paragraph: Othon de la Roche

paragraph: Othon de la Roche, also Otho de la Roche (died before 1234), was a Burgundian nobleman of the De la Roche family from La Roche-sur-l'Ognon. He joined the Fourth Crusade and became the first Frankish Lord of Athens in 1204. In addition to Athens, he acquired Thebes by around 1211.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The chronicler Alberic of Trois-Fontaines writes that Othon was the son of "a certain noble Pons of La Roche in Burgundy". The identification of La Roche is uncertain, because Burgundy may refer either to the Free County or to the Duchy of Burgundy. La Roche-sur-l'Ognon, a hamlet by Rigney in the Free County, is the most probable candidate, because of its proximity to Flagey, Venise and other domains of Othon's family.

paragraph: Othon confirmed his forefathers' donations to the Charlieu Abbey in 1195. He was with the Fourth Crusade on its arrival before the walls of Constantinople in 1203. At that time, he was a member of the "sixth division" of the crusading army, which "was formed by the people of Burgundy", according to the chronicler Geoffrey of Villehardouin. The crusaders captured Constantinople on 12 April 1204. They started the conquest of the Byzantine Empire under the command of Baldwin IX of Flanders who was elected the first Latin Emperor of Constantinople on 9 May.

paragraph: The distribution of the conquered lands gave rise to conflicts among the commanders of the crusaders. Boniface of Montferratone of the most influential leaders of the Crusadeeven laid siege to Adrianople, a town recently captured by Emperor Baldwin. In order to reach an agreement, the crusaders' other commanders initiated negotiations with Boniface. Villehardouin writes that Othon de la Roche was one of the four "chief counsellors" of Boniface during the discussions.

paragraph: An agreement on the distribution of the Byzantine Empire was reached in October 1204. Boniface of Montferrat's claim to the western regions of the Byzantine Empire was tacitly acknowledged. He went on to conquer Thessaly, Boeotia and Attica in November, granting these regions to his commanders. To Othon de la Roche, he gave Athens. It is possible that Othon also received Thebes from Boniface, although Jean Longnon has argued that Boniface granted Thebes to Albertino and Rolandino of Canossa after the conquest.

paragraph: Section::::Lord of Athens.

paragraph: Othon took the title of "Megaskyr" (μεγασκύρ) or "Grand Lord" in Athens. There is uncertainty about when and how or even if he acquired the title "Duke" ("dux"). The traditional account, found in the "Chronicle of the Morea", states that it was first officially bestowed by King Louis IX of France around 1259 to Othon's successor, Guy I de la Roche. The title does appear in some pre-1260 documents, including a letter of Pope Innocent III from July 1208, which refers to Othon as Duke, although the papal chancery generally preferred "Lord".

paragraph: The Acropolis of Athens was fortified in Othon's reign. According to Longnon, following the specialist Antoine Bon, Othon had a square tower erected by the main entrance of the citadel. Othon seems to have supported the development the Latin Church in his domains. Pope Innocent III confirmed on 27 November 1206 that Berard, the first Catholic Archbishop of Athens succeeded his Orthodox predecessor, Michael Choniates. Othon had good relations with the Cistercian Bellevaux Abbey in his native Burgundy. He established some monks from Bellevaux at Daphni Monastery in his Greek domains in about 1207. A portico in the Burgundian style still evokes their memory.

paragraph: After the sudden death of Othon's overlord, Boniface of Montferrat, in September 1207, many of Boniface's former vassals started to plot against the new Latin Emperor, Henry of Flanders. Othon remained loyal to the Emperor, a stance which "may have cost him Thebes" (if he already possessed it), as Albertino of Canossa was in possession of the citadel of this town in this period.

paragraph: Othon married his wife Isabelle in late 1208. Othon's first conflict with the Church was recorded around the same time: he forced Archbishop Berard to renounce the right to appoint the treasurer of the Athens Cathedral on his behalf. Pope Innocent III authorized the Archbishop of Larissa to investigate the case.

paragraph: Emperor Henry called his first of two parliaments at Ravennika and Othon made an appearance to demonstrate his loyalty to his suzerain in the first days of May 1209. The Emperor captured Thebes from Albertino of Canossa on 8 May and visited Athens, where Othon received him with great respect. Even so, historian Jean Longnon writes that Othon never recognised Henry as his direct overlord and remained loyal to Boniface of Montferrat's successor, King Demetrius of Thessalonica, until the end of the Kingdom of Thessalonica in 1224. Likewise uncertain is whether Othon received Thebes from Emperor Henry in 1209, or whether the town was not granted to him prior to 1211.

paragraph: On 2 May 1210, at the second parliament of Ravennika, Othon ratified the pact between church and state, signing as "Othon de la Roche, lord of Athens" ("Otto de Roccha, dominus Athenarum"). However, he did little to effect it. He was accused of treating the Greek priests as serfs, since many of them were former serfs raised to their clerical status by Greek prelates desiring to lift the heavy burden the Franks could impose with their "corvées" on the local populace.

paragraph: With Geoffrey, Othon embarked on a series of military adventures to consolidate mainland Greece. Together they took Acrocorinth (1210), Argos and Nauplia (1212). In compensation, he received two lordships in the Argolid: Argos and Nauplia and Damala. According to Marino Sanudo Torsello, he acquired the "kommerkion" (a right to tax commerce) of Corinth as well. The city of Thebes itself became Othon's capital and the economic centre of his domains, due to its silk industry. Athens itself remained Othon's residence. There he lived in his castle atop the Acropolis.

