Paul Leroy Robeson (født 9. april 1898 - død 23. januar 1976) var en amerikansk skuespiller og sanger. Kendt for sin basstemme som kunne gå helt ned til C under bas-nøglen, var han en af de anerkendte basstemmer i amerikansk musik. Foruden sine sceneoptrædener var hans fortolkninger af gamle spirituals populære; Robeson var den første til at bringe dem til koncert-scenen.

John Boynton Priestley (; 13 September 1894 – 14 August 1984) was an English novelist, playwright, screenwriter, broadcaster and social commentator.

His Yorkshire background is reflected in much of his fiction, notably in The Good Companions (1929), which first brought him to wide public notice. Many of his plays are structured around a time slip, and he went on to develop a new theory of time, with different dimensions that link past, present and future.

In 1940, he broadcast a series of short propaganda radio talks, which were credited with strengthening civilian morale during the Battle of Britain. In the following years his left-wing beliefs brought him into conflict with the government and influenced the development of the welfare state. He wrote a number of plays during this period, including An Inspector Calls (1945).
