Passage 2:
Paul de Longpré
Paul de Longpré (1855–1911), was a French painter of flowers, who worked mainly in the United States 

Early life
Paul de Longpré was born in Lyon, France, in 1855, and was an entirely self-taught artist  From age 12, he practiced successfully in Paris as a painter of fans  In 1876, at 21, he first exhibited at the Paris Salon  Having lost his money by the failure of a Paris bank, he moved in 1890 to New York City and in 1896 held an exhibition of flower paintings which secured him instant recognition 

Life in Hollywood
De Longpré arrived in Los Angeles, Southern California with his family in 1899  Daeida Wilcox, with husband H  H  Wilcox the founders of Hollywood, was so eager to attract culture to the town that she gave him her homesite for his estate, three lots on Cahuenga on the north of Prospect (later Hollywood Boulevard), in exchange for three of his paintings In 1901, Canadian architect Louis Bourgeois designed a landmark residence for the 3 acres (1 2 ha) estate, in the Mission Revival style  The house included an art gallery to sell prints of de Longpré's paintings, and was surrounded by the expansive "Le Roi de Fleur" flower gardens  Estate tours became a popular tourist destination off an exclusive Balloon Route trolley spur of the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad, that later became a Pacific Electric Redcar line, and with print sales additional sources of income for de Longpré Paul de Longpré is listed in the 1900 US Census, Los Angeles City Ward 5, Precincts 38 B and 73 A, with his wife Josephine and daughters Blance, Alice, and Pauline  His occupation is listed as Artist, but the last name is misspelled as De Lonpre, It indicates Paul, Josephine, Blance, and Alice were born in France, and Pauline was born in New York City  The architect Louis Bourgeois also taught French to de Longpré's daughters, and later married his daughter Alice Paul de Longpré died at home in Los Angeles at age 56, on 29 June 1911 Afterwards, the family moved back to France  The increased property values in rapidly developing Hollywood resulted in demolition of the gardens by 1924, and the house in 1927 

Works
De Longpré only painted specimens of flowers  With a delicacy of touch and feeling for color he united scientific knowledge and art  He also knew how to give expression to the subtle essence of the flowers  Painting floral scenes almost exclusively in watercolors, in the 1900s de Longpre found inspiration in the 4,000 rose bushes he planted on his Hollywood estate  The finest of his paintings include Double Peach Blossoms and White Fringed Poppies (1902) – both widely known through popular reproductions 

Legacy
In present-day Hollywood, the street De Longpre Avenue, and De Longpre Park on it are both named for him

Passage 4:
Paul de Cordon
Paul de Cordon (born in 1908 in Toulouse - died in 1998 in Paris) was a French photographer known for his photographs of the circus and the Crazy Horse Saloon  He was also recognized for his portraits and his nudes for which he was, in 1964, considered one of the greatest photographers in the world together with Guy Bourdin and Lucien Clergue  He produced portraits of many personalities such as Johnny Hallyday, Gilbert Bécaud, Mireille Darc, Jacques Brel, Fernand Raynaud, Anna Karina, Samy Davis Jr , Jeanne Moreau, Steve McQueen and his long-time friends, Daniel Sorano and Jacques Dufilho as well as Gonzague Saint Bris with whom he was very close  and who nicknamed him “The Toulouse-Lautrec of photography’’  In 1961 he participated alongside Edouard Boubat, Agnès Varda, Man Ray, Frank Horvat, William Klein and Robert Doisneau in the mythical exhibition "Metamorphosis and invention of a face" around the portrait of Anne- Marie Edvina  He was also an equestrian, fashion and advertising photographer, notably for Nikon and Beaulieu  He collaborated with Europe 1 in the years 1960/70  Paul de Cordon even tried his hand at television by co-presenting the Cirques du Monde program with Jean Richard on channel A2  His works are present in prestigious collections such as those of the National Library of France (BNF), the Rodin museum and W M  Hunt 

Early years
Paul de Cordon was born in Toulouse  His father, Comte Pierre de Cordon, was a cavalry officer; his mother, Marthe de Boyer-Montegut, a cultivated, book-loving woman, was the daughter of Paul de Boyer- Montégut, who, for many years, was mayor of Cugnaux, near Toulouse, where he owned the château de Maurens 
It was in Maurens that Paul de Cordon, as a child, spent his holidays and it was there that he discovered horses which were to become one of the great passions of his life  His grandfather Boyer-Montegut was what was the French call, a “Homme de cheval’’ whose four-in-hand teams were renowned in Toulouse and across the region  As a child, he also lived for several years in Mainz (Germany), where his father was stationed after the First World War  It was around this time that he started taking pictures with a small camera, a gift from his parents  He learned the basic techniques from an old German photographer during long hours spent in his shop 
It was also in Germany where his attraction to the circus was born  The large travelling circuses, like Althoff, then crisscrossed the country with quality shows and numerous animals 
As a teenager, he was a boarder in a Paris school  He was then able to discover a very intense artistic and cultural life thanks to his aunt, the Marquise du Crozet, his mother's elder sister  He attended performances by Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes which, after the war, came on tour every year to Paris  He went to the theater and visited exhibitions with his first cousin, Aimar du Crozet, who was much older than him and took him "under his wing" to serve as his guide to the Paris of the 1920s  Aimar du Crozet also had a passion for horses and races  He was the owner of Master Bob, who won the 1924 Paris Grand Steeple Chase * and who became so famous an athlete that he is mentioned by Ernest Hemingway at the start of his book ‘’Death in the Afternoon’’ 
After his studies Paul de Cordon enlisted in the 18th Dragons cavalry regiment  More than a true military vocation, it was once again the love of horses that motivated him 
At that time almost all the cavalry regiments were mounted and each maintained and trained horses to enter in show jumping events and steeple chases, in which both officers and noncommissioned officers participated  In the 1930s, he thus took part in dozens of races on tracks in France and across Europe 
After the 18th Dragons he was assigned to the 2nd Hussards, in Tarbes, the “Chamborant’’, where he continued his favorite activities; training and riding horses  By an amusing coincidence, his great-grandmother on his mother’s side was Louise de Séganville, daughter of Colonel Baron de Séganville who had been the regiment’s commanding officer between 1813 and 1815 
It was at the 2nd Hussards that he had two encounters that would mean a lot in his life  He befriended Jacques Dufilho who, after interrupting his studies in dental prosthesis, had signed an eighteen-month enlistment contract  * Dufilho will become one of his dearest friends when they meet again after the war  There he also meets Jean Devaivre who completed his military service at “Chamborant’’  Jean Devaivre then went to work in cinema and became a great director, it was he who enabled Paul de Cordon, after the war, to embark on a new life 
Devaivre was not only a cineaste but also an authentic character actor: working during the occupation for the German group Continental Films in Paris, he was at the same time a very active member of the French resistance  His exploits include flying from the Nevers region to London clandestinely after having made the journey from Paris to Nevers in the afternoon    by bicycle  Bertrand Tavernier's film “Laissez-passer’’ is directly inspired by his life, as recounted in his autobiography, “Action’’ 
In 1939, the 2nd Hussards broke up into reconnaissance groups which took part in the 1940 battles on the Ardennes front, * Paul de Cordon participated in these actions in a mounted squadron and was taken prisoner by the Germans  He ended his captivity in the fortress of Colditz where he was liberated by the US military on April 16, 1945 
In 1945 he married Dilette de Rigaud de Vaudreuil and they had three children  He remained in the army for a few more months and was assigned to the Cadre Noir in Saumur 

Second life
After a few months in Saumur, he decided to leave the army  In 1947 Jean Devaivre who had just directed “La dame d’onze heure" with Paul Meurisse, a film of astonishing modernity, offered him a job as his assistant and Paul de Cordon accepted 
He was Devaivre’s first assistant director for “La ferme des sept péchés" ( he was also the stuntman for scenes on horseback) and for "Vendetta en Camargue" where he reunited with Jacques Dufilho  At that time, in addition to being a stuntman he was also an acrobatic and burlesque dancer 
At the beginning of the 1950s, Paul de Cordon decided to become a professional photographer  He set up a studio in Paris and started developing relations with various clients in the press, advertising agencies, fashion designers, show business    
He also began to develop a large-scale personal project on the circus and the Crazy Horse Saloon cabaret  He spent many nights with his camera at Medrano, at the Bouglione brothers' Cirque d’Hiver and at the Crazy Horse Saloon  Until the 1990s he also traveled the world to visit
circuses and bring back photos  Over these years, he has developed close ties with the great dynasties of the circus ring : Schumann, Rancy, Knie, Gruss, Bouglione, Houcke, Medrano, Fratellini etc     In all these families the horse occupied a central role in their performances  This equestrian culture and Paul de Cordon’s experience as a horseman facilitated and consolidated links with all these artists and strengthened their mutual confidence and friendship  His taste for spectacle, ballets and theater helped him to appreciate and better understand the work represented by all these artists  During these years, in addition to his work as a photographer, Paul de Cordon wrote a lot about the circus and this is how the Swiss magazine “L’Année Hippique" often published his articles on horses and circus equestrians 

Circus instants
"Faced with this obstinate pursuit of the perfect gesture, I understood that I was living there what I had always sought: a circus moment"  “Instants de Cirque’’ is the title of Paul de Cordon's most famous book, which brings together a selection of images taken over more than thirty years and which he considered particularly representative  The book was edited by Bernard de Fallois who was also a circus lover and an admirer of Paul de Cordon's photos 
This book, published in 1977 by Le Chêne, allows us, with hindsight, to better understand the originality and peculiarity of Paul de Cordon’s photos  The circus is a subject that has greatly inspired photographers attracted by the spectacular and flashy nature of the circus ring  But there is no flashiness in the photos that appear there, they are intimate, shrouded in mystery, charged with a secret emotion  A photo of Gilbert Houcke with his tiger Prince illustrates their peculiarity well: there is no circus ring nor lights, we are backstage, the tamer wears a worn bathrobe, there is a sort of semi-darkness which brings out the eye of the tiger and his outstretched paw, claws extended, which he offers to the caress of the human hand  Few images make you feel with as much force the reciprocal respect and the affection that there can be between a wild beast and his tamer but also the formidable danger, the courage it takes to face it and the amount of work and humility that represent a successful act  This photo may not be what people call a circus photo, but it illustrates what Paul de Cordon called the “instant de cirque’’  Paul de Cordon had a great admiration for tamers and loved wild animals  He liked to enter their cages, accompanied by the tamer of course  He also
chose to include on the jacket of his book, a photo of himself with the lionesses of Georges Marck, wearing the uniform of the 2nd Hussards  The photo was shot by his brother, Benoît de Cordon 
Paul de Cordon was passionately fond of the circus, but he did not like being labeled as a circus photographer because the documentary aspect often linked to that genre and most often sought after by circophiles, was of no interest to him  What he was interested in and what he wanted to express in his photos was, he said, “the peculiarity of an artist, the very core of his art’’  He had an exceptional talent for capturing what others didn't always see, which is probably why so many circus performers wanted to be photographed by him 

Crazy Horse Saloon
Paul de Cordon met Alain Bernardin at the very beginning of the Crazy Horse Saloon The old coal cellar on the avenue George V had just been converted into a micro cabaret  The former antique dealer who invented the most cerebral strip show in the world and the recently converted cavalry officer shared a common aversion for rules and conventions and were both attracted to show business and pretty women  The friendship between them that lasted many years was punctuated with sulking  They both had a touch of dandyism and a taste for beautiful fabrics and bespoke suits which led them to share a Russian tailor before he emigrated to Hollywood to dress movie stars  Paul de Cordon took hundreds of photos at the Paris cabaret which illustrate the long history of the place   There are also many images shot in the dressing rooms  They are more intimate, devoid of any sort of voyeurism and translate the total confidence of the dancers This part of his work is less well known as it reveals a different face of his talent 

