Donald McNichol Sutherland, OC (born 17 July 1935) is a Canadian actor with a film career spanning nearly 50 years. Some of Sutherland's more notable movie roles included offbeat warriors in such war movies as ''The Dirty Dozen,'' in 1967, and ''MASH'' and ''Kelly's Heroes'' in 1970, as well as in such popular films as ''Klute'', ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'', ''JFK'' and ''Ordinary People''. Sutherland is now filming ''The Hunger Games''. He is the father of actor Kiefer Sutherland.

Early life

Sutherland was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, the son of Dorothy Isobel (née McNichol; 1892–1956) and Frederick McLea Sutherland (1894–1983), who worked in sales and ran the local gas, electricity, and bus company. He spent most of his childhood in Hampton, New Brunswick, along the Kennebecasis River. His teenage years were spent in Nova Scotia. He got his first part time job at age 14 as a news correspondent for local radio station CKBW in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. He then studied at Victoria College, University of Toronto, where he met his first wife Lois Hardwick (not the child star of the same name), and graduated with a double major in engineering and drama. He had at one point been a member of the "UC Follies" comedy troupe in Toronto. He changed his mind about becoming an engineer, and subsequently left Canada for England to study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Early work

In the early to mid-1960s, Sutherland began to get small parts in British films and TV, landing notable roles in horror films with Christopher Lee, such as ''Castle of the Living Dead'' (1964) and ''Dr. Terror's House of Horrors'' (1965) and twice appearing in ''The Saint'', firstly in the 1965 episode "The Happy Suicide" and then, more auspiciously, in a story called "Escape Route" at the end of 1966. The episode was directed by the show's star, Roger Moore, who later recalled that Sutherland "asked me if he could show it to some producers as he was up for an important part... they came to view a rough cut at the studio and he got ''The Dirty Dozen''. Thus, Sutherland was on course for the first of the three war films which would be his initial great successes: ''The Dirty Dozen'' in 1967, with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson; in 1970, as the lead "Hawkeye" Pierce in Robert Altman's ''MASH''; and, again in 1970, as tank commander ''Sgt. Oddball'' in ''Kelly's Heroes'', with Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas. During his time in England Sutherland also appeared in ''The Avengers'' in 1967, in an episode titled "The Superlative Seven."

Mid-career: 1972–2000

During the filming of the Academy award-winning detective thriller ''Klute'', Sutherland had an intimate relationship with co-star Jane Fonda. Sutherland and Fonda went on to co-produce and star together in the anti-Vietnam war film ''F.T.A.'' (1972), consisting of a series of sketches performed outside army bases in the Pacific Rim and interviews with American troops who were then on active service. A follow up to their teaming up in Klute, Sutherland and Fonda performed together in "Steelyard Blues" (1972), a "freewheeling, Age-of-Aquarius, romp-and-roll caper" from the writer David S. Ward. Also starring in this film was the late Peter Boyle (more recently known for his work in ''Everybody Loves Raymond'').

Sutherland found himself in demand as a leading man throughout the 1970s in films such as the Venice-based psychological horror film ''Don't Look Now'' (1973), the war film ''The Eagle Has Landed'' (1976), ''Federico Fellini's Casanova'' (1976) and the thriller ''Eye of the Needle'' (which was filmed on location on the Isle of Mull, West Scotland) and as the ever-optimistic health inspector in the science fiction/horror film ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' (1978) alongside Brooke Adams and Jeff Goldblum.

He helped launch the internationally popular Canadian television series ''Witness to Yesterday'', with a performance as the Montreal doctor Norman Bethune, a physician and humanitarian, largely talking of Bethune's experiences in revolutionary China. Sutherland refused a script for this role, saying he knew Bethune's life so well they could ask him anything—and the interviewer ended up with enough material for two programs instead of the planned one.

Sutherland also had a small role as pot-smoking Professor Dave Jennings in ''National Lampoon's Animal House'' in 1978, making himself known to younger fans as a result of the movie's popularity. When cast, he was offered either US$40,000 up front or a percentage of the movie. Thinking the movie would certainly not be a big success, he chose the 40K upfront payment. The movie eventually grossed $141,600,000 (US).

