Hayward shot himself in the heart with a handgun
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Bill Hayward, the associate producer of "Easy Rider," has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 66.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office said Hayward shot himself in the heart with a handgun on March 9 in Castaic. The suicide occurred in trailer where he was living.
Hayward was the son of agent Leland Hayward and actress Margaret Sullavan, all part of a Hollywood family whose talent and beauty was often outshone by its demons.
Sullavan and her daughter Bridget Hayward both died of drug overdoses in 1960.
Bill Hayward's other sister, Brooke, was once married to "Easy Rider" star Dennis Hopper, who said Thursday that Hayward "was a wonderful man and this is a great tragedy for our

United Artists film festival flocks into Birmingham 8 movie theatre
United Artists has brought laughter, tears and enjoyment into our lives time and time again, and in honor of its 90th anniversary, United Artists is having a one-time film festival in cities around the country.
The festival will showcase some of UA's classic titles, including cinematic masterpiece "Raging Bull," the first James Bond film "Dr. No," the provocative "Midnight Cowboy," and Woody Allen's classic "Annie Hall." Other titles to be featured are "Goldfinger," "From Russia With Love," "Westide Hall" and "Coming Home." United Artists was formed by artists, for artists, to enable creative minds to make the kind of movies they wanted to make and the kind we, the audience, want to watch.
UA's 90 years of artistic excellence have brought other renowned titles to the silver screen like "Rainman," "Rocky," "In The Heat of The Night" and countless others.
"From its founding 90 years ago by four of the most gifted artists of their time, United Artists recognized the power of movies and created a studio where filmmakers could see their visions realized," Tom Cruise, co-owner of United Artists, said in a release. "The films included in this festival are just a small sample of UA's illustrious history."
The festival will be at the Birmingham 8 movie theater over four days, starting March 31 and ending April 3. The showcased files were selected to give attendees a small taste of the United Artists experience. Paula Wagner, Chief Executive Officer of United Artists, said that the event is a significant one for the group.
"Tom and I are very proud to present, along with the American Film Institute, the United Artists 90th Anniversary Film Festival," Wagner said in a release. "It's both an honor and a pleasure to pay tribute to the talent, inspiration, and craft reflected in the nearly 1,000 films that comprise the UA library. These movies shaped the way we see cinema today, and it is our goal to live up to the rich legacy of UA by creating an artist-friendly environment where filmmakers can thrive."

HD DVD buyers are getting relief from Best Buy in the form of $50 gift cards if they purchased a HD DVD player before February 23 from the retailer. Following the lead of Circuit City, Best Buy is doing its best to console bitter HD DVD player owners who placed the wrong bet when buying a next-generation hi-def DVD player. In total Best Buy says it estimates a total of $10 million in gift cards will be distributed.
"At Best Buy, we understood and shared our customers' frustrations as they were being asked to choose one format or the other," said Brian J. Dunn, president and chief operating officer for Best Buy. "Now that the format war is over, we hope these gift cards will reassure our customers that we will help them make a smooth transition into the right technology for their needs."
Only Specific Model HD DVD Players Qualify
Best Buy is not requiring you return the HD DVD player to get the $50 gift card. However your HD DVD player must be either a Toshiba HD DVD (models: HD-A1, HD-A2, HD-A20, HD-XA2, HD-A3, HD-A30, HD-A35) or a Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD player accessory model 9Z5-00013.
According to Best Buy the gift card offer excludes "HD DVD-equipped computers and laptops, and so-called 'dual-format' or 'universal' high-definition disc player models designed to play both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD media."
The sum of $10 million may sound like a lot to lose for Best Buy on HD DVD buyers. But that?s nothing compared to the estimated $986 million in losses suffered by the once HD DVD proponent Toshiba.
Earlier this month, Circuit City began a HD DVD player trade-in program that allowed customers to trade in their HD DVD equipment for credit toward a Blu-ray player or a gift card in the amount of the player.