Portraits
Paul de Cordon is not considered a portrait photographer and yet, one realizes when looking at his work, that he also excelled in this particular art as evidenced by portraits of his friends the Gruss brothers, Alexis and André, of the clown Pipo and of Jean Houcke  His striking portrait of the actor Jacques Dufilho, in a black leather coat captures all the austerity and intelligence of this comedian  His portraits of pop stars are of interest in that they totally ignore the canons of the yé-yé aesthetic
imposed by the iconic music magazine « Salut les copains » (Hello mates) 
Paul de Cordon worked regularly for advertising, fashion, and the press 
In advertising he worked for Nikon and Beaulieu shooting their ads and catalogues for several years 
In the press he began working for horse magazines  During the 60’s he did many jobs for the music press and for record companies including photos of pop groups, yé-yé stars, or even latin music groups (Chaussettes noires, Johnny Hallyday, Hugues Aufray, Françoise Hardy, Sylvie Vartan and los Machucambos) 
He was also involved in fashion photography and participated for several years in the July fashion show marathons when Paris studios were overbooked for night photoshoots 

3 zebras
In the contemporary world, images are everywhere, and some photos are more famous than their photographers  Everyone knows “Le baîser de l’hôtel de Ville’’ by Robert Doisneau, “Death of a republican soldier’’ by Robert Capa, or “Dovima and the elephants" by Avedon  Paul de Cordon most famous photo, undoubtedly, is “Three zebras’’ which has been presented in all his exhibitions and appears, of course, in Instants de Cirque although it was not shot in a circus but at the Amsterdam Zoo in 1957  This photo was published worldwide, including in the American edition of Life in March 1962 
Paul de Cordon died in March 1998 in Paris, two years before his wife, Dilette, who had accompanied him to circuses around the world  They are buried in Verneuil in the Nièvre  Paul de Cordon is the grandfather of Pierre-Elie de Pibrac, a photographer known in
particular for his work on the Paris Opera  Photos from his book “In Situ’’ (2014) have been exhibited in France and around the world  It was thanks to his grandfather with whom he was very close, that Pierre-Elie de Pibrac developed his vocation for photography

Passage 6:
Catherine I of Russia
Catherine I Alekseevna Mikhailova (Russian: Екатери́на I Алексе́евна Миха́йлова, tr  Ekaterína I Alekséyevna Mikháylova; born Polish: Marta Helena Skowrońska, Russian: Ма́рта Самуи́ловна Скавро́нская, tr  Márta Samuílovna Skavrónskaya; 15 April [O S  5 April] 1684 – 17 May [O S  6 May] 1727) was the second wife and empress consort of Peter the Great, and empress regnant of Russia from 1725 until her death in 1727 

Life as a servant
The life of Catherine I was said by Voltaire to be nearly as extraordinary as that of Peter the Great himself  Only uncertain and contradictory information is available about her early life  Said to have been born on 15 April 1684 (o s  5 April), she was originally named Marta Helena Skowrońska  Marta was the daughter of Samuel Skowroński (later spelled Samuil Skavronsky), a Roman Catholic farmer from the eastern parts of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, born to Minsker parents  In 1680 he married Dorothea Hahn at Jakobstadt  Her mother is named in at least one source as Elizabeth Moritz, the daughter of a Baltic German woman and there is debate as to whether Moritz's father was a Swedish officer  It is likely that two stories were conflated, and Swedish sources suggest that the Elizabeth Moritz story is probably incorrect  Some biographies state that Marta's father was a gravedigger and handyman, while others speculate that he was a runaway landless serf 
Marta's parents died of the plague around 1689, leaving five children  According to one of the popular versions, at the age of three Marta was taken by an aunt and sent to Marienburg (the present-day Alūksne in Latvia, near the border with Estonia and Russia) where she was raised by Johann Ernst Glück, a Lutheran pastor and educator who was the first to translate the Bible into Latvian  In his household she served as a lowly servant, likely either a scullery maid or washerwoman   No effort was made to teach her to read and write and she remained illiterate throughout her life 
Marta was considered a very beautiful young girl, and there are accounts that Frau Glück became fearful that she would become involved with her son  At the age of seventeen, she was married off to a Swedish dragoon, Johan Cruse or Johann Rabbe, with whom she remained for eight days in 1702, at which point the Swedish troops were withdrawn from Marienburg  When Russian forces captured the town, Pastor Glück offered to work as a translator, and Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev agreed to his proposal and took him to Moscow 
There are unsubstantiated stories that Marta worked briefly in the laundry of the victorious regiment, and also that she was presented in her undergarments to Brigadier General Rudolph Felix Bauer, later the Governor of Estonia, to be his mistress  She may have worked in the household of his superior, Sheremetev  It is not known whether she was his mistress, or household maid   She travelled back to the Russian court with Sheremetev's army Afterwards she became part of the household of Prince Alexander Menshikov, who was the best friend of Peter the Great of Russia  Anecdotal sources suggest that she was purchased by him  Whether the two of them were lovers is disputed, as Menshikov was already engaged to Darya Arsenyeva, his future wife  It is clear that Menshikov and Marta formed a lifetime alliance 
It is possible that Menshikov, who was quite jealous of Peter's attentions and knew his tastes, wanted to procure a mistress on whom he could rely  In any case, in 1703, while visiting Menshikov at his home, Peter met Marta  In 1704, she was well established in the Tsar's household as his mistress, and gave birth to a son, Peter  In 1703, she converted to Orthodoxy and took the new name Catherine Alexeyevna (Yekaterina Alexeyevna)  She and Darya Menshikova accompanied Peter and Menshikov on their military excursions 

Marriage and family life
Though no record exists, Catherine and Peter are described as having married secretly between 23 October and 1 December 1707 in Saint Petersburg  They had twelve children, two of whom survived into adulthood, Anna (born 1708) and Elizabeth (born 1709) 
Peter had moved the capital to St  Petersburg in 1703  While the city was being built he lived in a three-room log cabin with Catherine, where she did the cooking and caring for the children, and he tended a garden as though they were an ordinary couple  The relationship was the most successful of Peter's life and a great number of letters exist demonstrating the strong affection between Catherine and Peter  As a person she was very energetic, compassionate, charming, and always cheerful  She was able to calm Peter in his frequent rages and was often called in to do so 
Catherine went with Peter on his Pruth Campaign in 1711  There, she was said to have saved Peter and his Empire, as related by Voltaire in his book Peter the Great  Surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Turkish troops, Catherine suggested before surrendering, that her jewels and those of the other women be used in an effort to bribe the Ottoman grand vizier Baltacı Mehmet Pasha into allowing a retreat 
Mehmet allowed the retreat, whether motivated by the bribe or considerations of trade and diplomacy  In any case Peter credited Catherine and proceeded to marry her again (this time officially) at Saint Isaac's Cathedral in St  Petersburg on 9 February 1712   She was Peter's second wife; he had previously married and divorced Eudoxia Lopukhina, who had borne him the Tsarevich Alexis Petrovich  Upon their wedding, Catherine took on the style of her husband and became Tsarina  When Peter elevated the Russian Tsardom to Empire, Catherine became Empress  The Order of Saint Catherine was instituted by her husband on the occasion of their wedding 

Issue
Catherine and Peter had twelve children, all of whom died in childhood except Anna and Elizabeth:

Peter Petrovich (1704–1707), died in infancy
Paul Petrovich (October 1705–1707), died in infancy
Catherine Petrovna (7 February 1707–7 August 1708)
Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna (27 January 1708–15 May 1728)
Grand Duchess Elizabeth Petrovna (29 December 1709–5 January 1762)
Grand Duchess Mary Natalia Petrovna (20 March 1713–17 May 1715)
Grand Duchess Margaret Petrovna (19 September 1714–7 June 1715)
Grand Duke Peter Petrovich (9 November 1715–6 May 1719)

Grand Duke Paul Petrovich (13 January 1717–14 January 1717)
Grand Duchess Natalia Petrovna (31 August 1718–15 March 1725)
Grand Duke Peter Petrovich (7 October 1723–7 October 1723)
Grand Duke Paul Petrovich (1724–1724)

Siblings
Upon Peter's death, Catherine found her four siblings, Krystyna, Anna, Karol, and Fryderyk, gave them the newly created titles of Count and Countess, and brought them to Russia 

Krystyna Skowrońska, renamed Christina (Russian: Христина) Samuilovna Skavronskaya (1687–14 April 1729), had married Simon Heinrich (Russian: Симон Гейнрих) (1672–1728) and their descendants became the Counts Gendrikov 
Anna Skowrońska, renamed Anna Samuilovna Skavronskaya, had married one Michael-Joachim N and their descendants became the Counts Efimovsky 
Karol Skowroński, renamed Karel Samuilovich Skavronsky, was created a Count of the Russian Empire on 5 January 1727 and made a Chamberlain of the Imperial Court; he had married Maria Ivanovna, a Russian woman, by whom he had descendants who became extinct in the male line with the death of Count Paul Martinovich Skavronskyi (1757-1793), father of Princess Catherine Bagration 
Fryderyk Skowroński, renamed Feodor Samuilovich Skavronsky, was created a Count of the Russian Empire on 5 January 1727 and was married twice: to N, a Lithuanian woman, and to Ekaterina Rodionovna Saburova, without having children by either of them 

Reign as empress regnant
Catherine was crowned in 1724  The year before his death, Peter and Catherine had an estrangement over her support of Willem Mons, brother of Peter's former mistress Anna, and brother to one of the current ladies in waiting for Catherine, Matryona  He served as Catherine's secretary  Peter had fought his entire life to clear up corruption in Russia  Catherine had a great deal of influence over who could gain access to her husband  Willem Mons and his sister Matryona had begun selling their influence to those who wanted access to Catherine and, through her, to Peter  Apparently this had been overlooked by Catherine, who was fond of both  Peter found out and had Willem Mons executed and his sister Matryona exiled  He and Catherine did not speak for several months  Rumors flew that she and Mons had had an affair, but there is no evidence for this 
Peter died (28 January 1725 Old Style) without naming a successor  Catherine represented the interests of the "new men", commoners who had been brought to positions of great power by Peter based on competence  A change of government was likely to favor the entrenched aristocrats  For that reason during a meeting of a council to decide on a successor, a coup was arranged by Menshikov and others in which the guards regiments with whom Catherine was very popular proclaimed her the ruler of Russia  Supporting evidence was "produced" from Peter's secretary Makarov and the Bishop of Pskov, both "new men" with motivation to see Catherine take over  The real power, however, lay with Menshikov, Peter Tolstoy, and other members of the Supreme Privy Council 
Catherine viewed the deposed empress Eudoxia as a threat, so she secretly moved her to Shlisselburg Fortress near St  Petersburg to be put in a secret prison under strict custody as a state prisoner 

Death
Catherine I died two years after Peter I, on 17 May 1727 at age 43, in St  Petersburg, where she was buried at St  Peter and St  Paul Fortress  Tuberculosis, diagnosed as an abscess of the lungs, caused her early demise 
Before her death she recognized Peter II, the grandson of Peter I and Eudoxia, as her successor 

Assessment and legacy
Catherine was the first woman to rule Imperial Russia, opening the legal path for a century almost entirely dominated by women, including her daughter Elizabeth and granddaughter-in-law Catherine the Great, all of whom continued Peter the Great's policies in modernizing Russia   At the time of Peter's death the Russian Army, composed of 130,000 men and supplemented by another 100,000 Cossacks, was easily the largest in Europe   However, the expense of the military was proving ruinous to the Russian economy, consuming some 65% of the government's annual revenue   Since the nation was at peace, Catherine was determined to reduce military expenditure   For most of her reign, Catherine I was controlled by her advisers   However, on this single issue, the reduction of military expenses, Catherine was able to have her way   The resulting tax relief on the peasantry led to the reputation of Catherine I as a just and fair ruler The Supreme Privy Council concentrated power in the hands of one party, and thus was an executive innovation  In foreign affairs, Russia reluctantly joined the Austro-Spanish league to defend the interests of Catherine's son-in-law, the Duke of Holstein, against Great Britain 
Catherine gave her name to Catherinehof near St  Petersburg, and built the first bridges in the new capital  She was also the first royal owner of the Tsarskoye Selo estate, where the Catherine Palace still bears her name 
The city of Yekaterinburg is named after her, Yekaterina being the Russian form of her name 
She also gave her name to the Kadriorg Palace (German: Katharinental, meaning "Catherine's Valley"), its adjacent Kadriorg Park and the later Kadriorg neighbourhood of Tallinn, Estonia, which today houses the Presidential Palace of Estonia  The name of the neighbourhood is also used as a metonym for the institution of the President 
In general, Catherine's policies were reasonable and cautious   The story of her humble origins was considered by later generations of tsars to be a state secret

