  • Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence Performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958
    Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Film still from a YouTube video. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The gay actor and singer Larry Kert originated the lead romantic role of Tony in the landmark 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story. With his expressive, vibrant tenor, he introduced some of the most memorable songs in the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim score, including "Maria," "Tonight," and "Something's Coming." In 1970, Kert triumphed again on Broadway in another Sondheim musical, Company, as Robert, a New York bachelor observing the strains and tensions in the marriages of his best friends, as well as struggling to commit emotionally to each of his three girlfriends. Other Broadway shows involving Kert were unfortunately short-lived, and his later career was devoted mainly to cabaret, television, and regional theater. He was born Frederick Lawrence Kert in Los Angeles, California on December 5, 1930 into a comfortably middle-class family. His father was a jeweler and his mother an actress. He had a brother, Morton, and two sisters, Evelyn and the singer later known as Anita Ellis. He initially attended Hollywood High School but transferred to the Hollywood Professional School in Los Angeles. While still in school, Kert performed as an extra and stunt double in several movies, including Lassie Come Home (1943), where he was a stand-in for the film's star Roddy McDowell. After graduation, Kert took some classes at Los Angeles City College but soon dropped out and moved to New York City where he studied with the celebrated acting teacher Sanford Meisner.

U.S. Army Europe YouTube The two movies were both the result of collaborations by the Hollywood A-listers. U.S. Army Europe Flickr Rounding out the top five was “The Longest Day,” a 1962 drama starring John Wayne about the events of D-Day; “Patton,” directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1970 and starring George C.

For him, as for his father and grandfather before him, who, between the two of them, saw action in three major American wars, serving the nation militarily was as good as it got. When asked by an interviewer some 50 years after the end of his wartime military service about his WWII memories, writes biographer Jonathan Coe in his book, Jimmy Stewart: A Wonderful Life, Stewart remarks that his military experience was "something that I think about almost everyday: one of the greatest experiences of my life." "Greater than being in the movies?" countered the reporter.

  • Charlton Heston from MOUNT SINAI to LOS ALAMOS
    Charlton Heston FROM MOUNT SINAI TO LOS ALAMOS Though Charlton Heston passed away several years ago, in 2008, the Academy Award–winning actor lives on through his epic and timeless films. He starred in The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Planet of the Apes, and El Cid but also played a starring role for Los Alamos National Laboratory later in his career. Heston was born in Illinois in 1923. As a boy, he moved with his family to Michigan, where he developed interests in hunting, fishing, and acting. While attending Northwestern University on a drama scholarship in 1944, at the height of World War II, Heston joined the Army Air Forces and was deployed to the Pacific to fight against Imperial Japan. As the end of the war came into sight, Heston, who was a gunner aboard a B-25 bomber, prepared for the seemingly inevitable invasion of the Japanese home islands. The invasion, however, never happened. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 helped bring World War II to an abrupt—and victorious—conclusion. Trinitite, a rock containing glassy parts created inside the fireball from the world’s first nuclear explosion. The glassy parts were made from melted After the war, Heston returned home to his wife and sand and radioactive bits of the nuclear device. Almost all Trinitite is green, gradually started making a name for himself as an actor. as shown here, but some is either black or red, black if it contains bits of the In the years that followed, Heston would become a device’s supporting tower, and red if it contains copper from the device or from communications cables at the test site.
