George Best (22 May 1946 – 25 November 2005) was a Northern Irish football player best known for his years with Manchester United. He was a winger whose game combined pace, acceleration, balance, two-footedness, goalscoring and the ability to beat defenders.[1] In 1968, his annus mirabilis, he won the European Cup with Manchester United, and was named the European Footballer of the Year. When fit, he was an automatic choice for the Northern Ireland team, but he was unable to lead them to the FIFA World Cup tournament.

George Murphy (1902-1992) was an American actor and politician. Murphy was a song-and-dance leading man in many big-budget Hollywood musicals from 1930 to 1952. During World War II, he organised entertainment for American troops. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1944 to 1946 and received an honorary Oscar in 1951. Murphy served as a U.S. Senator from California from 1965 to 1971, the first notable American actor to be elected to statewide office in California, predating Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
George Lloyd Murphy was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1902. He was the son of Catholic Irish immigrants. His father was the American track and field trainer and coach Michael Charles 'Mike' Murphy, and the former Nora Long. George graduated from Yale University and worked to support himself. He first worked as a toolmaker for Ford, later in the mines and as a real estate agent, and finally as a dancer in various discotheques. In the mid-1920s, Murphy moved to New York City. There he met his first wife, Juliette Henkel, whom he married in 1926. They had two children, a son, Dennis, and a daughter, Melissa. He made his Broadway debut as a member of the chorus in 'Good News' (1927) and performed in three other Broadway shows - 'Hold Everything!', 'Of Thee I Sing', and 'Roberta'. After retiring from the stage, Murphy moved with his family to Hollywood, where talking pictures had replaced silent films. He made his Hollywood debut in Kid Millions (Roy Del Ruth, Willy Pogany, 1934), starring Eddie Cantor. Murphy appeared with Shirley Temple in Little Miss Broadway (Irving Cummings, 1938) and with Judy Garland in Little Nellie Kelly (Norman Taurog, 1940). He became known as a song-and-dance man and appeared in many big-budget musicals, such as Broadway Melody of 1938 (Roy Del Ruth, 1937), Broadway Melody of 1940 (Norman Taurog, 1940), in which he danced with Fred Astaire, and For Me and My Gal (Busby Berkeley, 1942) with Judy Garland. After switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in 1939, he became a close political ally of Ronald Reagan, with whom he appeared in This Is the Army (Michael Curtiz, 1943).
During World War II, George Murphy primarily appeared in Propaganda films aimed at boosting the morale of US troops. Among these films were The Navy Comes Through (A. Edward Sutherland, 1942), and Bataan (Tay Garnett, 1943) with Robert Taylor. From 1944 to 1946, Murphy served as president of the Screen Actors Guild. His final film was the Film Noir Walk East on Beacon (Alfred L. Werker, 1952). By then, Murphy had been cast in approximately 50 feature films. Although his work was mostly limited to relatively unknown films, he received an honorary Oscar in 1951 for his contributions to the film industry. From 1958 to 1961, he served as vice president of the film production company Desilu. In the late 1950s, Murphy became increasingly involved in politics. He served three times - in 1952, 1956, and 1960 - as head of entertainment for the televised inaugurations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. In the early 1960s, Murphy became chairman of the Republican Party of California and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1964. He served a six-year term in the Senate before leaving office in January 1971. His autobiography, 'Say. . . Didn’t You Used to Be George Murphy?' was published in 1970. Murphy was thus the first actor to pursue a political career and was considered a role model by Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. During his time in office, Murphy was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, which necessitated surgery to remove his larynx. As a result of the surgery, he had difficulty speaking for the rest of his life. George Murphy retired from public life, which he shared with his second wife, Bette Blandi, whom he married in 1982. They left California and moved to Palm Beach, where he died of leukaemia in 1992, two months before his 90th birthday.

I was astonished to come across this statue of George C. Marshall on Oslo's waterfront. I know I would not be able to pick him out in a police lineup, yet here is the great statesman and soldier and architect of Europe's post-WWII reconstruction many thousands of miles from his native Pennsylvania.
When Merkel and other European leaders angst over the death of the trans-Atlantic alliance, they're thinking of the example set by George C. Marshall and other great Americans like him.
I painted Tara to go with George, the pilot, and then there was a delay, but here they are together at last!!

