David Ogden Stiers, Major Winchester On MASH, Has Died At 75
But he wasn’t just famous for MASH: “The actor, with his educated, resonant intonations — though he did not share Major Winchester’s Boston Brahmin accent — was much in demand for narration and voiceover work, and for efforts as the narrator and as of Disney’s enormous hit animated film Beauty and the Beast, he shared a Grammy win for best recording for children and another nomination for album of the year.”
The Goal: Learn All There Is To Learn About Vermeer’s ‘The Girl With The Pearl Earring’
The method: Use every noninvasive technique known to art, and medicine (yes, medicine), in a two-week blitz of discovery. The paintings conservator at the Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery says: “The expertise and the scientific equipment are coming from the whole world, converging on this one painting, this one masterpiece. … We’ll see how much information we can gain with the technology at our disposal in a very short period of time — two weeks, working 24 hours a day, day and night.”
An Author Apologizes After Lambasting His Book’s Cover (And The Cover Artist) In A Public Facebook Post
Fantasy author Terry Goodkind definitely does not like the cover of his latest book. “Offering 10 randomly selected readers a chance to win a hardback copy in return for their thoughts on the cover, Goodkind published a poll that included the voting options ‘laughably bad’ or ‘excellent.’ While almost 12,000 readers took part in the vote, some pledged to never buy another book by Goodkind again.” Even his apology was … well, some might call it laughably bad.
The Great Mound Cities Of The Midwest Were So Amazing, White Archaeologists Decided They Were Made By Aliens (Or Anyone But Native Peoples)
The large earthen mound complexes lie everywhere in the river valleys of the Midwest and Southeast. But “early archaeologists working to answer the question of who built the mounds attributed them to the Toltecs, Vikings, Welshmen, Hindus, and many others. It seemed that any group — other than the American Indian — could serve as the likely architects of the great earthworks.”
French Celebrities, Including Brigitte Bardot, Are Wading Into Lawsuits Over The Estate Of Johnny Hallyday
The French rock star left everything to his wife and stepchildren, and nothing to his children, who are suing – with support from many, apparently. “A number of big names in the world of French entertainment have spoken out on the matter.”
A ‘Clumsy, Silly’ Golden Bear Winner Highlights The Collapse (In One Critic’s Opinion) Of The Berlin Film Festival
Peter Bradshaw is not taking any prisoners, comparing the win of Touch Me Not to Brexit and the current U.S. president. “This is a quasi-fictional documentary essay about sexuality, which deluged me in a tidal wave of depression at how embarrassingly awful it was, at its mediocrity, its humourless self-regard, its fatuous and shallow approach to its ostensible theme of intimacy, and the clumsy way all this was sneakily elided with Euro-hardcore cliches about BDSM, alternative sexualities, fetishism and exhibitionism.”
The Medieval Origins Of The Word Craft, Not To Mention Craft Beer
You can start a big fight by calling something a craft instead of an art, but that’s not how it got started. “The Anglo-Saxon word ‘craeft’ is distinct from our modern word ‘craft’ in spirit and in practice. ‘Craeft’ means having the wisdom of one’s surroundings, understanding nature and the seasons, and knowing one’s materials, as well as how objects and systems fall apart.”
What’s It Like To Be The Ballerina Body Double For Jennifer Lawrence?
ABT principal dancer Isabella Boylston, who does the dancing body double work for the star in the new movie Red Sparrow, says the adjustment from stage to screen wasn’t big – it was small: “When I performed in the Met in front of 4,000 people, everything had to translate to the back row, so you had to do things really big, dance big, with acting and gestures. Everything has to be magnified to carry through the theater, and for film it’s the opposite; everything has to be subtle because you can read every little detail.”
The Great Book Acquisition Adventures Of The 17th And 18th Century
Yes, it was partly about European colonial greed. “In Istanbul, the buying of books by foreigners eventually got so out of hand that in 1715 or 1716 the grand vizir, Şehid Ali Pasha, himself a book collector, ‘enacted a law … banning the sale of books to foreigners.’ This protectionist measure was designed to prevent the disappearance of valuable intellectual resources from the capital.”
