Austrian stage and film actor Paul Hörbiger (1894-1981) belonged together with Hans Moser to the ‘primary rock’ of the Austrian cinema. His popularity was unique and was reflected in over 250 films, mostly lightweight comedies of the popular 'Wiener Film' genre.
Was sad to hear of the recent passing of the actor Bernard Cribbins. So this is my small tribute to a fine actor who was the voice of "The Wombles" the annoying guest Mr Hutchinson in a Fawlty Towers episode and many other acting roles that a lot of us may remember from our childhood. But perhaps best remembered for playing Albert Perks the station porter in the 1970 all time great family film "The Railway Children" May he rest in peace.

British actor Tony Wright (1925-1986) was a popular leading man during the 1950s and nicknamed 'Britain's Mr. Beefcake'. He was a Rank Organisation contract player for some years and played the role of London-based private detective Slim Callaghan in three French films.
Paul Anthony 'Tony' Wright was born in London, in 1925. He was the son of French-born British actor and screenwriter Hugh E. Wright. Tony got his start working in South African repertory theatre. In 1952, he made his screen debut in a BBC TV play, This Happy Breed (1952), based on a play by Noël Coward. In the cinema, he played a sexy, dangerous type in The Flanagan Boy (Reginald Le Borg, 1953) lured by Hollywood 'Bad Blonde' Barbara Payton to do her dirty work. The film made the hunky blond actor a beefcake pin-up of the 1950s. In France, he had success in the title role of the crime film À toi de jouer... Callaghan!!!/Amazing Mr. Callaghan (Willy Rozier, 1955), based on a novel by Peter Cheney. It was soon followed by Plus de whisky pour Callaghan!/No more whisky for Callaghan! (Willy Rozier, 1955) with Magali Vendeuil.
Tony Wright was contracted by the Rank Organisation and appeared in the Franke Howerd comedy Jumping for Joy (
John Paddy Carstairs, 1956) and a series of mediocre crime films. He married actress Janet Munro in 1957, though the couple was divorced in 1959. He returned as Callaghan in the French film Callaghan remet ça/Callaghan does it again (Willy Rozier, 1961) opposite Geneviève Kervine. In 1962, he married Shirley Clark, the daughter of writer Lesley Storm. During the 1960s he worked mostly for television and guest-starred in such popular series as The Avengers (1968) and The Saint. (1962-1968). Later he only played small roles in such B films as Clinic Exclusive (Doon Chaffey, 1971) and The Creeping Flesh (Freddie Francis, 1973) starring Christopher Lee.

actor y testigo de nuestra independencia y formacion como Nacion.
En el daguerrotipo sobre plancha de cobre que se conserva en el Museo Histórico Nacional Argentino, San Martín "aparece sentado, de medio cuerpo sesgado hacia la izquierda, mirando en la misma dirección, con el cabello blanco y el bigote cano. Tiene la mano derecha sobre el brazo del sillón y la izquierda dentro de la abotonadura del levitón", según la ficha técnica. Pero por el efecto espejo del daguerrotipo, en realidad la mano que el prócer tiene dentro del levitón es la derecha y la izquierda es la que reposa sobre el sillón. Por ello me he permitido girar el daguerrotipo, de modo de apreciar realmente la postura de San Martin en 1848 a pedido de su hija
"José de San Martín fue primero a Inglaterra, visitó Escocia, Irlanda y una parte de Europa, y se estableció luego en Bruselas, donde se ocupó exclusivamente de la educación de su única hija Mercedes.
Después de la revolución de Julio se decidió a venir a vivir en los alrededores de París. Compró en Evry-sur-seine una casa de campo; en ese oasis pasó todo el período de 1830-1848. Los excesos de las jornadas de Febrero le hicieron abandonar aquel sitio."
Pensando retirarse a Inglaterra, vino a Boloña; nuestra ciudad le gustó y se quedó en ella, pero vivió en un retiro absoluto, y después de dieciseis meses murió a consecuencia de sufrimientos soportados con ese estoicismo notable.
