Georges O'Brien

George O’Brien (April 19, 1899 - September 4, 1985) was a publicly popular actor of the silent film era and into the talkie era of the 1930s.

Born in San Francisco, California, O’Brien was the son of a policeman who later became police chief of San Francisco and then California Director of Penology. O’Brien was a popular college athlete before enlisting in the United States Navy to fight in World War I, then as a stretcher bearer in the marine corps. The young war veteran came to Hollywood, California in his early twenties and began his acting career in bit parts and as a stuntman. One of his earliest roles was in in the 1922 George Melford directed drama Moran of the Lady Letty, most notable for starring Rudolph Valentino. In 1924 O’Brien received his first starring role in the drama The Man Who Came Back opposite the English actress Dorothy Mackaill. That same year he was chosen by the famed movie director John Ford to star in his first film The Iron Horse. The film was an immense success at the box-office and O’Brien made four more films for Ford. In 1927 he starred in Sunrise opposite Janet Gaynor, which won three Academy Awards, was directed by F. W. Murnau, and remains widely considered by critics to be one of the finest and most powerful films ever made.

O’Brien would spend the remainder of the 1920s as an extremely popular leading man in films; often starring in action and adventure roles alongside such publicly popular actresses of the era as Alma Rubens, Anita Stewart, Madge Bellamy and Janet Gaynor.

O’Brien married the actress Marguerite Churchill on July 15, 1933 and the couple had a son, Darcy O’Brien in 1939 who would become a successful writer and a daughter, Orin O’Brien who would become a double bassist with the New York Philharmonic. The couple divorced in 1948.

With the advent of sound, George O’Brien became a popular star of Westerns and rarely took parts outside of the Western film genre. Throughout the 1930s, O’Brien was a consistent Top Ten box-office draw appearing in scores of Westerns, often atop his horse named Mike.

George’s height was either 5’11" (1.80m) or 6’0½" (1.84m).

During World War II, O’Brien re-enlisted in the United States Navy where he served in the Pacific and was decorated several times. He left service with the rank of captain, having four times been recommended for the rank of admiral [citation needed]. George O’Brien suffered a heart attack and was bedridden the last few years of his life. He died in 1985 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.

For his contribution to the motion picture industry, George O’Brien was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6201 Hollywood Blvd., in Los Angeles, California.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. (November 25, 1960 – July 16, 1999), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, Jr., JFK Jr., John Jr. or John-John was an American lawyer, journalist, socialite, and publisher. He was the son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and the younger brother of Caroline Kennedy.

[edit] Early life

Born less than a month after his father was elected to the presidency, John F. Kennedy, Jr. was in the public spotlight from infancy. He had lived for most of the first three years of his life in the White House and under the eye of the media who adored his antics. The nickname "John-John" came from a reporter mishearing his father calling him ("John" spoken twice in quick succession), and the name stuck. His father was assassinated on November 22, 1963, three days before Kennedy Jr.’s third birthday, and the son’s salute of his father’s flag-draped casket during the funeral procession on his third birthday became a heartbreaking and iconic image of the 1960s.

John Jr. grew up primarily on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Even as a boy, he was often photographed and still referred to publicly as "John-John" although Kennedy family members themselves did not use the nickname [1]. After his father’s death, his mother was married to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis from 1968 until Onassis’s death in 1975, when John was 14 years old. By most accounts, his stepfather did not play a particularly significant role in young John’s life. However, his real paternal figure from the ages of 3 to 8 was his uncle, Bobby Kennedy, who took Jackie, John, and Caroline under his wing following JFK’s death. This led to some jealousies and tensions between them and his own children, who felt neglected, and between Jackie and Ethel Kennedy, because Bobby also had the same affection for Jackie that her husband had.

[edit] Education

Although John F. Kennedy, Jr. attended Collegiate School in New York City for the first through tenth grades, he graduated high school from Phillips Academy. Subsequently, Kennedy matriculated at Brown University, graduating in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in history. At Brown, Kennedy was a member of Phi Psi, an inactive chapter of the national Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. In 1989, he earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from New York University School of Law. He failed the New York Bar exam twice before passing on the third try.

