Barry Norton (June 16, 1905 – August 24, 1956) was an Argentine-born actor in American films. He appeared in over ninety films from 1925 until the time of his death. He is perhaps best known for his role as Juan Harker in the Spanish-language version of Dracula (1931), produced by Universal Pictures.
Arriving in Hollywood in the 1920s, Norton first appeared as an extra in The Black Pirate (1926) but was soon cast in Fox Films' The Lily that same year. His big break came when he was given the role of Pvt. 'Mother's Boy' Lewisohn in What Price Glory?, which turned out to be a huge commercial success. He landed substantial roles in Legion of the Condemned and 4 Devils (both 1928), which were also very successful.
His acting was well received by audiences and critics at the time, and during the silent era he avoided being typecast as a latin lover. Said one theater owner in Golden City, Montana: "...Barry Norton has as yet to show me a bad performance. There's a boy that is a 'natural.'"
Philip Seymour Hoffman (July 23, 1967 – February 2, 2014) was an American actor, director, and producer of film and theater. Best known for his distinctive supporting and character roles – typically lowlifes, bullies, and misfits – Hoffman was a regular presence in films from the early 1990s until his death at age 46.
Drawn to theater as a teenager, Hoffman studied acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He began his screen career in a 1991 episode of Law & Order and started to appear in films in 1992. He gained recognition for his supporting work throughout the decade, notably in Boogie Nights (1997), Happiness (1998), The Big Lebowski (1998), Magnolia (1999), and The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). He began to occasionally play leading roles, and for his portrayal of the author Truman Capote in Capote (2005), won multiple accolades including the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hoffman's profile continued to grow, and he received three more Oscar nominations for his supporting work as a brutally frank CIA officer in Charlie Wilson's War (2007), a priest accused of pedophilia in Doubt (2008), and the charismatic leader of a Scientology-type movement in The Master (2012).
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
I can tell by the dimple in your chin
You're in beautiful shape for the shape you're in
An' I'm in shape for Bernardine
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
When you wander into my dreams at night
Your remarkable form is a pure delight
I go, go, go for Bernardine
Bernardine, woh Bernardine
You're a little bit like every girl I've ever seen
Oh, your separate parts are not unknown
But the way you assemble them's all your own
All yours and mine, dear Bernardine
(Yours and mine, dear Bernardine)
Oh, Bernardine
Oh, woh, woh, Bernardine
Say you'll wait for me out by the rocket base
And we'll both blast off into outer space
At oh, oh, woh woh, Bernardine
Bernardine, woh Bernardine
Come away with me now in the rocket propelled machine
We'll come home by the way of a drive-in spa
Just a little this side of Shangri-La
And there I'll stay with Bernardine
(There I'll stay with Bernardine)
