http://www.newsfromme.com/ Jack Davis One of America's all-time great cartoonists has left us at the age of 91. Jack Davis made his initial fame in EC Comics like Tales from the Crypt and MAD but went on to become one of the most visible (and imitated) creators of advertising, movie posters and record album covers ever. His ability to make anything funnier when he drew it and his keen eye for caricatures could be seen darn near everywhere in this country for well more than half a century. Jack Davis was born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 2, 1924. His first drawing in print was a small sketch that ran in Tip Top Comics in the thirties. It was on a page that printed reader contributions and he was not the only soon-to-be-famous cartoonist who first saw a drawing of his published there. So did Mort (Beetle Bailey) Walker and Davis's soon-to-be collaborator/employer, Harvey Kurtzman. Davis attended the University of Georgia and his work on the campus newspaper (and an independent humor publication) got him an intern job at the Atlanta Journal which in turn led to assistant work on the newspaper strip, Mark Trail and later on The Saint. In 1950, he hooked up with EC Comics and became one of the firm's most popular artists on its popular line of horror, crime, war and humor comics. Davis could do any of those but it was the funny stuff he did for MAD that really set him apart from the pack. When MAD's first editor Harvey Kurtzman left, Davis followed him to other humor periodicals (all short-lived) but returned to MAD in the mid-sixties. By then, he also had a steady flow of work for movie posters, record album covers, magazine covers (including Time) and other commercial venues.

Life With Fodder

For those who care about such things, this was supposedly one of the favorite films of Elvis Presley. Did he fantasize about being the solitary Belafonte, free to go anywhere in NYC without people bothering him? Armchair psychiatrists, take over.

If there was a change it was probably due more to Bill Persky and Sam Denoff, who took over from Reiner around '63-4. Looking over Marshall's DVDS scripts I see he wrote "Young Man with A Shoehorn", which is clearly from the Lucy template of establishing a situation resulting in a big final scene. According to Marshall, Ball would meet all new writers and tell them she didn't care what happened in the first 20 minutes of a script, but she had to have that big final scene because that's what the audience expected. Marshall claimed that when writing for The Lucy Show he and his writing partner would conceive the climax first, then work backwards to figure out how to get there.

http://www.moviemistakes.com/film551/corrections Correction: This is questionable. After repeatedly reviewing the scene(s) in question by pausing the DVD and using the zoom feature I cannot see anyone who remotely resembles Garry Marshall. I'm not the first to question this trivia claim and respectfully request that the OP cite their source(s). Marshall did appear as a cop who arrests no good hippie Jack Nicholson in Psych-Out (1968). A few years earlier Garry had played a boxing referee on The Dick Van Dyke Show.

And irreparably damaged Viva Villa. To replace Tracy as the fast talking reporter MGM inexplicably cast Stu Erwin, perhaps the slowest talking actor in Hollywood. Tracy appeared in at least one major Hollywood production after the Mexican scandal, as Edward Arnold's sidekick in Sutter's Gold (1936), the film that bankrupted Universal.

FWIW the Gene Raymond character does not appear in the play, but was invented by Vidal for the film. This may have been done simply to make exposition easier, giving Robertson someone to confide in. But I wonder if it could have been done for the brother dynamic, to make the pair resemble the Kennedys. In the play the Cantwell (great choice of name) character is clearly a combination of McCarthy (about whom various personal rumors were already circulating in the '50s) and Nixon. But the casting of Robertson, who'd played JFK the previous year, inevitably raises the question of whether he is supposed to represent Bobby Kennedy. Vidal was a confidante of JFK -- he was related to Jackie by marriage, which got him in the inner circle. When Vidal ran for Congress in 1960, JFK actually took time off from his own presidential campaign to appear with Vidal. After the election Vidal was comfortably ensconced as a friend of the POTUS until he ran afoul of Bobby. Just what happened between them is disputed, but it resulted in a bitter blood feud that would last until RFK's death. So a number of commentators have seen Robertson/Cantwell as Vidal's revenge against Bobby Kennedy.

Remember that for several years W Corey was promoted as a leading man by no less than Hal Wallis. I still find that hard to believe, but it did happen.

John McMartin John McMartin, leading man in stage musicals and plays from 1959 to 2011, including the original productions of Follies and Sweet Charity, has died of cancer at age 86, according to a death notice in The New York Times. With 24 Broadway credits to his name, McMartin was nominated for the Tony Award five times, and was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame in 2009. He was most recently seen on Broadway in the 2014 political drama All The Way. The tireless stage veteran was always a welcomed sight to regular theatregoers and the general public as well, playing roles in Grey Gardens, High Society, Anything Goes and the Narrator in the 2002 Broadway revival of Into the Woods. His screen work spanned numerous genres, including the new Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, as well as All The President's Men, Frasier, Kinsey, Cheers and a recurring role on Falcon Crest. McMartin also appeared in the Bob Fosse-directed film of Sweet Charity. His name will forever be linked to the landmark 1971 Stephen Sondheim-James Goldman-Harold Prince musical Follies, in which he created the role of the unhappily married Benjamin Stone. He was 41 when he created the role. McMartin takes with him a piece of seminal Broadway history. He was the last surviving principal cast member from the original Follies, in which he co-starred opposite Alexis Smith, Dorothy Collins and Gene Nelson. John McMartin was born November 18, 1929, in Warsaw, IN. http://www.playbill.com/article/follies-star-john-mcmartin-dead-at-86
