PETER GRAVES Biography Peter Graves has combined an enormously successful film-acting career - spanning the classic Stalag 17 to the hilarious Airplane - with an equally rewarding TV career, encompassing more than a half-dozen series, several major mini-series and numerous movies-far-television. Mr. Graves hosted A&E's flagship series "Biography" from 1987 - 2002. "Biography" garnered some of the network's highest ratings. In 1997, Peter Graves was himself the subject of an A&E "Biography" hosted by co-host Jack Perkins. Signing on to head the "Misssion Impossible" force for six of the seven years the original series ran on CBS-TV (1966-73),firmly established Graves as a star of international importance, a status that continues Undiminished. When ABC-TV decided to bring "Mission Impossible" back to the home screen in 1989, they asked Mr. Graves to head the otherwise all-new cast. His other series credits include: Court-martial, Whiplash, Fury, and The Rebels; plus two Time-Life series of Discover: The World of Science. Additionally, he created the role of Palmer Kirby on ABC-TV's The Winds of War mini-series and reprised that role for War and Remembrance. Since his film debut in Ro.ugeRiver, Mr. G~aves has starred in a legion of leading roles in such motion pictures as Stalag 17, The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell, A Rage to Live, The Raid, The Ballad of Josie, The Long Grey Line, Texas Across the River, Five Man Army, and others. Other motion pictures have included Spree, Number One with a Gun, Airplane ll, Savannah Smiles, Survival Run, Cruise Missile, Black Tuesda, and Fort Defiance. A departure from most of his dramatic roles Mr. Graves joined an ensemble cast that was a who's who of celebrity talent to play the airplane pilot, Captain Oveur, in Airplane! Considered to be one of the 10 funniest movies ever made by the American Peter Grave Biography - Page 2 Film Institute, Airplane! celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2006 with various special DVD releases. Mr. Graves satirized his A&E hosting role in the successful movie Men in Black II. And, on the Disney DVD release of The Lion King 1-1/2 he narrates another mock- umentary of one of Lion King's characters in "Timon: Behind the Legend." Additional movies and mini-series for television have included Death on the Freeway, Death Flight, Underground Man, New Orleans Street Force, Where Have All the People Gone and The Memory of Eva Ryker. The Minneapolis-born Mr. Graves is also an accomplished musician, an affinity he developed early in his youth, when, in addition to athletics, he also found time to take on yet another interest: radio announcing. At the age of 16, he joined the announcing staff of radio WMIN in Minneapolis. Upon high school graduation, Peter enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he spent two years. In college at the University of Minnesota, where he was a drama major, he also met his future wife, Joan Endress, to whom he has been married for over 50 years . 2007 celebrates Mr. Graves' 56th year in show business and he is still going strong. He was a semi-regular playing the grandfather for an arc of the hit television series "Seventh Heaven." In the last year he has guest starred on FOX-TV' s "House" and CBS-TV's "Cold Case." And of course, he now finds it hard to not be recognized in public due to the frequent airings of his tongue-in-cheek Geico Insurance television ad spot. # # # 5/07.

  • Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember “Thanks for the Memory” Oscar-Winning
    Back to Newsroom (/newsroom) Leo Robin Music Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember "Thanks for the Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist Leo Robin Who Served on The Hollywood Office of Music War Council During WWII - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Should Install #LeosLostStar" Awarded to Him 30 Years Ago Tuesday, April 28, 2020 3:18 PM SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / Turning on the radio back in 1944 you would have heard the most celebrated jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton and vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dinah Washington and actress Marlene Dietrich singing the wartime song "No Love, No Nothin'." Lyricist Leo Robin wrote the heartfelt lyrics to this song during World War II when romantic and sentimental songs about the girls left behind captured the mood of the country. In The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums, Will Friedwald gives his interpretation, "this no-frills love song is refreshingly straightforward. No frills, no love, no nothin', in fact -- it's all about the deprivation of the 'love-sick girl' on the home front is suffering; [...] there's an obvious parallel with wartime rationing and shortages. It was near impossible to get sugar, rubber, tires, or gasoline, among other goods and the same thing applied to love, she's not getting any of that either." Today's songwriters and musicians amid the Coronavirus pandemic follow in the footsteps of those during World War II in writing and performing songs that capture the mood of the country during this new war against what President Trump calls the "invisible enemy." For example, Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy winner, debuted her new powerful anthem "Good Job" to honor the unsung heroes in her own life during a CNN global town hall addressing the latest developments in the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Peter Graves
    Peter Graves Froding, Burns, Scott and Carlyle In February 1890 the Swedish poet Gustaf Froding, at that time convalescing in a nerve sanatorium in Schleswig, wrote a respectful letter to Professor Carl Rupert Nyblom, Professor of lEsthetics in the University of Uppsala. He wrote:1 24 Feb 90 Dear Professor, As you can see, enclosed herewith are a number of translations of foreign poets - Bums, Chamisso, Lenau, Poe - which I was intending to include in a collection of poems that will possibly be published. However, I know that you, Professor, have translated some poems by these authors, although I can't remember which, and since I don't want to make myself appear to be a plagiariser, I have taken the liberty - you might possibly think it pushiness ­ of contacting you to request information. My translations are, admittedly, no more than trifles but it would be despicable if they were to appear in print - irrespective of whether they are new of their kind - as second editions of old familiar things... I ask your forgiveness if I am being discourteous in requesting this, and sign myself, Humbly yours, Gustaf Fr6ding, Dr Kahlbaum's Sanatorium, Gorlitz, Schleswig. [Brev 1, 173-74] As with a good deal else that Froding did, the innocent letter misfired. He received in return a postcard from Nyblom pointing out, not unkindly, that 'the only surprising thing about your letter was that, since it had insufficient stamps, I had to pay double postage. But my boys are stamp collectors 7 NORTHERN STUDIES· 32 and, since the four stamps were of a new variety, one thing ba~ances out the other'.
