Belinda Carlisle
Belinda Jo Carlisle (born August 17, 1958) is a Grammy Award-nominated American singer and best-selling author. Carlisle gained worldwide fame as the lead vocalist of The Go-Go's, who made history as the first all-female music group to write their own songs and play their own instruments to top the Billboard charts.

Great English actor of British and American films. Born in Yorkshire, attended Marlborough and Cambridge, where he discovered acting on a lark and abandoned a planned career as an architect. Following work in stock companies, he joined the Old Vic under the guidance of Sir 'Tyrone Guthrie' (qv) and of 'Alexander Korda (I)' (qv), who gave Mason at least one small film role in 1933, but fired him a few days into shooting. Mason remained in the theatre becoming a prominent stage actor, meanwhile getting first small, then rapidly larger roles in "quota quickies", minor films made to accommodate laws mandating a certain percentage of films shown in Britain to be British-made. Mason's talent for playing protagonists of a decidedly hard-bitten or melancholy stripe brought him from these minor films to a position as one of Britain's major film stars of the Forties. When, late in that decade, he came to America, he played somewhat more glamorous or heroic roles than he had been accustomed to in Britain, but he remained a dynamic and intelligent force on the screen. His tendency to take any job offered led him to have many unworthy credits on his resume but, throughout his career, he remained a respected and powerful figure in the industry. His mellifluous voice and an uncanny ability to suggest rampant emotion beneath a face of absolute calm made him a fascinating performer to watch. He died of a heart attack in 1984 at his home in Switzerland.

Performed by Judy Garland in A Star Is Born, 1954. This is a High Quality, Full Screen Close Up. A Star Is Born has a fascinating history ... "the central premise concerns a fading matinee idol, Norman Maine, whose career is rapidly declining due to a drinking problem, and his wife, a budding actress whose career is just beginning and will soon eclipse his in terms of success. ... in real life, the actors playing Norman Maine and Esther Blodgett/Vicki Lester, were having the reverse experience of their screen characters. Fredric March, in the role of the drunken has-been, was actually at the height of his profession while Janet Gaynor as the up-and-coming actress was really at the end of her career.(First version,1937) ...The same strange parallel also held true for the 1954 remake; James Mason was just beginning to establish himself as a leading man in Hollywood while Judy Garland was experiencing numerous health and emotional problems. ... A Star Is Born proved to be a compelling subject for most moviegoers because it was based on the lives of a few Hollywood celebrities ... the juiciest bits of the story were culled from real-life events. The Norman Maine character was loosely based on infamous stories surrounding John Barrymore and John Gilbert during their final years as self-destructive alcoholics. The climactic suicide at the end of A Star Is Born was also drawn from real-life; actor John Boles drowned himself in the ocean shortly after the death of his wife. The <b>...</b>

It is a UPA Production and was the first cartoon to be X-rated (adults only) in Great Britain under the British Board of Film Censors classification system. Really great - you have to see it.

I met a murderer (1939) JAMES MASON FULL MOVIE
"I met a murderer" starring James Mason and future wife Pamela Kellino was filmed in 1937 and directed by Roy Kellino, who at that time was still married to Pamela. The film is essentially the story of a man on the run, James Mason (a farmer) murders his nagging wife and then goes on the run, encountering a girl (Pamela Kellino) who brings him brief happiness. The film unusually for a British film of the period uses an absolute minimum of dialogue, and uses the camera and plenty of close-ups of the leading players to tell its story. This interesting film has never been shown on UK tv,or been released to dvd or video. The running time quoted for the full print is 79 minutes, but this version runs just over an hour is an American release print. This film is a must for fans of James Mason, and shows the actor perfecting his craft that would soon propel him to star status in both the UK and the US. This film was originally protected by the Copyright Acts of 1911 and 1956. Copyright in the UK expired in 1989 and it is presented here for research purposes only.