[edit] Career

He spoke at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a New York City assistant district attorney from 1989 to 1993. In 1995, he founded George, a glossy politics-as-lifestyle monthly which sometimes took editorial aim even at members of his own family. The magazine ceased publication shortly after Kennedy’s death.

Through the 1980s until his death, Kennedy was an often-seen and much-photographed personality in Manhattan. He married Carolyn Bessette on September 21, 1996 on Cumberland Island in Georgia. He dated Madonna and Daryl Hannah prior to his marriage.

[edit] Death

On July 16, 1999, Kennedy was killed along with his wife and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, when the aircraft he was piloting, N9253N, a Piper Saratoga II HP, crashed on a hazy night into the Atlantic Ocean en route from Essex County Airport in West Caldwell, New Jersey, to Martha’s Vineyard, where the Kennedy family has a vacation house. Kennedy and his wife were traveling to the wedding of cousin Rory Kennedy, which was then postponed. Lauren was to have been dropped off at Martha’s Vineyard.

Kennedy was a relatively inexperienced pilot, with 310 hours of flight experience, including 55 hours of night flying and 36 hours in the high-performance Piper Saratoga. He had completed about half of an instrument training course but was not rated for flying in low visibility conditions. The National Transportation Safety Board investigation found no evidence of mechanical malfunction and determined that the probable cause was "the pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during a descent over water at night, which was a result of spatial disorientation. Factors in the accident were haze, and the dark night." The report noted that spatial disorientation as a result of continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions is a regular cause of fatal airplane accidents. According to literature found in most FAA approved flight training books, a pilot’s inability to see the horizon leads to spatial disorientation. The inner ear may give the pilot the impression that the plane is turning when it isn’t. It takes many hours of instrument training for a pilot to be able to fly in IFR conditions, conditions that most likely existed when Kennedy was flying on his route to Martha’s Vineyard. Over the water at night there are few lights and the lights that existed were most likely obscured by the haze.

Kyle Bailey, a pilot believed to have been the last person to see Kennedy alive at Essex County Airport, subsequently stated that he had cancelled his own intended journey to Martha’s Vineyard because the weather on the route was "a little too hazy." It also emerged that while Kennedy had made the journey from Essex County Airport to the Vineyard several times before, he had never made it without an instructor aboard or at night — factors which can make a flight challenging, especially for a relatively inexperienced, non-instrument-rated pilot. Kennedy’s flight instructor (CFI) stated that he offered to fly with Kennedy on the fatal journey but Kennedy replied that, "I want to do it alone." The instructor also stated that he was uncomfortable with Kennedy making a flight alone in a high-performance airplane at night, over open water and into haze, but did not insist that Kennedy remain on the ground.

During the memorial service on July 23, Kennedy’s uncle, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy, said that, "We dared to think…that this John Kennedy would live to comb grey hair, with his beloved Carolyn by his side. But, like his father, he had every gift but length of years." [2] And of his nephew’s marriage, he invoked what had been said of his brother’s Presidency: both lasted 1,000 days. U.S. President Bill Clinton attended the service, and ordered that the flag at the White House be lowered to half-staff in honor of John F. Kennedy, Jr.

At President Clinton’s orders, warships of the U.S. Navy earlier assisted in the search for the downed plane, which was somewhat unusual. With the permission of Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law were buried at sea off the Massachusetts coast after a ceremony aboard the destroyer USS Briscoe.

A large undisclosed payment was made to the Bessette family from the Kennedy family [3]. It was reported that this payment was made to avoid a possible high-profile lawsuit, since the accident was caused by human error.

Just as his father’s death is mired in conspiracy theory controversy, the story of John F. Kennedy, Jr.’s death has also drawn the attention of conspiracy theorists.

Iker Casillas FernándezBorn in Madrid in 1981, Casillas’ entire career has been spent with his hometown club Real Madrid, which he joined as an eight-year old. He first hit the limelight at 17 when he was pulled out of a high school art class to be told he would be on the bench for a Champions League match. His breakthrough came during the 1999-2000 season, when he replaced the injured Bodo Illgner and played in Madrid’s UEFA Champions League triumph in an all-Spanish final against Valencia CF where his senior team mates Raúl González, Fernando Morientes and Steve McManaman scored in a 3-0 win.