paragraph: Between 1208 and 1213 there was a steady stream of correspondence between Othon and Pope Innocent, because the Latin clergy of Attica made frequent complaints about Othon's conduct. In 1214 he gave the castle of Livadeia to the pope and received it back as a fief in exchange for an annual tribute. Between 1217 and 1225 he also kept a correspondence with Pope Honorius III. In response to the grievances of the Athenian clergy, Honorius excommunicated him and placed his domains under interdict. About 1223, Othon came to an agreement with the pope by which he returned church lands, but kept church furnishings at the cost of an annual indemnity. A quota, proportional to the population of the community, was also placed on the number priests per parish.

paragraph: In 1217 and 1221 he also granted Bellevaux the right to the catch of the fisheries of La Roche and Ray on set dates of the year.

paragraph: Othon ceases to be mentioned after 1225, when he is commonly held to have resigned the Duchy of Athens to his son Guy I and returned home to Burgundy with his wife, although this is unsubstantiated. He died sometime before 1234, since in that year his other son called himself "a son of the former lord Othon, duke of Athens" ("filius quondam domini Ottonis, ducis Athenarum").

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Othon's wife name was Isabel (and its variant Elisabeth). She is generally described as the daughter and heiress of Guy, lord of Ray-sur-Saône in the Free County of Burgundy. According to Longnon however, she was the daughter of Clarembaud IV of Chappes, a lord from Champagne. She gave birth to two sons, Guy and Othon. Othon inherited the lordship of Ray. Guy is traditionally held to have inherited La Roche, while the duchy is said to have passed to a nephew of Othon's also named Guy. Longnon has challenged this view according to a chart in which Othon of Ray, son of Othon de la Roche, presents the duke Guy as his brother - meaning that Guy would be Othon's son and not his nephew. While most members of the La Roche family lived in the Free County of Burgundy, some of them settled in Athens. For instance, a great-grandson of his, Walter, was a member of the Chapter of the Parthenon in 1292.

paragraph: Virgilio Noè

paragraph: Virgilio Noè (30 March 1922 – 24 July 2011) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate and cardinal. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 1991.

paragraph: Section::::Early Life and Ministry.

paragraph: Virgilio Noè was born in 1922 in Zelata di Bereguardo, Lombardy, where the house is marked by a commemorative plaque. He studied at the Seminary of Pavia and was ordained a priest on 1 October 1944 by the Bishop of Pavia, Carlo Allorio. After ordination he became parish priest of the parish of "San Salvatore" in Pavia and founded a youth association with the aim especially of promoting participation in the Liturgy.

paragraph: In 1948 Bishop, Allorio sent him to Rome for studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University, where he gained a doctorate in ecclesiastical history in 1952, with a thesis entitled "La politica religiosa dei re longobardi" ("The Religious Policies of the Lombard Kings").

paragraph: On returning to the diocese he taught Ecclesiastical History, Patristics, Liturgy and Art History in the seminaries of Pavia and Tortona. In this period he was also spiritual director in the "Collegio Sant'Agostino" and the "Collegio San Giorgio", and played a leading role in the diocesan liturgical commission. Among the projects undertaken were diocesan Eucharistic Congresses in 1956 and 1964, in the first of which the Archbishop of Milan, Giovanni Battista Montini took part.

paragraph: Section::::Activity in Rome.

paragraph: In the years 1964-1969, starting therefore during the period of the Second Vatican Council, he was in charge of the national "Centro di Azione Liturgica" ("Centre for Liturgical Action") in Rome, and editor of its journal "Liturgia". He was also lecturer in Sacred Art at the recently founded Pontifical Liturgical Institute of Sant'Anselmo in the city, and when a commission was formed to revise the papal liturgical celebrations, he was made a member. From 1966 to 1968 he also served as vice-rector of the Pontifical Lombard Seminary ("Pontificio Seminario Lombardo dei SS. Ambrogio e Carlo") in Rome.

paragraph: When the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship ("Sacra Congregatio pro Cultu Divino") was established in 1969 to take over the historical brief for liturgical affairs handled since 1588 by the Sacred Congregation of Rites ("Sacra Rituum Congregatio"), Mons. Noè was appointed its Undersecretary and held the post until the Congregation's short life came to an end. In the meantime, in 1970, Pope Paul VI appointed him Master of ceremonies, a post now renamed for the first time "Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations" and which he held until his appointment as a bishop in 1982, when Mons. John Magee was appointed to succeed him. In the same period he was chaplain to what is since called the Papal Gendarmeria.

paragraph: During his period in the office, the challenge for Mons. Noè was to find ways of apply the governing principles and the practical norms of the new liturgical books that were gradually being revised and published to unique circumstances of the papal liturgy. The papal liturgy is in many respects seen as a model, but is also almost always televised and has some papal rites which in the nature of things are peculiar to it. The results of Mons. Noè's work were generally considered a success. The new papal practice which he established was moderate and sober, had dignity, but was devoid of flamboyance. The Masses and the more frequent liturgies for e beatifications and canonizations, but also the special ceremonies called for by the Jubilee of 1975, the funeral of Paul VI and the inauguration of the pontificates of his successors, were all given a new shape. The issuing of tasteful booklets for the people that were collector's items in their own right became a consolidated practice.

