Burt Lancaster in the 1947 film "Desert Fury". My restoration and colorization of a Hal Wallis Productions publicity photo.
Daniel Mangin has described how Lancaster´s incredibly movie career got started:
"For an actor whose screen debut, the 1946 film noir classic "The Killers," made him an instant star, Burt Lancaster's first few seconds on celluloid are remarkably subdued. He lies motionless in bed, his face in shadow. The brightest light in the shot shines on his T-shirted chest as he learns that two hit men are on their way to rub him out. He's nearly invisible as he passively accepts his fate, his face in shadow until just before he's murdered."
"As Kate Buford points out in her absorbing new biography of the actor, Lancaster, who was born in 1913 and died in 1994, had the makings of a star: broad shoulders, a chiseled face, brilliant blue eyes, defiantly wayward hair and an iconic smile -- much mimicked by impersonators during his heyday -- that he called "The Grin." Though he was a big man, he moved with grace on-screen, thanks to years of touring as a circus acrobat.
David O. Selznick, the legendary producer of "Gone With the Wind," had the chance to put him under contract in the mid-1940s but declined. Following the paradigm of Hollywood's golden age, Selznick looked for personality types he could showcase in a series of similar roles, and he'd already signed one ravishing hunk, Guy Madison (a star remembered these days only by fey folk of a certain vintage). Who needed another?"
"Selznick's rejection was actually a stroke of luck -- one of many -- for Lancaster. He hooked up with Harold Hecht, an agent who accurately gauged the social and economic forces transforming the motion-picture business after World War II. Within a few years, not only had Hecht helped engineer Lancaster's superstardom (Lew Wasserman, the head of MCA, also played a key role), Hecht and Lancaster had become the producers of "Marty," "Trapeze" (Lancaster's homage to his circus days) and other hits. In the 1950s and early 1960s their company was the most successful independent outfit distributing through United Artists."

This was from a skit about coastal California's history enacted at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. The boat was in a large, mostly enclosed tide pool that is surrounded by a terrace.
Toronto actor, Mickey Cloutier, red skirt and all. This is one of my all-time favourite images that I've ever captured. I love the white space, I love the red and most of all I love the look of pure abandon on Mick's face. It makes me smile just looking at it.
I used one of this series for an ad campaign coming out soon cross-canada.

Vintage postcard by World Postcards, no. X114. Photo: Julian Sands and Helena Bonham Carter in A Room with a View (James Ivory, 1985).
Last month, British actor Julian Sands has finally been found dead after going missing for months. In January 2023, Sands went hiking in a mountainous area in the San Bernardino region of California. The 65-year-old actor was an avid hiker and loved going out into the wilderness on his own. What exactly happened is as yet unclear. There were several large-scale searches for Sands in the area. Those searches were always hampered by heavy snowfall. Earlier this month, the search resumed again. On Saturday 24 June 2023, human remains were found and three days later, US Police confirmed that these belonged to Sands. Julian Sands was best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film A Room With A View. Sands has appeared in more than 120 films and series since the early 1980s, including the films Leaving Las Vegas, Warlock, Arachnophobia and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He was also seen in one of the seasons of the popular TV series 24 and in the series Smallville.
Julian Richard Morley Sands was born in Otley, England, in 1958. Sands came from a family of five children. His parents were Brenda and William Sands. He studied at Lord Wandsworth College in Hampshire. He then took acting courses at the Forum Theatre Company and the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. It was at the latter school that he met a journalist named Sarah Harvey, his first wife. Sands began his film career playing various small roles, such as in the comedy Privates on Parade (Michael Blakemore, 1983) starring John Cleese. His early theatre days were spent with the Forum Theatre Company. In 1984, he starred in the films Oxford Blues (Robert Boris, 1984) starring Rob Lowe and the acclaimed war drama The Killing Fields (Roland Joffé, 1984). In 1985, he played the lead role in the film A Room with a View (James Ivory, 1985pposite Helena Bonham Carter. With that funny and romantic role, he broke through to the general public. Audiences noticed him again in the horror tale Gothic (Ken Russell, 1986) and were fascinated with his good looks and unusual but sometimes chilling appearance. He moved to the United States to pursue his acting career in Hollywood. There, he starred in several big and small films, including the fantasy film Warlock (Steve Miner, 1989). The film was a success and he returned for the sequel, Warlock: The Armageddon (Anthony Hickox, 1993). He also played roles in films like the horror-comedy Arachnophobia (Frank Marshall, 1990) with Jeff Daniels, Boxing Helena (Jennifer Lynch, 1993) and Leaving Las Vegas (Mike Figgis, 1995) starring Nicolas Cage. He also played the title role in Dario Argento's Il fantasma dell'opera/Phantom of the Opera (1998).
Julian Sands appeared in several European films, including Vatel (Roland Joffé, 2000) starring Gérard Depardieu, Romasanta (Paco Plaza, 2004) and Ring of the Nibelungs (Uli Edel, 2004). Apart from films, Julian Sands also played in several US television series. He appeared in the ninth season of Stargate SG-1 (2005) as one of Ori's agents. In 2006, he featured in the fifth season of the action series 24 (2006) as the terrorist Vladimir Bierko. He also appeared as Jor-El in two episodes of Smallville (2009-2010). In the cinema, you could only see glimpses of him in A-list films like Ocean's Thirteen (Steven Soderbergh, 2007) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (David Fincher, 2011) starring Daniel Craig. More recently, he could be seen in the Jerzy Kosinski adaptation of The Painted Bird (Václav Marhoul, 2019) and in Benediction (Terence Davies, 2021). Sands was married twice: to journalist Sarah Harvey (until 1987) and to writer Evgenia Citkowitz (since 1990). A son, Henry (1985) was born from his first marriage. He had two daughters, Natalya Morley Sands (1996), and Imogen Morley Sands (1999) from his second marriage. Sands was an art and antiques collector. On 13 January 2023, Sands was reported missing after a hike on Mount San Antonio near Los Angeles, California. More than five months later, a body was found in the area and identified as that of Julian Sands.

"You think slavery is right and ought to be extended; while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub."
[Letter to Alexander Stephens by Abraham Lincoln, Dec 22, 1860]
"Now we are told in advance the Government shall be broken up unless we surrender to those we [Republicans] have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they [Southern secessionist states] are either attempting to play upon us or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us and of the [U.S.] Government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union."
[President-elect Lincoln in January, 1861 about the vast majority of states being taken hostage by a minority of southern states.]
