Peter O'Toole

biography:
Peter Seamus O'Toole (August 2, 1932 – December 14, 2013) was a British-Irish actor. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and began working in the theatre, gaining recognition as a Shakespearean actor at the Bristol Old Vic and with the English Stage Company. In 1959 he made his West End debut in The Long and the Short and the Tall, and played the title role in Hamlet in the National Theatre's first production in 1963. Excelling on the London stage, O'Toole was known for his "hellraiser" lifestyle off it.

Making his film debut in 1959, O'Toole achieved international recognition playing T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for which he received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for this award another seven times – for playing King Henry II in both Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), The Ruling Class (1972), The Stunt Man (1980), My Favorite Year (1982), and Venus (2006) – and holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for acting without a win (tied with Glenn Close). In 2002, he was awarded the Academy Honorary Award for his career achievements.

O'Toole was the recipient of four Golden Globe Awards, one BAFTA Award for Best British Actor and one Primetime Emmy Award. Other performances include What's New Pussycat? (1965), How to Steal a Million (1966), Supergirl (1984), and minor roles in The Last Emperor (1987) and Troy (2004). He also voiced Anton Ego, the restaurant critic in Pixar's Ratatouille (2007).

overview:
Today is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007.

Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television  Shows of All Time.

biography:
Peter Seamus O’Toole (* 2. August 1932 in Connemara, Irland; † 14. Dezember 2013 in London, Großbritannien) war ein irischer Schauspieler. Neben der Arbeit im Theater trat er ab Mitte der 1950er Jahre in mehr als 90 Film- und Fernsehrollen in Erscheinung, die ihm unter anderem vier Golden Globe Awards, einen Emmy sowie acht Oscarnominierungen einbrachten. Den größten Erfolg feierte er mit Lawrence von Arabien. 2003 wurde er von der Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) mit dem Ehrenoscar für sein Lebenswerk geehrt.  Sein Fernsehdebüt hatte O’Toole Mitte der 1950er Jahre. Einem weltweiten Publikum wurde er jedoch vor allem durch seine zahlreichen Kinoauftritte bekannt, die sich nach seiner erfolgreichen Darstellung des rebellischen Private C. „Bammo“ Bamforthin in Willis Halls Antikriegsstück The Long and The Short and The Tall (Royal Court Theatre, 1959) anschlossen. 1962 spielte er die Titelrolle in David Leans Historienepos Lawrence von Arabien (1962), für das er seine erste Oscar-Nominierung, einen Golden Globe Award als Bester Nachwuchsdarsteller sowie den British Film Academy Award erhielt. Es war der Beginn einer erfolgreichen Karriere, die ihm sieben weitere Oscarnominierungen als Bester Hauptdarsteller einbrachte: je zwei für seine Darstellung des Königs Heinrich II. (Becket, 1964; Der Löwe im Winter, 1968); für seine Rolle als scheuer Englischlehrer, der sich in ein Showgirl verliebt (Goodbye, Mr. Chips, 1969); für den Part des geisteskranken und tiefreligiösen britischen Aristokraten Jack Gurney (The Ruling Class, 1972); für seine Darstellung des rücksichtslosen Filmregisseurs Eli Cross (Der lange Tod des Stuntman Cameron, 1981) und die des ehemals erfolgreichen, alkoholkranken Filmschauspielers Alan Swann, der mit seiner Fernseharbeit neues Terrain betritt (Ein Draufgänger in New York, 1982). Seine letzte Oscarnominierung erhielt O’Toole 2007 für die Hauptrolle in Roger Michells Tragikomödie Venus, in der er als wenig erfolgreicher Londoner Schauspielveteran durch seine Bekanntschaft mit einer ziellosen 19-Jährigen (gespielt von Jodie Whittaker) aus seiner Lethargie gerissen wird.

2003 erhielt O’Toole den Ehrenoscar für sein Lebenswerk. Er hatte sich zunächst geweigert, diesen Sonderpreis anzunehmen, und der Academy einen Brief geschrieben, in welchem er mitteilte, dass er „noch im Spiel“ sei und gern mehr Zeit hätte, um „den hübschen Kerl“ zu gewinnen. Die Academy antwortete, dass sie ihm den Oscar für sein Lebenswerk verleihen werde, ob er es nun wolle oder nicht. Im Januar 2007 in der Talkshow Charlie Rose erklärte er, dass ihn schließlich seine Kinder überzeugten, den Ehrenoscar anzunehmen. Sie machten ihn darauf aufmerksam, dass es die höchste Ehre in der Filmindustrie sei, diesen Preis verliehen zu bekommen. Der Oscar für sein Lebenswerk wurde ihm von Meryl Streep überreicht. Sein langjähriger Freund Kenneth Griffith jedoch zeigte sich bitter enttäuscht, dass O’Toole sich herabgelassen hatte, einen solch „lächerlichen Preis“ zu akzeptieren.