He won acclaim for his performance in the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's 1976 epic film 1900 and as the conflicted father in the Academy award-winning family drama ''Ordinary People'' (1980) alongside Mary Tyler Moore and Timothy Hutton. In 1981 he narrated ''A War Story'', an Anne Wheeler film. He played the part of physician-hero Norman Bethune in two separate biographical films in 1977 and 1990.

A prolific actor, some of Sutherland's better-known roles in the 1980s and 1990s were in the South African apartheid drama ''A Dry White Season'' (1989), alongside Marlon Brando and Susan Sarandon; as an incarcerated pyromaniac in the firefighter thriller ''Backdraft'' (1991), alongside Kurt Russell and Robert De Niro; and as the snobbish NYC art dealer in ''Six Degrees of Separation'' (1993), with Stockard Channing and Will Smith. In the 1991 Oliver Stone film ''JFK'', Sutherland played a mysterious Washington intelligence officer, reputed to have been L. Fletcher Prouty, who spoke of links to the military–industrial complex in the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. He played psychiatrist and visionary Wilhelm Reich in the video for Kate Bush's 1985 single, "Cloudbusting".

In 1992, he played the part of Merrick in the movie ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', with Kristy Swanson. He played a software company's scheming CEO in Barry Levinson's 1994 drama ''Disclosure'' opposite Michael Douglas and in 1995 was cast as the antagonistic Maj. Gen. Donald McClintock in Wolfgang Petersen's thriller ''Outbreak'', also featuring Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, and Rene Russo.

Sutherland was later cast in 1997 (for only the second time) with his son Kiefer in Joel Schumacher's award-winning crime thriller ''A Time to Kill'', based on the bestselling book of the same name, written by John Grisham. He played an aging yet ready-for-liftoff astronaut in 2000's ''Space Cowboys'', co-starring with director Clint Eastwood.

Recent work

In more recent years, Sutherland was noted for his role as Reverend Monroe in the Civil War drama ''Cold Mountain'' (2003), in the remake of ''The Italian Job'' (2003), in the TV series ''Commander in Chief'' (2005–2006), in the movie ''Fierce People'' (2005) with Diane Lane and Anton Yelchin, and as Mr. Bennet in ''Pride and Prejudice'' (2005), starring alongside Keira Knightley. He earned an Emmy nomination in 2006 for his performance in the miniseries ''Human Trafficking''.

Sutherland starred as Tripp Darling in the prime time serial ''Dirty Sexy Money'' for ABC. Sutherland's distinctive voice has also been used in many radio and television commercials, including those for Volvo automobiles. He is the spokesman for Simply Orange orange juice and recently he played multi-millionaire Nigel Honeycut in the Warner Bros. film ''Fool's Gold''. He provided voice-overs and narration during the intro of 1st semifinal of Eurovision Song Contest 2009, and the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and was also one of the Olympic flag bearers. He was also narrator of CTV's "I Believe" television ads in the lead up to the Games. During the games, Sutherland attended some of the events. In 2010 he starred alongside an ensemble cast in a TV adaptation of Ken Follett's novel ''The Pillars of the Earth''.

On 31 May 2011, Sutherland was announced to portray President Snow in the movie adaptation of ''The Hunger Games''.

Personal life

Sutherland was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on 18 December 1978 and was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2000. He maintains a home in Georgeville, in Quebec's Eastern Townships. Sutherland was a major fan of the Montreal Expos.

Son Kiefer Sutherland, a successful actor best-known for his role as Jack Bauer on the TV action/thriller series ''24'', and his twin sister, Rachel, were born to Donald Sutherland and his second wife, Shirley Douglas, daughter of politician Tommy Douglas.

Donald Sutherland met his current wife, French-Canadian actress Francine Racette, on the set of the Canadian pioneer drama ''Alien Thunder''. They have three sons, including actor Rossif Sutherland, Angus Sutherland, and Roeg Sutherland.

Sutherland became a blogger for the American news website ''The Huffington Post'' during the 2008 election campaign.

Kathy Kirby (born Kathleen O'Rourke; 20 October 1938 â€“ 19 May 2011) was an English singer who was reportedly the highest-paid female singer of her generation. She is best known for her cover version of Doris Day's "Secret Love" and for representing the United Kingdom in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest, where she came in second place. Her physical appearance often drew comparisons with Marilyn Monroe. She peaked in popularity in the 1960s.

