Billy Wilder is one of only four people who have won three Academy Awards for producing, directing, and writing the same film
(The Apartment).

Shirley's equally famous brother, Warren Beatty..

Warren Beatty's most popular film was 'Bonnie and Clyde' but his first film was 'Splendor in the Grass' in which he co-starred
