<mask> (March 14, 1804 – July 31, 1842) was an early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement. He served as a counselor in the bishopric in Kirtland, Ohio, from 1835 to 1838, then as bishop in Adam-ondi-Ahman in Daviess County, Missouri, from 1838 to 1839, and finally as bishop of the Lower Ward in Nauvoo, Illinois, having been called by Joseph Smith through revelation to that office in January 1841. <mask> served as bishop in Nauvoo until his sudden death at age 38. Early years
<mask> was born March 14, 1804, in Norwich, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, to Doctor <mask> and Rizpah Lee (daughter of American Revolutionary War Captain Sherebiah Lee). Following his father's death when he was five years old, his mother moved the family to upstate New York. Here <mask> married Martha McBride, daughter of itinerant pre-Campbellite minister Daniel McBride and Abigail Mead, on July 26, 1826. They ran a farm in Perrysburg, New York and had seven children: five sons and two daughters.Starting in 1833, members of the McBride family began converting to the Latter Day Saint church. <mask> was baptized into the church in 1834 in Perrysburg, after having been taught in his home by church founder Joseph Smith. Kirtland and Missouri period
In June 1835, <mask> moved his family to Kirtland, Ohio, to gather with other Latter Day Saints. They resided in a \home on the corner of Cowdery and Joseph Streets near the Kirtland Temple. (This home is still standing.) <mask> was called as a counselor in the Kirtland bishopric. <mask> and Martha received their patriarchal blessings on June 24, 1835, at the hands of Joseph Smith Sr. Martha gave birth to one son in Kirtland, <mask>, in 1835 (for whom the name was selected by Joseph Smith Sr.); he died on October 31, 1836.<mask> was ordained an elder and a high priest earlier that year. In January 1837, <mask> joined the Kirtland Safety Society. He also saw the completion of the

Kirtland Temple and the dedication of the School of the Prophets. In September 1837, <mask> left for Missouri with Joseph Smith and was away for two months. Deep apostasy and persecution took hold in Kirtland during that period. The <mask> family moved with other faithful Latter Day Saints in the spring of 1838 to Missouri, arriving at the end of May 1838 at Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri. They settled in Adam-ondi-Ahman in Daviess County, where <mask> was appointed bishop on June 28, 1838.Very quickly persecution again descended upon the <mask> family and others. Within a very brief period, <mask> and his family, suffering greatly, were driven from their home by a mob. <mask> later executed an affidavit in October 1839 itemizing a bill of damages against the State of Missouri for $10,000 in compensation for property lost and expenses incurred during the expulsion—one of the largest claims made by a Latter Day Saint family for damages suffered in Missouri. Forced to flee Missouri following Governor Bogg's Extermination Order, <mask> and his family found refuge with some friends in Pike County, near the Mississippi River, where Martha gave birth to Martha Abigail <mask> on February 9, 1839. Nauvoo period
In April 1839, <mask> traveled to Iowa to purchase land on which the Latter Day Saints could settle. He and his family moved to Commerce (later Nauvoo), Hancock County, Illinois. Here, on land that <mask> helped select, he constructed a two-story red brick home on Main Street, said to be the first brick house in Nauvoo, on the same block as the homes of apostles Brigham Young and John Taylor.(This home is still standing.) In Nauvoo, <mask> was actively involved in community and religious affairs. Soon after arriving in Nauvoo, <mask> was designated aide-de-camp to Joseph Smith in the Nauvoo Legion. In January 1841, <mask> was called as bishop of the Lower Ward in Nauvoo. He also served as a member

of the first Nauvoo city council and as Regent of the University of the City of Nauvoo. During the April 1841 general conference, apostle Ezra T. Benson stayed with the <mask> family. The story is told that <mask>'s wife, Martha, knew something was worrying her husband and he could not seem to tell her about it.One evening, as Martha was sitting in the grape arbor behind the house, <mask> returned home carrying a basket. He explained to Martha that he had taken some fruit and vegetables to Philindia Clark Eldredge Merrick (Myrick), widow of Levi N. Merrick, whose husband had been killed in the Haun's Mill Massacre. <mask> explained to Martha that he had been told to enter plural marriage and that, if he had to, this Sister Merrick would be the one he could help best. Martha's reply is said to have been, "Is that all?" Because the conversation at the grape arbor apparently occurred in the fall of 1841, it is possible <mask>'s initial activities related to plural marriage were not authorized by Joseph Smith. As Helen Mar Kimball would relate, "Before my father [Heber C. Kimball] ever heard that such a principle had been revealed to Joseph Smith he said to some friends in my hearing that if 'all things were to be restored again as they were in the beginning,' as the scriptures declare them, the principle of a plurality of wives must also be restored". However it appears that by the spring of 1842, <mask> <mask> had repented of any unauthorized plural marriage activity he may have been engaged in.This is seen in the minutes of the Women's Relief Society of Nauvoo, of which <mask>'s wife, Martha, was a founding member. The organization meeting was held on March 17, 1842, in Nauvoo, which also happened to be Martha's 37th birthday. The founding purpose of Relief Society was "not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls." <mask> was possibly present on March 31, 1842, when Emma Smith read a letter warning

the women of Relief Society about seducers. The letter was signed by <mask> <mask> along with Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, and Heber C. Kimball. An excerpt reads:
"...such men... say they have authority from Joseph, or the First Presidency, or any other Presidency of the Church; and thus, with a lie in their mouth, deceive and debauch the innocent, under the assumption that they are authoriz'd from these sources? May God Forbid!"there are those, and we therefore warn you, & forewarn you, in the name of the Lord, to check & destroy any faith that any innocent person may have in any such character; for we do not want any one to believe any thing as coming from us... you are authoriz'd on the very first intimation of the kind, to denounce them as such, & shun them as the flying fiery serpent, whether they are prophets, Seers, or revelators; Patriarchs, twelve Apostles, Elders, Priests, Mayers, Generals, City Councillors, Aldermen, Marshalls, Police, Lord Mayors or the Devil, are alike culpable & shall be damned for such evil practices..."
Death and legacy
Just when he was increasingly involved in the affairs of Nauvoo, <mask> suddenly took ill and died on July 31, 1842, in Nauvoo. Joseph Smith preached at the funeral, stating that <mask> was the "best friend he ever had on earth." One month later, on September 3, 1842, Martha lost her and Vinson's youngest child, Rodolphus Elderkin <mask>, who was less than one year old. After Vinson's untimely death in July 1842, Martha would enter into covenant with Joseph Smith. In 1843, William Clayton documented a conversation he had with Joseph Smith discussing "delicate matters." The 23 June journal entry reads in part: "Also <mask> he [Joseph Smith] gave him one but he [<mask>] went to loose conduct and he [Joseph Smith] could not save him." As one other men mentioned in the 23 June journal entry had died and another had suffered a heart attack, the

|
reference to saving may refer to the fact that Vinson died despite likely attempts to prolong his life via faith healing, rather than asserting that Vinson was damned for the "loose conduct."When it became possible to solemnize eternal marriages with deceased spouses in the Nauvoo temple in 1845-1846, Martha chose to be eternally united or sealed to Joseph Smith rather than <mask>. Heber C. Kimball acted as Joseph's proxy in the ceremony, and thus became Martha's husband "for time". The woman traditionally considered to have become <mask>'s plural wife in 1841, Philindia Clark Eldredge Merrick (Myrick), also declined to unite herself with <mask> in eternity. Notable descendants of <mask> include Francis M. Gibbons and Larry W. Gibbons, both of whom became general authorities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Possible first Presiding Bishop
According to an analysis by D. Michael Quinn, <mask> could be considered the first Presiding Bishop of the LDS Church. Edward Partridge, the first man called to be a Mormon bishop, died in 1840. This was before <mask> <mask> was called "to preside over the bishopric" (See D&C 124:141).Though the office of Presiding Bishop arguably didn't exist until 1847, Edward Partridge, rather than <mask> <mask>, is recognized by the LDS Church as the first Presiding Bishop.

