George Pérez – An acclaimed comics writer and artist, his legacy includes an extensive array of both Marvel and DC titles, though he was perhaps best-known for two DC collaborations with Marv Wolfman: The New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Wolfgang Peterson – After making an Academy Award-nominated breakthrough with submarine drama Das Boot, the director had a lengthy career that included some notable genre films, including The NeverEnding Story and Enemy Mine. He also made the eerie prescient Outbreak.

Ivan Reitman – His illustrious career of mostly comedy films (heavy on the Bill Murray, though Arnold Schwarzenegger was also a repeat collaborator) included Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II; he also produced Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which was directed by his son, Jason Reitman.