Im Juli 2012 gab O’Toole bekannt, sich von Film und Theater zurückziehen zu wollen. „Ich habe nicht mehr das Herz dafür, und es wird auch nicht mehr zurückkommen“, so seine Pressemitteilung.

biography: Peter O'Toole, irlandzki aktor pierwszoplanowy o niesamowitym talencie, wychowywał się w Leeds w Anglii. Jako dziecko chciał zostać dziennikarzem, zaczynając jako kopista w gazecie. Chociaż udało mu się zostać reporterem, odkrył teatr i po raz pierwszy wystąpił na scenie mając siedemnaście lat. Przez dwa lata służył jako radiowiec w Royal Navy, po czym wstąpił do Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, gdzie w latach 1952-54 uczył się razem z Albertem Finneyem, Alanem Batesem i Richardem Harrisem. Spędził parę lat na deskach Bristol Old Vic i English Stage Company, zdobywając uznanie jako aktor szekspirowski. Równocześnie, w 1954 miał debiut telewizyjny i w 1959 nieprzekonujący debiut filmowy. Wielka sława przyszła dopiero w 1962, wówczas to David Lean wybrał go do roli T. E. Lawrenca w swoim epickim arcydziele "Lawrence z Arabii". Kreacja ta uczyniła z O'Toole'a prawdziwą międzynarodową gwiazdę. Udanie kontynuował swoją karierę występując zarówno w produkcjach ambitnych (chociażby "Becket" czy "Lew w zimie"), jak i tych mniej ambitnych, ale za to przynoszących większe zyski. Jest rekordzistą jeśli chodzi o liczbę nominacji do Oscara, miał ich siedem, wszystkie za główną rolę męską, ale nagrodę otzymał dopiero w 2003 za całokształt twórzczości. W latach siedemdziesiątych wydawało się, że na skutek poważnych problemów zdrowotnych będzie musiał zakończyć karierę. Wiązano jego problemy z alkoholizmem, ale okazało się że ma raka żołądka. Przezwyciężył jednak chorobę dzięki rzuceniu alkoholu i licznym zabiegom, w tym usunięciu trzustki, i na początku lat osiemdziesiątych powócił na ekran w filmach "Kaskader z przypadku" i "Mój najlepszy rok". Ostatnio także cieszy się powodzeniem. "Troja", "Casanova", "Elfy z ogrodu czarów", to tylko niektóre z tytułów, w których wystąpił w ostatnich latach. Mimo iż wraz z odejściem młodzieńczej urody coraz trudniej mu otrzymywać znaczące role filmowe (co nie znaczy, że ich już nie otrzymuje), O'Toole pozostał jednym z najwybitniejszych aktorów swojego pokolenia.

biography:
Peter Seamus O'Toole est un acteur britannique et irlandais. Il est considéré comme un « monstre sacré » du théâtre et du cinéma britannique.

Son père, Patrick Joseph “Spats” O'Toole, était joueur invétéré et bookmaker irlandais, tandis que sa mère Constance Jane Eliot (née Ferguson), était une nurse écossaise.

Il passe son enfance dans le Kerry en Irlande, puis à Dublin.

En 1946, à 14 ans, il commence à travailler comme garçon de bureau puis comme journaliste à Leeds.

En 1949, il est encouragé par un ami comédien et commence une carrière théâtrale à 17 ans au Théâtre municipal de Leeds.

En 1950, à 18 ans, il fait son service militaire dans la Royal Navy pendant deux ans.

En 1952, il a alors 20 ans et obtient une bourse pour suivre pendant deux ans les cours de la prestigieuse Académie royale d'Art dramatique de Londres.

En 1954, à 22 ans, il devient membre, élève et comédien shakespearien de la prestigieuse Royal Shakespeare Company du Bristol Old Vic et de son école, la Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (le plus ancien théâtre institutionnel du Royaume-Uni à Bristol dans le Gloucestershire).

En 1956, il joue dans des comédies musicales à Londres : Oh, My Papa…

En 1959, à 27 ans, il obtient son premier grand triomphe avec la pièce The Long and the Short and the Tall.

Il est apparu dans plus de quatre-vingts rôles de répertoire et il est sacré meilleur acteur de la scène anglaise par un Evening Standard Award, par une critique enthousiaste. Il joue pour la première fois pour le cinéma avec trois rôles secondaires et fonde la société de production Keep Films pour autoproduire certaines de ses prestations.

En 1960, à 28 ans, il joue ses premiers grands rôles au cinéma dans les films L'Enlèvement de David Balfour de Robert Stevenson et Les Dents du diable de Nicholas Ray.