Early life

Kirby was born in Ilford, Essex. She was the eldest of three children of Irish parents. Her mother Eileen brought them up alone after their father left early in their childhood. Kirby grew up in Tomswood Hill, Barkingside, near Ilford and attended the Ursuline Convent School in Ilford where she sang in the choir.

Career

Kirby's voice became apparent early in life, and she took singing lessons with a view to becoming an opera singer She became a professional singer after meeting bandleader Bert Ambrose at the Ilford Palais in 1956. She remained with Ambrose's band for three years and he remained her manager, mentor and lover until his death on stage in Leeds in 1971.

She adopted the look of a "blonde bombshell", and was compared to Marilyn Monroe. She had five Top 40 hits between 1963 and 1965, the best known of which is her cover version of "Secret Love". In 1963 she won Top British Female Singer in the ''New Musical Express'' poll.

Kirby became one of the biggest stars of the early to mid 1960s, appearing in the Royal Command Variety Performance and three television series for BBC TV. She represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965, and came second with the song "I Belong". Author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor describes Kirby's "I Belong" as being far more representative of current musical tastes than other songs from the contest, but she was beaten by France Gall from Luxembourg, singing an even more contemporary song written by Serge Gainsbourg. She also sang the theme tune of the BBC television series ''Adam Adamant Lives!''.

After the chart success of "I Belong", Kirby recorded more than a dozen more singles between 1965 and 1967, but they all failed to chart. She continued to make television appearances, and her 1974 appearance on ''The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club'' TV variety show is available to watch on YouTube.

During the 1970s Kirby's singing career was eclipsed by a turbulent personal life, but she made occasional television appearances and performed a few live concerts on the "nostalgia circuit". On 31 December 1976, she performed her hit song "Secret Love" on BBC1's ''A Jubilee Of Music'', celebrating British pop music for Queen Elizabeth II's impending Silver Jubilee.

In December 1983 she gave one last concert in Blackpool, then retired from show business altogether.

Post-retirement

She did not perform in public after her retirement, but an amateur recording of Kirby singing the song "He", made about 2005, is available online.

Interest in Kirby and her work continued long after she stopped performing particularly among gay men, for whom she was something of an icon. In her last decade, she recorded short greetings for her official website, A biography was published in 2005, and there was a 2008 stage show about her life, called ''Secret Love''.

The ''Daily Express'' reported in 2008 that plans for a new filmed interview had been abandoned, but later reports confirmed that the interview had been filmed, and it was subsequently included on a DVD compilation released the following year. She also gave an interview to the ''Express'' in 2009, billed as her first in 26 years, although a previous one had been published in 2006 , which included recent photographs.

Following the 2009 interview, the ''Sunday Express'' reported that some previously unreleased recordings would be made available on CD in 2010, and that Kirby had been approached to appear on ''Desert Island Discs''., although neither the programme nor the CD has appeared.

Personal life

Kirby met Ambrose in her teens and, despite the 42-year age gap and his having an estranged wife at the time, began a relationship with him which lasted until his death in 1971. In the 2009 interview, she said she had had an affair with Bruce Forsyth during this time.

Kirby was married briefly to writer and former London policeman Frederick Pye in the 1970s. Following her bankruptcy in 1975, and a court case following an arrest over an unpaid hotel bill, she was referred to St Luke's psychiatric hospital in London in 1979. Following her discharge, she had a live-in lesbian relationship with a fan, Laraine McKay, and said that they intended to marry. McKay was imprisoned for fraud and forgery. In the early 1980s, Kirby had relationships with musician David Cross and lawyer Alan Porter.

Kirby was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was in poor physical and mental health for much of her life. Following her retirement, she lived in a series of apartments and hotels in West London, settling in an apartment in Emperor's Gate, South Kensington, surviving on state benefits and some royalties, many of which went missing and maintaining what has been called a "Garbo-esque" seclusion. Very shortly before her death, Kirby moved to Brinsworth House in Twickenham.

One of Kirby's nieces, Sarah, is married to Mark Thatcher and another, Claudia, became Lady Rothermere after marrying Viscount Rothermere.

Death

Kirby moved to Brinsworth House, a retirement home for entertainers, in May 2011, and died there a few days later on 19 May 2011. According to a message from a relative posted on a fan website, Kirby suffered a heart attack, but this has not been officially confirmed.

She is survived by her sister, Pat, and her brother, Douglas.