The investigation of <mask>'s murder was handed over to the Crime Branch department of Mumbai Police.

Several media persons met the state's chief minister, Prithviraj Chavan, to put forth their demand of handing over the case to the CBI. The chief minister remained adamant that the integrity of Mumbai Police should not be underestimated and the police should be given time to crack the case.On 27 June 2011, after sixteen days of investigations, the Crime Branch declared they have cracked the case. Police officials caught seven people from different locations of India. Of which three were detained from Chembur, in Mumbai; one in Solapur; and remaining two from Rameshwaram, in Tamil Nadu. All the suspects resided in different parts of Mumbai except Satish Kalia, who settled down in Trivandrum after the birth of his daughter and cases against him were cleared. After the shootout they fled to evade arrest. All the seven suspects Rohit Thangappan Joseph alias Satish Kalia, Arun Dake, Anil Waghmode, Babloo, Sachin Gaikwad, Mangesh Agawane and Chhottu are history-sheeters. The suspects were allegedly from Chhota Rajan's gang "NANA COMPANY".Additional Commissioner of Police (crime) Himanshu Roy, who was supervising the case said in a press conference that Rajan approached Kalia who in turn organised the team to carry the shootout. Kalia was the man who shot <mask>, said the police.

Paromitar Ek Din (2000), Chaturanga (2008) and Ahaa Re (2019).Early life
Rituparna was interested in the arts since a young age and learned painting, dancing, singing and handicrafts at a painting school, called Chitrangshu. She studied at Carmel High school, and later graduated in history from Lady Brabourne College. She began studying Modern History for an M.A. at University of Calcutta, but had to interrupt studies to concentrate on her career as an actress. Career
Debut and initial struggle (1989—1991)
<mask> made her screen debut opposite Kushal Chakraborty in the Bengali fantasy TV series Shwet Kapot (1989) broadcast on DD Bangla. Chakraborty's sister Anindita was her classmate. After her Secondary Examination, she was insisted by Anindita to appear for a screen test for a role opposite Chakraborty in the TV series.The work was an adaptation of the Danish fairy tale The White Dove. She had to play an imprisoned princess shapeshifting into a white dove who falls in love with an imprisoned prince played by Chakraborty. Initially her father made objection against her pursuing the role but then gave his consent since the role demanded two-day shoot. Due to Chakraborty's stardom, the sitcom grabbed the attention of media personalities. She accepted a role in Ramen Adhikari's Bengali sitcom Hortoner Golam that featured Kaushik Banerjee as the protagonist. It is based on Monilal Ganguly's Bengali story of the same name. She enacted a few more roles in several other Bengali TV series but those never took off her career.Breakthrough and success (1992—2007)
After Gargi Roychowdhury declined the role of Titli opposite Bhaskar Banerjee in Prabhat Roy's National Award winning Bengali film Shwet Pathorer Thala (1992), <mask> was offered to play the character. She featured opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee in Bhijoy Bhaskar's Nag Panchami (1994) and Chiranjeet Chakraborty in Prashanta Nanda's Laal Paan Bibi (1994). Since both the films worked at the

box office, producers and directors approached her with meaty roles opposite Chatterjee and Chakraborty. <mask> made her Bollywood debut opposite Chunkey Pandey in Partho Ghosh's thriller Teesra Kaun (1994) which was a debacle at the box office. <mask> bagged the female lead in Swapan Saha's Sujan Sakhi (1995) alongside Abhishek Chatterjee essaying the male lead. The film was a remake of Khan Ataur Rahman's Sujon Sokhi (1975). The film was a major success at the box office.She featured opposite Chiranjeet Chakraborty in the latter's directorial venture Sansar Sangram (1995). The film retaining a highly melodramatic approach appeased the rural audience of West Bengal. She featured opposite Mithun Chakraborty in Raghuram's Bhagya Debata (1995).

have to see <mask> in Ahaa Re to believe how much this is true. Every single frame of her cooking a dish, or even preparing to do so, is filled with so much love. Almost as if she is in a silent worship. Love, nourishment, gentleness, fondness – she defines these words with her performance.Her Basundhara is a woman who does not wear her emotions on her sleeves, but there is a scene towards the end of the film, when she can’t take it anymore and just breaks down. Keep your handkerchiefs ready. Asianmoviepulse.com wrote in their review: "<mask> Sengupta is a splendid actor and portrays the character of Basundhara with subtle emotional traits. The character goes through different shades and the director uses many close shots to capture her facial expressions perfectly." . In 2020 Sengupta starred in the Thriller The Parcel which was well received by critics and audiences. Bhaskar Chattophadhyay from Firstpost gave the film a positive review and called Senguptas performance brilliant: "The performances are superlative, though. <mask> Sengupta is a strange mix of someone resigned to her fate in some matters, and at the same time, someone who can go to any extent to prevent any harm that might come to her family.By now, I am so used to seeing her excel in her roles, that I often commit the grave crime of overlooking the immense difficulties in playing a character as complicated as the one she does in this film. I am inclined to see that the lion's share of Parcel lies on her shoulders, and she is effortlessly brilliant in it. Rossini Sarkar from Cinestaan wrote in her review: <mask> Sengupta carries the film on her shoulders, gradually creating her state of depression through perpetual tension, unreasonable outbursts and a haggard look. Her expressions in close-up are outstanding. Personal life and image in media

It is not known when <mask> was born. His father <mask> served as a chancellor during the reigns of Emperor Yizong of Tang and Emperor Yizong's son Emperor Xizong. Both <mask> and his younger brother <mask> were known in their youth for their literary abilities and virtues, and <mask> was particularly praised for the propriety of his actions, becoming nicknamed "Jade Ruler" (玉界尺). <mask> passed the imperial examinations in the Jinshi class in 878 and was made a secretary of the Fengxiang Municipality (鳳翔, in modern Baoji, Shaanxi) government, before he was recalled to the imperial government to serve as an imperial censor with the title Jiancha Yushi (監察御史). After his father <mask> died in 881, he left governmental service for some time to observe a mourning period for his father.After Emperor Xizong, who had fled the imperial capital Chang'an due to the major agrarian rebellion led by Huang Chao, was able to return to Chang'an in 885, Emperor Xizong made him a Taichang Boshi (太常博士), a scholar at the ministry of worship (太常寺, Taichang Si). He subsequently successively served as Lǐbu Yuanwailang (禮部員外郎), a low-level official at the ministry of rites (禮部, Lǐbu); Sixun Yuanwailang

He was later promoted to be Lǐbu Langzhong (禮部郎中), a supervisory official at the ministry of rites. In the middle of Jinfu era (892-893) of Emperor Xizong's brother and successor <mask>zong, <mask> was made Cibu Langzhong (祠部郎中), still a supervisory official at the ministry of rites, but also given the responsibility of drafting imperial edicts. He was soon made an imperial scholar (翰林學士, Hanlin Xueshi) and Zhongshu Sheren (中書舍人), a mid-level official at the legislative bureau of government (中書省, Zhongshu Sheng). He was later made deputy minister of census (戶部侍郎) and chief imperial scholar (翰林學士承旨, Hanlin Xueshi Chengzhi). He was later promoted to be Shangshu Zuocheng (尚書左丞), one of the secretaries general of the executive bureau (尚書省, Shangshu Sheng), while remaining chief imperial scholar as well.When <mask> fled Chang'an in fear of attacks by the warlords Wang Xingyu the military governor of Jingnan Circuit (靜難, headquartered in modern Xianyang, Shaanxi) and Li Maozhen the military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (headquartered at Fengxiang Municipality) in 895, <mask> did not follow the emperor, despite the emperor sending the eunuch Dai Zhiquan (戴知權) to summon him, and he subsequently claimed to be ill and retired.