"The Trouble with Harry" (1955) was unavailable for decades because its rights (together with four other pictures of the same period) were bought back by Hitchcock and left as part of his legacy to his daughter. They've been known for long as the infamous "5 lost Hitchcocks" amongst film buffs, and were re-released in theatres around 1984 after a 30-year absence.
The others are:
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
Rear Window (1954)
Rope (1948)
Vertigo (1958

British actor Paul Scofield, 86, died Wednesday in a hospital near his home
Recluse Scofield was one of Britain's most respected stage and screen actors
He won an Academy Award for his role in 1966 film "Man of the Season"
LONDON, England (AP) -- Paul Scofield, the towering British stage actor who won international fame and an Academy Award for the film "A Man for All Seasons," has died. He was 86.
Scofield died Wednesday in a hospital near his home in southern England, agent Rosalind Chatto said. He had been suffering from leukemia.
Scofield made few films even after the Oscar for his 1966 portrayal of Tudor statesman Sir Thomas More. He was a stage actor by inclination and by his gifts -- a dramatic, craggy face and an unforgettable voice that was likened to a Rolls Royce starting up or the rumbling sound of low organ pipes.
Even his greatest screen role was a follow up to a play -- the London stage production of "A Man for All Seasons," in which he starred for nine months. Scofield also turned in a performance in the 1961 New York production that won him extraordinary reviews and a Tony Award.
"With a kind of weary magnificence, Scofield sinks himself into the part, studiously underplays it, and somehow displays the inner mind of a man destined for sainthood," Time magazine said.
Actor Richard Burton, once regarded as the natural heir to Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud at the summit of British theater, said it was Scofield who deserved that place. "Of the 10 greatest moments in the theater, eight are Scofield's," he said.
Scofield was an unusual star -- a family man who lived almost his entire life within a few miles of his birthplace and hurried home after work to his wife and children. He didn't seek the spotlight, gave interviews sparingly, and at times seemed to need coaxing to venture out, even onto the stage he loved.
But, he insisted in The Sunday Times in 1992, "my reclusiveness is a myth. ... Yes, I've turned down quite a lot of parts. At my age you need to weed things out, but the idea that I can't be bothered anymore with acting -- that's quite absurd. Acting is all I can do. An actor: That's what I am."
Scofield reportedly had been offered a knighthood, but declined.
"It is just not an aspect of life that I would want," he once said. "If you want a title, what's wrong with Mr.?"
In 2001, however, he was named a Companion of Honor, one of the country's top honors, limited to 65 living people.
His temperament, too, was unexpected in an actor who remained at the very top of his profession.
"It is hard not to be Polyanna-ish about Paul because he is such a manifestly good man, so humane and decent, and curiously void of ego," said director Richard Eyre, former artistic director of Britain's National Theatre. "All the pride he has is channeled through the thing that he does brilliantly."
David Paul Scofield was born January 21, 1922, son of the village schoolmaster in Hurstpierpoint, 8 miles from the south coast of England. When he married actress Joy Parker in 1943, they settled only 16km (10 miles) north, in the country village of Balcombe, where they reared their son and daughter and where Scofield was in easy striking distance of London's West End theaters.
Scofield trained at the Croydon Repertory Theater School and London's Mask Theater School before World War II. Barred from service for medical reasons, he toured in plays, entertaining troops and acting in repertory in factory towns around the country.
Throughout the 1940s, he worked repertory and in London and Stratford in plays ranging from Shakespeare and Shaw to Steinbeck and Chekhov.
In his 20s, he worked with director Peter Brook, touring as Hamlet in 1955. The collaboration included the stage adaptation of Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory" in 1956, which Gielgud regarded as Scofield's greatest performance.
Scofield's huge success with "A Man for All Seasons" was followed in 1979 by another great historical stage role, as Salieri in "Amadeus."
His later stage appearances included "Heartbreak House" in 1992 and the 1996 National Theatre production of Ibsen's "John Gabriel Borkman."
Scofield's rare films included Edward Albee's "A Delicate Balance" in 1974, Kenneth Branagh's 1989 production of "Henry V," in which he played the king of France; "Quiz Show," Robert Redford's film about the 1950s TV scandal in which Scofield played poet Mark Van Doren; and the 1996 adaptation of Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible."