paragraph: Throughout this period, Mons. Noè's career then followed the complicated course of successive partial internal organizations of the Roman Curia. When in the summer of 1975 the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship was amalgamated with the Sacred Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacraments ("Sacra Congregatio de Disciplina Sacramentorum") (founded in 1908 by Pope Pius X) to form a Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship ("Sacra Congregatio de Sacramentis et Cultu Divino"), Mons. Noè was appointed Undersecretary in charge of liturgical affairs.

paragraph: Section::::Archbishop and Cardinal.

paragraph: On 30 January 1982 Mons. Noè was promoted to the rank of Secretary in the Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship ("Sacra Congregatio de Sacramentis et Cultu Divino"), and simultaneously made Titular Archbishop of Voncaria. He was ordained a bishop on 6 March 1982 in St Peter's Basilica by Pope John Paul II, assisted by Archbishop Eduardo Martínez Somalo and Bishop Antonio Giuseppe Angioni, Bishop of Pavia. Archbishop, later Cardinal, Martínez, was at the time "Sostituto" or Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State. In his new rank the now Archbishop Noè had again a particular status within the Congregation as being specifically in charge of a distinct section for Divine Worship.

paragraph: Between 1984 and 1988 the dicastery was briefly redivided into the Congregation for the Sacraments ("Congregatio de Sacramentis") and the Congregation for Divine Worship ("Congregatio de Cultu Divino") under a single Prefect. In this new version of the latter, Archbishop Noè was the sole Archbishop Secretary, according to the classic system. Then, as a result of the Apostolic Constitution "Pastor Bonus" of 1988, this move was reversed and there emerged the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments ("Sacra Congregatio de Cultu Divino de et Disciplina Sacramentorum"), which still exists. In this new entity, Archbishop Noè was no longer the sole Archbishop Secretary, but reverted to being once more Archbishop Secretary but in charge of a distinct section for Divine Worship.

paragraph: The habits of the Roman Curia at the time foresaw what was called the zigzag system, whereby in order to achieve promotion at the higher ranks, it was necessary to move from one dicastery to another, each move being accompanied by a promotion in rank. Based on no private information, but on the known zigzag principle, it was clear that for a further promotion, there had to be a move to some other part of the Curia. In fact, when the building blocks of a wider series of curial changes were in place, Archbishop Noè was soon transferred to a completely different area and became Delegate of the Fabric of St. Peter, an entity that is not part of the Roman Curia, but recognized by the 1988 apostolic constitution "Pastor bonus" as "closely associated with the Holy See." The appointment took effect on 24 May 1989. In formal terms the new posting was of equivalent rank to Archbishop Noè's previous appointment. However, it was clearly a promotion in that he was now the number two of an organization that had considerable administrative and financial autonomy and a large workforce, perhaps 6-7 times as many as his former Congregation and perhaps 20 times as many as its liturgical section. Moreover, the elderly head of the Fabric of St. Peter, cardinal Aurelio Sabattani (1983-1991), was not then in robust health, so authority resided in practice with Archbishop Noè, who in fact was given additionally the title of Coadjutor Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: The new Delegate took charge and ruled with a firm hand. While the public saw nothing of internal organization matters, it could not but notice how the place gleamed. In a setting where there was in reality limited scope for radical innovation, he nevertheless brought his background in art history and his esthetic good taste to bear. Given his long period of office, which lasted unusually until he reached the age of 80, the cumulative effects of his policies were considerable.

paragraph: Archbishop Noè was created Cardinal-Deacon of "S. Giovanni Bosco in Via Tuscolana" in the consistory of 28 June 1991 by Pope John Paul II. Three days later, he was made Archpriest of the St. Peter's Basilica, and hence President of the Fabric of St. Peter. Moreover, as a consequence of the measures established by the papal Chirograph of 14 January 1991 regulating the office of Vicar General of the Vatican City, on becoming Archpriest, he also automatically assumed that post.

paragraph: From 1993 to 1996 he was additionally President of the Cardinalatial Commission for the Pontifical Shrines of Pompei, Loreto and Bari.

paragraph: As is the custom, after 10 years as Cardinal-Deacon, Cardinal Noè took the option of petitioning to be elevated to the rank of Cardinal-Priest with the titular church of "Regina Apostolorum" as of 26 February 2002. He briefly attracted attention when he claimed that Pope Paul VI spoke of the "smoke of Satan" in the Catholic Church, he was referring to priests who celebrated Mass badly.

paragraph: Section::::Death and Burial.

paragraph: On 24 July 2011, Cardinal Noè died in Rome at the age of 89. His funeral Mass was celebrated on 26 July 2011 in the apse of St. Peter's Basilica, by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Dean of the College of Cardinals and concelebrated by a large number of Cardinals and bishops. He is buried in the cemetery of Campo Verano, Rome.