<mask> fled to Hua Prefecture (華州, in modern Weinan, Shaanxi) in 896, <mask> accompanied the emperor there and was made the deputy chief imperial censor (御史中丞). At that time, two of the emperor's favorites were the Taoist monk Xu Yanshi (許巖士) and the astronomer Ma Daoyin (馬道殷); as a result, many people were trying to use sorcery to gain audience at the court. <mask> carried out the law and put many of them to death, and it was said that his actions stopped the trend. He was subsequently made the deputy minister of rites (禮部侍郎) and put in charge of the imperial examinations. After <mask> returned to Chang'an in 898, there was an incident in 900 when the powerful eunuch Liu Jishu deposed the emperor and briefly replaced him with his son Li Yu, Prince of De the Crown Prince, before a countercoup restored <mask> to the throne. Still, the episode portended further struggles between eunuchs and imperial officials, led by the chancellor Cui Yin.<mask> did not want to be involved, so he claimed to be ill and retired to the eastern capital Luoyang, refusing to meet any guests for several years. After <mask> was forcibly moved by the powerful warlord Zhu Quanzhong the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered in modern Kaifeng, Henan) in 904, one of the chancellors installed by Zhu was Liu Can, whose passage of the imperial examinations had been under <mask>'s auspices and who therefore felt indebted to <mask>.

In 907, when Zhu forced <mask>'s son and successor Emperor Ai to yield the throne to him (ending Tang and starting a new Later Liang with Zhu as its Emperor Taizu), <mask> participated in the transition ceremony, assisting the chief imperial censor Xue Yiju in bearing the main imperial seal and presenting it to Zhu. During Later Liang
In 908, Emperor Taizu sent <mask>feng's brother <mask> and another official, Li Yinheng, to formally commission his vassal Liu Yin, who then controlled Qinghai Circuit (清海, headquartered in modern Guangzhou, Guangdong) as the military governor of Qinghai and Jinghai (靜海, headquartered in modern Hanoi, Vietnam) Circuits. Liu kept <mask> and Li and refused to let them return. (When Liu's brother and successor Liu Yan would eventually declare himself emperor of a new state of Southern Han in 917, he would make both <mask> and Li chancellors.)In 909, Emperor Taizu removed the chancellors Han Jian and Yang She from their chancellor posts; <mask>, who was then serving still as the minister of worship, and Du Xiao, were made chancellors in their stead with the designation Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事).

Meyer Myron "<mask>" <mask> (June 15, 1909 – April 30, 1985) was an American musician and comedian who specialized in Jewish humor. He was the father of actor Joel Grey and grandfather of actress Jennifer Grey. Early life
<mask> was born <mask> on Sawtell Court in Cleveland, Ohio, to a Jewish family. He is the son of Johanna (née Herzberg) and <mask>. Originally one of five children, <mask> lost an older sister to diphtheria when he was about four years old. Menachem supported the family as a tailor, but money was always tight in the <mask> family. As children, <mask> and his siblings contributed to the family finances by entering amateur musical contests in the neighborhood theaters and bringing the prize money home to their parents.Even after graduating from high school, <mask> continued to support his family with the money he earned from his music. Out of high school, <mask> was hired by Phil Spitalny to go on a road tour. While waiting at the train station to leave, <mask> met Grace Epstein, his future wife. He was seventeen and she was fourteen. He married her three years later, in 1930. They had two sons, Joel Grey and Ronald. Each of <mask>'s sons had two children.Joel fathered Jennifer Grey and Jim Grey, and Ronald fathered <mask> and <mask>. In 1977, <mask> told the story of his life in a biography called Papa, Play for Me. Career
Finding the clarinet
One evening when <mask> was eleven, his father took him to a concert at the Talmud Torah. A clarinet solo was on the program. On the way home, <mask> told him he wanted to play the clarinet. However, for his father to pay for an instrument and lessons was out of the question. The next day, <mask> asked the bandmaster of the local high school for a school clarinet, and within a few days he received an old and dusty clarinet.The next step

was to find a way to pay for clarinet lessons. <mask> went to his Uncle Sam and offered to clean his tailor shop if he would pay for the lessons. His uncle agreed, and soon <mask> was studying under Joseph Narovec. He made excellent progress on the instrument, and quickly learned the saxophone as well, which is played basically the same way as a clarinet. Starting his career
Fresh out of high school, <mask> landed a gig playing clarinet and sax for Phil Spitalny and went on a road tour with his band. After the tour, <mask> played in Doc Whipple's big band at the Golden Pheasant Chinese Restaurant for about a year, at which point he left and joined Angelo Vitale's band at the Park Theater. Deciding to try his luck in New York City, <mask> left Cleveland in 1929.He had a hard time finding work at first, and bopped around from one small, unsuccessful job to the next. He finally ran into Ed Fishman, whom he knew from Cleveland and who helped him find a job playing in Howard Phillips' orchestra at the Manger Hotel. However, the job ended in 1930, after his marriage, and the couple had no choice but to go to live in Grace's uncle's home. <mask> was soon saved from this situation when he received a phone call from Jack Spector, a friend back in Cleveland. A spot for a clarinet and sax player had recently opened up in Maurice Spitalny's band at the Loew's State Theater, and Spector had recommended <mask>. <mask> moved back to Cleveland with Grace and played with Spitalny until the leader left Loew's Theater in 1932. <mask> continued to play there for another year, then rejoined Spitalny at the RKO Palace Theater and played there until the Cleveland musicians' local in Cleveland went on strike in 1935.Unfortunately for <mask>, the union lost the strike, since movie theaters were becoming more common

and theaters no longer needed live musicians, and he was out of a job once again. Nevertheless, he soon found work playing for vacationers as they sailed around Lake Erie on the excursion boat Goodtime. This gig lasted every summer from 1935 to 1939. During the off-season, <mask> found what work he could playing various one-night gigs. When the Goodtime went out of business in 1939, he moved on to a position as bandleader and MC at the Ohio Villa gambling palace. Going to war
In 1942, <mask> was hired as bandleader at the Alpine Village theater-restaurant in Cleveland. He was subsequently drafted, but was classified 4-F classification by the Selective Service System and released from his military obligation after failing his preinduction physical.He found other ways to help the war effort, though. Back at the Alpine Village he began to sell war bonds after the shows, bringing in US$25,000 to $30,000 a week for the U.S. government. He also played for servicemen at the USO canteen at Cleveland's St. John's Cathedral. Then, in 1945, he took his six-man comedy and band group (<mask> and His Krazy Kittens) on a USO tour of Europe with movie star Betty Hutton. For this trip <mask> was made a temporary officer, it was the closest he ever came to serving in the military. Hitting his stride
In 1946, the national jukebox convention was to be held in Cleveland, and <mask> was asked to conduct for it. While there he met Spike Jones, and a week later Jones asked <mask> to join him in Hollywood.<mask> played with Jones for more than a year, but never felt he was paid enough, so he left Jones in 1947. <mask> soon decided to make an English-Yiddish comedy record. Having written the lyrics to "Haim afen Range" (based on "Home on the Range") some years previously, he had it approved by RCA. He quickly wrote