George Montgomery (1916-2000) was an American actor who starred in over eighty films throughout his sixty-year career. He starred in many low-budget Westerns and War films.
George Montgomery Letz was born in Brady, Montana, in 1916. George was the youngest of 15 children of German immigrants from Ukraine and was raised on a Montana homestead. He was a boxing champion at the University of Montana, where he majored in architecture and interior design. Dropping out a year later, he decided to take up boxing more seriously. He moved to California, where ex-heavyweight world champion James J. Jeffries coached him. While in Hollywood, he came to the attention of the studios. Montgomery was an expert rider and was hired as a stuntman in 1935. After doing this for four years, George was offered a contract at 20th Century Fox in 1939, but found himself largely confined to leads in B-Westerns. He did not secure a part in anything even remotely like a prestige picture until his co-starring role in Roxie Hart (William A. Wellman, 1942), opposite Ginger Rogers. Next, in Orchestra Wives (Archie Mayo, 1942), he played the love interest for Ann Rutherford, but the biggest stars were Glenn Miller and His Orchestra. George attracted as much publicity for his acting as for his liaisons with glamorous stars, like Ginger Rogers, Hedy Lamarr (to whom he was briefly engaged) and singer Dinah Shore, whom he married in 1943. He left Hollywood in 1943 to enlist in the US Army Air Corps. After his discharge in 1946, he went back to Hollywood and resumed his career.
In 1947, George Montgomery got his first serious break when he was cast as Raymond Chandler's private eye Philip Marlowe in The Brasher Doubloon (John Brahm, 1947). I.S. Mowis at IMDb: "Reviewers, however, compared his performance unfavorably with that of Humphrey Bogart and found the film 'pallid' overall. So it was back in the saddle for George. Unable to shake his image as a cowboy actor, he starred in scores of films with titles like Belle Starr's Daughter (1948), Dakota Lil (1950), Jack McCall, Desperado (1953), and Masterson of Kansas (1954) at Columbia, and for producer Edward Small at United Artists. When not cleaning up the Wild West with his six-shooter, he branched out into adventure films set in exotic locales." For two years, he starred in the TV series Cimarron City (1958-1959). He was also notable as Harry Quartermain in Watusi (Kurt Neumann, 1959). During the 1960s, he appeared in the War film Battle of the Bulge (Ken Annakin, 1965) starring Henry Fonda. He also wrote, directed and starred in several long-forgotten, low-budget War films made in the Philippines. After he retired from the film business, he devoted himself to his love of painting, furniture-making, and sculpting bronze busts, including one of his close friends, Ronald Reagan. George Montgomery died in Rancho Mirage, California, in 2000. He had two children with Dinah Shore, daughter Melissa Montgomery and adopted son John 'Jody' David Montgomery.

The George Washington Bridge – known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George – is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River between the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. As of 2016, the George Washington Bridge carried over 103 million vehicles per year,[8] making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge.[9][10] It is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a bi-state government agency that operates several bridges, tunnels and airports, as well as marine seaports, and the PATH rapid transit system.
The bridge, an integral conduit within the New York metropolitan area, has an upper level that carries four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (72 km/h), though congestion frequently slows traffic on both weekdays and weekends. The bridge's upper level also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 1/9 (US 1/9) cross the river via the bridge. US 46, which lies entirely within New Jersey, terminates halfway across the bridge at the state border with New York. At its eastern terminus in New York City, the bridge connects with the Trans-Manhattan Expressway (part of I-95, connecting to the Cross Bronx Expressway).
The bridge sits near the sites of Fort Washington (in New York) and Fort Lee (in New Jersey), which were fortified positions used by General George Washington and his American forces as they attempted to deter the occupation of New York City in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War. Unsuccessful, Washington evacuated Manhattan by crossing between the two forts.
Construction on the bridge began in October 1927 as a project of the Port of New York Authority. The bridge's chief engineer was Othmar Ammann, with Cass Gilbert as architect. Geologists made 300-foot (91 m) test bores on the New Jersey side to determine if the geological strata would support the bridge. When construction started, the estimated cost of the bridge was $75,000,000. It was expected to carry 8 million vehicles and 1.5 million pedestrians in its first year of operation.
The bridge was dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day.[16][17] The George Washington Bridge, with a span of 4,760 feet (1,450 m) in total – including a main span of 3,500 feet (1,100 m) – was the longest main bridge span in the world at the time, at nearly double the 1,850 feet (560 m) of the previous record holder, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. It held this title until the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937.