Passage 9:
Paul de Maleingreau
Paul Constant Eugène de Maleingreau (23 November 1887 - 9 January 1956) was a Belgian composer and organist 

Biography
Paul Constant Eugène Malengreau was born in  Trélon, Nord, France  He later changed his surname to "de Maleingreau"  From 1905 to 1912 he studied at the Brussels Conservatory where his principal teachers were Alfons Desmet, Paul Gilson and Edgar Tinel  He began teaching at the Conservatory in 1913 and was professor of organ (succeeding Desmet) from 1929 until 1953   His pupils included Pierre Froidebise, Charles Koenig, Robert Kohnen, Marcel Druart, Paul Sprimont and Herman Roelstraete 
In 1921 and 1922 he was the first to play Bach’s complete organ works in Brussels 
Gregorian plainsong forms the basis of most of Malengreau’s compositions, and indeed part of his output is intended for the liturgy  He also wrote programme music, his organ symphonies being inspired by paintings by Rogier van der Weyden and the van Eyck brothers  While the chromaticism and cyclic treatment of themes reveal the influence of Franck, certain harmonic progressions are typical of Impressionist music 
He was a member of the Libre Académie, and died in Brussels in 1956

W  Augustus Barratt
W  Augustus Barratt (3 June 1873 – 12 April 1947) was a Scottish-born, later American, songwriter and musician 

Early life and songs
Walter Augustus Barratt was born 3 June 1873 in Kilmarnock, the son of composer John Barratt; the family later lived in Paisley  In 1893 he won a scholarship for composition to the Royal College of Music 
In his early twenties he contributed to The Scottish Students' Song Book, with three of his own song compositions and numerous arrangements 
By the end of 1897 he had published dozens of songs, such as Sir Patrick Spens, The Death of Cuthullin, an album of his own compositions, and arrangements of ten songs by Samuel Lover 
He then, living in London, turned his attention to staged musical comedy, co-creating, with Adrian Ross, The Tree Dumas Skiteers, a skit, based on Sydney Grundy's The Musketeers that starred Herbert Beerbohm Tree  He co-composed with Howard Talbot the successful Kitty Grey (1900) He continued to write songs and to receive recognition for them  The 1901 and 1902 BBC Promenade Concerts, "The Proms", included four of his compositions, namely Come back, sweet Love, The Mermaid, My Peggy and Private Donald 
His setting of My Ships, a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, was performed by Clara Butt and republished several times  It also appeared four times, with different singers, in the 1913 and 1914 Proms 

America
In September 1904 he went to live in New York City, finding employment with shows on Broadway, including the following roles:

on-stage actor (Sir Benjamin Backbite) in Lady Teazle (1904-1905), a musical version of The School for Scandal;
musical director of The Little Michus (1907), also featuring songs by Barratt;
co-composer of Miss Pocahontas (1907), a musical comedy;
musical director of The Love Cure (1909–1910), a musical romance;

musical director of The Quaker Girl (1911–1912);
co-composer and musical director of My Best Girl (1912);

contributor of lyrics to The Melting of Molly (1918–1919), a musical comedy;
musical director of What's in a Name? (1920), a musical revue

1921 in London
Though domiciled in the US, he made several visits back to England  During an extended stay in 1921 he played a major part in the creation of two shows, both produced by Charles B  Cochran, namely

League of Notions, at the New Oxford Theatre, for which he composed the music and co-wrote, with John Murray Anderson, the lyrics;
Fun of the Fayre, at the London Pavilion, for which similarly he wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics

Back to Broadway
Back in the US he returned to Broadway, working as
composer and lyricist of Jack and Jill (1923), a musical comedy;
musical director of The Silver Swan (1929), a musical romance

Radio plays
In later years he wrote plays and operettas mostly for radio, such as:

Snapshots: a radioperetta (1929)
Sushannah and the Brush Wielders: a play in 1 act (1929)
The Magic Voice: a radio series (1933)
Men of Action: a series of radio sketches (1933)
Say, Uncle: a radio series (1933)
Sealed Orders: a radio drama (1934)
Sergeant Gabriel (with Hugh Abercrombie) (1945)

Personal
In 1897 in London he married Lizzie May Stoner  They had one son  In 1904 he emigrated to the US and lived in New York City  His first marriage ended in divorce in 1915 and, in 1918, he married Ethel J Moore, who was American  In 1924, he became a naturalized American citizen  He died on 12 April 1947 in New York City 

Note on his first name
The book British Musical Biography by Brown & Stratton (1897) in its entry for John Barratt refers to "his son William Augustus Barratt" with details that make it clear that Walter Augustus Barratt is the same person and that a "William" Augustus Barratt is a mistake  For professional purposes up to about 1900 he appears to have written as "W  Augustus Barratt", and thereafter mostly as simply "Augustus Barratt" 
Context 2: Passage 1:
O Valencia!
"O Valencia!" is the fifth single by the indie rock band The Decemberists, and the first released from their fourth studio album, The Crane Wife 
The music was written by The Decemberists and the lyrics by Colin Meloy  It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers  The singer falls in love with a person who belongs to an opposing gang  At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother (the singer's "sworn enemy") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer 

Track listing
The 7" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with "Culling of the Fold" as the B-side despite the artwork and record label listing "After the Bombs" as the B-side 

Music videos
For the "O Valencia!" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves in front of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage  Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, having recently asked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment "Look Who's Riding on My Coattails Now" and accused the band of stealing the idea  The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar solo showdown on December 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of "O Valencia!", directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, on MTV2  The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of "the Boss", plan an escape to an unknown location  At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the "Valencia" hotel (the Super Value Inn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape  Above the name of the hotel, there is a neon sign that reads "Office"  The letters have all burnt out except for the "O", creating the title of the song  The video then introduces other characters - various assassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers  Most are portrayed by other members of the band (along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis)  They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan  Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, before they gang up on him  The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca  They execute Francesca, while forcing Patrick to watch  After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection  2 months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe  The man reveals that he snitched on Patrick just to take over the town  Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrick in the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick 
The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with bold fonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums)  The band had previously (and more explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for "Sixteen Military Wives"  The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used in Bottle Rocket 
Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TV containing the green-screened Decemberists video footage

George Michael
George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou; 25 June 1963 – 25 December 2016) was an English singer-songwriter, record producer, and musician  He is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with his sales estimated at between 100 million and 125 million records worldwide  A prominent figure in popular music, Michael was known as a creative force in songwriting, vocal performance, and visual presentation  He achieved 13 number one songs on the UK Singles Chart and 10 number one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100  Michael won numerous music awards, including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards  He was listed among Billboard's the "Greatest Hot 100 Artists of All Time" and Rolling Stone's the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time”  The Radio Academy named him the most played artist on British radio during the period 1984–2004  Michael has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music hall of fame Born in East Finchley, Middlesex, Michael rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career  After he formed Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley in 1981, the band's first two albums, Fantastic (1983) and Make It Big (1984), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200  Their hit singles included "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas"  Establishing themselves as a global act, Wham! toured China in April 1985; the tour was the first visit to China by a Western popular music act, and it generated worldwide media coverage Michael's first solo single "Careless Whisper" (1984) reached number one in over 20 countries, including the UK and US  Before embarking on the production of his first solo album, Michael went on to release two number one solo singles, "A Different Corner" and the Aretha Franklin duet "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"  Michael's debut solo album, Faith (1987) topping the UK Albums Chart and staying at number one on the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks  Globally it sold 25 million copies, and four singles from the album—"Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey"—reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100  Michael became the best-selling music artist of 1988, and Faith was awarded Album of the Year at the 1989 Grammy Awards  His second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol  1 (1990), sold approximately over eight million copies and was a UK number one  It included the Billboard Hot 100 number one "Praying for Time" and the worldwide hit "Freedom! '90"  A 1991 live duet with Elton John, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", was also a transatlantic number one  Michael went on to release two more multimillion-selling albums, Older (1996) and Patience (2004) 
Outside music, Michael was an active LGBT rights campaigner and HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser  His personal life, drug use, and legal troubles made headlines during the late 1990s and 2000s, as he was arrested for public lewdness in 1998 and was arrested for multiple drug-related offences after that time  Michael came out as gay in 1998  The 2005 documentary A Different Story covered his career and personal life  Michael's 25 Live tour spanned three tours from 2006 to 2008  Michael fell into a coma in 2011 during a bout with pneumonia, but later recovered  He performed his final concert at London's Earls Court in 2012  Michael died of heart disease on Christmas Day in 2016, at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire 

Early life
George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Greek: Γεώργιος Κυριάκος Παναγιώτου) on 25 June 1963, in East Finchley  His father, Kyriacos "Jack" Panayiotou, was a Greek-Cypriot restaurateur who emigrated from Patriki, Cyprus, to England in the 1950s  His mother, Lesley Angold (born Harrison, died 1997), was an English dancer  In June 2008, Michael told the Los Angeles Times that his maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she married a non-Jewish man and raised her children with no knowledge of their Jewish background due to her fear during World War II  Michael spent most of his childhood in Kingsbury, London, in the home his parents bought soon after his birth; he attended Roe Green Junior School and Kingsbury High School  Michael had two sisters: Yioda (born 1958) and Melanie (1960–2019)  On the BBC's Desert Island Discs, he disclosed that his interest in music followed an injury to his head around the age of eight 

Early music
While Michael was in his early teens, the family moved to Radlett  There, Michael began attending Bushey Meads School in Bushey, where he, as "Yog", met, sat down next to, and befriended, his future Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley  The two had the same career ambition of being musicians  Michael busked on the London Underground, performing songs such as "'39" by Queen  His involvement in the music business began with his working as a DJ, playing at the Bel Air Restaurant in Northwood, London, clubs, and local schools around Bushey, Stanmore, and Watford  This was followed by the formation of a short-lived ska band called The Executive, with Ridgeley, Ridgeley's brother Paul, Andrew Leaver, Jamie Gould, and David Mortimer (later known as David Austin) 

Wham!
Michael formed the duo Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley in 1981  On the cusp of fame, he decided to legally change his name to the more accessible George Michael  The band's first album Fantastic reached No  1 in the UK in 1983 and produced a series of top 10 singles including "Young Guns", "Wham Rap!", and "Club Tropicana"  Their second album, Make It Big, reached No  1 on the charts in the US  Singles from that album included "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" (No  1 in the UK and US), "Freedom", "Everything She Wants", and "Careless Whisper" which reached No  1 in nearly 25 countries, including the UK and US, and was Michael's first solo effort as a single  In December 1984, the single "Last Christmas" was released  In 1985 Michael received the first of his three Ivor Novello Awards for Songwriter of the Year from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors Michael performed on the original 1984 Band Aid recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?"—he appears third on the song after Paul Young and Boy George sing their lines  The song became the UK Christmas number one and Michael also donated the profits from "Last Christmas" and "Everything She Wants" to charity  Michael sang "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" with Elton John at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in London on 13 July 1985  He also contributed background vocals to David Cassidy's 1985 hit "The Last Kiss", as well as Elton John's 1985 successes "Nikita" and "Wrap Her Up"  Michael cited Cassidy as a major career influence and interviewed Cassidy for David Litchfield's Ritz Newspaper 