paragraph: Henry Clifford, 10th Baron Clifford

paragraph: Henry Clifford, 10th Baron de Clifford, also 10th feudal baron of Skipton (ca. 1454 – 23 April 1523) was a member of the Clifford family. He was one of the chief commanders in the Battle of Flodden against the Scots in 1513.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was the son of John Clifford, 9th Baron de Clifford, a notorious military leader in the earlier stages of the Wars of the Roses. At the 1460 Battle of Wakefield, the 9th baron allegedly murdered the young Earl of Rutland, brother to the future King Edward IV. Edward Hall originated a story in the 16th-century that Clifford was hidden by his mother among the tenant shepherds on the Cumbrian Fells, to avoid possible revenge by the Yorkist monarchs. However, Henry Summerson, writing in the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", refutes the suggestion, noting that

paragraph: There is no evidence, later stories to the contrary notwithstanding, that the seven-year-old Henry Clifford was ever pursued by vengeful Yorkists, and the legend of the Shepherd Lord first recounted by Edward Hall in the mid-sixteenth century—telling of the young fugitive brought up among remote sheepfolds, so that he never learned to read, while his younger brother Richard was smuggled overseas, where he died—hardly stands up to scrutiny. Henry Clifford was later to be not just literate but even bookish, owning volumes on law and medicine, and developing a taste for astronomy and alchemy, while his brother is recorded in England as late as 1499. It may be that the Clifford heir thought it prudent to keep a low profile, but...on 16 March 1472 Edward IV granted him a formal pardon.

paragraph: The historical North Country legend of the Shepherd Lord, was commemorated by the regional poet William Wordsworth in his work "Song at the Feast of Brougham Castle upon the Restoration of Lord Clifford, the Shepherd, to the Estates and Honours of his Ancestors". It is also featured in the 1890s opera "Henry Clifford" by Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was the hereditary Sheriff of Westmorland from his restoration until his death.

paragraph: However, at the age of sixty, once again his family was called into service by Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey who intended to repel the attacking Scots. Henry Clifford led an army of several thousand men northward and met the Scots on Flodden Field where the English won a decisive victory, and King James IV of Scotland was killed.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: At some time before 1493 Clifford married Anne St John, who was the daughter of Sir John St John of Bletsoe (1426–1488) by his wife Alice Bradshaigh, and granddaughter of Margaret Beauchamp of Bletso. His eldest son and heir was Henry Clifford, 1st Earl of Cumberland.

paragraph: Holger Hieronymus

paragraph: Holger Hieronymus (born 22 February 1959, in Hamburg) is a German former footballer who played as a defender.

paragraph: Hieronymus started his career with local side TuS Hamburg at the age of six and was a promising talent for the sweeper position when the then Hamburger SV general manager Günter Netzer snapped him up from local counterpart FC St. Pauli for DM 75,000 following Hamburger SV's Bundesliga title in 1979. The next Bundesliga season saw the technically gifted player playing his first games, being a starter in the European Cup final defeat of his side against Nottingham Forest at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on 28 May 1980. Failing to claim the Bundesliga trophy of 1980 and 1981, on both occasions Hamburg finished second, Hieronymus won his first trophy in 1982 when Hamburg won the league. That same summer he and his side crashed to Sven-Göran Eriksson's IFK Göteborg in the two-legged UEFA Cup final. In 1983 his club retained the Bundesliga title and, further, beat Juventus in the European Cup final in Athens. He was back as a regular in the line-ups of Hamburg manager Ernst Happel after his career had, for some time, been called to a halt due to his club signing veteran German legend Franz Beckenbauer in November 1980.

paragraph: The most tragic moment of his playing days, however, happened on 31 March 1984, in the Bundesliga tie against SV Waldhof Mannheim. With less than fifteen minutes left on the clock, Hieronymus received a career-ending injury. A cruciate ligament rupture synchronized with a deltoid ligament rupture and, together with, a caused menisci and knee cartilage damage forced him to retire in 1985, over a year after that incident. At the time he finally abandoned the hope of recovery, merely 26 years of age, the talented sweeper had played in 121 Bundesliga matches (seven goals) for Hamburger SV.

paragraph: For West Germany Holger Hieronymus was capped three times in between September 1981 and October 1982, each as a substitute and just the final of those (he came on for injured Karlheinz Förster in the fifth minute in a friendly win over England at Wembley on 13 October 1982) for a duration of more than parts of the second-half. Still, he was selected by Jupp Derwall for the 1982 FIFA World Cup, staying unused throughout the competition.

paragraph: Looking for a different occupation after his premature retirement, Hieronymus first founded a sports center for the obese and was later, together with his former teammate Ditmar Jakobs (whose career had also abruptly been ended by horrible injury), co-founder of an injury rehabilitation centre. Leaving these jobs aside, Hieronymus enjoyed a return to Hamburger SV in 1997 as the new marketing manager of "Die Rothosen". From June 1998 to August 2002 he operated as general manager of the club. On 1 February 2005, he took a leading position at "DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga GmbH", which can be seen as the governing entity that governs the Bundesliga competition.

paragraph: Tony Curtis

paragraph: Tony Curtis (born Bernard Schwartz; June 3, 1925September 29, 2010) was an American film actor whose career spanned six decades but who achieved the height of his popularity in the 1950s and early 1960s. He acted in more than 100 films in roles covering a wide range of genres, from light comedy to serious drama. In his later years, Curtis made numerous television appearances.

paragraph: Although his early film roles mainly took advantage of his good looks, by the latter half of the 1950s he had demonstrated range and depth in numerous dramatic and comedy roles. In his earliest parts he acted in a string of mediocre films, including swashbucklers, westerns, light comedies, sports films and a musical. However, by the time he starred in "Houdini" (1953) with his wife Janet Leigh, "his first clear success," notes critic David Thomson, his acting had progressed immensely.

