American dancer, singer and actor George Chakiris (1934) had his biggest success as Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks gang in the celebrated film musical West Side Story (1961). Later he starred with Catherine Deneuve in another classic, the charming French musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967).
George Chakiris was born in Norwood, Ohio, in 1934. His parents were Steven and Zoe (née Anastasiadou) Chakiris, immigrants from Greece. Chakiris studied at the American School of Dance. He made his film debut at the age of 12 singing in the chorus of of the biopic Song of Love (Clarence Brown, 1947), biography of Robert and Clara Schumann (Katherine Hepburn). Following his graduation from high school, he supported his night-time dancing, singing and dramatic lessons with a daytime job clerking in a Los Angeles department store. For several years he appeared in small, unbilled roles, usually as a dancer or a member of the chorus in various musical films. He was one of the tuxedoed dancers in Marilyn Monroe's Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks, 1953), and appeared as a dancer alongside Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas (Michael Curtiz, 1954) in the Love, You Didn't Do Right by Me number. He can also be seen in the funeral dance in the MGM musical Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, 1954). In 1957, he made his debut as a dramatic actor in a small part in the war drama Under Fire (James B. Clarke, 1957). The following year, he traveled to New York hoping for a Broadway ‘break.’ Hearing that Jerome Robbins was casting the London company of West Side Story, he auditioned and was awarded the co-starring role of Riff, leader of the Anglo gang, the Jets. He played the part for almost two years on the West End stage. Chakiris also co-starred in the film version, West Side Story (Robert Wise, 1961). He now played Bernardo, leader of a rival Puerto Rican gang of immigrants, the Sharks. For this magnetic role and his silky yet explosive dance style, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe. The romantic musical drama became the second highest grossing film of the year in the United States. West Side Story was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won 10, including Best Picture.
During the rest of the 1960s, George Chakiris was in much demand. He starred as a doctor in the film Diamond Head (Guy Green, 1963) opposite Charlton Heston and Yvette Mimieux, and appeared alongside Yul Brynner in Kings of the Sun (J. Lee Thompson, 1963) and Flight from Ashiya (Michael Anderson, 1964). His fee around this time was a reported $100,000 per film. In Italy he starred opposite Claudia Cardinale in the crime film La ragazza di Bube/Bebo’s Girl (Luigi Comencini,1963). Later he acted in France along with Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac in the musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort/The Young Ladies of Rochefort (Jacques Demy, 1967). Craig Butler at AllMovie: “When originally released, Jacques Demy's The Young Girls of Rochefort suffered in comparison with his earlier The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, but its reputation has grown in the intervening years. Although not without flaws, Rochefort is a tremendously appealing and utterly engaging musical trifle. Breezy and light, Rochefort is also gorgeous and a delight to the eye; Demy's sense and use of color is practically overwhelming, and is as important to the success of the film as any other element.” In France, he also appeared in the spy comedy Le Rouble à deux faces/The Day the Hot Line Got Hot (Etienne Périer, 1968) starring Robert Taylor and Charles Boyer. In addition to film, Chakiris performed on stage in London and around the U.S. and on television. In the early 1960s, he embarked on a career as a pop singer, resulting in a couple of minor hit songs. In 1960, he recorded one single with noted producer Joe Meek.
George Chakiris starred in the first national tour of the Stephen Sondheim musical, Company, touring as Bobby in 1971-72. He worked more in television in the 1970s and 1980s. His television credits include a leading role in an adaptation of Kismet (1967) with Anna Maria Alberghetti and Jose Ferrer, and a co-starring stint with Rosemary Harris and Jeremy Irons in the British historical miniseries Notorious Woman (Waris Hussein, 1975), a dramatization of the life of George Sand. He also played character turns as heels or middle-aged Lotharios on such series as Medical Center (1970-1975), Hawaii Five-O (1972), Wonder Woman (1978), Dallas (1986), Murder, She Wrote (1989), and the daytime soap opera Santa Barbara (1988). He appeared in the final episode of The Partridge Family (1974) as an old flame/suitor to Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones, also a musical theater veteran). Their kiss goodbye was the final scene in the program's run. Chakiris had a recurring role on the TV show Superboy as Professor Peterson during the first two seasons from 1988-1990. His final film role was as a vampire in Pale Blood (V.V. Dachin Hsu, 1990). Chakiris's last screen role was in a 1996 episode of the sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. He has given occasional television interviews since then, but is mostly retired. His hobby of making sterling silver jewelry has turned into a new occupation, working as a jewelry designer for his own brand, George Chakiris Collections, consisting of handmade original sterling silver jewelry.