Su cuerpo, embalsamado, debió ser transportado a América, y en espera de ello se colocó, con autorización del intendente en una de las capillas de la cripta N D; allí quedó once años hasta que fue trasladado a Bruney (Seine-et-Oise), no lejos del castillo de Mariano Balcarce, y en el cual, el cuerpo de San Martín fue religiosamente arreglado, tal como lo tenía en Boloña.
Yo he vuelto a ver en 1878 a su yerno, como comisario general de la República Argentina en la exposición de París. Me dijo que la estatua de San Martín había sido inaugurada en Buenos Aires el 13 de julio de 1862, y que se acababa poco antes de la exposición, de festejar en América con solemnidad extraordinaria, el centenario de su nacimiento. Nosotros hemos poseído por algún tiempo en Boloña el antiguo pabellón del célebre Pizarro.
El género era de seda amarilla, teniendo en el centro un gran escudo de fondo azul, bordado en carmesí, y cuya forma recuerda el contorno de las armas españolas en las monedas, hechas en columnas, dejando ver en la parte inferior el sello de la ciudad de Lima.
Estaba encerrado en un cofre de palisandro, cuya tapa llevaba la siguiente inscripción: "Estandarte real del conquistador Pizarro remitido al excelentísimo Sr. Don José de San Martín, fundador de la libertad del Perú, por la municipalidad de Lima el 3 de abril de 1822." Aparte, un asta de madera varizada y fierro-lanza dorado.
Después de cubierto el sarcófago del general, el Señor Balcarce, en virtud de una disposición testamentaria de su finado suegro, remitió dicho estandarte a Lima, por intermedio del Dr. Pedro Galvez.
J. Lefebre Denibré.
Prefecto.

Vintage postcard Photo: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, 1995. Mel Gibson and Catherine McCormack in Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995).
American-Australian actor Mel Gibson (1956) became known worldwide thanks to the small-budgeted action film Mad Max (1979). He went on to star in such acclaimed films as Gallipoli (1981) and The Bounty (1984). In 1987, he became a superstar with the buddy cop action-comedy film series Lethal Weapon (1987-1998). As director of Braveheart (1995), he won both the Academy Award for best director and best film. Gibson also produced and directed The Passion of the Christ (2004) about the last phase of Jesus Christ's life on earth.
Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born in 1956 in Peekskill, New York, USA. He was the sixth of eleven children of Hutton Gibson, a railroad brakeman, and Anne Patricia (Reilly) Gibson. His mother was Irish, from County Longford, while his American-born father is of mostly Irish descent. His father moved the family from upstate New York to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1968 after winning as a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! The family settled in New South Wales, where Mel's paternal grandmother, contralto opera singer Eva Mylott, was born. After high school, Mel studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, performing at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts alongside future film thespians Judy Davis and Geoffrey Rush. Here, he starred opposite Judy Davis in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet'. After college, Mel had a few stints on stage and starred in TV shows. Eventually, he was chosen to star in the films Mad Max (George Miller, 1979) and Tim (Michael Pate, 1979), co-starring Piper Laurie. The small-budgeted Mad Max made him known worldwide, while Tim garnered him an award for Best Actor from the Australian Film Institute, the Australian equivalent to the Oscar. Gibson got a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. He was a part of the movement dubbed the 'Australian New Wave' by the press. They were a group of filmmakers and performers who emerged from Down Under at about the same time and found work in other parts of the world. Other members included actress Judy Davis and directors George Miller, Gillian Armstrong and Peter Weir.