another song for the flip side, "Yiddish Square Dance", and had his friend Al Sack sketch out the melody for it and set "Haim afen Range" to music as well. The original run of 10,000 copies released in New York City sold out in three days, and RCA received orders for 25,000 more. <mask> then went on to parody "Tico, Tico" as "Tickle, Tickle" and backed this new record with "Chloya", a parody of "Chloe". He then hired a manager in Los Angeles, and in 1947 performed in Boyle Heights, a largely Jewish and Mexican-American neighborhood.In <mask>'s words, he was a "double-ethnic smash." Receiving some opposition
Despite <mask>'s appeal with particular groups, there were many who did not like his music. Most of these people were affronted by the way he emphasized Jewish differences, convinced that his antics would help perpetuate Jewish stereotypes. In "The Yiddish are coming", writer Josh Kun sums up the atmosphere of the time with the following: "As historian Howard Sachar has noted, the prevailing attitude after World War II was a fear that anything that promoted a 'separate identity as Jews ... would somehow lend credence to Hitler's racial theories. Although <mask> had his fans, not everybody loved him. There were many radio stations that refused to play his records, and several venues feared hiring him. In his biography, <mask> recalls asking a radio station manager why he wouldn't play any of <mask>'s records:
I asked him why he wouldn't play my records.He said, "Because some of our listeners are offended." I asked, "Who, besides you?" He said, "I don't think that's any of your business." I answered, "I think it is my business because this is how I make a living. You play Italian records, you play Polish records--"
He cut me off. "I will not play any record with Yiddish in it. Yiddish is

the language of the ghetto.""My friend," I said, "Yiddish is the language of our forefathers." "I do not care to hear it." "Then why don't you play some of my instrumental records? They're some of the greatest music in the world, played by some of the greatest musicians in the world—Ziggy Elman, Mannie Klein, Nat Farber--"
Again he cut me off mid-sentence. "There will be no Yiddish spoken, or Jewish music played, on this station." Continuing on
Not one to let others get him down, though, <mask> continued to create parodies until 1957 and continued to perform off and on until his death. In 1948, <mask> produced the English-Yiddish stage revue Borscht Capades, co-starring with his son Joel Grey.The show did well until it went to Broadway. Right before Borscht Capades opened, an almost identical show, called Bagels and Yocks opened up down the street. In competition with each other for such a small, particular audience, both shows ending up failing. From 1951 to 1956, <mask> operated as a disc jockey for the Los Angeles radio station KABC while going on occasional road tours and playing engagements at the Bandbox nightclub. In 1952 <mask> also did some shows for the United Jewish Appeal. In the same year, he joined the California Friars Club, and proceeded to conduct at their major functions for the next 25 years. In 1953, <mask> decided to play Las Vegas, and after a successful start at the Frontier, he returned to Las Vegas for four more years.In 1955, <mask> played a brief engagement at Harrah's, located at Lake Tahoe. The following year, he played in Europe and Australia. In 1958, <mask> finally played the Catskills, an area where most of his peers made their start. Unfortunately for <mask>, the booking office that hired him was determined to make as much money out of him as possible, and he

ended up with a packed schedule, playing "anything north of Atlantic City." In 1961, <mask> went on a tour of South Africa, playing in cities including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Benoni, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, and Muizenberg. Finally, at the end of his career, <mask> began playing the Florida condominium circuit, often playing two shows a night. Musical style
<mask> was largely a jazz musician.All of his parodies have a distinct klezmer flavor, either throughout the entire piece or as a brief "break" in the middle of the song. His songs often lampooned both Jewish and American culture. Various <mask> appearances
<mask> and his group can be seen in the movie Thoroughly Modern Millie accompanying Julie Andrews as she sings a Yiddish song at a Jewish wedding. A number of famous Jewish musicians, including those with their own bands, recorded with him, including Mannie Klein, Ziggy Elman and Si Zentner. Jazz musician Don Byron recorded a tribute to <mask> in 1993, Don Byron Plays The Music of <mask>. The 2003 British movie Wondrous Oblivion featured <mask>' "The Barber of Schlemiel" (a parody of The Barber of Seville) in a scene where the Jewish main character plays the record for his Jamaican neighbor. <mask> supplied the voice of the character Hop-a-Long Catskill on the Beany and Cecil cartoon series on ABC-TV in 1962.Catskill was a frog, and the role was a parody of the role of Chester on the television series Gunsmoke. His primary function, in the few episodes in which he appeared, was to serve bad coffee and provide even worse Yiddish/English puns. <mask> is most well known for his parodies, but he created more traditional klezmer music as well. His songs have been compiled onto CDs, including Mish Mosh, The Most Mishige, <mask> Greatest Shticks, and Simcha Time: Music for Weddings,

Bar Mitzvahs, and Brisses. <mask> played with many musicians throughout the years, but he initially performed his parodies with Mannie Klein on trumpet, Sammy Weiss on drums, Benny Gill on violin, Si Zentner on trombone, and Wally Wechsler on piano. Al Sack, the man who created the music for <mask>'s first two parodies, assembled these players for <mask> and then helped him get Nat Farber to arrange the music. <mask> died of kidney failure in Los Angeles, California in 1985, at the age of 75.Further reading

<mask> (October 2, 1843 – October 23, 1887) was a politician, diplomat and newspaper editor who served many political roles in the Kingdom of Hawaii. He served as Governor of Maui from 1874 to 1876, Minister of Finance from 1876 to 1878 and again from 1883 to 1886, Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1878 to 1880, Postmaster General from 1881 to 1883 and Collector General of Customs from 1886 to 1887. From 1874 to 1875, he accompanied King Kalākaua on his state visit to the United States to negotiate the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875. In 1882, he traveled to Tokyo as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Japan to negotiate Japanese immigration to Hawaii. Early life and family
Born on October 2, 1843, at Lāhainā, on the island of Maui, Kapena was the son of Mākini and High Chiefess Nāʻawa, a relative of the Kalākaua family. He was adopted under the Hawaiian custom of hānai by his uncle Jonah Kapena, an influential statesman, judge and royal advisor since the reign of King Kamehameha III (r. 1825–1854). Kapena was educated at the Royal School and later at the Oahu College (now Punahou School).In 1863 he married Emma Aʻalailoa Malo (1846–1886), the only daughter of early Native Hawaiian historian and Christian minister David Malo and his third wife Rebecca Lepeka. Emma was an accomplished musician and composer and served as an attendant of Princess Liliʻuokalani. Emma died unexpectedly from heart disease on April 18, 1886, at the age of 39. They had one daughter, Alexandrina Leihulu <mask> (1868–1914). On November 5, 1887, Leihulu

