Henry Graham Greene OM CH (2 October 1904 – 3 April 1991) was an English novelist and author regarded by some as one of the great writers of the 20th century. Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels, and of thrillers (or "entertainments" as he termed them). He was shortlisted, in 1967, for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Through 67 years of writings, which included over 25 novels, he explored the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world, often through a Catholic perspective.
Although Greene objected strongly to being described as a Roman Catholic novelist, rather than as a novelist who happened to be Catholic, Catholic religious themes are at the root of much of his writing, especially the four major Catholic novels: Brighton Rock, The Power and the Glory, The Heart of the Matter, and The End of the Affair; which are regarded as "the gold standard" of the Catholic novel. Several works, such as The Confidential Agent, The Third Man, The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, and The Human Factor, also show Greene's avid interest in the workings and intrigues of international politics and espionage.
Graham Greene, CM (born June 22, 1952) is a Canadian First Nations actor who has worked on stage, in film, and in TV productions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Dances with Wolves (1990).
Greene is an Oneida born in Ohsweken, on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, the son of Lillian and John Greene, who was a paramedic and maintenance man. He lived in Hamilton, Ontario, as a young adult.
His first brushes with the entertainment industry came when he worked as an audio technician for rock bands based in Newfoundland and Labrador, when he went by the alias "Mabes". He graduated from the Toronto-based Centre for Indigenous Theatre's Native Theatre School program in 1974. Soon after, he began performing in professional theatre in Toronto and England.
His TV debut was in an episode of The Great Detective in 1979, and his screen debut was in 1983 in Running Brave. He appeared in such films as Revolution and Powwow Highway, as well as the First Nations' CBC TV series Spirit Bay. It was his Academy Award–nominated role as Kicking Bird (Lakota: Ziŋtká Nagwáka) in the 1990 film Dances with Wolves that brought him fame.
Graham Rose may refer to:
Rose Graham (25 September 1879–3 February 1974) was a New Zealand homemaker and hotel-keeper. She was born in Gillespies Beach, West Coast, New Zealand on 25 September 1879.
Rose Graham (August 16, 1875 – July 29, 1963) was a British religious historian.
Graham was born in London in 1875. She went to Notting Hill high school and then on to Somerville College. She worked as a researcher and published books on church history beginning with her first on St Gilbert of Sempringham who had founded a double monastery. Graham was encouraged by her mother and with her she travelled in France to research her second book. She wasn't able to gain a degree until 1920 from Oxford. She gained her doctorate in 1929 again at Oxford.
In 1945 she became president of the British Archaeological Society which she held until 1951 when she served on as vice president until 1963.
She died in 1963. Her early work on ecclesiastical history is seen as a great foundation for later scholarship on women's history.
"Like a Rose" is a song by British-Norwegian boy band A1, released as the fourth single from their debut album, Here We Come. The single was released in February 2000, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
The single was the final official single from the album; however, a follow-up promo single, "If Only", was released exclusively on 12" vinyl.
Like a Rose is the second studio album from country music artist Ashley Monroe. The album was released on March 5, 2013, via Warner Bros. Nashville. The title track served as the album's first single and was released to radio a day before the album. "You Got Me" and "Weed Instead of Roses" were also released as singles.
Ashley Monroe co-wrote all nine of the album's tracks.Little Big Town provides harmony vocals on "You Got Me" (which was co-written by band member Karen Fairchild) and "You Ain't Dolly (And You Ain't Porter)" is a duet with Blake Shelton.
The album's title track, which Monroe wrote with Guy Clark and Jon Randall, came about when Monroe used the phrase "But look at me, I came out like a rose" after telling Clark her life story. The song ultimately "[set] an autobiographical tone" for the record. It was released to radio on March 4, 2013 as the album's first single, and a music video directed by Traci Goudie premiered on CMT one day earlier. "You Got Me" was released as the second single from the album on May 20, 2013, and "Weed Instead of Roses" was released as the third single in September 2013. "Weed Instead of Roses" became Monroe's first chart single from the album when it debuted at No. 46 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of October 19, 2013, and reached a peak of No. 39.
A play by Graham Greene Directed by Stephen O'Toole February 13 - March 15, 2015 Photographs by Matt Berdahl Photography Music in the video by The Rose Ensemble ABOUT THE PLAY Faith and reason collide as renowned 20th century author Graham Greene takes his pen to the stage in this taut, stirring psychological drama that ran during the 1956-7 Broadway season to great acclaim. The story centers around an unwanted middle-aged son who returns to his father's deathbed. His mother will not permit him to see his father in his last moments and he is estranged from every member of his family. Why? The key apparently is a mysterious event that took place in the potting shed when he was 14 years old. Greene offers a thought-provoking look at the possibility of miracles in a rationalist world in th...

Sam Riley and Andrea Riseborough step into the worn shoes of Pinkie and Rose, and the pair talked us through a seaside shoot that - surprisingly - also played out with its own cast of real-life mods and rockers. Director Joffe, meanwhile, explained the pressures of re-adaptating a Graham Greene classic - cinema's equivalent of a don't-look-down experience. http://www.empireonline.com/interviews/interview.asp?IID=1181 Official YouTube home of the world's biggest (and best) movie magazine and website.

Based on Graham Greene's chilling 1938 novel, BRIGHTON ROCK is the hard-boiled, visually captivating debut film of Rowan Joffe. An official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival, the film features an incredible cast of both British acting royalty and brilliant newcomers. Sam Riley (CONTROL) is the young anti-hero Pinkie, a cunning charmer trying to make his mark on the vicious gangland of Brighton. When a young waitress (Andrea Riseborough, who was nominated for 2 BIFAs for her breakthrough performance) stumbles on evidence that links Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing, he draws her into a conned romance to keep the loose end tied up. When Rose's world-weary boss (Oscar-winner Helen Mirren) becomes suspicious of the enigmatic young man hanging around her charge, the ta...
Adapted from Graham Greene's iconic 1939 novel, Brighton Rock charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organized crime. At the heart of the story is the anti-hero Pinkie's relationship with Rose--an apparently innocent young waitress who stumbles on evidence linking Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing that Pinkie commits. After the murder, Pinkie seduces Rose, first in an effort to find out how much she knows and last to ensure she will not talk to the police. A love story between a murderer and a witness; can Pinkie trust Rose or should he kill her before she talks to the police? Can Rose trust Pinkie or is she next in line?

You're having tea with Graham Greene
In a colored costume of your choice
And you'll be held in high esteem
If you're seen in between
Stiffly holding umbrellas
Catching the fellows making the toast
To the civil servant Carruthers
Making the others worser than most
You're making small talk now with the Queen
And the elegant ladies in waiting
You're very nervous they can all tell
Pretty well they can tell
So save yourselves for the hounds of hell
They can have you all to themselves
Since the fashion now is to give away
All the things you love so well
Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury
You can have another chance
It must all seem like second nature
Chopping down the people where they stand
According to the latest score
Mr. Enoch Powell is falling star
So in future please bear in mind
Don't see clear don't see far
When the average social director
Mistook a passenger for the conductor
So shocking see the old Church of E
Looking down on you and me
