Alan Turing is the father of computer science. He is largely responsible for development of the Turing-Welchman bombe, which effectively cracked Enigma-encoded messages during WWII. He created a formal definition of the algorithm and created the Turing machine. Without him, we may not have computers as we know them to be today. In 1952, Turing was arrested in the UK for being gay. Instead of serving prison time, he chose the alternative– chemical castration through estrogen therapy. He lost all of his security clearance and could no longer work on his life career of cryptology as a result. Turing’s favorite children’s tale was Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In 1954, he was discovered dead in his bedroom. He had committed suicide by eating an apple soaked in cyanide. A memorial for Turing depicts him holding an apple- a symbol for forbidden love. In 2011, a petition was made asking the British Government to pardon Turing’s conviction of gross-indecency. It was rejected by Lord MacNally, who summarily stated Turing knew his actions would result in a criminal offense and therefore should have been prosecuted. Mr. Turing, I’m sorry. The world can be a cruel place. You are respected and won’t be forgotten. The same can’t be said of many.

Catherine Deneuve on promotional tour for Belle de Jour (1967, dir. Luis Bunuel) “I prefer to be associated with Belle de Jour than a lot of other things, frankly. I think it’s a great film. I was very lucky to do films like that, and like Umbrellas of Cherbourg , at a young age. I think it was great luck for an actor to be involved with very important directors young, because it gives you another view of cinema.” What, in particular, did they teach her? “It’s not what they taught me,” she says, “it’s what I learned through the making of the film. It’s like being with intelligent people - it’s very difficult to say or to know what you’ve learned, because sometimes you learn without them trying to say anything. I suppose you always read things differently, you see things differently, when you’ve done films like that.” ( via )

19 Jan 1966 “Wasted Words” Manager Bobby Bragan of the Hollywood Stars finds the umpire literally deaf to argument during pre-game practice of his team in Hollywood, Calif. The umpire is Garco, an electronic robot who ordered Bragan to leave the game, and took no back talk. Garco, whose activities are varied and seem almost human at times, is moved by the same type of automatic controls as those produced by his maker for the aircraft industry.

Marilyn Monroe poses in 1947. The next year, she’d get a six-month Columbia Pictures contract, followed by a Marx Brothers movie in 1949, and, eventually, near-mythic status as the quintessential Hollywood “sex goddess.” Here, LIFE.com offers a gallery of some of moviedom’s most celebrated (and gorgeous) young talents, on the very brink of life-altering fame.
