Which of these people had been excluded from the cover of the Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'?

The Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has a widely recognized album cover that depicts several dozen celebrities and other images.

It was created by Jann Haworth and Peter Blake, who in 1967 won the Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts for their work on it. Many people have speculated about the cover's intended meaning.

Leo Bernard Gorcey (June 3, 1917– June 2, 1969) was an American stage and movie actor who became famous for portraying on film the leader of the group of young hooligans known variously as the Dead End Kids, The East Side Kids, and as an adult, The Bowery Boys. Leo Gorcey was modelled and originally included to appear in the cover of the album to the left of Huntz Hall (actor), but was subsequently removed when a fee of $400 was requested for the use of the actor's likeness.

Albert Einstein (physicist) appeared in the front row of the album cover.

Bob Dylan (singer/songwriter) appeared in the top row of the album cover.

Oscar Wilde (writer) appeared in the third row of the album cover.

I remember Leo Gorcey in all three of the movies titles mentioned. His side kick Huntz Hall also appeared in a cameo on the Brady Bunch. Leo G. used to wear his hat with the front pinned up, and he liked to use words which he usually mispronounced.