Wham!'s tour of China in April 1985, the first visit to China by a Western popular music act, generated worldwide media coverage, much of it centred on Michael  The headline in the Chicago Tribune read: "East meets Wham!, and another great wall comes down"  Before Wham!'s appearance in China, many kinds of music in the country were forbidden  The band's manager, Simon Napier-Bell, had spent 18 months trying to convince Chinese officials to let the duo play  The audience included members of the Chinese government  Chinese television presenter Kan Lijun, who was the on-stage host, spoke of Wham!'s historic performance: "No-one had ever seen anything like that before  All the young people were amazed and everybody was tapping their feet  Of course the police weren't happy and they were scared there would be riots " Wham! performed their hits with scantily clad dancers and strobing disco lights  According to Napier-Bell, Michael tried to get the crowd to clap along to "Club Tropicana", but "they hadn't a clue – they thought he wanted applause and politely gave it", before adding that some Chinese did eventually "get the hang of clapping on the beat " A UK embassy official in China stated "there was some lively dancing but this was almost entirely confined to younger western members of the audience " The tour was documented by film director Lindsay Anderson and producer Martin Lewis in their film Wham! in China: Foreign Skies With the success of Michael's solo singles, "Careless Whisper" (1984) and "A Different Corner" (1986), rumours of an impending break up of Wham! intensified  The duo officially separated in 1986, after releasing a farewell single, "The Edge of Heaven" and a farewell compilation, The Final (their third album Music from the Edge of Heaven was released in North America and Japan), plus a sell-out concert at Wembley Stadium that included the world premiere of the China film  The Wham! partnership ended officially with the commercially successful single "The Edge of Heaven", which reached No  1 on the UK chart in June 1986 

Solo career
1987–1989
During early 1987, at the beginning of his solo career, Michael released "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)", a duet with Aretha Franklin  "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" was a one-off project that helped Michael achieve an ambition by singing with one of his favourite artists  It scored number one on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 upon its release  For Michael, it became his third consecutive solo number one in the UK from three releases, after 1984's "Careless Whisper" (though the single was actually from the Wham! album Make It Big) and 1986's "A Different Corner"  The single was also the first Michael had recorded as a solo artist which he had not written himself  The co-writer, Simon Climie, was unknown at the time; he later had success as a performer with the band Climie Fisher in 1988  Michael and Aretha Franklin won a Grammy Award in 1988 for Best R&B Performance – Duo or Group with Vocal for the song In late 1987, Michael released his debut solo album, Faith  The first single released from the album was "I Want Your Sex", in mid-1987  The song was banned by many radio stations in the UK and US, due to its sexually suggestive lyrics  MTV broadcast the video, featuring celebrity make-up artist Kathy Jeung in a basque and suspenders, only during the late night hours  Michael argued that the act was beautiful if the sex was monogamous, and he recorded a brief prologue for the video in which he said: "This song is not about casual sex " One of the racier scenes involved Michael writing the words "explore monogamy" on his partner's back in lipstick  Some radio stations played a toned-down version of the song, "I Want Your Love", with the word "love" replacing "sex" When "I Want Your Sex" reached the US charts, American Top 40 host Casey Kasem refused to say the song's title, referring to it only as "the new single by George Michael " In the US, the song was also sometimes listed as "I Want Your Sex (from Beverly Hills Cop II)", since the song was featured on the soundtrack of the movie  Despite censorship and radio play problems, "I Want Your Sex" reached No  2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No  3 in the UK  The second single, "Faith", was released in October 1987, a few weeks before the album  "Faith" became one of his most popular songs  The song was No  1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, becoming the best-selling single of 1988 in the US  It also reached No  1 in Australia, and No  2 on the UK Singles Chart  The video provided some definitive images of the 1980s music industry in the process—Michael in shades, leather jacket, cowboy boots, and Levi's jeans, playing a guitar near a classic-design jukebox On 30 October, Faith was released in the UK and in several markets worldwide  Faith topped the UK Albums Chart, and in the US, the album had 51 non-consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Billboard 200, including 12 weeks at No  1  Faith had many successes, with four singles ("Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey") reaching No  1 in the US  Faith was certified Diamond by the RIAA for sales of 10 million copies in the US  To date, global sales of Faith are more than 25 million units  The album was highly acclaimed by music critics, with AllMusic journalist Steve Huey describing it as a "superbly crafted mainstream pop/rock masterpiece" and "one of the finest pop albums of the '80s"  In a review by Rolling Stone magazine, journalist Mark Coleman commended most of the songs on the album, which he said "displays Michael's intuitive understanding of pop music and his increasingly intelligent use of his power to communicate to an ever-growing audience "In 1988, Michael embarked on a world tour  In Los Angeles, Michael was joined on stage by Aretha Franklin for "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"  It was the second highest grossing event of 1988, earning $17 7 million  At the 1988 Brit Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall on 8 February, Michael received the first of his two awards for Best British Male Solo Artist  Later that month, Faith won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year at the 31st Grammy Awards  At the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards on 6 September in Los Angeles, Michael received the Video Vanguard Award  According to Michael in his film, A Different Story, success did not make him happy and he started to think there was something wrong in being an idol for millions of teenage girls  The whole Faith process (promotion, videos, tour, awards) left him exhausted, lonely and frustrated, and far from his friends and family  In 1990, he told his record company Sony that, for his second album, he did not want to do promotions like the one for Faith 

1990s
Listen Without Prejudice Vol  1 was released in September 1990  The title is an indication of his desire to be taken more seriously as a songwriter  It reached No  23 in the UK and No  27 in the US in October 1990  The album was released in Europe on 3 September 1990, and one week later in the US  It reached No  1 in the UK Albums Chart and peaked at No  2 on the US Billboard 200  It spent a total of 88 weeks on the UK Albums Chart and was certified four-times Platinum by the BPI  The album produced five UK singles, all of which were released within an eight-month period: "Praying for Time", "Waiting for That Day", "Freedom! '90", "Heal the Pain", and "Cowboys and Angels" (the latter being his only single not to chart in the UK top 40)  Michael refused to do any promotion for the album  At the 1991 Brit Awards, Listen Without Prejudice Vol  1 won the award for Best British Album The album's first single, "Praying for Time", with lyrics concerning social ills and injustice, was released in August 1990  James Hunter of Rolling Stone magazine described the song as "a distraught look at the world's astounding woundedness  Michael offers the healing passage of time as the only balm for physical and emotional hunger, poverty, hypocrisy, and hatred " The song was an instant success, reaching No  1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No  6 in the UK  A video was released shortly thereafter, consisting of the lyrics on a dark background  Michael did not appear in this video or any subsequent videos for the album  The second single from Listen Without Prejudice Vol  1, "Waiting for That Day", was an acoustic-heavy single, released as an immediate follow-up to "Praying for Time" 
"Freedom '90" was the second of only two singles from Listen Without Prejudice to be supported by a music video (the other being the Michael-less "Praying for Time")  The song alludes to his struggles with his artistic identity, and prophesied his efforts shortly thereafter to end his recording contract with Sony Music  As if to prove the song's sentiment, Michael refused to appear in the video (directed by David Fincher), and instead recruited supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, and Cindy Crawford to appear in and lip sync in his stead  It also featured lyrics critical of his sex symbol status  It reached No  8 success on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and No  28 on the UK Singles Chart  "Mother's Pride" gained significant radio play in the US during the first Persian Gulf War during 1991, often with radio stations mixing in callers' tributes to soldiers with the music Later in 1991, Michael embarked on the Cover to Cover tour in Japan, England, the US, and Brazil, where he performed at Rock in Rio  The tour was not a proper promotion for Listen Without Prejudice Vol  1  Rather, it featured Michael singing his favourite cover songs  Among his favourites was "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a 1974 song by Elton John; Michael and John had performed the song together at the Live Aid concert in 1985, and again for Michael's concert at London's Wembley Arena on 25 March 1991, where the duet was recorded  "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" was released as a single at the end of 1991 and reached No  1 in both the UK and US  In 1991, Michael released an autobiography through Penguin Books titled Bare, co-written with Tony Parsons An expected follow-up album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol  2, was scrapped due to Michael's lawsuit with Sony  Instead, Michael donated three songs to the charity project Red Hot + Dance, for the Red Hot Organization which raised money for AIDS awareness; a fourth track, "Crazyman Dance", was the B-side of 1992's "Too Funky"  Michael donated the royalties from "Too Funky" to the same cause  "Too Funky" reached No  4 on the UK Singles Chart and No  10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 

Michael performed with Queen at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert on 20 April 1992 at Wembley Stadium  The concert was a tribute to the life of the late Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, with the proceeds going to AIDS research  Michael performed "'39", "These Are the Days of Our Lives" with Lisa Stansfield and "Somebody to Love"  Michael's performance of "Somebody to Love" was hailed as "one of the best performances of the tribute concert"  Michael later reflected, "It was probably the proudest moment for me of my career, because it was me living out a childhood fantasy, I suppose, to sing one of Freddie's songs in front of 80,000 people "The Five Live EP featured five live recordings (six in several countries) performed by Michael, Queen, and Lisa Stansfield  "Somebody to Love" and "These Are the Days of Our Lives" were recorded at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert  "Killer", "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", and "Calling You" were recorded during his Cover to Cover Tour from 1991 
All proceeds from the sale of the EP benefited the Mercury Phoenix Trust  Sales of the EP were strong through Europe, where it debuted at No  1 in the UK and several European countries  Chart success in the US was less spectacular, where it reached No  40 on the Billboard 200 ("Somebody to Love" reached No  30 on the US Billboard Hot 100)  The performance would later feature on Queen's compilation album Greatest Hits III During November 1994, after a long period of seclusion, Michael appeared at the first MTV Europe Music Awards show, where he gave a performance of a new song, "Jesus to a Child"  The song was a melancholy tribute to his lover, Anselmo Feleppa, who had died in March 1993  The song entered the UK Singles Chart at No  1 and No  7 on Billboard upon release in 1996  It was Michael's longest UK Top 40 single, at almost seven minutes long  The exact identity of the song's subject—and the nature of Michael's relationship with Feleppa—was shrouded in innuendo and speculation, as Michael had not confirmed he was homosexual and did not do so until 1998  The video for "Jesus to a Child" was a picture of images recalling loss, pain and suffering  Michael consistently dedicated the song to Feleppa before performing it live Michael released "Fastlove", an energetic tune about wanting gratification and fulfilment without commitment, in 1996  The single version was nearly five minutes long  "Fastlove" was supported by a futuristic virtual reality-related video  The single reached No  1 on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks at the top spot  In the US, "Fastlove" peaked at No  8  Following "Fastlove", Michael released Older, his third studio album  In the UK, the album was particularly notable for producing a record six top three hit singles in a two-year span In 1996, Michael was voted Best British Male at the MTV Europe Music Awards and the Brit Awards; and at the British Academy's Ivor Novello Awards, he was awarded the title of Songwriter of the Year for the third time  Michael performed a concert at Three Mills Studios, London, for MTV Unplugged  It was his first long performance in years, and in the audience was Michael's mother, who died of cancer the following year Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael (1998) was Michael's first solo greatest hits collection  The collection of 28 songs (29 songs are included on the European and Australian release) are separated into two halves, with each containing a particular theme and mood  The first CD, titled "For the Heart", predominantly contains ballads; the second CD, "For the Feet", consists mainly of dance tunes  It was released through Sony Music Entertainment as a condition of severing contractual ties with the label  Ladies & Gentlemen was a success, peaking at No  1 on the UK Albums Chart for eight weeks  It spent over 200 weeks in the UK chart, and is the 45th best-selling album of all time in the UK  It is certified seven-times platinum in the UK and multi-platinum in the US, and is Michael's most commercially successful album in his homeland, having sold more than 2 8 million copies  As of 2013, the album had reached worldwide sales of approximately 15 million copies  The first single of the album, "Outside", was a humorous song making a reference to his arrest for soliciting a policeman in a public toilet  "As", his duet with Mary J  Blige, was released as the second single in many territories around the world  Both singles reached the top 5 in the UK Singles Chart Released in 1999, Songs from the Last Century is a studio album of cover tracks  The album achieved the lowest peak of his solo efforts, peaking at No  157 on the American Billboard 200 albums chart and at No  2 in the UK Albums Chart 