married Morris Kahai Keohokālole of Maui. She later divorced Keohokālole and married Henry N. Clark after he divorced his wife Emma Dreier. Leihulu owned property on Hawaii and the mainland United States.She died on March 23, 1914, while living in San Francisco, California. She was the last lineal descendant of David Malo. Leihulu died intestate and her estate was disputed between her widower and her two next of kin: Samuel I. Maikai and David U. K. Maikai (grandsons of <mask> Elliott Maikai). The Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in favor of her widower as her sole heir. Editor
In 1870, Kapena became the editor of the newspaper Ke Au Okoa, which ran from 1865 until it merged with Ka Nupepa Kuokoa to become Ka Nupepa Kuokoa Me Ke Au Okoa I Huiia in 1873. Political career
Earlier career
During the reign of Kamehameha V (r. 1864–1872), he was commissioned on January 16, 1864, as first lieutenant of the 1st Company of the Yeomanry, a volunteer army regiment in the military of Hawaii. When King Lunalilo ascended to the throne in 1873, Kapena was appointed to a number of political positions.He was appointed to the Board of Education on January 23. He was made a colonel on the king's personal military staff on January 27, and judge of the first circuit court on the island of Oahu, serving in the latter position from April 1, 1873, to July 13, 1874. In July 1873, King Lunalilo and his foreign minister Charles Reed Bishop considered a proposal to cede Pearl Harbor to the United States in exchange for a reciprocity treaty. Although he was in favor of the

reciprocity treaty, Kapena gave a speech in front of 1500 Hawaiians at Kaumakapili Church opposing the cessation of Hawaiian territory. Patronage by Kalākaua
Lunalilo died without an heir in 1874. In the election that followed, Kapena supported his relative David Kalākaua's candidacy for the vacant throne against Queen Emma, the dowager queen of Kamehameha IV (r. 1855–1864). The choice of Kalākaua by the legislature, and the subsequent announcement, caused a riot at the courthouse.US and British troops were landed, and some of Emma's supporters were arrested. As part of his first round of political appointments, Kalākaua appointed Kapena as a member of the Privy Council of State and the Governor of Maui, succeeding Paul Nahaolelua, who had resigned the governorship to become Minister of Finance. <mask> served as Governor of Maui from February 23, 1874 until December 15, 1876, when he too resigned the governorship to become Minister of Finance. He was succeeded by William Luther Moehonua as governor. On January 10, 1876, <mask> was appointed by the king to be an official member of the House of Nobles, the upper chamber of the legislature. As a member of the House of Nobles, Kapena served in every legislative session between 1876 and 1886. From November 17, 1874, to February 15, 1875, Kapena was a member of the Reciprocity Commission and traveled with Kalākaua on his state visit the United States to negotiate the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875.Kapena held various important cabinet positions during Kalākaua's reign. In 1876, <mask> was appointed to the

king's cabinet as Minister of Finance serving alongside three Americans: Henry A. P. Carter, Minister of Foreign Affairs; <mask>-Smith, Minister of the Interior; and Alfred S. Hartwell, Attorney General. He served as the finance minister from December 5, 1876, until Kalākaua demanded the resignation of his entire cabinet in the middle of the night on July 1, 1878. It was widely suspected that Kalākaua's sudden replacement of his cabinet was influenced by American businessman Claus Spreckels, who had refinanced the King's debts the night before in order to secure water rights for his sugarcane plantation on Maui. On July 3, <mask> was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in a new cabinet with Samuel Gardner Wilder, Minister of the Interior; Simon Kaloa Kaʻai, Minister of Finance; and Edward Preston, Attorney General. Kapena became the first Native Hawaiian to hold the post of foreign minister and the only minister to survive the political shakeup. He held this post from July 3, 1878, to August 14, 1880.During his tenure, the elders (na elemakule) of Tabiteuea in the Gilbert Islands requested annexation to Hawaii. However, Kapena and the king wrote back declining the request due to its political impractically. When the king chose a new cabinet in 1880, <mask> was replaced in the position by the Italian adventurer Celso Caesar Moreno to the vehement opposition of the diplomatic corps and political leaders in Honolulu. Kapena later returned to another cabinet headed by Walter Murray Gibson when he was appointed Minister of Finance for a second

Gulick served as acting finance minister while he was attending the Louisville Exposition in 1885 as Special Commissioner. He was succeeded by Paul P. Kanoa. He also served as the Postmaster General from 1881 to 1883 and the Collector General of Customs from 1886 to 1887.Other political posts and appointments he held during his political career included Marshal of the Household, member of the Board of Education, Commissioner of Boundaries for Maui, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Commissioner to Codify and Revise Laws and Registrar of Conveyances for Oahu. In 1872, he was appointed as the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Japan. Along with his secretary <mask> Kaulukoʻu, he traveled to Japan to negotiate the prospect of Japanese immigration to the Hawaiian Islands. As part of the Education of Hawaiian Youths Abroad governmental program, Kapena also escorted three Hawaiian students to study in Asia. James Kapaa was placed in a school in Canton, China, and James Hakuole and Isaac Harbottle were placed in schools in Japan. Kapena was decorated with a number of Hawaiian and foreign orders and honors. He was made a Knight Companion of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, a Grand Officer of the Royal Order of the Crown of Hawaii and a Grand Officer of the Royal Order of Kalākaua.He was also accorded the foreign honors of the Grand Cross of the Order of the

His family then immigrated illegally to California to work as migrant farm workers. When he was six years old, he already started working in the fields with his family. Growing up, his family would move with the seasons of crops, causing him to miss months of school every year. When <mask> was in eighth grade, his family was deported back to Mexico.A few months later, they returned legally and settled down in a migrant labor camp in Santa Maria, California called Bonetti Ranch. His father could not work anymore because of severe back problems, so they would no longer move from place to place. Throughout high school, Jiménez and his older brother, Roberto, worked as janitors to support their family. After high school, <mask> went on to attend Santa Clara University, getting his B.A. in Spanish in 1966. He became a US Citizen during his junior year at Santa Clara. Then, he went to Columbia University to get his Master's and Ph.D. in Latin American Literature.At Santa Clara University, Jiménez met his to-be wife, Laura Facchini, and they got married while he was attending Columbia University. They have three children: <mask>, Miguel, and Tomás. Tomás <mask> is (in 2019) full professor in sociology at Stanford University. Career

<mask> (birthname <mask> e Silva Filho), was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he graduated in electrical engineering at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC). Later, he received a master and doctorate degrees in physics from Purdue University in the United States.

President of University of São Paulo
Having assumed the presidency of USP in a deep financial crisis due to the hyperinflation that Brazil suffered at that time, he had to combine the need for constant improvement of an institution the size of USP with financial restrictions and a need of a deep reorganization. He cleaned up the university's finances, and improved every major academic (education, research and extension) and institutional indicators. Under his leadership, the university gave priority to the quality of undergraduate teaching, a difficult task in a research university of this level.New majors were created, many of them with classes taught at night, to serve qualified students who had to work. It also began the most innovative and revolutionary major in Brazil at the time, "molecular sciences", which still exists to this day. Graduates of this program frequently go directly to the best PhDs programs in the world, most of them with prestigious grants from the Government of Brazil and abroad. This major was evaluated by a high level commission from the Academy of Sciences of Brazil and was considered an example of teaching excellence and research in the area. During his term as president there was big opening of the University for the population, using the campus as a locus of culture and leisure, putting together more than 120,000

Despite completing his cycle of studies, <mask> refrained from writing his final dissertation. As he said, "I was enrolled at Bocconi in 1968–1969, but I don't hold a degree.

