  • Dan Duryea Page 1 Of6
    Dan Duryea Page 1 of6 Dan Duryea - Charming Villain By Frank Dolven Dan Duryea was typecast by his own skill. He was almost too good at creating disturbing portraits of pathological villains, especially in film noir roles. In real life, he was an old-fashioned family man, the opposite of his screen persona. He was born in White Plains, New York, on January 23, 1907, and was educated at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In the 1930s he worked in advertising before finding his true calling. He made his acting debut on Broadway in Sidney Kingsley's Dead End . He won critical acclaim for his role as the weakling "Leo Hubbard" in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes on Broadway in 1939. Hollywood scouts took notice of his remarkable performance. Soon he was playing "Leo" in William Wyler's film version of the play. With his slicked-back blonde hair and malicious smile, he became the premier louse of the movies. He developed a repertoire of understated body language with a shrug of the shoulders, a slight raising of the eyebrow, a twitch of the mouth, and a subtle "take-it-or- leave-it-or-go-to-hell" movement of the hand. Duryea became a master, playing to the camera, "as he wielded his reedy, high voice like an irritating, cutting scimitar," one critic wrote. He left many gems among performances in over 70 films spanning 47 years. Film buffs especially remember him for his odious treatment of women. In an interview with Hedda Hopper in the early '50s, Duryea gave a very interesting answer when Miss Hopper asked how he prepared for roles.

  • William Schuyler, Pioneer of California TV, Has Died Instrumental in Launching Oakland's KTVU and Monterey's KMST
    9/5/2016 NATAS / "Off Camera" / March 2014 tapped as the original host of A.M. San Francisco on KGO-TV. Lange is survived by his wife, Nancy; sons Gavin and Nicolas; stepdaughter Ingrid; stepson Steig; sister Midge; and four grandchildren. William Schuyler, Pioneer of California TV, Has Died Instrumental In Launching Oakland's KTVU and Monterey's KMST By Kevin Wing Chapter Vice President, San Francisco William 'Bill" Schuyler, a Northern California native who, in the early years of television on the West Coast, rose to prominence as a broadcasting entrepreneur when he became one of TV's founding fathers in the San Francisco and Monterey bay areas, has died. Schuyler died Dec. 10. For his pioneering contributions to the northern California television industry, Schuyler was among the inaugural inductees, in 1986, of the distinguished Silver Circle of the San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He also received a Lifetime Achievment Award for his career accomplishments. He was born in 1922 and grew up in northern California, eventually moving to southern California as a teenager. During World War II, he was stationed in Japan. After the war he worked for RKO Radio in Los Angeles where he became very interested in a new industry in its infancy, television. Shortly after his marriage to actress Kristine Miller, they moved to Santa Barbara where Schuyler was consultant and sales manager for KEYT. In 1957, the couple relocated to the Bay Area, where Schuyler was part of the team that built KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland.
