It didn't take long for Cooper to realize that stunt work was challenging and risky. The sport-loving family often went on vacations together, taking frequent trips to Europe. The screen icon learned that some friends of his from Montana were working as extras, and Cooper wanted a piece of the action. He was a three-time Academy Award winner in , and All of these were subsequently played by John Wayne. I called Robert Taylor. His brother Arthur Cooper died in May , at the age of Cooper has undoubtedly left his mark on American culture — besides his Old West good guy persona, he's actually the reason why any male today has the first name "Gary. His wife explained, "Gary loved Southampton. O'Doul certainly aimed some harsh criticism at Cooper, saying, "You throw a ball like an old woman tossing a hot biscuit. I've been coasting along. He worked for five dollars per day as an extra, but that was only to fund an art course he wanted to enroll in. He started to attend Catholic Mass more regularly with his wife and daughter and felt moved spiritually. One Hemingway scholar maintained Papa was profoundly impressed that Cooper was such a stud. While Hemingway was a voracious reader and novelist, Cooper barely picked up a book unless it was a movie script.

  • Moneyball' Bit Player Korach Likes Film
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 'Moneyball' bit player Korach likes film ... and Howe Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review Ken Korach's voice can be heard for about 22 seconds in the hit baseball movie "Moneyball," now showing at a theater near you. That's probably not enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, given Anthony Quinn holds the record for shortest amount of time spent on screen as a Best Supporting Actor of eight minutes, as painter Paul Gaugin in 1956's "Lust for Life." But whereas Brad Pitt only stars in "Moneyball," longtime Las Vegas resident Korach lived the 2002 season as play-by- play broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics, who set an American League record by winning 20 consecutive games. And though Korach's 45-minute interview about that season wound up on the cutting-room floor -- apparently along with photographs of the real Art Howe, the former A's manager who was nowhere near as rotund (or cantankerous) as Philip Seymour Hoffman made him out to be in the movie -- Korach said director Bennett Miller and the Hollywood people got it right. Except, perhaps, for the part about Art Howe. "I wish they had done a more flattering portrayal of Art ... but it's Hollywood," Korach said of "Moneyball," based on author Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. "They wanted to show conflict between Billy and Art." Billy is Billy Beane, who was general manager of the Athletics then and still is today. Beane is credited with adapting the so-called "Moneyball" approach -- finding value in players based on sabermetric statistical data and analysis, rather than traditional scouting values such as hitting home runs and stealing bases -- to building a ballclub.

  • Flickers Honors Anthony Quinn, Adopted Rhode Islander, on 100Th Birthday
    Flickers Honors Anthony Quinn, Adopted Rhode Islander, on 100th Birthday Nominated for acting Oscars four times and winning twice, Anthony Quinn was one of the most prolific and recognizable actors of the 20th century. He appeared in over 160 films released between 1936 and 2002, many of them considered among the best of all-time or at least definitive in their genre. Born Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca in Mexico in 1915, the actor lived the final years of his life in Bristol. After his death in 2001 at the age of 86, the town granted a request by his widow that he be buried in a private grave on the family estate off Poppasquash Rd. To commemorate this adopted son of its home state, Flickers: The Rhode Island International Film Festival, is holding a major curated retrospective running through Nov 2015 that will showcase 32 of his films. “We’re screening a large, large collection of his work,” said Shawn Quirk, RIFF programming director. He said that the retrospective was undertaken with the co-operation of Quinn’s widow, Kathy Benvin Quinn. Quinn’s mixed-heritage Hispanic ancestry – his mother was Irish and Mexican, and his father was of indigenous Nahuatl (Aztec) descent – allowed him to play a wide variety of ethnic roles, ranging from Bedouin Arab (Auda ibu Tayi, Lawrence of Arabia, 1962) to continental Greek (Alexis Zorba, Zorba the Greek, 1964). Some roles depended upon this flexibility, such the lead Johann Moritz in The 25th Hour (1967), a Romanian peasant during World War II who is mistaken for a Jew and sent to a concentration camp, reclassified as Aryan and conscripted into the Waffen SS, and then prosecuted as a war criminal.

    c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 5 1 Out of the Ashes of Despair The difference [between a director and an auteur] is that a director who is working for a living simply does the job, which may not be akin to his philosophy, but it is not inconsistent to have the same man being both. The word is “hunger.” If you are hungry and nobody will buy your orig- inal idea, you might get lucky, direct a Kellogg’s cornflakes commercial and take home a few boxes. —Mel Brooks, 1971 n the early 1970s, Mel Brooks had reason to find himself in an ironic I position as far as his career was concerned. He had already won Acad- emy Awards and Emmys, and had hit radio commercials and three suc- cessful comedy albums (such as The 2000 Year Old Man). He was a veteran of the writing teams for two of the most cherished series of Amer- ican television’s golden age: Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour. Brooks’s recent association with the highly successful sitcom Get Smart had enhanced his visibility with the public and given him additional industry credibility.COPYRIGHTED Although his movie TheMATERIAL Twelve Chairs (1970) had failed to make any tangible impact at the box office, The Producers (1968) was well on its way to becoming a cult favorite. Yet Brooks was now unable to get any new show business projects off the ground and into production. How many times, he must have won- dered, did he have to crash through the establishment’s barriers before he gained solid acceptance from his peers and the public? How long could he continue to subject himself to the ordeal of starting over—yet again? 5 c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 6 6 IT’S GOOD TO BE THE KING For a time, Mel wanted to produce a film version of She Stoops to Conquer.
