Ursula van Diemen, née Ursula Stürzel, was a German singer and actress.
Ursula Van Diemen (1897 -1988) was born in Schwerin in northern Germany, her father was Dutch and her mother German. She studied singing under Selma Nicklass-Kempner, Lola Beeth and Louis Bachner in Berlin.

Kenneth Laurence Baker (September 30, 1912 – August 10, 1985) was an American singer and actor who first gained notice as the featured singer on radio's The Jack Benny Program during the 1930s.
At the height of his radio fame, and after leaving the Benny show in 1939 (succeeded by Dennis Day, whose tenor voice was very similar to Baker's), he appeared in 17 film musicals. He also starred in the 1939 movie version of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. He later co-starred with Mary Martin in the original Broadway production of Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash's One Touch of Venus (1943).
