1. David Brown
   David Brown was a patternmaker and began business in Huddersfield, England in 1860. The company's primary business was the manufacture of gears. In a partership with Harry Ferguson in 1936, 1350 Ferguson-Brown tractors were built. The partnership soon dissolved... and Ferguson left for the United States (later partnering with Ford). The first David Brown tractor, the VAK1, was shown in 1939. Initial orders were for 3000 units, however World War II reduced the actual number built to only 1000.
2. Clifford Brown
   Clifford Brown's death in a car accident at the age of 25 was one of the great tragedies in jazz history. Already ranking with Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis as one of the top trumpeters in jazz, Brownie was still improving in 1956. Plus he was a clean liver and was not even driving; the up-and-coming pianist Richie Powell and his wife (who was driving) ... perished in the crash. Clifford Brown accomplished a great deal in the short time he had. He started on trumpet when he was 15, and by 1948 was playing regularly in Philadelphia. Fats Navarro, who was his main influence, encouraged Brown, as did Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
3. Brown Sugar
   Brown Sugar is all about healthy, hand-made traditional dishes with influences from the Mediterranean regions of Italy and France. The food is healthy and low tech, using fresh seasonal ingredients and treating them simply. As much as possible, everything served is homemade – relishes, jams, chilli oil, stocks and even lemonade. The wine and beer list is almost exclusively from Australia and New Zealand. It features organic and boutique wine-makers that are matched perfectly to Brown Sugar’s fare.
4. Jackson Browne
   Jackson Browne is the self-titled debut album of singer Jackson Browne. It is often mistakenly called Saturate Before Using, because the words appear on the album cover, which was designed to look like a burlap sack that would require saturation before its first use. For this very reason, Asylum Records executives suggested to no avail that the words be removed from the album cover and nearly rejected the cover art outright. The confusion over the title returned when the album was converted to CD format, when the words appeared on the spine of the jewel case as the album title.
5. Tod Browning -- Director Tod Browning
   After James Whale, Tod Browning is the most famous of the 1930s horror film directors, thanks largely to his work on the lacklustre Dracula [1931] and the wonderful Freaks [1932].

His first love was the circus and, despite coming from a fairly affluent family, ran away from home at the age of 16 to become a carnival performer. He changed his name to Tod and worked his way around the States as a sideshow barker, as a performer in The Living Corpse act and as a clown for the Ringling Brothers. He ... found time to take to the stage where he performed magic tricks, danced and even acted in vaudeville, appearing alongside such legends as Mutt and Jeff and Charles Murray.

10. Robert Forster -- Jackie Brown
    Robert Forster received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Jackie Brown. This was just the beginning of a phenomenal resurgence for Robert Forster.