2000s
In 2000, Michael worked on the hit single "If I Told You That" with Whitney Houston  Michael co-produced on the single along with Rodney Jerkins  Michael's first single from his fifth studio album, "Freeek!", reached the Top 10 in the UK  His next single was "Shoot the Dog" which was released in July 2002 during the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq  The video for the song showed Tony Blair as George Bush's poodle  The single's cover featured the Daily Mirror's "Howdy Poodle" front page from earlier in the year  Responding to criticism, Michael said, "I am British, I live here, I pay my taxes, and I'm very, very worried that we are now the second most dangerous country in the world thanks to our special relationship with America " It reached No  1 in Denmark and made the top 5 in most European charts  It peaked at No  12 on the UK Singles Chart In February 2003, Michael recorded another song in protest against the looming Iraq war, Don McLean's "The Grave"  The original was written by McLean in 1971 and was a protest against the Vietnam War  Michael performed the song on numerous TV shows including Top of the Pops and So Graham Norton  His performance of the song on Top of the Pops on 7 March 2003 was his first studio appearance on the programme since 1986  He ran into conflict with the show's producers for an anti-war, anti-Blair T-shirt worn by some members of his band  McLean stated that he was "'proud of George Michael for standing up for life and sanity'" 

When Michael's fifth studio album, Patience, was released in 2004, it was critically acclaimed and went to No  1 on the UK Albums Chart  The album became one of the fastest-selling albums in the UK, selling over 200,000 copies in the first week alone  It reached the Top 5 on most European charts and peaked at No  12 in the US, selling over 500,000 copies to earn a Gold certification from the RIAA  "Amazing", the third single from the album, became a No  1 hit in Europe  When Michael appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show on 26 May 2004, to promote the album, he performed "Amazing", along with his classic songs "Father Figure" and "Faith"  On the show, Michael spoke of his arrest, the public revelation of his homosexuality, and his resumption of public performances  He allowed Oprah's crew inside his home outside London  The fourth single taken off the album was "Flawless"  It was a dance hit in Europe as well as North America, reaching No  1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and becoming Michael's last No  1 single on the US Dance chart  Twenty Five is Michael's second greatest hits album, celebrating the 25th anniversary of his music career  Released in November 2006 by Sony BMG, it debuted at no  1 in the UK

Passage 2:
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 is a 1983 American action comedy film and a second and final sequel to Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and Smokey and the Bandit II (1980), starring Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Paul Williams, Pat McCormick, Mike Henry and Colleen Camp  The film also includes a cameo near the end by the original Bandit, Burt Reynolds 
With one of the main titular characters missing, the plot of the film revolves instead around Sheriff Buford T  Justice ("Smokey"), with the presence of the Bandit merely being suggested through him being impersonated by Cledus ("Snowman") 
The film received negative reviews and was a box office bomb 

Plot
Big Enos and Little Enos offer retiring Sheriff Buford T  Justice a wager, betting $250,000 against his badge on his ability to transport a large stuffed fish from Florida to Texas  Buford rejects the wager and retires, but goes through all sorts of mishaps before finally realizing retirement is not all it is cracked up to be and accepting the Enoses' wager  Buford picks up the fish and starts driving with his son, Junior 
The Enoses set many traps, but Buford dodges all of them, so they try to hire the Bandit to intercept him  Agreeing that the original Bandit is too hard to manage, they hire the Snowman to act as the Bandit  The new Snowman/Bandit parks his truck so he can drive a black and gold 1983 Pontiac Trans Am 
The Bandit picks up Dusty, who quits her job at a used car dealership  The Bandit catches up with Buford and steals the fish with Dusty's help  Buford pursues the Bandit, with another local officer who attempts to take charge of the situation  Both police cars are disabled in the chase 
Buford catches up after the Bandit and Dusty stop at a redneck bar to eat  The chase then creates mass chaos in a local town  The Bandit escapes when an 18-wheeler blocks the alleyway where the Bandit sped through  While trying to get the truck out, Buford's car is towed, but he reverses the car and escapes  The tow truck driver chases him, with Junior spinning on the hook  Buford makes the truck flip over, sending Junior flying through the air  Other cars crash into the pile-up 
Buford chases the Bandit in the Mississippi Fairgrounds  Buford's car is thrown up on two side wheels by an incline, but he continues the pursuit while driving on two wheels 
That night, the Bandit and Dusty stop at a hotel called the Come On Inn, where people are involved in an orgy  Buford sees the Bandit's Trans-Am parked there and searches for the fish, which he finds  Buford also thinks he finds the Bandit in the sauna, but it turns out to be a muscular woman who bonds with him 
The next day, one of Buford's tires are blown by the "Enos Devil Darts"  The Bandit retakes the fish  Buford pursues on the remaining three tires, first through a herd of cattle, then through parked boats, then a nudist camp, then through a field where the Enoses set off explosions, one of which destroys the car except the engine, seat, and lights, the latter of which Junior is holding above his head 
The Bandit intends to surrender the fish and let Buford win  As Buford collects his money, he sees the Snowman  Thinking he is dealing with the real Bandit, he resists "the Bandit's" (imagined as Burt Reynolds) attempts to sweet-talk him out of capturing him before Junior (in a voiceover) reminds him of what is in store for him if he retires  Buford and the Bandit both separately come to the same conclusion that they need each other in order to have meaning in their lives and the chase resumes, with Buford giving the Bandit a five-minute head start and with the muscular woman joining up with him  Junior is left behind and chases after Buford and the woman, dropping all the money in the process

Production
The film was originally entitled Smokey IS the Bandit, and did not include Jerry Reed in the cast   Contemporary newspapers refer to original plans to feature Gleason as both "Smokey" and "the Bandit", and Reed's name does not appear in early promotional materials or newspaper accounts during the film's production   According to some accounts, Jackie Gleason was to play two roles: Sheriff Buford T  Justice and a different "Bandit"  The original version was shot in October 1982  Reportedly test audiences reacted poorly, finding Gleason's two roles confusing, so the studio opted to do re-shoots in April 1983   The Bandit scenes were re-shot with Jerry Reed playing the role  Other accounts indicate that the title was more literal: that Gleason was to play only Sheriff Justice, but the character would also fill the role of "the Bandit", by taking the Enos family's challenge (as Reynolds' character had done in the previous two films)  In a teaser trailer for the film (billed as Smokey IS the Bandit), Gleason appears in character as Justice, explaining to the audience that to defeat the Bandit he would adopt the attributes of his prey, "becoming [my] own worst enemy"  A publicity still of Gleason apparently shows him in costume as the Bandit 

Soundtrack
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on vinyl and cassette tape by MCA Records in 1983 

Reception
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 received negative reviews by critics and the film was generally regarded as the weakest of the three Bandit films in terms of both storyline and revenue  On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 17% based on reviews from six critics Janet Maslin of The New York Times gave the film a negative review: "The already skimpy running time of Smokey and the Bandit, Part 3 is padded by an opening montage of earlier Smokey scenes, including shots of Burt Reynolds lounging in a zebra-print hammock  He is grinning, as well he might, because he has been able to sit out Part 3 altogether  What has he missed? An interminable car chase punctuated by dumb stunts and even dumber dialogue, plus the well-worth-missing sight of Paul Williams in a dress"  Variety magazine staff wrote: "The sense of fun in that original is missing and the countless smashups and near-misses are orchestrated randomly" 
Despite the enormous financial success of the original film (grossing over $300 million on a budget of less than $5 million), coupled with respectable (though significantly lower) numbers generated by the sequel, the third installment was both a critical and box office flop, grossing only $7 million against the film's $9 million production budget 
Passage 3:
Smokey Bites the Dust
Smokey Bites the Dust is a 1981 car chase film from New World Pictures directed by Charles B  Griffith   Despite the title, the film is not connected to the Smokey and the Bandit series 

Plot
The stock plot deals with Roscoe Wilton (Jimmy McNichol), a teenage joyriding car thief, evading Cyco County Sheriff Turner (Walter Barnes) and his unintelligent deputies 
Turner becomes even more obsessed with catching Roscoe after he kidnaps his overly-sheltered daughter, Peggy Sue (Janet Julian), just as she is about to be crowned Homecoming Queen during a football game at their high school   In so doing, Roscoe also makes himself a target of other characters, including his best friend Harold (John Blyth Barrymore), Peggy Sue's friend Cindy (Kari Lizer), and Kenny (William Forsythe), a sanctimonius quarterback who is deeply, but vainly, in love with Peggy Sue 
While Roscoe is being chased by Sheriff Turner, Turner himself incurs the wrath of neighboring Knotsie County Sheriff Sherm Bleed after commandeering one of Bleed's cruisers   Turner's pursuit of Roscoe (and Peggy Sue, who quickly begins to enjoy being in Roscoe's company) goes through two other neighboring counties, with Turner commandeering several other police cruisers and civilian cars only to wreck each one in spectacular fashion 

Subplots
Lester (Patrick Campbell), a local moonshiner is looking to sell his "secret formula" to an Arab oil sheik for "a million clams"; the deal falls through when it turns out the sheik brought actual clams instead of money 
Harold and Cindy share a car as they join in the chase; Harold to get his dad's car back from Roscoe, and Cindy to give Peggy Sue her crown   As the chase progresses, Harold and Cindy begin to fall for one another, similar to Roscoe and Peggy Sue 
At a nearby truck stop, a preteen girl is willing to let Roscoe and Peggy Sue steal her father's station wagon (with boat in tow) in exchange for a carton of cigarettes   The girl appears several times more throughout the film, including near the end when everyone converges on Snake Lake Beach in a chaotic free-for-all; watching from a distance, the girl muses, "What, I ask you, is the point in growing up?" 
Kenny's infatuation with Peggy Sue motivates him to chase the elusive couple on his own in an attempt to rescue her; he even goes so far as to run other police cruisers off the road just so he can save Peggy Sue himself   After the fight on the beach, Kenny is eventually "arrested" by the female sheriff of neighboring Belladonna County

Production
Though the majority of the cars used in filming had California licence plates, the exact location of the storyline was more ambiguous; film dialogue mentioned the boonies, which generally refers to the Appalachian region, and also mentioned running off to "east St  Louis or west to Colorado"   Near the end of the film, Roscoe suggests they hotwire a boat and take off for St  Louis or New Orleans, both of which are on the Mississippi River 
Charles B  Griffith had made a popular film for Roger Corman's New World Pictures called Eat My Dust! (1976)  Corman wanted Griffith to make a follow up called Car Wars using stunt footage from five old New World films  Griffith wrote a script which he later called Wham Bam, Merci, Madame, which he says Corman rejected  However a few years later he reactivated the project 

He called again and offered me a lot more money than he ever had before  I guess I got flattered, and I went ahead and did it  He had Max Apple in Texas go ahead and write a script around all the wrecks and chases  But Max wasn't allowed to see the footage  It was too expensive to rent a Movieola and send Max prints or anything else, so he had only vague descriptions written down on what the stunts were—and nothing worked  So I made a lot of changes in it, and that made Roger angry  He tried to cut it just to the action of the old pictures, but he couldn't, because he needed all the distribution rights  Then he cut all the motivations and all the character development  It was a mess, a jumbled mess!
Apple later described the experience: "They wanted four or five crashes, of which they already had the footage  It was more bricklaying than writing 
Passage 4:
Smokey and the Bandit
Smokey and the Bandit is a 1977 American action comedy film starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams and Mike Henry 
The directorial debut of stuntman Hal Needham, the film follows Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed), two bootleggers attempting to illegally transport 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta  While the Snowman drives the truck carrying the beer, the Bandit drives a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am to distract law enforcement (called blocking) and keep the attention off the Snowman  During their run, they are pursued by Texas county sheriff Buford T  Justice (Gleason) 
Smokey and the Bandit was the second-highest-grossing domestic film of 1977 in the United States 