In 1986, he opened the <mask>rio Gallery in New York City. In 1989 he opened a second gallery of contemporary art in Milan, Italy. The gallery eventually went bankrupt and closed in 1997. As a gallerist and publisher, <mask> organized many exhibitions, including Andy Warhol's Last Supper at Galleria del Credito Valtellinese in Milan; he also edited a book on Giorgio de Chirico's work between 1924 and 1929 and a catalogue raisonné on Gino Severini's work. Since 2011 <mask> authored many books with Rizzoli, including The Imaginary Museum (2011); The Long Century of Modernity (2012); Look far to See near You (2013); The Broken Century of avant-garde (2014); The Good Road (2015); Table Art (2015), and Painting Game (2015).

The movement, with no organizational structure, aims to raise awareness of intellectuals and citizens of all geographic origin to safeguard the immense cultural heritage of Italy; "The English denomination serves to testify that the cultural heritage of Italy belongs not only to Italians but to the whole world, also because Latin is studied today much more in Oxford than in Pavia", said <mask> in one of his lectures.

<mask> (October 15, 1888 – February 27, 1953) was an American actor and director. Career
Born in Traver, California, <mask> was half-Cherokee and half-Seneca. He was raised on a ranch. He appeared in hundreds of films during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. However, he got his start painting scenery as part of the backstage crew during the silent movie era. By 1911, he was active in films as an actor, writer and director. He freelanced and worked for many of the movie studios, building a solid reputation for his work both on and off screen.<mask> is best remembered for two roles: as the Yankee deserter who trespasses at Tara and is shot by Scarlett in Gone with the Wind (1939); and his memorable characterization of the drunken and sadistic vigilante Smith in The Ox Bow Incident (1943). However, he was most proud of his role as a crotchety, old rancher who refuses water to a Quaker family in the movie Angel and the Badman, until John Wayne's character convinces him to share the water. It was after this latter role that Republic Pictures signed him as the comic sidekick in Monte Hale's Western series. His last film was John Ford's The Sun Shines Bright. Personal life and death
<mask> was married to actress Hedda Nova. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late 1952, and committed suicide on February 27, 1953. He is buried in Reedley Cemetery in Reedley, California.Filmography

She later got a fellowship from West Virginia University for her work and was also one of the first students to complete a creative thesis at WV University. Her dissertation was her first poetry collection, Room for the Wakers. <mask> was also the protégé of and editor for Louise McNeill, fellow poet and the predecessor to the Poet Laureate position for West Virginia from 1979 to her death in 1993. <mask> helped edit for her and her friendship and relationship with Louise helped her move towards focusing on regionalism (focusing on local dialect, customs, and other features for a specific region) in her writing and poems. McKinney's poetry is steeped in the rural Appalachian landscape and frequently explores the connections between people and place. Though she retired in 2000, she was still active and continued to teach at Wesleyan College.During the last two years of her life, she worked tirelessly to fulfill her dream of a program at West Virginia Wesleyan College where “good writing was the center of a community, with its roots in the region of the writers yet also being able to reference the outside world”. She worked on developing the Low-Residency MFA (Master of Fine Arts) Program here. Due to her work with this now developed program at West Virginia Wesleyan College, West Virginia has dedicated an award in her name: the <mask>inney Award for West Virginia Wesleyan MFA Students. Additionally, the West Virginia Wesleyan College has honored the late founder of the MFA

<mask> (May 4, 1937 – May 29, 2016) was an American underwater archaeologist, considered the founding father of the field in the National Park Service. A native Californian, he did undergraduate and graduate work at Stanford University, and began his career with the National Park Service in 1959, which included assignments in six parks, the Washington, D.C. Office, and the Southeast Archaeological Center from which he retired in 1988. He began teaching courses in underwater archaeology at Florida State University in 1974 and co-instructed inter-disciplinary courses in scientific diving techniques. After retirement from the NPS his FSU activities were expanded and his assistance helped shape the university's program in underwater archaeology. <mask> was a true pioneer in the field of underwater archaeology and his students are now professors in the U.S. and abroad, serve as state, federal, and territorial archaeologists, direct non-profit research organizations, and work in the private sector. He founded and oversaw the underwater archaeology program for the National Park Service in 1968, and was involved with many of the early shipwreck excavations that are now required reading in introductory textbooks (such as the 1554 Padre Island galleons, 1733 galleon San Jose, 1622 galleon Rosario, 1748 British warship HMS Fowey, 1865 steamboat Bertrand). <mask> taught, as a volunteer at no cost to the university, for almost 30 years at Florida State University, which enabled their underwater archaeology program and introduced hundreds of students to this field.Personal life

United States Forest Service, and <mask> <mask>, a school teacher. He was raised in various small towns in northern California, including Alturus, Quincy and Tulelake. While in Tulelake, his mother taught school children at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, and found it more convenient to bring young <mask> along and teach him with the interned Japanese children. <mask> soon distinguished himself as the only Caucasian child that was hurling stones at the guards during recess. He met his wife, Nancy (Jane) <mask> while attending Stanford and they were married on June 20, 1961. Nancy gave birth to their only child, <mask> <mask>, on May 9, 1963, while <mask> was stationed at Montezuma Castle National Monument in Arizona. <mask> and Nancy lived in Tallahassee, Florida, during his career with the Southeast Archeological Center and Florida State University, and after his retirement.He died in Tallahassee, Florida, on May 29, 2016. He is survived by his wife and son. Education
<mask> attended Stanford University, performing his Undergraduate work from 1955 to 1960 and earning his Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, with minor concentrations in English and Geology. He continued with graduate school at Stanford from 1960–62 and has completed all requirements for his Master of Arts in Anthropology except thesis. <mask> dabbled part-time as a special student at Florida State University from 1972 to 1973 while employed at the Southeast Archaeological Center.

Monument. In 1962 he became a full-time employee with the NPS as Park Archaeologist at Montezuma Castle National Monument, and in 1964 he took a position as the Park Archaeologist at Ocmulgee National Monument.In 1966 <mask> moved on to become a Staff Archaeologist at the Division of Archaeology and Anthropology for the NPS in Washington, D.C. There <mask> performed general archaeological resource management and research and was able to pursue interests in underwater archaeology. 1972 saw <mask> transferring to Tallahassee to take a position as a Research Archaeologist at the Southeast Archaeological Center, and that institution's close association with the Florida State University Department of Anthropology led to <mask>'s work with archaeology faculty and students there. Upon his retirement from the NPS in 1988, <mask> became a Courtesy Assistant Professor for the Department of Anthropology. During his tenure at Florida State, he served as an instructor of underwater archaeology courses, lectured on topics relating to underwater archaeology for courses in historical archaeology, public archaeology, and Southeast colonial history, and assisted or co-instructed courses in scientific diving techniques and project management through the Academic Diving Program. <mask>'s instruction and mentoring capacities lessened in the late 1990s as he shifted more into retirement mode.

