What's My Line? This week's E2MQ

We are forced to lower the bar for this week's E2MQ.
There has been a deluge of complaints that our questions are just too difficult.
In reply we quote last week's winner who suggests, "Early to bed. Early to rise. And you can out Google the other guys."


This week's E2MQ is offered in two parts with a total of six easy questions.

PART A

This woman...

...and this man...

...have a skill in common.
One could say they share a piece of working wisdom.

He was born in Arkansas in 1942 and died in 1999.

She was born in Germany in 1928 and is still alive.

Both are American citizens despite both being born outside the U.S.

(Okay, Arkansas's part of the Union again...) 

To my knowledge, the two have never met.

Part A questions are...

1. Who are these two people?  
2. What are their respective nicknames?  
3. What discipline do they both share?

PART B

These two gentlemen may have something in common.  

Questions of Part B are...

1. Who are they?
2. What do each of them do?  
3. What connects them?

The winner will be the first person to correctly answer all six questions.