Plot
Wealthy Texan Big Enos Burdette and his son Little Enos have sponsored a racer in Atlanta's Southern Classic and want to celebrate in style when he wins, so they are seeking a trucker willing to bootleg Coors Beer to Atlanta for their refreshment  They find local legend Bo "Bandit" Darville at a truck rodeo at Lakewood Fairgrounds and offer him $80,000 to haul 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana (the closest place it could be legally sold at that time) to Atlanta in 28 hours  The Bandit takes the bet on the risky and unprecedented task, and recruits his brother-in-law Cledus "Snowman" Snow to drive the truck, while Bandit drives a black Pontiac Trans Am bought in advance from the Burdettes as a "blocker" to divert attention away from the truck and its illegal cargo 
The pair arrive in Texarkana one hour early and load up the truck, but just as they head back, Carrie, a runaway bride, intercepts Bandit and jumps in his car, unwittingly making him an indirect target of Sheriff Buford T  Justice, a career Texas lawman whose witless son Junior was to have married Carrie  Buford, with Junior along, engages in a high-speed pursuit and doggedly chases Bandit all the way to Georgia to retrieve Carrie and arrest the Bandit, while various comical mishaps cause his cruiser to disintegrate on the way 
Bandit attracts more police attention across Dixie as Snowman barrels on toward Atlanta with the contraband beer, but they are helped en route by many colorful characters via CB radio  Neither Buford nor any other lawmen know of Snowman's illegal manifest, while Bandit is likewise unaware that Buford is chasing him because of Carrie, whose jumpiness inspires Bandit to give her the CB handle "Frog" 
Just after re-entering Georgia, Snowman is rescued by Bandit after being stopped by a Georgia State Patrol motorcycle trooper, as state and local police intensely pursue Bandit with roadblocks and a helicopter to track his movement  With four miles left, Bandit, discouraged by the unexpected mounting attention, is ready to give up, but Snowman, who initially thought they would fail, takes the lead and smashes through the roadblock at the fairgrounds' main entrance  They return with ten minutes remaining on their time limit, but instead of taking the payoff, Carrie and Bandit accept a double-or-nothing offer from Little Enos: a challenge to run up to Boston and bring back clam chowder in 18 hours  They quickly escape in one of Big Enos's 13 Cadillacs as police flood the racetrack 
After passing Buford's badly damaged cruiser on the roadside, Bandit gets on the CB and initially directs him to the Burdettes, but then respectfully gives his real location—right behind Buford, who continues his chase leaving Junior behind, and with more parts falling off his cruiser as he limps off after Bandit

Production
Development
Needham originally planned the film as a low-budget B movie with a production cost of $1 million, with Reed as the Bandit  Needham had great difficulty getting any studios or producers to take his project seriously, being better known in the film industry as a stuntman  He obtained the attention of studios and aimed the film at a more mainstream release after his friend Reynolds read the script and agreed to portray the Bandit, with Reed now portraying the Bandit's friend the Snowman  Reed would eventually play the Bandit in Smokey and the Bandit Part 3, in which Reynolds only appeared in a cameo near the end  At the time, Reynolds was the top box office star in the world 
In the original script, Carrie was called Kate while Big Enos and Little Enos were called Kyle and Dickey  The Bandit's car was a second-generation Trans Am and the prize for completing the run was a new truck rather than $80,000  Reynolds revealed in his autobiography that Needham had written the first draft script on legal pads  Upon showing it to his friend, Reynolds told Needham that it was the worst script he had ever read, but that he would still make the movie  Most of the dialogue was improvised on set Universal Studios bankrolled Smokey and the Bandit for $5 3 million, figuring it was a good risk  Just two days before production was to begin, Universal sent a "hatchet man" to Atlanta to inform Needham that the budget was being trimmed by $1 million  With Reynolds' salary at $1 million, Needham was left with only $3 3 million to make the film  Needham and assistant director David Hamburger spent 30 hours revising the shooting schedule "Buford T  Justice" was the name of a real Florida Highway Patrolman known to Reynolds' father, who was once Police Chief of Riviera Beach, Florida  His father was also the inspiration for the word "sumbitch" used in the film, a variation of the phrase "son-of-a-bitch" that, according to Reynolds, he uttered quite often  Gleason was given free rein to ad-lib dialogue and make suggestions  It was his idea to have Junior alongside him throughout the film  In particular, the scene where Sheriff Justice unknowingly encounters the Bandit in a roadside diner (a "choke and puke" in CB lingo) was not in the original story but was rather Gleason's idea

Personal life
Sexuality and relationships

"I never had a moral problem with being gay", Michael told her  "I thought I had fallen in love with a woman a couple of times  Then I fell in love with a man, and realised that none of those things had been love "In 2004, Michael said, "I used to sleep with women quite a lot in the Wham! days but never felt it could develop into a relationship because I knew that, emotionally, I was a gay man  I didn't want to commit to them but I was attracted to them  Then I became ashamed that I might be using them  I decided I had to stop, which I did when I began to worry about AIDS, which was becoming prevalent in Britain  Although I had always had safe sex, I didn't want to sleep with a woman without telling her I was bisexual  I felt that would be irresponsible  Basically, I didn't want to have that uncomfortable conversation that might ruin the moment, so I stopped sleeping with them " In the same interview, he added: "If I wasn't with Kenny [his boyfriend at the time], I would have sex with women, no question"  He said he believed that the formation of his sexuality was "a nurture thing, via the absence of my father who was always busy working  It meant I was exceptionally close to my mother", though he stated that "there are definitely those who have a predisposition to being gay in which the environment is irrelevant " In 2007, Michael said he had hidden his sexuality because of worries over what effect it might have on his mother  Two years later, he added: "My depression at the end of Wham! was because I was beginning to realise I was gay, not bisexual "During the late 1980s, Michael had a relationship with make-up artist Kathy Jeung, who was regarded for a time as his artistic "muse" and who appeared in the "I Want Your Sex" video  Michael later said that she had been his "only bona fide" girlfriend, and that she knew of his bisexuality  In 2016, Jeung reacted to Michael's death by calling him a "true friend" with whom she had spent "some of the best time of [her] life" In 1992, Michael established a relationship with Anselmo Feleppa, a Brazilian dress designer whom he had met at the Rock in Rio concert in 1991  Six months into their relationship, Feleppa discovered that he was HIV-positive  Michael later said: "It was terrifying news  I thought I could have the disease too  I couldn't go through it with my family because I didn't know how to share it with them – they didn't even know I was gay " In 1993, Feleppa died of an AIDS-related brain haemorrhage  Michael's single, "Jesus to a Child", is a tribute to Feleppa (Michael consistently dedicated it to him before performing it live), as is his album Older (1996)  In 2008, speaking about the loss of Feleppa, Michael said: "It was a terribly depressing time  It took about three years to grieve, then after that I lost my mother  I felt almost like I was cursed "In 1996, Michael entered into a long-term relationship with Kenny Goss, a former flight attendant, cheerleading coach, and sportswear executive from Dallas, Texas  They had a home in Dallas, a 16th-century house in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and an £8 million mansion in Highgate, North London  In late November 2005, it was reported that Michael and Goss planned to register their relationship as a civil partnership in the UK, but because of negative publicity and his upcoming tour, they postponed their plans  On 22 August 2011, the opening night of his Symphonica world tour, Michael announced that he and Goss had split two years earlier Michael's homosexuality became publicly known following his April 1998 arrest for public lewdness  In 2007, Michael said "that hiding his sexuality made him feel 'fraudulent', and his eventual outing, when he was arrested [   ] in 1998, was a subconsciously deliberate act "In 2012, Michael entered a relationship with Fadi Fawaz, a Lebanese-Australian celebrity hairstylist and freelance photographer based in London  It was Fawaz who found Michael's body on Christmas morning 2016

Context 3: 
The film's theme song, "East Bound and Down", was written virtually overnight by Reed  He gave Needham a preview of the song and, getting no reaction, offered to rewrite it  In response, Needham told Reed that he liked the song so much that if Reed changed even a word or a note, Needham would "choke him"  It would become one of Reed's biggest hits and his signature song The film features the custom clothing and costuming of Niver Western Wear of Fort Worth, Texas  Niver provided much of the western attire worn in the film, as well as the custom-made sheriff's uniforms (waist size 64") that Gleason wore throughout the film 
While made to take advantage of the ongoing 1970s CB radio fad, the film added to the craze  Though the film Moonrunners (1975) is the precursor to the television series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985), from the same creator and with many identical settings and concepts, the popularity of Smokey and the Bandit and similar films helped get the Dukes series on the air  Three actors from the main cast of The Dukes of Hazzard appear in small uncredited roles in Smokey and the Bandit: Ben Jones, John Schneider, and Sonny Shroyer (who played a police officer in both)  In return, Reynolds portrayed Boss Hogg (originally portrayed by Sorrell Booke) in the film adaptation The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)  Reynolds is referenced by name in several early episodes of the series 

Casting
Before Gleason was cast in the film, Richard Boone was originally considered for the role of Buford T  Justice  Sally Field only accepted the part after her agent advised her that she needed a big movie role on her résumé  Universal executives initially resisted casting Field, claiming she was not attractive enough, but Reynolds insisted on her involvement  Field enjoyed making the film, but remembers that virtually the entire project was improvised 

Filming
Principal photography of the film began on August 30, 1976  The movie was primarily filmed in Georgia, in the cities of McDonough, Jonesboro, and Lithonia  The scenes set in Texarkana were filmed in Jonesboro and the surrounding area and many of the chase scenes were filmed in the surrounding areas on Highway 54 between Fayetteville and Jonesboro for a majority of the driving scenes, Mundy's Mill Road, Main Street in Jonesboro, Georgia State Route 400, I-85 (Pleasant Hill exit) and in McDonough  However, the scene where they drive through the Shell gas station was filmed in Ojai, California, on the corner of Ojai Avenue and El Paseo Road  Much of the surrounding scene comes from that immediate vicinity  The scene featuring the racetrack was filmed at Lakewood Speedway at the old Lakewood Fairgrounds on Atlanta's south side  The roller coaster in the movie was the Greyhound  It had not been used for some time and was repainted for the film  It was destroyed in Smokey and the Bandit II and in a flashback scene in Part 3  The area around Helen, Georgia, was used for some locations  The scene where Sheriff Justice's car has the door knocked off by a passing semi-truck was shot on Georgia State Route 75, 3 miles (4 8 km) north of Helen  The tow truck driver was a local garage owner, Berlin Wike  Reynolds and Field began dating during the filming According to an interview with Susie McIver Ewing on The RetroZest Podcast, she was picked to play the role of Hot Pants Hilliard after the dailies footage (shot in the Atlanta area) of the original actress playing the role was inadvertently destroyed on its way from Atlanta to Los Angeles  The new Hot Pants scene had to quickly be refilmed as a part of a second unit in the San Fernando Valley and was shot at a drive-in restaurant near Hansen Dam named Baby Beef Burgers, which has since been demolished  This same restaurant was used for a scene in the 1983 Stephen King Movie Christine, which was ultimately cut in the final film (it can be viewed as a deleted scene on the DVD release of the film) 

