Researching and reporting on the lives of some really interesting people (RIP)

MARA CORDAY, aged 95

A model and actress from California, she was the most photographed woman in the world, a star of sci-fi films and had her career ruined by her husband.

MARY McGEE, aged 87

From racing cars, to motorbikes and then motocross, she was a rider who entered and won races no other woman has done – and was still riding as a veteran.

CAPTAIN VYVYAN HOWARD, aged 102

A Second World War bomber, he was shot down over Norway and sent to the notorious POW camp, Stalag Luft 3, where he contributed to the Wooden Horse and the Great Escape – the last survivor of that famous incident.
