# Mira Rostova

Mira Rostova (née Rosovskaya; April 10, 1909 – January 28, 2009) was a Russian American actress turned acting teacher, best known for her own variation of method acting that she used in coaching Montgomery Clift. Her other students included Armand Assante, Alec Baldwin, Peter Gallagher, Jessica Lange, Zohra Lampert, Jerry Orbach, A.J. Benza and Madonna (who attended approximately half a dozen class sessions, working on scenes from Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke and Isherwood's I Am a Camera).

## Early life

Mira Rosovskaya was born on April 10, 1909, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She fled to Switzerland after the Russian Revolution and then Hamburg, Germany, where she began acting. She also acted in Vienna. She moved to France after the rise of the Nazi party and reached the United States by way of England. In the U.S., she abbreviated her surname to Rostova.

## Career

Rostova was accepted on a scholarship by Robert Lewis. She was cast as a fake witch doctor in Mexican Mural, an experimental play directed by Lewis, when she first met Clift who was also in the play. Gradually, Rostova played an increasing role in his acting career, discussing for hours the roles he should accept and the way he should act in them. Patricia Bosworth, Clift's biographer, described how Rostova had been hired on the payroll as Clift's coach while he was starring in films including A Place in the Sun and The Heiress.
Rostova was a fixture in his dressing room by 1945, when Clift had a lead role in You Touched Me!, a play by Tennessee Williams and Donald Windham. Clift became frustrated living at home with his mother and Rostova moved him into her apartment, while she moved out and found another place to live. During the filming of Alfred Hitchcock's 1953 film I Confess, Rostova stood behind a pillar and Clift looked over for her approval. During the filming of the 1949 drama The Heiress, his co-star Olivia de Havilland said that Clift would look in the opposite direction.
While other notable acting teachers such as Uta Hagen and Lee Strasberg also acted themselves, Rostova made few appearances of her own on stage or film, though she did perform the role of Nina in her own translation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, which she staged Off Broadway with Clift in 1954. Brooks Atkinson, reviewing in The New York Times, called it an "interesting performance" of "an incomparably beautiful play", saying that "Rostova as Nina is handicapped by a heavy accent. She is further handicapped by a florid style alien to the whole spirit of Chekhov", though he called Clift's performance as Constantin "beautifully expressed without any foolish pathology".
Elia Kazan banished her from the set of the 1960 film Wild River after a single day of filming. In Richard Schickel's 2005 biography of Kazan, he describes how she positioned herself behind the director during filming and nodded or shook her head as Clift was acting, but Kazan was unwilling to have her as a co-director.

## Death

Rostova died at age 99 on January 28, 2009, in a Manhattan nursing home.
# Maria-Pia Geppert

Maria-Pia Geppert (May 28, 1907 – November 18, 1997) was a German mathematician and biostatistician who co-founded the Biometrical Journal.
Geppert was the first woman to become a full professor at the University of Tübingen. With Emmy Noether, Hilda Geiringer, Ruth Moufang, and Hel Braun, Geppert was one of only a handful of women to work in mathematics in Germany before World War II and later convert their degrees into research careers as full professors.

## Early life and education

Geppert was born in Breslau, with Italian descent through her mother. Breslau is now Wrocław, in Poland, but at that time it was part of the German Empire. Her older brother, Harald Geppert [de] also became a mathematician, and a supporter of the Nazis.
She studied mathematics in Breslau and in Giessen, and in 1932 completed a doctorate at the University of Breslau. Her dissertation, Approximative Darstellungen analytischer Funktionen, die durch Dirichletsche Reihen gegeben sind, concerned analytic number theory and was supervised by Guido Hoheisel. Edmund Landau, in his last publication before Hitler came to power, commented unfavorably on one of her papers.
Next, Geppert moved to Rome, where from 1933 to 1936 she studied actuarial science and statistics for a second doctorate under the supervision of Guido Castelnuovo. She completed a habilitation in 1942 at the University of Giessen. Her dissertation was Comparison of Two Observed Frequencies. Seneta & Phipps (2001) write that her habilitation dissertation was "important but forgotten" because of the circumstances of the war, and they adopt her title for their own.

## Career

In 1940, Geppert became director of the Department of Epidemiology and Statistics for the William G. Kerckhoff Heart Research Institute in Bad Nauheim, later to become the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research. She joined Goethe University Frankfurt in 1943, as a lecturer in biostatistics.
In 1964 she became chair for medical biometry at the University of Tübingen. In doing so, she became the first female full professor at the University of Tübingen. She retired in 1975.

## Biometrical Journal

With Ottokar Heinisch, Geppert founded the Biometrical Journal in 1959. She was co-editor-in-chief with Heinisch from its founding until 1966, and remained co-editor-in-chief with Erna Weber [de] until 1969.

## Recognition

In 1951, Geppert became the first German elected into the International Statistical Institute in the post-war period. She also became an honorary member of the International Biometric Society in 1965, the first person from the German region of the society to be so honored.

# Sylvain Auguste de Marseul

Sylvain Auguste de Marseul (January 21, 1812 in Fougerolles-du-Plessis in Normandy – April 16, 1890 in Paris) was a French Roman Catholic priest and entomologist. He taught in the Petit séminaire de Paris from 1833 to 1836. In 1842, founded a college at Laval, then from 1850 to 1853, he taught in Paris. In 1854, he left his college for America where he remained eight months and discovered entomology. The abbot of Marseul was the author of many publications. He founded in 1864 a review devoted to the Coleoptera and named L'Abeille, the Bee. On his death this publication was continued by Ernest Marie Louis Bedel (1849-1922) then by René Gabriel Jeannel (1879-1965). The abbot also studied the history of the beginnings of French entomology in a series of review article in the Bee under the generic title Entomologistes et de leurs écrits, Entomologists and their writings (1882 to 1887). His collection is conserved in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and his library in the Société entomologique de France.

## Foreign Relations of Colombia

Colombia seeks diplomatic and commercial relations with all countries, regardless of their ideologies or political or economic systems. For this reason, the Colombian economy is very open, relying on international trade and following the guidelines given by the international law.
Regional relations remain good despite occasional issues with neighbors, especially regarding spillover from Colombia's armed conflict, including cross-border guerrilla crossings, the flow of refugees, and the spread of drug crops. These issues are of particular concern to the bordering countries of Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. For example, Ecuador has closed its main border crossing with Colombia every night since August 2002, when evidence emerged that Colombian guerrillas and paramilitaries were asserting control over Ecuador's border communities. On May 1, 2004, Ecuador placed further stringent visa restrictions on Colombians seeking to enter Ecuador. Relations with Nicaragua and Venezuela have been strained over territorial disputes. Bilateral committees are negotiating the dispute with Venezuela over waters in the Gulf of Venezuela. Other issues with Venezuela include the presence of illegal undocumented Colombians in Venezuela, and activities of Colombian narcotics traffickers, and Venezuela's support for the Guerrillas in Colombia.
