Who are those people?

[ostaralight]

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

Al "Scarface" Capone - real person. Not a "used furniture salesman" though. His source of income was slightly more unsavoury than that. He did get sent to prison for a reason, you know.

Yup, I know. They imprisoned him for tax non-payment, as it was the only thing they could prove, right?;-)

Ann Darrow - She done killed King Kong

Heh, I hope our aircraft will not bump into King Kong himself;-)))

Charles Lindbergh - Big star of aviation. Real person.

The name keeps ringing a bell, so I guess he is indeed a big star!

Eleanor Roosevelt - Yep, real person. Played for both teams too.

What means "played for both teams"?

General-major Hermann Goring - Nazi scum. Real person.

Hell yes *nod*

Howard Hughes - A pioneering aviator, engineer, industrialist, movie producer, and ladies man. Real person too and a bit loopy. There was a recent film made about him: "The Aviator" with Leo DiCaprio playing him.

Aha, so that's what that movie was about!

Marion Ravenwood - Actual person.

Hold on! This one is NOT real! It's a character from "Indiana Jones" universe.

Aargh! CRAP CRAP CRAP! I meant to say "fictional". Damnit!

Anyways, Lindburgh was the first person to cross the Atlantic on a plane.

Eleanor Roosevelt had a long-running affair with another woman, even while she was married to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I meant to do this one:
Marion Davies - Actress and long-term live-in girlfriend of William Randolph Hearst. This was the actual person.