Mel Gibson went on to star in the World War I drama Gallipoli (Peter Weir, 1981), which earned him a second award for Best Actor from the AFI. In 1980, he married Robyn Moore and had seven children. In 1984, Mel made his American debut in The Bounty (Roger Donaldson, 1984), which co-starred Anthony Hopkins. Then in 1987, Mel starred in what would become his signature series, Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987), in which he played Martin Riggs. In 1990, he took on the starring role in Hamlet (Franco Zeffirelli, 1990) with Glenn Close, which garnered him some critical praise. He also made the more endearing Forever Young (Steve Miner. 1992) with Jamie Lee Curtis and the somewhat disturbing The Man Without a Face (Mel Gibson, 1993). 1995 brought his most famous role as Sir William Wallace in Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995), for which he won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. From there, he made such box office hits as Ransom (Ron Howard, 1996), Payback (Brian Helgeland, 1999) and The Patriot (Roland Emmerich, 2000). His later films include Signs (M. Night Shyamalan, 2002), and Edge of Darkness (Martin Campbell, 2010). For The Passion of the Christ (2004), which he directed, wrote and produced, he spent 25 million dollars of his own money. Back in 1992, he started doing research for the film that was not released until 2004. That year, he was the highest-paid celebrity with a reported $210,000,000 salary from his The Passion of the Christ (2004) profits, plus a potential $150,000,000 that is yet to be accounted for. The way Gibson portrayed the suffering of Christ caused however much controversy. He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. He separated from his wife Robyn in June 2006. At the end of July 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California. During his arrest, he made derogatory comments about Jews and women. On 1 August 2006, he checked himself into a recovery program for alcohol abuse. He did three-year probation following the misdemeanour drunken driving arrest. Robyn finally filed for divorce in April 2009 but it wasn't finalised until December 2011, reportedly because it took them all that time to divide Gibson's estimated assets of $850 million. It is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. In 2009, he made a first public appearance together with his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva who was then three months pregnant with his daughter Lucia. The couple split in 2010. In 2014, he started a relationship with Rosalind Ross with whom he had his ninth child.

Enzo Biliotti, born Lorenzo Biliotti (Livorno, June 28, 1887 - Bologna, November 19, 1976), was an Italian actor.
Son of Francesco Biliotti and soprano Ines De Frate, Biliotti began his theatrical career as a brilliant actor in the Carini-Gentili Company (1918-1921) to later join that of Gemma Bolognesi. He was also part of that of Virgilio Talli (1922-1924), then of the Piccola Canobbiana of Milan in the 1924-1925 season and then of that of the Teatro d'Arte in Rome in 1925-1926, to be one of Alda Borelli's companions in the 1926. Dina Galli wanted him with her for the entire 1927-1928 season, then he moved to the Dora Migliari-Menichell companyi in 1928-1929 and in a revue company directed by Paolo Reni (1929-1930). Guido Salvini hired him for a large-scale production, entrusting him with the character of Fouché in Campo di Maggio (1930) by Giovacchino Forzano, a character he resumed when Forzano himself made the film version of it in 1935. In 1931 he was part of the large cast of Za Bum n. 3 and in 1938 he was with Tumiati-Bagni-Scelzo, where he distinguished himself in a beautiful edition of Manzoni's Adelchi. Also in 1938 he played Federico in As you like it by William Shakespeare, directed by Jacques Copeau, with Massimo Pianforini, Sandro Ruffini, Guido Gatti, Fernando Farese, Nerio Bernardi, Umberto Melnati, Giuseppe Pierozzi, Franco Scandurra, Checco Rissone, Nella Bonora , Letizia Bonini and Zoe Incrocci at the Boboli Gardens in Florence. Finally in 1946 he was with the company of Lilia Silvi.
In the cinema he was always employed in character or secondary roles. After his debut in 1916 in Cura da baci by Emilio Graziani-Walter, he acted in three more silent films, all directed by Mario Bonnard. He impersonated e.g. Fra Cristoforo in Bonnard's 1922 adaptation of I promessi sposi. Bonnard would later on also directed him in La gerla di papà Martin (1940), while Biliotti would act again in another adaptation of I promessi sposi (Mario Camerini, 1941), now as Antonio Ferrer. His first sound film was Villafranca (Giovacchino Forzano, 1933), where he superbly interpreted Napoleon III, which he wittily re-proposed in La contessa Castiglione (1942) by Flavio Calzavara. Biliotti specialized in masterfully designing kings, emperors, nobles and fathers of high lineage. Among his tastiest characterizations is that of the Viceroy in Un'avventura di Salvator Rosa/ An Adventure by Salvator Rosa (1939) by Alessandro Blasetti (1939) and King Philip IV in Don Cesare di Bazan (1942) by Riccardo Freda, in addition to the aforementioned French emperor. Married to Lia Di Lorenzo, at the end of the fifties he retired to the Casa di Riposo Lyda Borelli for retired actors in Bologna.
