Who are those people?

Meh... Me trying to understand, really. Preparing for "Flight of the Hindenburg" larp on Chimera, the larp convention, and so trying to learn more on what I got myself into;-))) Looks like the organizers made a mix of real people, fictional people, and original characters. The full list is:

Al "Scarface" Capone An unbelievably

Victor Frankenstein = creator of Frankenstein's monster.

Argh! I should have understood! Was totally confused by the female gender, and forgot that the original doctor's name was Victor! (and this is after seeing Van Hellsing so often, ohh)

Frank Nitti -- real gangster... Bugs Moran = real gangster

Aha, now that you said it I can remember hearing those somewhere, probably in some gangster movies.

Hermann Goering = WWI German ace and WWII head of the Luftwaffe and friend of Hitler

*headbang* Shame on me! I didn't recognize him because of the unfamiliar name spelling, but I certainly know well who he is!

Joseph Kennedy = real US politician, father of President John F Kennedy, Attorney General(?) Robert Kennedy and Senator Edward Kennedy

I suspected they were somehow related...

Manfred von Richthofen = top WWI German ace - "the Red Baron"

Keeps ringing a bell... Maybe I've heard somewhere...

Orson Welles is a real person -- known for causing some amount of panic in the US via a radio presentation of The War of the Worlds

Aha! Right, now I have an idea;-)

Thanks, I feel much more knowledgeable now;-)))

Don't try the quiz questions in my LJ, then -- they'll probably reverse that feeling! Going to have to make the next one a little bit easier.