paragraph: He achieved his first serious recognition as a dramatic actor in "Sweet Smell of Success" (1957) with co-star Burt Lancaster. The following year he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in "The Defiant Ones" (1958) alongside Sidney Poitier (who was also nominated in the same category). Curtis then gave what could arguably be called his best performance: three interrelated roles in the comedy "Some Like It Hot" (1959). Thomson called it an "outrageous film," and an American Film Institute survey voted it the funniest American film ever made. The film co-starred Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, and was directed by Billy Wilder. That was followed by Blake Edwards’s "Operation Petticoat" (1959) with Cary Grant. They were both frantic comedies, and displayed his impeccable comic timing. He often collaborated with Edwards on later films. In 1960, Curtis played a supporting role in "Spartacus", which became another major hit for him.

paragraph: His stardom and film career declined considerably after 1960. His most significant dramatic part came in 1968 when he starred in the true-life drama "The Boston Strangler", which some consider his last major film role. The part reinforced his reputation as a serious actor with his chilling portrayal of serial killer Albert DeSalvo.

paragraph: He later starred alongside Roger Moore in the ITC TV series "The Persuaders!", with Curtis playing American millionaire Danny Wilde. The series ran twenty-four episodes.

paragraph: Curtis is the father of actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis by his first wife, actress Janet Leigh.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Tony Curtis was born Bernard Schwartz on June 3, 1925, at the Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital on 105th Street in Manhattan, New York City, the first of three boys born to Helen (née Klein) and Emanuel Schwartz.

paragraph: Biographies have propagated a misconception that he was born in the Bronx, probably due to the family's moves when he was very young, but Tony pointedly corrected this in a TV interview.

paragraph: His parents were Jewish emigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary: his father was born in Ópályi, near Mátészalka, and his mother was a native of Nagymihály (now Michalovce, Slovakia); she later said she arrived in the U.S. from Válykó (now Vaľkovo, Slovakia). He did not learn English until he was five or six, delaying his schooling. His father was a tailor and the family lived in the back of the shop—his parents in one corner and Curtis and his brothers Julius and Robert in another. His mother once made an appearance as a participant on the television show "You Bet Your Life", hosted by Groucho Marx. Curtis said, "When I was a child, Mom beat me up and was very aggressive and antagonistic." His mother was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. His brother Robert was institutionalized with the same mental illness.

paragraph: When Curtis was eight, he and his brother Julius were placed in an orphanage for a month because their parents could not afford to feed them. Four years later, Julius was struck and killed by a truck. Curtis joined a neighborhood gang whose main crimes were playing hooky from school and minor pilfering at the local dime store. When Curtis was 11, a friendly neighbor saved him from what he felt would have led to a life of delinquency by sending him to a Boy Scout camp, where he was able to work off his energy and settle down. He attended Seward Park High School. At 16, he had his first small acting part in a school stage play.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Military service.

paragraph: Curtis enlisted in the United States Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Inspired by Cary Grant's role in "Destination Tokyo" and Tyrone Power's in "Crash Dive" (1943), he joined the Pacific submarine force. Curtis served aboard a submarine tender, the USS "Proteus""," until the end of the Second World War. On September 2, 1945, Curtis witnessed the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay from his ship's signal bridge about a mile away.

paragraph: Following his discharge from the Navy, Curtis attended City College of New York on the G.I. Bill. He then studied acting at The New School in Greenwich Village under the influential German stage director Erwin Piscator. His contemporaries included Elaine Stritch, Harry Belafonte, Walter Matthau, Beatrice Arthur, and Rod Steiger. While still at college, Curtis was discovered by Joyce Selznick, the notable talent agent, casting director, and niece of film producer David O. Selznick.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1948, Curtis arrived in Hollywood at age 23. In his autobiography, Curtis described how by chance he met Jack Warner on the plane to California, and also how he briefly dated Marilyn Monroe before either was famous.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Universal as "Anthony Curtis".

paragraph: Under contract at Universal Pictures, he changed his name from Bernard Schwartz to Anthony Curtis and met unknown actors Rock Hudson, James Best, Julie Adams and Piper Laurie. The first name was from the novel "Anthony Adverse" and "Curtis" was from Kurtz, a surname in his mother's family. Although Universal Pictures taught him fencing and riding, in keeping with the cinematic themes of the era, Curtis admitted he was at first interested only in girls and money. Neither was he hopeful of his chances of becoming a major star. Curtis's biggest fear was having to return home to the Bronx as a failure:

paragraph: I was a million-to-one shot, the "least" likely to succeed. I wasn't low man on the totem pole, I was "under" the totem pole, in a sewer, tied to a sack.

paragraph: Curtis's uncredited screen debut came in "Criss Cross" (1949) playing a rumba dancer, dancing with Yvonne de Carlo. The male star was Burt Lancaster who would make a number of films with Curtis.

paragraph: In his second film, "City Across the River" (also in 1949), he was credited as "Anthony Curtis". He had four lines in "The Lady Gambles" (1949) and a bigger part in "Johnny Stool Pigeon" (1949). He could also be spotted in "Francis" (1950), "Woman in Hiding" (1950), and "I Was a Shoplifter" (1950).

