He was the Director of the National Association of Youth Clubs who stepped in to stop the mods and rockers fighting on Brighton beach. British cinematographer, film producer, screenwriter and director Ronald Neame best known perhaps for directing The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie which won Dame Maggie Smith an Oscar. The neurologist Dr Fred Plum who coined the terms 'persistent vegetative state' and 'locked in syndrome' to describe different types of coma.