All quiet and closed when we passed by but the George and Dragon at Burpham is (inevitably) a gastropub with an AA Rosette. It was originally built in 1736.
Entrance to the St. George Theater.
Opened in 1929, the St. George Theater in Staten Island is a blend of Spanish and Italian Baroque architecture & decoration styles. Newly restored, it's an awesome breathtaking theatre-of-old that you gotta see. Visit!
St George's Royal Garrison Church on Woolwich Common. The roof was lost in a WW2 flying bomb. It was left open to the weather for many years before a temporary roof was put on to protect the mosaics etc. Little seems to have been done since then despite a HLF grant, although the gates are now boarded up and a fence erected around the site. the temporary roof has also gone.
The arbour. Snow by Georges le Brun, 1913.
Although heavily influenced by Symbolism, Le Brun remained open to all forms of avant-garde expression, and followed the changes and developments of the Neo-Impressionists. His interest in this can be detected in the subtle interplay of light.

Interestingness | | 2010 | | Bostonist . com Meetup II
This was taken at the Bostonist.com meetup where we took photos in Boston's North End. Having never been there, I was very happy I went as there are some great Italian pastry restaurants.
Check out some of my wifes (padiddles) photos:
This photo was processed entirely in Lightroom.
Strolled down to the Georges river this arvo to try a Pano. This is a 4 shot. I did what seemingly you're not supposed to do...I took the shots in Landscape format. Cropping obviously lost a bit of the final photo. Hopefully, some of you can offer advice....would it now be possible to print this in landscape (enlarged)? Might sound like a dumb question, but I'm very new to the Pano shots...any advice guys would be appreciated. Mike
George Calinescu (June 19, 1899, Bucharest - March 12, 1965, Otopeni) was a Romanian literary critic, historian, novelist, Academician and journalist, and a writer of classicist and humanist tendencies. He is currently considered one of the most important Romanian literary critics of all time, alongside Titu Maiorescu and Eugen Lovinescu, and one of the outstanding figures of Romanian letters in the 20th century.
The Copper Horse on Snow Hill in Windsor Great Park.
George III was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the union of these two countries on 1 January 1801, after which he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death in 1820.
In the later half of his life, George suffered from mental illness. In 1810, a regency was established, and his eldest son ruled as Prince Regent. On George's death, the Prince Regent succeeded his father as George IV.
According to Pevsner, the statue dates from 1824-30. It was by Richard Westmacott, who was paid £18,712. It is 25ft high, including the base.
"The Long Walk, with its avenue of elms, runs southwards from the George IV gateway of the castle through the park in a straight line for 3 miles. At the end of the Long Walk is the bronze equestrian statue of George III in Roman dress, by Westmacott, which stands on a granite pedestal 26 ft. high at the top of an elevation known as Snow Hill."
This painting was in the background of a magazine picture. I find this picture very amusing and would love to have it in my house!
When George's Grandmamma was told
That George had been as good as gold,
She promised in the afternoon
To buy him an Immense BALLOON.
And so she did; but when it came,
It got into the candle flame,
And being of a dangerous sort
Exploded with a loud report!
The lights went out! The windows broke!
The room was filled with reeking smoke.
And in the darkness shrieks and yells
Were mingled with electric bells,
And falling masonry and groans,
And crunching, as of broken bones,
And dreadful shrieks, when, worst of all,
The house itself began to fall!
It tottered, shuddering to and fro,
Then crashed into the street below-
Which happened to be Savile Row.
When help arrived, among the dead
Were Cousin Mary, Little Fred,
The Footmen (both of them), the Groom,
The man that cleaned the Billiard-Room,
The Chaplain, and the Still-Room Maid.
And I am dreadfully afraid
That Monsieur Champignon, the Chef,
Will now be permanently deaf-
And both his aides are much the same;
While George, who was in part to blame,
Received, you will regret to hear,
A nasty lump behind the ear.
The moral is that little boys
Should not be given dangerous toys.