paragraph: He was in three Westerns, "Sierra" (1950), starring Audie Murphy, one of many names he worked with (including fellow Universal contractee, Rock Hudson), "Winchester '73" (1950), starring James Stewart and Shelley Winters. He supported Murphy in another Western, "Kansas Raiders" (1951), playing Kit Dalton; this time he was billed as "Tony Curtis".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Stardom.

paragraph: Curtis was receiving numerous fan letters, so Universal awarded him the starring role in "The Prince Who Was a Thief" (1951), a swashbuckler set in the Middle East with Piper Laurie. It was a hit at the box office and Curtis was now established.

paragraph: He followed it up with "Flesh and Fury" (1952), a boxing movie; "No Room for the Groom" (1952), a comedy with Laurie directed by Douglas Sirk; and "Son of Ali Baba" (1952), another film set in the Arab world with Laurie.

paragraph: Curtis then teamed up with then-wife Janet Leigh in "Houdini" (1953), in which Curtis played the title role. His next movies were more "B" fare: "All American" (1953), as a footballer; "Forbidden" (1953), as a criminal; "Beachhead" (1954), a war film; "Johnny Dark" (1954), with Laurie, as a racing car driver; and "The Black Shield of Falworth" (1954), a medieval swashbuckler with Leigh. The box office performances of these films were solid, and Curtis was growing in popularity.

paragraph: For a change of pace he did a musical, "So This Is Paris" (1955), then it was back to more typical fare: "Six Bridges to Cross" (1955), as a bank robber; "The Purple Mask" (1955), a swashbuckler; "The Square Jungle" (1955), a boxing film.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major star.

paragraph: Curtis graduated to more prestigious projects when he was cast in support of Burt Lancaster and Gina Lollobrigida in "Trapeze" (1956). It was one of the biggest hits of the year.

paragraph: Curtis made a Western, "The Rawhide Years" (1957); was a gambler in "Mister Cory" (1957); and was a cop in "The Midnight Story" (1957). Lancaster asked for him again, to play scheming press agent Sidney Falco in "Sweet Smell of Success" (1957), starring and co-produced by Lancaster. The film was a box office disappointment, but Curtis, for the first time in his career, received sensational reviews.

paragraph: Another star-maker was eager to work with him - Kirk Douglas - in "The Vikings" (1958). Janet Leigh also starred, and the resulting movie was a box office hit. Curtis then co-starred with Frank Sinatra and Natalie Wood in "Kings Go Forth" (1958), a war story. It was mildly popular, but "The Defiant Ones" (1958), was a bigger success. Curtis gave an Oscar-nominated performance as a bigoted white escaped convict chained to a black man, Sidney Poitier.

paragraph: Curtis and Leigh then made a popular comedy for Blake Edwards at Universal, "The Perfect Furlough" (1958). He co-starred with Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" (1959). It was a huge success and became a classic; equally popular was "Operation Petticoat" (1959), a military comedy which Curtis made for Edwards alongside Cary Grant.

paragraph: Curtis and Leigh made one more film together "Who Was That Lady?" (1960), a comedy with Dean Martin. He and Debbie Reynolds then starred in the romantic comedy "The Rat Race" (1960).

paragraph: Douglas came calling again, offering Curtis a key role in the former's epic production "Spartacus" (1960). It was a huge hit and earned Curtis a Golden Globe nomination.

paragraph: Curtis then made his first movies in a while without a significant "name" co star. Both were biopics: "The Great Impostor" (1961), directed by Robert Mulligan, playing Ferdinand Waldo Demara; and "The Outsider" (1961), where he played war hero Ira Hayes. He went back to epics with "Taras Bulba" (1962), co starring Yul Brynner and Christine Kaufmann, who soon became Curtis' second wife.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Comedic roles.

paragraph: He starred with Suzanne Pleshette in the comedy "40 Pounds of Trouble" (1962), which was a mild hit.

paragraph: Curtis was one of many stars who had small roles in "The List of Adrian Messenger" (1963). He supported Gregory Peck in "Captain Newman, M.D." (1963) and had an uncredited dual role in "Paris When It Sizzles" (1964). He and Kaufman made their third movie together, the comedy "Wild and Wonderful" (1964). His focus remained on comedies: "Goodbye Charlie" (1964), with Debbie Reynolds; "Sex and the Single Girl" (1964), with Natalie Wood; "The Great Race" (1965), with Wood and Lemmon for Blake Edwards — the most expensive comedy film up till that time, but popular; "Boeing Boeing" (1965) a sex farce with Jerry Lewis; "Not with My Wife, You Don't!" (1966) with George C. Scott; "Drop Dead Darling" (1966), a British comedy; "Don't Make Waves" (1967), a satire of beach life from director Alexander Mackendrick, with Claudia Cardinale; and "On My Way to the Crusades, I Met a Girl Who..." (1967), an Italian comedy with Monica Vitti. In the early 1960s, he was a voice-over guest star on "The Flintstones" as "Stoney Curtis".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"The Boston Strangler".

paragraph: Curtis's first dramatic film after a number of years was "The Boston Strangler" (1968) playing the title role. Response from the critics and public was excellent. He returned to comedy for "Monte Carlo or Bust!" (1969), an all-star car race film in the vein of "The Great Race".

paragraph: He made some comic adventure tales: "You Can't Win 'Em All" (1970) with Charles Bronson and "Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came" (1970).

paragraph: Curtis decided it was time to turn to television and co-starred with Roger Moore in the TV series "The Persuaders!".

paragraph: He was one of the villains in "The Count of Monte Cristo" (1975) and had the title role in the gangster film "Lepke" (1975). Curtis had the lead in a TV series that did not last, "McCoy" (1975-76). He was one of many names in "The Last Tycoon" (1976) and had the title role in an Italian comedy "Casanova & Co." (1977). Later, he co-starred in "Vega$" and was in "The Users" (1978).

