became an Ace while covering the commando raid on Dieppe, 19 August 1942, his 98th strategic fighter pilot mission. At 0830, flying his Spitfire Vb, nicknamed "Barry," Mahon shot down an FW-190 and another FW-190 before his plane was hit and he was forced to bail out of the burning ship.
Landing in the sea, he was taken prisoner to Stalag Luft III where Mahon worked on the tunnels made famous by the movie The Great Escape (1963) loosely based upon him, his character played in the movie by Steve McQueen. Actually Mahon escaped before that breakout, but was captured on the Czech border when his feet became too sore to go on. He escaped again, only to be recaptured and was finally liberated by Patton's 3rd Army in 1945.
Although Mahon filed a claim for shooting down two Germans on August 19, 1942, he was only given credit for one after the war. Thus, for a tally-record of five confirmed, two probable, three damaged, and other brave and heroic deeds, Mahon received the British Distinguished Flying Cross in 1985.
After the war he became the personal pilot for, and later the manager of Errol Flynn. He produced a number of Flynn and Gina Lollobrigida's pictures, as well as a considerable output of children's programs. Mahon established The Production Machine, a high-tech film production company in Hollywood, making motion pictures for theatrical and television release. Mahon was the first movie producer to adapt and apply computer technology as well as spreadsheet applications (such as MultiPlan) to the breakdown, scheduling, budgeting and financial analysis of feature-length motion pictures and movies-of-the-week for Columbia Pictures.
Barry is the father of Columbia/CBS producer Doris Keating (Passion Flower (1986), My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985), Leaving Home (1996), A Touch of Scandal (1984), Stranded (1986)) and was a mentor to producer/director James Jaeger for over 15 years before he passed away in 1999.- Beano was born on 8 November 1949 in Bakersfield, California, USA.

Cute, bubbly, and adorable actress Carol Speed achieved a considerable amount of cult cinema popularity with her often lively and delightful contributions to a handful of enjoyably down'n'dirty 1970s blaxploitation features.
She was born Carolyn Stewart on March 14, 1945, in Bakersfield, California. She holds the distinction of being the first black homecoming queen in Santa Clara County and was one of the first black people to receive a scholarship for the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. Carol got her start in show business as a back-up singer for Bobbie Gentry at Harrah's club in Reno, Nevada. She made her film debut as a hooker in The New Centurions (1972). Speed's most memorable movie roles include sassy prison inmate Mickie in Jack Hill's hilarious babes-behind-bars parody The Big Bird Cage (1972), pimp Max Julien's loyal prostitute girlfriend Lulu in the terrific The Mack (1973), sarcastic rock groupie Janyce in Bummer (1973), club owner Rockne Tarkington's sweet gal pal Leslie in the fun Black Samson (1974) and deaf-mute Sarah in Al Adamson's Dynamite Brothers (1974).
Carol gave an especially inspired and impressive performance as a minister's innocent wife who becomes possessed by the malevolent spirit of an evil demon in William Girdler's immensely entertaining horror flick Abby (1974). She had a recurring part on the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives (1965) in the summer of 1970. Moreover, she made a guest appearance on an episode of Sanford and Son (1972), appeared in several TV commercials, and pops up in the made-for-TV films The Girls of Huntington House (1973), Love Hate Love (1971), Tenafly (1973), Getting Away from It All (1972), and The Psychiatrist (1970).
Outside of acting, Carol was also a successful writer (she's the author of the books "Inside Black Hollywood" and "The Georgette Harvey Story"), singer and songwriter (she sang her own compositions "I Can Make It" in "The Girls of Huntington House" and "My Soul Is A Witness" in "Abby"). After taking a regrettably lengthy hiatus from acting following Disco Godfather (1979) (she was slated to do a small role in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown (1997), but backed out at the last minute), Speed made a welcome comeback with a supporting part in the independent thriller Village Vengeance (2006).
Carol Speed died at age 76 on January 14, 2022 in Muskogee, Oklahoma.- Casey Mears was born on 12 March 1978 in Bakersfield, California, USA. He has been married to Trisha Grablander since 9 January 2010. They have two children.
