Frank Kurtz
Diver
Father of actress Swoosie Kurtz, he was a respected aviator and Olympic diver who won a bronze medal at the 1932 Olympics.
He flew in his own open-cockpit plane between Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Washington D.C., at the age of 16.
He served in Australia in World War II, salvaging broken bombers for parts.
His daughter, Swoosie Kurtz, was named after an airplane he piloted that was dubbed a half a swan and half a goose - a 'swoose.'
His diving abilities were first noticed by Olympic diving champion Johnny Weissmuller, who encouraged him to train in the sport.