Frederica National Monument in Georgia.Projects in Florida outside the National Park System included investigations at Fort Picolata, St. John's County; a survey for HMS Fox (1799) at St. George Island; a survey of Ballast Cove, Dog Island; an underwater survey of Wakulla Springs; a project involving applications of underwater archaeological techniques to crime scene investigation for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement; and several investigations of shipwreck sites in Mobile Bay. He also taught portions of workshops that the Academic Diving Program has sponsored for outside agencies. Montezuma Well
In the earliest underwater archaeological investigations by the Park Service (October, 1968), <mask> directed a survey and testing of Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle National Monument, Arizona. Steamboat Bertrand
From July to September, 1969, <mask> served as field coordinator on the excavation of the 19th century steamboat Bertrand at Desoto National Wildlife Refuge on the Missouri River near Blair, Nebraska. Over 200,000 items were excavated from the wreck, whole objects in incredible condition, still packed in the original crates, with the names of the manufacturers, shippers and consignees; all dated to the morning of April 1, 1865. This opened his eyes to the "time capsule" nature of historic shipwreck sites, allowing one to see a specific day and an event caught in time, rather than working with fragments of artifacts and historical trash.

survey and preliminary assessment of underwater archaeological resources at Padre Island National Seashore in Texas.Preliminary research led to an underwater archaeological survey of 1554 Spanish Plate Fleet wrecks there, and excavation of the Galleon San Esteban, sponsored by Texas Antiquities Committee. Fort Jefferson
Fort Jefferson is a US Third System Fort 70 miles west of Key West in the Gulf of Mexico, and is the largest brick masonry fortification in the western hemisphere. In the late 1960s and early 1970s <mask> led evaluations of underwater archaeological resources, limited underwater archaeological survey and excavations, and extensive underwater archaeological survey and testing activities. The 1969 work marked the first extensive shipwreck survey by the NPS on park property, noting more than 20 sites. He also participated with staff of Earth Satellite Corporation in a remote sensing survey for historic shipwreck sites, and assisted in analysis of data. Work was conducted at Fort Jefferson in 1981 and 1982 in partnership with Florida State University. 1622 galleon Rosario
In the summer of 1981 and 1982 <mask> directed underwater archaeological investigations of what is considered the wreck of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario of the 1622 Spanish fleet, as well as an unidentified patache of the same fleet.This investigation revealed what could represent one of the pataches that was sent to salvage the Rosario less than a month after the hurricane that sank it, possibly documenting the speed with which the Spanish salvaged their own wrecks.

of Sir Francis Drake's brother. It had scored victories over French and Spanish ships in battle, but was lost on a reef at what is now known as the Legare Anchorage in Biscayne National Park in 1748. The sunken vessel became the subject of an ownership dispute with a part-time treasure salvor who presumed that it was part of the Spanish treasure fleet. Through legal conflicts and systematic surveys and archaeological investigations of the 1980s and 1990s, <mask> and his staff from the Park Service and students from Florida State University not only identified the sunken vessel but won a legal battle that effectively changed how Admiralty law was applied to submerged shipwreck sites. The court found that the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 was to be applied to submerged shipwreck sites as it is to historic sites on land, no longer allowing plundering by individuals using marine salvage and Admiralty law to profiteer from the non-archaeological salvage of a historic shipwreck in National Park grounds. This activity is seen by many of his colleagues and former students as <mask>'s defining act.Advisory Council on Underwater Archaeology
<mask> was also a founding member of the Advisory Council on Underwater Archaeology, an international committee of the Society for Historical Archaeology that provides advice and assistance to governments, institutions, and individuals on matters relating to the field. He currently holds emeritus status. FSU ADP

alleged that he had been abusive throughout their relationship. <mask> sued Heard for defamation in 2019 after she wrote an op-ed discussing being a public victim of domestic violence; the case will go to trial in 2022. He also sued the publishers of The Sun in a related libel suit in England.In 2020, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that <mask> had lost his libel case and that the majority of Heard's allegations had been proven to a civil standard. Early life and ancestry
John Christopher <mask> II was born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, the youngest of four children of waitress Betty Sue Palmer ( Wells) and civil engineer John Christopher <mask>. <mask>'s family moved frequently during his childhood, eventually settling in Miramar, Florida in 1970. His parents divorced in 1978 when he was 15, and his mother later married Robert Palmer, whom <mask> has called "an inspiration". <mask> was gifted a guitar by his mother when he was 12 years old, and began playing in various bands. He dropped out of Miramar High School aged 16 in 1979 to become a rock musician. He attempted to go back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician.In 1980, <mask> began playing guitar in a band called The Kids. After modest local success in Florida, the band moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to Six Gun Method. In addition to the band, <mask> worked a variety of odd jobs, such as in telemarketing. In December 1983, <mask> married make-up artist Lori Anne Allison, the sister of his band's bassist and singer. The Kids split up before signing a record deal in 1984, and <mask> subsequently began collaborating with the band Rock City

Angels. He co-wrote their song "Mary", which appeared on their debut Geffen Records album Young Man's Blues. <mask> and Allison divorced in 1985.<mask> is primarily of English descent, with some French, German, and Irish ancestry. His surname comes from a French Huguenot immigrant (Pierre Dieppe, who settled in Virginia around 1700). He is also descended from colonial freedom fighter Elizabeth Key Grinstead (1630–1665), daughter of English planter and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses Thomas Key and an African woman that he enslaved. In interviews in 2002 and 2011, <mask> claimed to have Native American ancestry, stating, "I guess I have some Native American somewhere down the line. My great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek Indian." <mask>'s claims came under scrutiny when Indian Country Today stated that <mask> had never inquired about his heritage nor was he recognized as a member of the Cherokee Nation.This led to criticism from the Native American community, as <mask> has no documented Native ancestry, and Native community leaders refer to him as "a non-Indian". <mask>'s choice to portray Tonto, a Native American character, in The Lone Ranger was criticized, along with his choice to name his rock band "Tonto's Giant Nuts". During the promotion for The Lone Ranger, <mask> was adopted as an honorary son by LaDonna Harris, a member of the Comanche Nation, making him an honorary member of her family but not a member of any tribe. Critical response to his claims from the Native community increased after this, including satirical portrayals of <mask> by Native comedians.

1984–1989: Early roles and 21 Jump Street
In the early 1980s, <mask>'s then-wife Lori Ann Allison introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage, who advised him to pursue an acting career. <mask> has also credited James Dean as the catalyst that made him want to become an actor.<mask>'s first film role was in the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), in which he played the boyfriend of the main character and one of Freddy Krueger's victims. After a starring role in the comedy Private Resort (1985), <mask> was cast in the lead role of the skating drama Thrashin' (1986) by the film's director, but the decision was later overridden by its producer. Instead, <mask> appeared in a minor supporting role as a Vietnamese-speaking private in Oliver Stone's Vietnam War drama Platoon (1986). <mask> became a teen idol during the late 1980s, when he starred as an undercover police officer in a high school operation in the Fox television series 21 Jump Street, which premiered in 1987. He accepted this role to work with actor Frederic Forrest, who inspired him. Despite his success, <mask> felt that the series "forced [him] into the role of product". 1990–2002: Independent films and first collaborations with Tim Burton
Disillusioned by his experiences as a teen idol in 21 Jump Street, <mask> began choosing roles which he found more interesting, rather than those he thought would succeed at the box office.His first film release in 1990 was John Waters' Cry-Baby, a musical comedy set in the 1950s. Although it was not a box office success upon its initial release,

over the years it has gained cult classic status. Also in 1990, <mask> played the title character in Tim Burton's romantic fantasy film Edward Scissorhands opposite Dianne Wiest and Winona Ryder. The film was a commercial and critical success with a domestic gross of $53 million. In preparation for the role, <mask> watched many Charlie Chaplin films to study the idea of creating sympathy without dialogue. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised <mask>'s performance stating that he "artfully expresses the fierce longing in gentle Edward; it's a terrific performance", while Rita Kempley of The Washington Post stated that he "brings the eloquence of the silent era to this part of few words, saying it all through bright black eyes and the tremulous care with which he holds his horror-movie hands. <mask> earned his first Golden Globe nomination for the film.<mask> had no film releases in the following two years, with the exception of a brief cameo in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991), the sixth installment in the A Nightmare of Elm Street franchise. He appeared in three films in 1993. In the romantic comedy Benny and Joon, he played an eccentric and illiterate silent film fan who befriends a mentally ill woman and her brother; it became a sleeper hit. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote that <mask> "may look nothing like Buster Keaton, but there are times when he genuinely seems to become the Great Stone Face, bringing Keaton's mannerisms sweetly and magically to life". <mask> received a second Golden Globe nomination for the performance. His second film of the year was Lasse Hallström's What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), a drama about a dysfunctional family in which he starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and