Heaven Can Wait: Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty) meets Mr. Jordan (James Mason) and his fate.
Heaven Can Wait, the charming 1978 remake of Here comes Mr. Jordan (1941), is a sweet tragicomedy that enabled Warren Beatty (lead actor, co-writer, co-director, producer) to fulfill his cinematic dream three years later when he took on all four roles again with his outstanding movie "Reds". As with most of his movies, Beatty managed to surround himself with a cast of the utmost quality, talent and charisma and in doing so, assured himself of a box-office hit. The story is about life and death and how love transcends death. In the 1941 movie, the lead character Joe Pendleton was a boxer and Beatty had originally planned to have his friend Muhammad Ali play that role. Ali's schedule did not allow it, so Beatty altered the script and turned the lead into an American football player, a sport he excelled at in his youth, taking on the role himself. The cast included co-director Buck Henry as the bumbling escort, James Mason as Mr. Jordan the way station executive, Dyan Cannon and Charles Grodin as the scheming wife and personal secretary, Julie Christie as the activist/love-interest and the always excellent Jack Warden as football coach Max Corkle. Vincent Gardenia completes the wonderful ensemble with a guest appearance as the police inspector. All actors are in fine form, especially veteran Jack Warden. Beatty is at his charming and disarming best. Deadpan seems invented by Grodin and Dyan Cannon has never been better. Warden, Mason and Cannon were nominated for Oscars for <b>...</b>

James Mason, I Want Your Love
Note: in order to post this track I needed to fade out the last 30+ seconds as it runs for just over 11 minutes. Shit but unavoidable. There are no further changes in the track beyond the improvised ending, it fades out in the same way. James Mason Played Keyboard For Roy Ayers In The Early 70's Before He Released His One And Only Album, "Rhythm Of Life" In 1977. This Track Was Supposed To Appear On His Second Album But Was Rejected Along With Plans For A Follow Up LP. It Wasn't Until 1996 That Mighty Fine Records In The UK Released A Two Track 12" Featuring Tracks, Nightgruv And I Want Your Love. Four Years later Soul Brother Released The Same Two Tracks Along With An Edit Of I Want Your Love, To Which I am Eternally Grateful ( I Have Never Come Across A Copy Of The Original Release ) .

"Although these recordings were never meant to be released, i hope you will enjoy them. If you have enjoyed my work in the past, i believe, perhaps, you will. These recordings were made for record industry decision makers to judge the worthiness of my efforts versus their risk in financing another album recorded by me.