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Later career.

paragraph: Curtis supported Mae West in "Sextette" (1978) and starred in "The Manitou" (1978), a horror film, and "The Bad News Bears Go to Japan" (1978), a comedy. He had good roles in "It Rained All Night the Day I Left" (1980), "Little Miss Marker" (1980) and "The Scarlett O'Hara War" (1980) and was one of many stars in "The Mirror Crack'd" (1980). On television, he continued to make occasional guest appearances (sometimes playing fictional versions of himself) into the mid-2000s. His final TV series was as host of the documentary-retrospective series (adapting Kenneth Anger's book series) in 1992-93; each episode would include Curtis recalling some anecdotes from his own career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Painter.

paragraph: Throughout his life, Curtis enjoyed painting and, since the early 1980s, painted as a second career. His work commands more than $25,000 a canvas now. In the last years of his life, he concentrated on painting rather than movies. A surrealist, Curtis claimed Van Gogh, [Paul] Matisse, Picasso, and Magritte as influences. "I still make movies but I'm not that interested in them any more. But I paint all the time." In 2007, his painting "The Red Table" was on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. His paintings can also be seen at the Tony Vanderploeg Gallery in Carmel, California.

paragraph: Curtis spoke of his disappointment at never being awarded an Oscar. In March 2006, Curtis received the Sony Ericsson Empire Lifetime Achievement Award. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame inducted in 1960, and received the "Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" from France in 1995.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Marriages and children.

paragraph: Curtis was married six times. His first wife was actress Janet Leigh, to whom he was married from 1951 to 1962, and with whom he fathered actresses Kelly and Jamie Lee. "For a while, we were Hollywood's golden couple," he said. "I was very dedicated and devoted to Janet, and on top of my trade, but in her eyes that goldenness started to wear off. I realized that whatever I was, I wasn't enough for Janet. That hurt me a lot and broke my heart."

paragraph: The studio he was under contract with, Universal-International, generally stayed out of their stars' love lives. However, when they chose to get married, studio executives spent three days trying to talk him out of it, telling him he would be "poisoning himself at the box office." They threatened "banishment" back to the Bronx and the end of his budding career. In response, Curtis and Leigh decided to defy the studio heads and instead eloped and were married by a local judge in Greenwich, Connecticut. Comedian and close friend Jerry Lewis was present as a witness.

paragraph: The couple divorced in 1962, and the following year Curtis married Christine Kaufmann, the 18-year-old German co-star of his latest film, "Taras Bulba." He stated that his marriage with Leigh had effectively ended "a year earlier". Curtis and Kaufmann had two daughters, Alexandra (born July 19, 1964) and Allegra (born July 11, 1966). They divorced in 1968. Kaufmann resumed her career, which she had interrupted during her marriage.

paragraph: On April 20, 1968, Curtis married Leslie Allen, with whom he had two sons: Nicholas Bernard (December 31, 1970 – July 2, 1994) and Benjamin Curtis (born May 2, 1973). The couple divorced in 1982.

paragraph: Two years later, in 1984, Curtis married Andrea Savio; they divorced in 1992.

paragraph: The following year, on February 28, 1993, he married Lisa Deutsch. They divorced only a year later in 1994.

paragraph: His sixth and last wife, Jill Vandenberg, was 45 years his junior. They met in a restaurant in 1993 and married on November 6, 1998. "The age gap doesn't bother us. We laugh a lot. My body is functioning and everything is good. She's the sexiest woman I've ever known. We don't think about time. I don't use Viagra either. There are 50 ways to please your lover."

paragraph: In 1994, his son Nicholas died of a heroin overdose at the age of 23. After his son's death, Curtis remarked that it was "a terrible thing when a father loses his son."

paragraph: According to the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", Curtis, who had a problem with alcoholism and drug abuse, went through the treatment center of the Betty Ford Clinic in the mid-1980s, which was successful for him.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Philanthropy.

paragraph: Beginning in 1990, Curtis and his daughter Jamie Lee Curtis took a renewed interest in their family's Hungarian Jewish heritage, and helped finance the rebuilding of the "Great Synagogue" in Budapest, Hungary. The largest synagogue in Europe today, it was originally built in 1859 and suffered damage during World War II. In 1998, he also founded the Emanuel Foundation for Hungarian Culture, and served as honorary chairman. The organization works for the restoration and preservation of synagogues and the 1300 Jewish cemeteries in Hungary and is dedicated to the 600,000 Jewish victims of the Holocaust in Hungary and lands occupied by the Hungarian Army. Curtis also helped promote Hungary's national image in commercials.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Books and appearances.

paragraph: In 1965, Tony Curtis was animated in an episode of "The Flintstones"; he also voiced his character Stoney Curtis.

