  • Clinton Greyn (1933-2019)
    CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) The great legacy of CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) is as one of the 1960s' British adventure series' unsung heroes. His Captain Robert Virgin in ATV's Virgin of the Secret Service (1968) stands as one of the classic English gentleman swashbucklers of the decade, alongside Gerald Harper's Adam Adamant and Patrick Macnee's John Steed in The Avengers. Created by Ted Willis, Virgin of the Secret Service (thankfully available on DVD since 2013) was an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek, Boys' Own-style saga of derring-do and stiff upper-lip, in which Captain Virgin, aided by the glamorous Mrs. Cortez (Veronica Strong) and his loyal batman Doublett (John Cater) defended far-flung corners of the British Empire from its foes, most frequently the scheming Teutonic villain Karl Von Brauner (Alexander Doré). Imperial in theme, sardonic in tone, the jury's still out on whether Virgin of the Secret Service was short-lived because by 1968 it was too old-fashioned or, instead, because it was ahead of its time. But the fact that it was filmed in grainy black-and-white wouldn't have helped. Clinton Greyn also guest-starred in other adventure series of the era, such as The Champions and Department S, and he lent distinguished support to several prestigious films of the 1960s: Otto Preminger's Exodus (1960) starring Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint; Ralph Thomas's The High Bright Sun (1964), with Dirk Bogarde, George Chakiris and Susan Strasberg; Peter Yates's Robbery (1967), starring Stanley Baker; the Shirley MacLaine vehicle Woman Times Seven (1967), directed by Vittorio De Sica; and Herbert Ross's good-looking but ill-advised musical adaptation of Goodbye, Mr.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Motion for Appropriate Relief Pursuant to the Racial Justice Act
    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE COUNTY OF STANLY SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION 95 CRS 567 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ) v. ) ) GUY TOBIAS LEGRANDE, Defendant. ) ........................................................... MOTION FOR APPROPRIATE RELIEF PURSUANT TO THE RACIAL JUSTICE ACT ............................................................ Defendant, Guy Tobias LeGrande, through counsel, files this Motion for Appropriate Relief pursuant to the Racial Justice Act (HA), N.C. Gen. Stat. $$ 15A-2010 to 15A-2012, the Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and Art. I, $9 1, 19, 24, 26, and 27 of the North Carolina Constitution. Under the RJA and constitutional law, Defendant, who is currently under a sentence of death, is entitled to a sentence of life imprisonment without parole. INTRODUCTION 1. The evidence set out in this Motion establishes that race is a significant factor in North Carolina's system of capital punishment. The comprehensive, scientific study presented here demonstrates that race is a significant factor in capital proceedings. Prosecutors across the state strike eligible black and other racial minority venire members at double the rate they strike eligible white venire members and individuals who kill whites have significantly increased odds of receiving a death sentence than those who kill blacks or other racial minorities. 2. The evidence set out in this Motion also establishes that race is an extraordinarily significant factor in capital proceedings in the 20Ih ~rosecutorialDistrict. The disparity seen between the prosecutors' strikes of eligible black and other racial minority venire members compared to eligible white venire members is the highest of any district in North Carolina that has more than one person currently on death row.

  • Judith Krantz, Whose Tales of Sex and Shopping Sold Millions, Dies at 91
    Judith Krantz, Whose Tales of Sex and Shopping Sold Millions, Dies at 91 By Margalit Fox June 23, 2019 Judith Krantz, who almost single-handedly turned the sex-and-shopping genre of fiction into the stuff of high commerce, making her one of the world’s best-selling novelists if not one of the most critically acclaimed, died on Saturday at her home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. She was 91. Her publicist, John Tellem, confirmed the death. Though she did not publish her first book until she was 50, Ms. Krantz reigned for decades afterward as the international queen of poolside reading. Her 10 novels — beginning with “Scruples” in 1978 and ending with “The Jewels of Tessa Kent” in 1998 — have together sold more than 85 million copies in more than 50 languages. Most became television movies or mini-series, many of which were produced by Ms. Krantz’s husband, Steve Krantz. What drove Ms. Krantz’s books to the tops of best seller lists time and again was a formula that she honed to glittering perfection: fevered horizontal activities combined with fevered vertical ones — the former taking place in sumptuously appointed bedrooms and five-star hotels, the latter anywhere with a cash register and astronomical price tags. A hallmark of the formula was that it embraced sex and shopping in almost equal measure, with each recounted in modifier-laden detail. “Recklessly she flung herself out of her clouds of chiffon plumage only to appear in her resplendent flesh, lying totally naked on a pile of horse blankets, laughing softly as she watched Stash Valensky, momentarily bewildered and taken by surprise, struggle out of his dinner jacket,” Ms.