Biography
Early life
Mason was born in Huddersfield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, to John and Mabel Mason; his father was a wealthy merchant. Mason had no formal training as an actor and initially embarked upon it for fun. He was educated at Marlborough College, and earned a first in architecture at Peterhouse, Cambridge where he became involved in stock theatre companies in his spare time. After Cambridge he joined the Old Vic theatre in London under the guidance of Tyrone Guthrie and Alexander Korda. In 1933 Korda gave Mason a small role in ''The Private Life of Don Juan'' but fired him three days into shooting.
Career
From 1935 to 1948 he starred in many British quota quickies. A conscientious objector during World War II (something which caused his family to break with him for many years), he became immensely popular for his brooding anti-heroes in the Gainsborough series of melodramas of the 1940s, including ''The Man in Grey'' (1943) and ''The Wicked Lady'' (1945). He also starred with Deborah Kerr and Robert Newton in ''Hatter's Castle'' (1942). He then took the lead role in the critically acclaimed and immensely popular ''The Seventh Veil'' (1945) that set box office records in postwar Britain and raised him to international stardom. He followed it with a role as a mortally wounded Irish revolutionary in ''Odd Man Out'' (1947) and his first Hollywood film, ''Caught'' (1949).Mason's distinctive voice enabled him to play a menacing villain as greatly as his good looks assisted him as a leading man. His roles include Brutus in ''Julius Caesar'' (1953), Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in ''The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel'' and ''The Desert Rats'', the amoral valet turned spy in Joseph Mankiewicz's ''5 Fingers'', the declining actor in the first remake of ''A Star Is Born'' (1954), Captain Nemo in ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' (also 1954), a small town school teacher driven insane by the effects of cortisone in ''Bigger Than Life'' (1956), a suave master spy in ''North by Northwest'' (1959), a determined explorer in ''Journey to the Center of the Earth'' (also 1959), Humbert Humbert in Stanley Kubrick's ''Lolita'' (1962), a hired assassin sent to kill Peter O'Toole's character in ''Lord Jim'' (1965), the evil Doctor Polidori in ''Frankenstein: The True Story'' (1973), the vampire's servant, Richard Straker, in ''Salem's Lot'', and surreal Royal Navy Captain Hughes in ''Yellowbeard'' (1983). One of his last roles, that of corrupt lawyer Ed Concannon in ''The Verdict'' (1982), earned him his third and final Oscar nomination.
Mason was once considered to play James Bond in a 1958 TV adaptation of ''From Russia with Love'', which was ultimately never produced. Despite being in his fifties, he was still under consideration to play Bond in ''Dr. No'' before Sean Connery was cast. He was also approached to appear as Bond villain Hugo Drax in ''Moonraker'', however, he turned this down despite his renowned tendency to take any job offered him – which led to appearances in films such as ''The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go'', ''Bloodline'' and ''Hunt the Man Down''. His final screen-work was playing the lead role in ''Dr. Fischer of Geneva'' (adapted from the Graham Greene novella, 1985) as the eccentric wealthy businessman who played games with the Swiss upper class, such as offering gifts to his guests on the proviso they accepted some humiliating ritual activity (such as wearing a child's bib at the dinner table). In 1975 he played Falconhurst plantation owner in the controversial film ''Mandingo''.
In the late 1970s, Mason became a mentor to up-and-coming actor Sam Neill.
Late in life, he served as narrator for a British television series on the films of Charlie Chaplin, ''Unknown Chaplin,'' which was aired in the U.S. on PBS and later issued on home video.
Private life
Mason was a devoted lover of animals, particularly cats. He and his wife, Pamela Mason, co-authored the book ''The Cats in Our Lives'', which was published in 1949. James Mason wrote most of the book and also illustrated it. In ''The Cats in Our Lives'', he recounted humorous and sometimes touching tales of the cats (as well as a few dogs) he had known and loved.Mason was married twice:
Mason's autobiography, ''Before I Forget'', was published in 1981.
Death
Mason survived a cardiac arrest in 1959 and died as a result of another on 27 July 1984 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was cremated and (after a delay of 16 years) his ashes were buried in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland. The remains of Mason's old friend Charlie Chaplin are in a tomb a few steps away.Mason's widow, Clarissa Kaye, also known as Kaye-Mason, died in 1994 from cancer.

Influence
The stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard often impersonates James Mason's voice saying it is the voice of God; it is a running gag in his shows.

Moira Shearer, Lady Kennedy (17 January 1926 – 31 January 2006), was an internationally famous Scottish ballet dancer and actress.
Early life
She was born Moira Shearer King in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, the daughter of actor Harold V. King. In 1931 her family moved to Ndola, Northern Rhodesia, where she received her first dancing training under a former pupil of Enrico Cecchetti. She returned to Britain in 1936 and trained with Flora Fairbairn in London for a few months before she was accepted as a pupil by the Russian teacher Nicholas Legat. After three years with Legat, she joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet School. However, after the outbreak of the World War II, her parents took her to live in Scotland. She made her debut with Mona Inglesby's International Ballet in 1941 before moving on to Sadler's Wells in 1942.
Film career
She came to international attention for her first film role as Victoria Page in the Powell & Pressburger ballet-themed film ''The Red Shoes'', (1948). Even her hair matched the titular footwear, and the role and film were so powerful that although she went on to star in other films and worked as a dancer for many decades, she is primarily known for playing "Vicky."Shearer retired from ballet in 1953, but she continued to act, appearing as Titania in ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' at the 1954 Edinburgh Festival. She worked again for Powell on the controversial film ''Peeping Tom'' (1960), which damaged Powell's own career.
In 1972, she was chosen by the BBC to present the Eurovision Song Contest when it was staged at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. According to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor's ''The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History'', Shearer accepted the role of hostess because her children wanted something to tease her with in the future. She also wrote for ''The Daily Telegraph'' newspaper and gave talks on ballet worldwide.
The choreographer Gillian Lynne persuaded her to return to ballet in 1987 to play L. S. Lowry's mother in ''A Simple Man'' for the BBC.
Personal life
In 1950, Moira Shearer married Ludovic Kennedy. They were married in the Chapel Royal in London's Hampton Court Palace. The couple had a son, Alastair, and three daughters, Ailsa, Rachel and Fiona. She died at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England at the age of 80.