Juliette Lewis. It did not perform well commercially, but received positive notices from the critics.Although most of the reviews focused on DiCaprio, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance, Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote that "<mask> manages to command center screen with a greatly affable, appealing characterization". <mask>'s final 1993 release was Emir Kusturica's surrealist comedy-drama Arizona Dream, which opened to positive reviews, and won the Silver Bear at Berlin Film Festival. In 1994, <mask> reunited with director Tim Burton, playing the title role in Ed Wood, a biographical film about one of history's most inept film directors. <mask> later stated that he was at the time depressed about films and filmmaking, but that "within 10 minutes of hearing about the project, I was committed." He found that the role gave him a "chance to stretch out and have some fun" and that working with Martin Landau, who played Bela Lugosi, "rejuvenated my love for acting". Although it did not earn back its production costs, Ed Wood received a positive reception from the critics, with Janet Maslin of The New York Times writing that <mask> had "proved himself as an established, certified great actor" and "captured all the can-do optimism that kept Ed Wood going, thanks to an extremely funny ability to look at the silver lining of any cloud." <mask> was nominated for a third time for a Best Musical or Comedy Actor Golden Globe for his performance.The following year, <mask> starred in three films. He played opposite Marlon Brando in the box-office hit Don Juan DeMarco, as a man who believes he is Don Juan, the world's greatest lover. He then starred in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, a Western shot entirely in

black-and-white; it was not a commercial success and had mixed critical reviews. <mask>'s final film of the year was in the financial and critical failure Nick of Time, a thriller in which he played an accountant who is told to kill a politician to save his kidnapped daughter. In 1997, <mask> starred alongside Al Pacino in the crime drama Donnie Brasco, directed by Mike Newell. He portrayed Joseph D. Pistone, an undercover FBI Agent who assumes the name 'Donnie Brasco' in order to infiltrate the mafia in New York City. To prepare for the role, <mask> spent time with the real-life Joe Pistone, on whose memoirs the film was based.Donnie Brasco was a commercial and critical success, and is considered to contain one of <mask>'s finest performances. In 1997, <mask> also debuted as a director and screenwriter with The Brave. He starred in it as a poor Native American man who accepts a proposal from a wealthy man, played by Marlon Brando, to appear in a snuff film in exchange for money for his family. It premiered at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival for generally negative reviews. Variety dismissed the film as "a turgid and unbelievable neo-western", and Time Out stated that there's nothing inherently wrong with the film but that "besides the implausibilities, the direction has two fatal flaws: it's both tediously slow and hugely narcissistic as the camera focuses repeatedly on <mask>'s bandana'd head and rippling torso." Due to the negative reviews, <mask> decided not to release The Brave formally in the United States, neither in theaters nor on home media. <mask> was a fan and friend of writer Hunter S.

Thompson's pseudobiographical novel of the same name.It was a box office failure, and polarized critics. Later that year, <mask> made a brief cameo in Mika Kaurismäki's L.A. Without a Map (1998). <mask> appeared in three films in 1999. The first was the sci-fi thriller The Astronaut's Wife, co-starring Charlize Theron, which was not a commercial or critical success. The second, Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate, which starred <mask> as a seller of old books who becomes entangled in a mystery, was moderately more successful with audiences but received mixed reviews. <mask>'s third film of 1999 was Tim Burton's adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, where <mask> played Ichabod Crane opposite Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken.For his performance, <mask> took inspiration from Angela Lansbury, Roddy McDowall and Basil Rathbone, stating that he "always thought of Ichabod as a very delicate, fragile person who was maybe a little too in touch with his feminine side, like a frightened little girl." Sleepy Hollow was a commercial and critical success. <mask>'s first film release of the new millennium was British-French drama The Man Who Cried (2000), directed by Sally Potter and starring him as a Roma horseman opposite Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett and John Turturro.

Reception and public image
In the 1990s, <mask> was seen as a new type of male film star that rejected the norms of that role. After becoming a teen idol in 21 Jump Street, he publicly protested against the image, and with his subsequent film and PR choices began to cultivate a new public persona. According to journalist Hadley Freeman:
Similarly, film scholar Anna Everett has described <mask>'s 1990s films and public persona as "anti-macho" and "gender-bending", going against the conventions of a Hollywood leading man.After 21 Jump Street, <mask> chose to work in independent films, often taking on quirky roles that sometimes even completely obscured his looks, such as Edward Scissorhands. Critics often described <mask>'s characters as "iconic loners" or "gentle outsiders". According to <mask>, his agent, Tracey Jacobs of the United Talent Agency (UTA), had to take "a lot of heat over the years" for his role choices; <mask> characterized higher-ups at the UTA as thinking, "Jesus Christ! When does he do a movie where he kisses the girl? When does he get to pull a gun out and shoot somebody? When does he get to be a [fucking] man for a change? When is he finally going to do a blockbuster?"<mask> also cultivated the image of a bad boy. According to Everett, his "rule-breaking" roles matched with the "much publicized rebelliousness, unconventionality, and volatility ascribed to <mask>'s own personal life throughout the decade. From reports of his repeated confrontations with the police, trashing of a hotel room, chain smoking, drinking, and drug use, to his multiple engagements to such glamorous women as supermodel Kate Moss and Hollywood starlet Winona Ryder and others, we clearly see a perfect fit between his

non-conformist star image and his repertoire of outsider characters." After a decade of appearing mainly in independent films with varying commercial success, <mask> became one of the biggest box office draws in the 2000s with his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Walt Disney Studios' Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The five films in the series have earned US$4.5 billion as of 2021. In addition to the Pirates franchise, <mask> also made further four films with Tim Burton that were major successes, with one, Alice in Wonderland (2010), becoming the biggest commercial hit of <mask>'s career and one of the highest-grossing films in history (as of 2021). According to film scholar Murray Pomerance, <mask>'s collaboration with Disney "can be seen to purport and herald a new era for <mask>, one in which he is, finally, as though long-promised and long-expected, the proud proprietor of a much-accepted career; not only a star but a middle-class hero".In 2003, the same year as the first film in the Pirates series was released, <mask> was named "World's Sexiest Man" by People; he would receive the title again in 2009. During the decade and into the 2010s, <mask> was one of the biggest and most popular film stars in the world and was named by public vote as "Favorite Male Movie Star" at the People's Choice Awards every year for 2005 through 2012. In 2012, <mask> became the most highly paid actor in the American film industry, earning at best $75 million per film, and as of 2020, is the tenth highest-grossing actor worldwide, with his films having grossed over US$3.7 billion at the United States box office and over US$10 billion worldwide.

In the 2010s, <mask>'s films were less successful, with many big-budget studio films such as Dark Shadows (2012), The Lone Ranger (2013), and Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) underperforming at the box office and gaining <mask> nominations for Golden Raspberry Awards. <mask> also received negative publicity due to allegations of domestic violence, substance abuse, poor on-set behavior and the loss of his US$650 million fortune.After losing a highly publicized libel trial against the publishers of The Sun, <mask> was asked to resign from Warner Bros.'