paragraph: In 1994, a mural featuring his likeness, painted by the artist George Sportelli, was unveiled on the Sunset Boulevard overpass of the Hollywood Freeway Highway 101 in Los Angeles. The mural was relocated to Hollywood Boulevard and Bronson Avenue in September 2011. His face is featured among the celebrities on the cover of the "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" album by The Beatles.

paragraph: Also in 1994, the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation awarded its Lone Sailor Award for his naval service and his subsequent acting career.

paragraph: In 2004, he was inducted into the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Hall of Fame. A street is named after him in the Sun City Anthem development of his adopted hometown, Henderson, Nevada.

paragraph: In 2008, he was featured in the documentary "The Jill & Tony Curtis Story" about his efforts with his wife to rescue horses from slaughterhouses.

paragraph: In October 2008, Curtis's autobiography "American Prince: A Memoir", was published. In it, he describes his encounters with other Hollywood legends of the time including Frank Sinatra and James Dean, as well as his hard-knock childhood and path to success. It was followed by the publication of his next book, "The Making of Some Like it Hot: My Memories of Marilyn Monroe and the Classic American Movie" (2009). Curtis shared his memories of the making of the movie, in particular about Marilyn Monroe, whose antics and attitude on the set made everyone miserable.

paragraph: On May 22, 2009, Curtis apologized to the BBC radio audience after he used three profanities in a six-minute interview with BBC presenter William Crawley. The presenter also apologized to the audience for Curtis's "Hollywood realism." Curtis explained that he thought the interview was being taped, when it was in fact live.

paragraph: Curtis was a lifelong Democrat and attended the 1960 Democratic National Convention alongside such liberal performers as Edward G. Robinson, Shelley Winters, Ralph Bellamy, and Lee Marvin.

paragraph: During the 1971 filming of "The Persuaders!", Curtis developed a reputation among his costars and crew as a frequent marijuana smoker. Curtis developed a heavy cocaine addiction in 1974 while filming "Lepke", at a time when his stardom had declined considerably and he was being offered few film roles. In 1984, Curtis was rushed to the hospital suffering from advanced cirrhosis as a result of his alcoholism and cocaine addiction. He then entered the Betty Ford Clinic and vowed to overcome his various illnesses. He underwent heart bypass surgery in 1994, after suffering a heart attack.

His widow Jill told the press that Curtis had suffered from various lung problems for years as a result of cigarette smoking, although he had quit smoking about 30 years earlier. In fact, during the 1960s Curtis served as the president of the American 'I Quit Smoking' Club. In a release to the Associated Press, his daughter, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, stated:

paragraph: My father leaves behind a legacy of great performances in movies and in his paintings and assemblages. He leaves behind children and their families who loved him and respected him and a wife and in-laws who were devoted to him. He also leaves behind fans all over the world. He will be greatly missed.

paragraph: His remains were interred at Palm Memorial Park Cemetery in Henderson, Nevada, on October 4, 2010. The service was attended by daughters, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis; Arnold Schwarzenegger; Rich Little; and Vera Goulet, Robert Goulet's widow.

paragraph: Henutmire

paragraph: Henutmire was an Ancient Egyptian princess and queen. She was one of the eight Great Royal Wives of Pharaoh Ramesses II of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: She is supposedly the third and youngest child of Seti I and Tuya, and the younger sister of Ramesses II and Tia. This theory is based on a statue of Queen Tuya, now in the Vatican. The statue shows Tuya with Henutmire, thus it is assumed that they were mother and daughter. However, she is nowhere mentioned as "King's Sister", a title which Princess Tia used, thus it is unclear whether she was a younger sister or a daughter of Ramesses.

paragraph: Her name means "The lady is like Rê". She married Ramesses II and became Great Royal Wife; if she was his daughter, she was the fourth to do so, after Bintanath, Meritamen and Nebettawy. She is shown on statues of Ramesses from Abukir and Heliopolis. On a colossus from Hermopolis she is depicted together with Princess-Queen Bintanath. Both have the titles The Hereditary Princess, richly favoured, Mistress of the South and the North, King's Daughter, Great Royal Wife.

paragraph: Section::::Death and Burial.

paragraph: She died around Ramesses' 40th regnal year, and was buried in the tomb QV75. Her tomb was robbed already in antiquity; the trough of her coffin was later used for the burial of priest-king Harsiese in Medinet Habu. It is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

paragraph: August Vermeylen

paragraph: August Vermeylen (12 May 1872 in Brussels – 10 January 1945 in Uccle) was a Belgian writer and literature critic. In 1893 he founded the literary journal "Van Nu en Straks" ("Of Today and Tomorrow"). He studied history at the Free University of Brussels (ULB), and became a professor of literature and of art history at the ULB (1901–1923). In addition to many works of literary and art criticism, he wrote poetry and in 1906 a novel, "De wandelende Jood" (English: The Wandering Jew). A cultural organization, the Vermeylenfonds, was named after him.

paragraph: Politically, Vermeylen supported both the unitarian Belgian state (to the point of condemning the Flemish Pro-German activists during World War I) and an equal status for the Dutch language in that state. From 1921 to his death he was a senator for the Belgian Labour Party. In 1930, he became the first rector of the newly Dutchified Flemish Universiteit Gent. In 1938, he became vice-president of the Senate. In 1940, he was removed from all his official functions by the German occupation force.

paragraph: August Vermeylen was the father of the Belgian socialist politician, Piet Vermeylen.
