    Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mitchell Leisen was a noted director during Hollywood's Golden Age. He is credited with more than 40 feature films, which are celebrated for their stylishness and visual elegance. He excelled at witty, romantic comedies that are often tinged with a touch of melancholy, such as the classic "screwball" comedy Easy Living (1937) and the clever, cosmopolitan farce Midnight (1939). Leisen has also been hailed for his "gender role-reversal" films, where the male lead is cast as the sex object and the female lead as the aggressor. Not surprising for a bisexual director working in Hollywood, Leisen's other thematic obsessions included mistaken identity, role-playing, and deception. Leisen returned to the same performers film after film, developing strong working partnerships. Although he was instrumental in shaping the careers of such actors as Fred MacMurray and Ray Milland, Leisen became typed as a "woman's director" for the fastidious, detailed attention he paid to the costuming and art direction of his productions, as well as for the nuanced, spontaneous performances he coaxed from such actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and Olivia de Havilland. Among many film historians, Leisen's artistic reputation has been tarnished somewhat by the stormy relationships he became embroiled in with some of his screenwriters, most notably Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. After working on several films with Leisen, both writers demanded to be allowed to direct their own scripts, in part because they objected to the sophisticated veneer of Leisen's directorial style and to the changes he frequently made to their screenplays.

Zato imamo hroničare i sportske novinare koji pisanjem o šampionima u prošlosti ne daju da se zaborave šampioni tog vremena. Upravo ovim radom žele se pomenuti svi šampioni ovako velikog turnira kao što je Rolan Garos koji se igra od 1891. godine. Uz sve muške osvajače od 1891. godine, poseban akcenat biće na “4 Musketara” koji su vladali 1920-ih i 1930-ih godina teniskim svijetom. Njih su činili Žak Briunon, Žan Borotra, Anri Koše i Rene Lakosta. Istaknutu pažnju u ovom radu ima Rafael Nadal, koji je 11 puta osvajao ovaj turnir, što je rekord na Gren slem turnirima, biće prikazana njegova biografija kao i profesionalna karijera. Ključne riječi: Rolan Garos, ”4 Musketara”, muški osvajači , Rafael Nadal iv ABSTRACT In modern sport, results are quickly forgotten, so the period from 10 to 20 years is quite long period of time, but some competitions like Roland Gaross lasts for century ot two.

  • El Grand Slam
    Único, diferente, especial…Y cuenta ya con una amplísima historia que esconde para muchos de sus aficionados pequeños grandes secretos que están deseando descubrir y que les permitirán contestarse a la pregunta de por qué el tenis es tenis. Sepamos por qué es…el Grand Slam. Por Miguel García Boyano En el bridge fue donde nació este término con el cual conocemos cada de los cuatro grandes torneos del año tenístico y a la hazaña de lograrlos todos ellos en una misma campaña. Corría el año 1814 cuando Charles Jones incluyó en su “Hoyle´s games improved” el concepto de Grand Slam para designar lo máximo que se puede conseguir en una partida de bridge, ganar las 13 bazas en juego (“the highest, called Grand Slam, is, undertaking to get 13 tricks”). Muchos años después, a comienzos de siglo XX, del bridge, el Grand Slam saltó al béisbol, para poder así englobar bajo él la jugada en que se completa un cuadrangular o home run con un jugador en cada una de las 3 primeras bases, y consiguiendo de esta forma un total de cuatro carreras. Lou Gehrig, de los New York Yankees, con 23, conseguidos entre 1923 y 1939, ostenta el récord de Grand Slams conseguidos en una carrera. Y ya en 1930, y gracias a O.B.Keeler, hacía su incursión en el golf en el diario de Atlanta, cuando Bobby Jones se hacía con los cuatro Majors de entonces, el US Open y el British Open y el US y British Amateurs en una única temporada; nadie hasta día de hoy ha sido capaz de repetirlo.

  • Tennis Glory Ever Could
    A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family.