Loss of form subsequently allowed César Sánchez to take the starting position as goalkeeper, but Casillas reclaimed the limelight after coming on as substitute for the veteran in the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final against Bayer Leverkusen and preserving Madrid’s 2-1 lead with a series of fine saves.Casillas came on to replace the injured Cesar with 22 minutes remaining at Hampden Park and produced a series of outstanding saves to ensure Real held on to their lead. At one point Leverkusen appeared to be queuing up to score but Casillas was at his best, his efforts to deny Yildiray Basturk and Dimitar Berbatov particularly brilliant.

Again the Real Madrid first choice in the 2002-03 season, an injury-free season saw Casillas play in 15 of his side’s Champions League games as well as all 38 Primera División matches as Madrid reclaimed the Spanish championship. In the 2003-04 season, Casillas was virtually ever-present as Madrid relinquished their crown and lost the Spanish Cup final, missing just one league game.

Despite Casillas’ stellar performances every week, Real Madrid suffered two trophyless seasons in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. Although Casillas was widely considered the team’s most consistent performer during this lean patch, there was much gossip and speculation regarding a possible transfer to another club. Manchester United was the name that regularly cropped up in newspapers. It was speculated that Casillas was unhappy with his salary, which was paltry in comparison to the amounts earned by some of the team’s bigger stars. However, the saga ended when the player signed a contract extension on the November 30, 2005, tying him to the club till 2011.

Mini biography

Chris Evans - not to be confused with the British DJ and wild man of the same name - began his acting career in typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theater. But it was his rapid rise to stardom that was unusual. Bitten by the acting bug in the first grade because his older sister, Carly, started performing, Evans followed suit and began appearing in school plays. From there, it was a quick jump to theater camp and later an internship for a casting office - a position he held one summer while living in a hole-in-the-wall in Brooklyn, New York. Once Evans made friends with a few agents on the job, it was a straight shot to television and blockbuster features.

Originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, the Evans family moved to suburban Sudbury when he was 11 years-old. While at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, his obvious talent led others to lavish praise and encouragement on him, particularly his drama teacher, who cited his performance as "Leontes" in "The Winter's Tale" as exemplary of his skill. After more school plays and regional theater, he moved to New York and attended the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. On the advice of friends, he landed an internship at a casting office and befriended a couple of the agents he regularly communicated with - one of whom later took him on as a client. The screen - not the stage - then became his focus; Evans soon began auditioning for feature films and series television.

Evans made one of his first appearances on "The Fugitive" (2000) (CBS, 2000-2001), a remake of the 1960s series and feature film starring Harrison Ford. In the episode "Guilt", Evans played the son of a small-town sheriff who tries to exact revenge after Dr. Kimble - incognito as a liquor store owner - refuses to sell him and his friends alcohol. After small roles in Cherry Falls (2000) and The Newcomers (2000) - two unknown low-budget features - Evans appeared in "Boston Public" (2000) (Fox, 2000-2004) as a murder suspect. He then appeared in his first major feature, Not Another Teen Movie (2001), a tiresome spoof on teen comedies wherein he played a jock who makes a bet that he can turn an unpopular and unkempt girl (Chyler Leigh) into prom queen.

After filming a couple of television pilots he was confident would be successful - Just Married (2003) and Eastwick (2002) (TV) - he appeared in another listless teen comedy, The Perfect Score (2004), playing an average, ho-hum student who takes part in a plot to steal the SAT test. Hijinks naturally ensue. Then, Evans broke through to the Big Time, grabbing the lead in the kidnapping thriller, Cellular (2004), a suspenseful B movie with a cheesy gimmick - a random wrong number on his cell phone forces him into a high-stakes race to save an unknown woman's life. Despite an unassuming performance from Evans and Kim Basinger as the damsel in distress, Cellular (2004) failed to break any box office records or please a wide majority of critics. Evans then prepared himself for super stardom when he signed on to play "Johnny Storm" (a.k.a. The Human Torch)in Fantastic Four (2005), 20th Century Fox's long-awaited adaptation of the Marvel comic. Although the film was wildly uneven and disappointing, Evans nearly stole the show with his energetic, unfettered performance.