En 1962, à 30 ans, c'est la consécration de sa vie. Sam Spiegel et David Lean cherchent désespérément un acteur pour incarner l'héroïque et charismatique colonel et écrivain britannique Thomas Edward Lawrence (Lawrence d'Arabie). Après le refus de Marlon Brando, il est choisi pour le rôle dans Lawrence d'Arabie, incarnation cinématographique qui lui vaut d'entrer dans la légende du cinéma mondial avec son partenaire Omar Sharif. Le tournage dure deux ans.

En 1962, à la suite de son succès mondial, il joue la même année le rôle du roi Henri II d'Angleterre dans le film Becket de Peter Glenville aux côtés de Richard Burton et John Gielgud. Il reçoit pour ce rôle la récompense hollywoodienne du Golden Globe Award du meilleur acteur dans un film dramatique 1965.

En 2002, il est pressenti, au même titre que Michael Gambon, Christopher Lee et Ian McKellen, pour reprendre le rôle d'Albus Dumbledore dans la saga Harry Potter. C'est finalement Michael Gambon qui obtient le rôle.

En 2003, à 71 ans, après avoir été nommé sept fois aux Oscars depuis Lawrence d'Arabie sans avoir obtenu cette récompense, il reçoit un Oscar d'honneur pour l'ensemble de sa carrière. Il apparaît affaibli et tremblant, ses traits profondément marqués par l'âge et l'alcoolisme.

Il publie son autobiographie en deux volumes. Le 10 juillet 2012, il annonce qu'il se retire du cinéma et du théâtre.

Il meurt des suites d'un cancer de l'estomac, le 14 décembre 2013, à Wellington Hospital en St John's Wood, Londres.

Peter Seamus O'Toole (2 agosto 1932 – 14 dicembre 2013) è stato un attore britannico-irlandese. Frequentò la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art e iniziò a lavorare nel teatro, guadagnandosi riconoscimento come attore shakespeariano al Bristol Old Vic e con la English Stage Company. Nel 1959 debuttò nel West End in The Long and the Short and the Tall, e interpretò il ruolo principale in Amleto nella prima produzione del National Theatre nel 1963. Eccezionando sul palcoscenico londinese, O'Toole era noto per il suo stile di vita da "hellraiser" fuori dal palcoscenico.

Lawrence in Lawrence d'Arabia (1962), per il quale ricevette la sua prima nomination all'Oscar come miglior attore.

Nel 2002 gli è stato conferito l'Academy Honorary Award per i suoi successi di carriera.

O'Toole ha ricevuto quattro Golden Globe Awards, un BAFTA Award come Miglior Attore Britannico e un Primetime Emmy Award. Altre esibizioni includono What's New Pussycat?

HypaSpace

overview:
HypaSpace was a weekly entertainment news program about the world of science fiction and fantasy, created by and shown on Space, a Canadian cable television station. It had daily and weekly segments.

The television show covers movies, television, books, comics and community events. The show has HypaSpace daily shows and HypaSpace weekly shows which sums up the week of news. The series was casual and irreverent. HypaSpace was produced by Simon Evans and Michelle Dudas.

There were 260 episodes per year, excluding the first year, which started in May, and the sixth year, as the daily shows were pulled around mid-December with only the weekend edition airing. The daily segments stopped being produced in mid-December 2007, which meant that in its last year, the show had only 26 episodes. There were approximately 1480 episodes of the show.

In May 2005, Kim Poirier took over hosting the show, joining original host Jonathan Llyr, now a reporter for the program. Poirier left the show in July 2007.

Segments of HypaSpace aired interstitially between Space programs.

Llyr hosted the show whenever Poirier was on a break or was ill. He also hosted the HypaSpace podcast, which started on October 7, 2006. Mark Askwith then took over as the host of the podcast.

biography:
Alan Moore (Northampton, 18 de noviembre de 1953) es un escritor y guionista de historietas, labor esta última en la que ha destacado por sus trabajos reconocidos por la crítica y popularmente aclamados como Watchmen, V de Vendetta, From Hell y The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Ha sido catalogado como el «Mejor Escritor de Historietas de la Historia».5

Trabajó primero para el mercado de su país en revistas como 2000AD o Warrior. A partir de 1984 trabajó en el mercado estadounidense, principalmente para DC Comics. Desde mediados de la década de los 90 trabaja mayormente en editoriales independientes a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Su pintoresco pasado, aunado a una actitud con ciertos matices misantrópicos y su autoproclamada conversión en mago del caos, lo han vuelto célebre hasta el punto de convertirse en un ícono. Políticamente se declara anarquista, ideología que refleja en algunas de sus obras.

El 9 de septiembre de 2016, Moore anunció que se retiraba de la industria del cómic.6 7