Vehicles
Hal Needham saw an advertisement for the soon-to-be-released 1977 Pontiac Trans Am and knew right away that it would be the Bandit's car, or, as Needham referred to it, a character in the movie  He contacted Pontiac and an agreement was made that four 1977 Trans Ams and two Pontiac LeMans four-door sedans would be provided for the movie  The Trans Ams were actually 1976-model cars with 1977 front ends (from 1970 to 1976, both the Firebird/Trans Am and Chevrolet Camaro have two round headlights and in 1977, the Firebird/Trans Am was changed to four rectangular headlights, and the Camaro remained unchanged)  The decals were changed to 1977-style units, as evidenced by the engine size callouts on the hood scoop being in liters rather than cubic inches, as had been the case in 1976  The hood scoop on these cars says "6 6 LITRE", which, in 1977, would have denoted an Oldsmobile 403-equipped car or a non-W-72, 180 hp version of the 400 Pontiac engine 
The cars were 1976 models, the engines fitted to them were 455ci power plants, the last year these engines were offered for sale before withdrawal  All four of the cars were badly damaged during production, one of which was all but destroyed during the jump over the dismantled Mulberry bridge  The Trans Am used for said jump was equipped with a booster rocket, the same type that was used by Evel Knievel during his failed Snake River Canyon jump  Needham served as the driver for the stunt (in place of Reynolds), while Lada St  Edmund was in the same car (in place of Field)  By the film's ending, the final surviving Trans Am and LeMans were both barely running and the other cars had become parts donors to keep them running  This gives rise to various continuity errors with Justice's patrol car, which during some chase sequences is shown with a black rear fender, which then reverts to the car's bronze color again in later scenes  When it is finally torn off along with the car's roof in the impact with the girder, the missing fender still reappears later on in the film  The Burdettes' car is a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible painted in a "Candy Red" color scheme and is seen briefly at the beginning of the movie and in the final scene as the Bandit, the Snowman, Fred the dog, and Frog use it to make their escape  Three Kenworth W900A short-frame semi trucks, driven by Reed, were each equipped with 38-inch sleepers  Two units were 1974 models, as evidenced by standard silver Kenworth emblems on the truck grille, and one unit was a 1973 model, as evidenced by the gold-painted Kenworth emblem on the truck's grille, signifying Kenworth's 50 years in business  The paint code for each truck was coffee brown with gold trims and the 48-foot (15 m) mural trailer used was manufactured by Hobbs Trailers in Texas with a non-operational Thermo King Refrigeration unit  This is obvious, because there is no fuel tank on the underside of the trailer to power the refrigeration unit, and the unit is never heard running 

Legal status of Coors beer
In 1977, Coors was unavailable for sale east of Oklahoma  Its lack of additives and preservatives meant that Coors could spoil in one week without refrigeration, explaining the film's 28-hour deadline  A 1974 Time magazine article explains that Coors was so coveted for its lack of stabilizers and preservatives, and Coors Banquet Beer had a brief renaissance  Future President Gerald Ford, after a trip to Colorado, hid it in his luggage to take it back to Washington, D C  President Dwight D  Eisenhower had a steady supply airlifted by the Air Force to Washington  Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox would bring several cases after playing on the West Coast, by stashing them in the equipment trunks on the team's plane  Frederick Amon smuggled it from Colorado to North Carolina and sold it for four times the retail price Coors is still brewed just outside Denver, Colorado  It is now sold in all states as Coors ships it in refrigerated train cars and bottled locally and sold in different parts of the country including the eastern US states 

Soundtrack
The theme music "East Bound and Down" was sung and co-written by Reed (credited under his birth name, Jerry Hubbard) and Dick Feller  It became Reed's signature song and is on multiple albums, including Country Legends and his live album Jerry Reed "Live!" (Still)  In 1991, it was arranged for orchestra by Crafton Beck and recorded by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for their album Down on the Farm  Several other groups, such as the U S  rock band Tonic and U K -based country cover band We Be Ploughin' have also covered it  Reed also penned and performed the song for the opening credits, entitled "The Legend", which tells of some of the Bandit's escapades before the events of the film, and the ballad "The Bandit", which is in several versions in the movie and on the soundtrack  Bill Justis is the first name on the credits for the soundtrack, as he composed and arranged original music throughout the film  Musicians such as Beegie Adair and George Tidwell played on the soundtrack  Five-string banjo player Bobby Thompson is prominent toward the end of "East Bound and Down"  The soundtrack album was released in 1977 on vinyl, cassette, and 8-track through MCA Records

Reception
Box office
Smokey and the Bandit was a sleeper hit  It premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, where it performed badly  It then opened in just the South of the United States over the Memorial Day weekend and grossed $2,689,851 in 386 theaters  By the end of June, it had played in major Southern markets, including Charlotte, Atlanta, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Memphis, Dallas, and Oklahoma City, grossing $11 9 million  It opened in other Northern states at the end of July  With an original budget of $5 3 million (cut to $4 3 million two days before initial production), the film eventually grossed $126,737,428 in North America, making it the second-highest-grossing movie of 1977 (only Star Wars earned more, with $221 3 million)  The worldwide gross is estimated at over $300 million  Reynolds said in 2015 that he most enjoyed this film, and had the most fun making it, of his career 

Critical response
Critical reception was largely positive  On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 78% rating based on 32 reviews  The site's consensus states: "Not much in the head but plenty beneath the hood, Smokey and the Bandit is infectious fun with plenty of car wrecks to keep your eyes glued" Film critic Leonard Maltin gave the film a good rating (3 stars out of a possible 4) and characterized it as "about as subtle as The Three Stooges, but a classic compared to the sequels and countless rip-offs which followed"  In his review in the Chicago Tribune, Gene Siskel gave the film two stars and complained that the film failed to tell the audience when the clock started on the beer run, thus reducing suspense  He claimed that the Bandit is never made aware of Frog's leaving Junior at the altar, which is why the Bandit continually asks why a Texas sheriff is chasing him  The film's editors, Walter Hannemann and Angelo Ross, were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing 
Alfred Hitchcock claimed that the film was one of his favorites  Upon meeting Reynolds, Billy Bob Thornton told him that Americans from the region where the film is set consider the film to be less cinema and more documentary  Smokey and the Bandit was released in the United Kingdom on August 28 and was a success there, garnering positive reviews

Cultural impact
Pontiac Trans Am
After the debut of the film, the Pontiac Trans Am became wildly popular, with sales almost doubling within two years of the film's release  It outsold its Chevrolet Camaro counterpart for the first time  Reynolds was given the 1977 vehicle used during promotion of the film as a gift, though the car itself never actually appeared in the film  Because of the popularity of the film and the sales success of the Trans Am, the president of Pontiac Alex Mair promised to supply Reynolds with a Trans Am each year  Due to his financial difficulties in 2014, Reynolds put his vast collection of artwork and memorabilia up for auction, including the Trans Am  High estimates for the car were up to $80,000, but the actual sale price was $450,000  Also up for auction was a go-kart replica of the car, which sold for nearly $14,000  In 2015 a Florida-based automobile customization company built 77 Trans Ams modeled after the car that Reynolds drove in the film  These new models were built off the same Camaro platform, came with the Pontiac arrowhead, flaming bird, and Bandit logos, and the instrument panels, center consoles, and hood scoops emulating their 1977 counterparts, and were signed by Reynolds  Some differences included the use of a supercharged 454-CID (7 4-liter) Chevrolet-sourced engine that put out 840 HP, and four round headlights, which appeared on the 1967–69 Firebirds/Trans Ams only; the actual 1977–81 models had rectangular headlights 

Diablo sandwich
The "diablo sandwich" ordered by Sheriff Justice in the Arkansas barbecue restaurant scene has entered popular culture as a minor reference to the film  Though no authoritative source identifies the composition of the sandwich, there are several possibilities  A segment of the CMT program Reel Eats used a sloppy joe-style recipe consisting of seasoned ground beef, corn, and sour cream  Another proposal, based more closely on images from the film and the shooting location of the scene (at an Old Hickory House restaurant in Georgia), is pulled pork and hot sauce on a hamburger bun  Other sources in East Texas (from whence Sheriff Justice hails) are familiar with the popular regional delicacy known as the Diablo Sandwich  It consists of any of the various Louisiana-style hot sauces on Texas toast-style bread alongside the fourth most famous product of Pittsburg, Texas (behind Pilgrim's Pride, Cavender's, and Carroll Shelby)—Pittsburg Hot Links 

The Bandit Run
The first run in 2007 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the movie, The Bandit Run was the brainchild of Dave Hall, owner of Restore A Muscle Car  A group of Trans Am owners and fans of the movie take part in an annual road trip from Texarkana to Jonesboro, recreating the route taken by the characters in the film  The Bandit Run quickly became a fixture, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie with a special 2017 screening of the film attended by Reynolds and a recreation of the jump undertaken by the Bandit and Frog across a river 

Mobil 1 commercial
In 2014, petroleum company Mobil 1 produced television commercials, featuring then-NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, closely based on the film  Called Smoke is the Bandit and playing on Stewart's nickname, the commercials featured him as the Bandit opposite commentators Darrell Waltrip as the Snowman and Jeff Hammond as Buford T  Justice  The story replaced the Coors beer with Mobil 1 products  The advertisements lampoon the film and feature a Pontiac Trans Am and a cover version of the song East Bound and Down  The commercials were produced after Stewart mentioned that the movie was one of his favorites 

Television censorship and alternative versions
When Smokey and the Bandit first aired on American network television in the early 1980s, censors were faced with the challenge of toning down the raw language of the original film  For this purpose, they overdubbed dialogue deemed offensive, which was common practice  The most noted change made for network broadcast was the replacing of Buford's often-spoken phrase "sumbitch" (a contraction of "son of a bitch"; usually in reference to the Bandit) with the phrase "scum bum"  This phrase achieved a level of popularity with children and the 2007 Hot Wheels release of the 1970s Firebird Trans Am has "scum bum" emblazoned on its tail 
Except for Gleason, the original actors mostly redubbed their lines for the television version  Actor Henry Corden, who voiced Fred Flintstone after original performer Alan Reed died the same year the film was released, was used to replace a considerable amount of Sheriff Justice's dialogue  In the U K , the heavily dubbed version was shown for several years, particularly by the BBC  However, in more recent years, the original version has been shown (on ITV, a commercial channel), usually with the stronger language edited out, often quite awkwardly  The theatrical release has a few lines deleted, including an edit in which Sheriff Justice tells a state trooper to "fuck off" after the sheriff called his vehicle "a piece of crap"  His expletive is obscured when a passing big rig sounds its horn  At the time, using "fuck" would immediately require an R rating and this self-censorship allowed the film to avoid this rating and reach a much larger audience  However, the scene and the obscured expletive were played for comedy value and written as such, with the passing truck being the gag of the scene more than a way to avoid the censors 
In 2006, a DVD re-release was issued of Smokey and the Bandit featuring a digitally remastered audio track with 5 1 Dolby-compatible surround sound  Many of the film's original sounds were replaced  For instance, the diesel engine start and run-up sequence in the opening sequence of the film were completely dubbed over with a new sound  A few other examples of sound effect replacement occur when the Bandit takes off after getting the reluctant Cletus involved in the bet, the Bandit comes to a screeching halt on a roadway moments before picking up Carrie, and when Buford's car top comes off  Some of the original sound effects (such as Cletus's dog Fred barking) and music (such as the final chase to the Southern Classic) were removed and not replaced  Earlier DVD releases and the 40th Anniversary Blu-ray of the film have the original soundtrack intact  Major portions of the audio background have been modified with different engine sounds or tire squeals from the original film  The updated version of the film features sound inaccurate for what would be produced by the Trans Am or the numerous other Pontiac vehicles in the film  The original film had correct sounds that were usually recorded live as the action took place 

Sequels
The film was followed by two sequels: Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983)  The second film was a modest box office success, earning $66 1 million against a $17 million budget

Passage 5:
Smokey and the Bandit II
Smokey and the Bandit II is a 1980 American action comedy film directed by Hal Needham, and starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jerry Reed, Jackie Gleason and Dom DeLuise  The film is the sequel to the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit 
The film was originally released in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and several other, mainly Commonwealth, countries as Smokey and the Bandit Ride Again 
The plot centers on Bo "Bandit" Darville (Burt Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Jerry Reed), transporting an elephant to the GOP National Convention, with Sheriff Buford T  Justice (Jackie Gleason) once again in hot pursuit 

