Dolly (sheep)
Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics, based near Edinburgh. The funding for Dolly's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture. She was born on 5 July 1996 and died from a progressive lung disease five months before her seventh birthday (the disease was not considered related to her being a clone). She has been called "the world's most famous sheep" by sources including BBC News and "Scientific American".
Dolly, Lotte and Maria
The second woman, Dolly Haas (1910-1994), was a popular film actress who worked in "Dolly macht Karriere" (1930) under the direction of Anatole Litvak. The rise of Nazism compelled her to move to England with her first husband, the director Hans Brahm (later John Brahm). In 1936 she signed a contract with Columbia, but after an 18-month wait for the right role, she returned to the stage in New York enjoying a successful Broadway career and thereafter also sporadically appeared on television. Her only major movie role was in the high-profile "I Confess" (1953) directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Her second husband was the Broadway caricaturist Al Hirschfeld.