Plot
Big Enos Burdette is in a literal mudslinging campaign against John Conn for Governor of Texas  After failing to get the outgoing governor's endorsement, Big Enos overhears him on the phone ordering a crate in Miami to be delivered in nine days to the Republican National Convention in Dallas  Burdette schemes to earn the governor's endorsement and have the crate delivered to the convention in his name and tracks down Cledus "Snowman" Snow and offers him and Bo "Bandit" Darville $200,000 to do the run  Cledus takes the Burdettes to Bandit to make the offer in person, but Bandit has become a heavy drinker since breaking up with Carrie ("Frog") and is drunk when the Burdettes arrive and double the payoff to $400,000  Cledus accepts on Bandit's behalf, but adds that Big Enos should give them half in advance, to which they agree  Cledus is ecstatic, but Bandit begins to miss Carrie 
Cledus calls Carrie, who is back in Texarkana and again about to marry Junior when Cledus calls offering her $50,000 to help out; she agrees and again becomes a runaway bride  Though she still has feelings for Bandit, when Carrie arrives, she initially intones she is only in it for the money, and she and Cledus work on getting Bandit off the booze and back into shape  She then trades in Junior's car for a new Trans Am  The group arrive at the pier in Miami only to find out the manifest is quarantined for three weeks  They return later that night to steal it, only to find the "package" is a live elephant (the G O P  mascot) which Cledus names "Charlotte" after his aunt  When Bandit removes a splinter from Charlotte's foot, she takes a liking to him 
Soon after the trio start off for Dallas, they are accosted for the first of several times by Sheriff Justice, but Bandit outwits him and they escape  En route, they stop at a remote fuel station and notice something wrong with Charlotte  Moments later, an ambulance pulls in with an Italian gynecologist in the back; "Doc" is initially reluctant to help, but when his driver speeds off unknowingly leaving him stranded, he asks to hitch a ride with them, agreeing to watch Charlotte 
Doc later finds that Charlotte is pregnant and due to give birth any time, but Bandit is determined to stay on schedule, but Cledus and Frog refuse to they wanted to make Charlotte comfortable  Entering Louisiana, Doc says that Charlotte is almost in labor and needs to be off her feet  Cledus chooses they all need a break and they go to a nearby nightclub where Don Williams is headlining   When Carrie sees Bandit scribbling on a napkin a picture of Charlotte cradled by suspended netting to keep her off her feet, she angrily leaves, but not before telling Bandit that she will come back only when he likes himself again  Later that night, a drunken Bandit makes his drawing a reality, and Doc agrees that his idea will work 
Buford intends to call for help from his brothers Reggie, a Mountie Sergeant in Quebec, and Gaylord, an effeminate Texas State Patrolman  Later, as Bandit and Cledus enter Texas, Buford lures the Bandit into a trap: a mass of 40 Texas Patrol and Mountie cruisers pursuing him across a desert basin  Bandit orders Cledus to get to Dallas, but he enlists a large convoy of his trucker pals and comes to Bandit's rescue instead, wrecking nearly all of the cruisers in a giant demolition derby while Doc and Charlotte watch from the sidelines  The two escape by crossing a makeshift trailer bridge with Buford and his brothers in pursuit  Two of the trucks pull away, resulting in Gaylord and Reggie's cruisers crashing in the ensuing gap before they can cross, but Buford is still in pursuit, though his cruiser is barely functioning 
Cledus begs Bandit to stop at a safari reserve, where Charlotte finally gives birth to her baby  Bandit is ready to load them both back up in the truck, but Cledus refuses and then knocks Bandit down when he insults him and was fed with Bandit's selfishness  When he sees Charlotte in tears, Bandit finally comes to his senses and apologizes and realises that taking care of Charlotte and caring for others is more important than $400,000 
Bandit later finds Carrie and tells her that he likes himself now, and that he does not want to be without her  He then tells her that he has not yet taken Charlotte to Dallas, but they can still make it  Carrie is overjoyed when she sees Charlotte's baby, and Bandit asks Charlotte's permission for him and Carrie to get hitched, to which Charlotte trumpets her approval; Doc, now riding in the cab with Cledus and Fred, also voices his approval, and they all drive away with Charlotte and her baby in tow in circus carts on their way to Dallas, with Buford still in pursuit, now driving a Greyhound bus

Production
Smokey and the Bandit II was filmed simultaneously with The Cannonball Run, in which Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise also starred  Football players Joe Klecko and Terry Bradshaw also appear in both films 
It is the first film to feature director Hal Needham's "Blooper Reel Credit Crawl" at the end, in that a collection of bloopers and outtakes from the film showed on one side of the screen while the closing credits slowly scrolled up the other side  Cannonball Run, also directed by Needham, used this same technique 
Buford's brothers were both portrayed by Gleason; "Reggie" was a Canadian version of "Reginald Van Gleason III", a popular character from Gleason's television show 
The film was written and produced before it was announced that the 1980 Republican National Convention would be held in Detroit rather than Dallas 
Many of the movie's scenes take place in northern Palm Beach County, especially at Burt Reynolds' ranch in Jupiter, Florida 
Although the Bandit again sticks to a Pontiac Trans Am, this time a 1980 Turbo model with five color decals unlike 1981's single color decals, the Snowman switches to a 1980 GMC General, silver with blue trim with the same mural on the trailer as in the original film  This "new rig" suggests that the pair were successful in the "double or nothing" wager offered by the Burdettes at the end of the first film, where they were persuaded to drive from Atlanta to Boston and back in 18 hours to buy clam chowder and bring it to the Burdettes 
A world-record automobile jump was captured on film during the "roundup sequence", when stuntman Gary Davis jumped a 1974 Dodge Monaco over 150 feet  Davis suffered compressed vertebrae as a result of a hard landing 
The roundup sequence in the desert shows many new Pontiac Le Mans sedans decorated as police cars being destroyed  The cars were originally ordered by a car rental agency in Phoenix, who refused to accept the delivery when they discovered the cars were not equipped with air conditioning  Pontiac took the cars back and eventually gave them to the producers to be used in the film 

Soundtrack
Smokey and the Bandit 2: Original Soundtrack was released on vinyl, cassette tape and 8-track tape by MCA Records in 1980

Reception
Box office
Smokey and the Bandit II grossed $10,883,835 in its opening weekend, the second highest ever at the time, behind Star Trek: The Motion Picture  It also set a record for an opening week, with a gross of $18,108,031  It was the eighth-most-popular 1980 film at the United States and Canada box office earning $66,132,626  This box office income inspired a third film 

Critical response
The film received almost completely negative reviews from critics who felt that it suffered badly in comparison to the original  On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 29% based on reviews from seven critics  Roger Ebert gave it a one out of four stars and stated that there was "[in 1980] no need for this movie  That's true of most sequels, but it's especially true of Smokey and the Bandit II, which is basically just the original movie done again, not as well     how can I say it's lazy when it has 50 trucks doing stunts in it? Because it takes a lot less thought to fill up a movie with stunts than to create a comedy that's genuinely funny" Burt Reynolds later said that he did not enjoy working on the film at all, feeling that it was an unnecessary sequel put together by Universal purely for money-making reasons rather than to try making a good picture

The film was followed by another sequel three years later, Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983), in which Reynolds only made a brief cameo appearance, and Sally Field did not appear 
Passage 6:
The Nun and the Bandit
The Nun and the Bandit is an Australian film directed by Paul Cox 

Plot summary
In the 1940s, two outlaw brothers kidnap their wealthy 14-year-old second cousin, but things get complicated when her chaperoning nun refuses to abandon her charge 

Production
The film was made with finance from Film Victoria and the FFC  It was shot near Bacchus Marsh, Maldon in Victoria 

Release
According to Ozmovies: 

Roadshow was the nominal domestic distributor but refused to release it  The film went straight to video, though it had a small theatrical release in Canada thanks to Alliance 
The film was screened at the short-lived Halls Gap Film Festival in the Grampians on Sunday, 8 November 1992, with Cox present, though it had also had a "world premiere" at the Melbourne Film Festival earlier in the year Cox called the movie "minimal filmmaking":

It's the very first time I read a book that I wanted to film, because I normally don't believe the film has much to do with the novel  I wasn't at the screening at the Melbourne Film Festival but I never want to screen a film at a festival again  That screening actually killed the release  It got bad reviews in a few places, so Roadshow wouldn't even release it  I think that as an Australian bush film, it is a very, very original film, a highly original piece  The forest, the beauty of the land, that's the altar, and the sacrifice is the innocence and youth  You have a sacrifice on an altar  But it gave me enormous satisfaction because the finished film is very nicely tuned, minimal when you look at the way it's crafted    But that's not what the reviewers want, a bush film like this  That's not very Australian, is it?
Passage 7:
Hal Needham
Hal Brett Needham (March 6, 1931 – October 25, 2013) was an American stuntman, film director, actor, writer, and NASCAR team owner  He is best known for his frequent collaborations with actor Burt Reynolds, usually in films involving fast cars, such as Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Hooper (1978), The Cannonball Run (1981) and Stroker Ace (1983)  
In his later years, Needham moved out of stunt work, and focused his energy on the world land speed record project  In 2001, Needham received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Taurus World Stunt Awards, and in 2012, he was awarded a Governors Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 

Early years
Needham was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Edith May (née Robinson) and Howard Needham  He was the youngest of three children  Raised in Arkansas and Missouri, Needham served in the United States Army as a paratrooper during the Korean War, worked as a treetopper (an arborist who performs tree topping services),
and was a billboard model for Viceroy Cigarettes while beginning a career in Hollywood as a motion picture stuntman 

Career
Needham's first break was as the stunt double for actor Richard Boone on the popular TV western Have Gun, Will Travel   Needham trained under John Wayne's stunt double Chuck Roberson and quickly became one of the top stuntmen of the 1960s on such films as How the West Was Won, The Bridge at Remagen, McLintock!, The War Lord, and Little Big Man  He doubled regularly for Clint Walker and Burt Reynolds  He played a cowboy in an episode of the TV Western Gunsmoke (S8E36 - “The Odyssey of Jubal Tanner”)  Needham moved into stunt coordinating and directing second unit action, while designing and introducing air bags and other innovative equipment to the industry  Needham at one time lived in Reynolds' guesthouse for the better part of 12 years In 1971, he and fellow stuntmen Glenn Wilder and Ronnie Rondell formed Stunts Unlimited  Needham had written a screenplay titled Smokey and the Bandit and his friend Reynolds offered him the chance to direct  The film was a huge hit, and the two followed it with Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit II, The Cannonball Run, and Stroker Ace  Needham also directed the TV pilots Stunts Unlimited (1980) and Stockers (1981), neither of which was picked up as a series  His final theatrical release as director was the 1986 BMX film Rad 
In 1977, Gabriel Toys introduced the "Hal Needham Western Movie Stunt Set" complete with a cardboard old west saloon movie set, lights and props, a toy movie camera and a spring-launched Hal Needham action figure that would break through a balcony railing, land on breakaway table and chairs and crash through a window  They were only manufactured for a short time and have since become highly collectible 
Needham moved out of stunt work, focusing his energy on the World Land Speed Record project that eventually became the Budweiser Rocket, driven by stuntman Stan Barrett  The team failed to set an officially sanctioned World land speed record with the vehicle, and their claims to have broken the sound barrier in 1979 have been heavily disputed  In the 1980s, he and Reynolds co-owned the Mach 1 Racing team, which fielded the Skoal Bandit No  33 car in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series for Harry Gant  In 1986, Needham, alongside William L  Fredrick, was awarded a Scientific and Engineering Award for his efforts in developing the Shotmaker Elite camera car and crane In 2001, Needham received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Taurus World Stunt Awards  In 2012, he was awarded a Governors Award by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, where he was introduced by Quentin Tarantino Needham and his relationship with Reynolds inspired the Cliff Booth/Rick Dalton friendship in Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 

Rocket car
Needham was the owner of the Budweiser Rocket car, a vehicle intended to break the speed of sound on land 

Death
Needham died on October 25, 2013 in Los Angeles, California, aged 82, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer
