Question: When was the actor whose name inspired the name for the fictitious character Bertrand Newton born?
Context: Lawrence Columbus "Crash" Davis (July 14, 1919 – August 31, 2001) was an American professional baseball player whose name inspired that of the main character of the 1988 movie "Bull Durham".  Born in Canon, Georgia, and raised in Gastonia, North Carolina, Davis earned the nickname "Crash" at age 14 when he collided with a teammate when chasing down a fly ball.  Davis excelled as a middle infielder at Duke University, where he was the captain of the baseball team and a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity until he graduated in 1940. Saints Lucy and Geminian were venerated on 16 September as saints who died as martyrs in Rome during the persecution of Diocletian in about 290 or 300 or, more precisely, in 304.  Veneration for them was ancient but their story is “only known from fabulous acts.”  Lucy appears to be in reality the same as the Lucy of Syracuse whose feast is on 13 December, but the Geminian who was venerated on 16 September seems to be a fictitious character, not to be confused with Saint Geminianus, Bishop of Modena. Bertrand Newton is a fictitious character created by Australian comedian Charles Firth for his satirical book American Hoax, the name being a play on Australian television celebrity Bert Newton.  In this book Newton was described as the founder the fictitious American 527 Political Action Committee (PAC) "AdBack", and also author of an influential booklet on political advertising titled "How to Change the World One Ad at a Time" (2004). The Beckoning Silence is a 2007 British television film that follows and retraces the unsuccessful attempt to scale the north face of the Eiger led by Toni Kurz in 1936.  The film features climber Joe Simpson, whose book of the same name inspired the film. Trash Gordon is the name of a fictitious character on the long-running PBS children's television show "Sesame Street".  Played by Roscoe Orman, who also plays the character of Gordon on the show, Trash Gordon is a parody version of the science fiction hero Flash Gordon.  Trash Gordon also lends his name to a recurring segment on "Sesame Street", "The Adventures of Trash Gordon." Antony Rayns (born 1948) is a British writer, commentator, film festival programmer and screenwriter.  Much inspired in his youth by the films of Kenneth Anger, he wrote for the underground publication "Cinema Rising" (its name inspired by Anger's "Scorpio Rising") before contributing to the "Monthly Film Bulletin" from the December 1970 issue until its demise in 1991.  He has written for the British Film Institute's magazine "Sight & Sound" since the 1970s, and also contributed extensively to "Time Out" and to "Melody Maker" in the late 1970s. Irving Joshua Matrix — born (Japan, 1908) as Irving Joshua Bush and commonly known as Dr. (I. J.) Matrix — was a fictitious polymath scientist, scholar, cowboy, and entrepreneur who made extraordinary contributions to perpetual motion engineering, Biblical cryptography and numerology, pyramid power, pentagonal meditation, extra-sensory perception, psychic metallurgy, and a number of other topics.  He was an accomplished prestidigitator and an intuitive mathematician, two qualities which he put to good use in most of his enterprises.  Being a fictitious character he could perform tasks that were logically impossible; for example, he could "clap one hand in the air" when summoning a waiter or a minion. Madge Allsop (born Marjorie Kiri McWhirter) is a fictitious character invented by satirist Barry Humphries as the long-time companion (and former bridesmaid) of his most popular and enduring character, Dame Edna Everage.  First mentioned in Edna's monologues in the 1960s, Madge was subsequently depicted on stage, TV and film, over three decades, by several people.  The character was discontinued following the retirement of British actress Emily Perry, who played the role for over 15 years. Huracán Ramírez (Spanish for "Hurricane Ramirez") is a fictitious character, originally invented for the 1952 Mexican Lucha film of the same name.  After the movie opened in theaters Huracán Ramírez also became a professional wrestling character in the ring, primarily played by "luchador" Eduardo Bonada, who was soon after replaced in the mid-1950s by wrestler Daniel García Arteaga who wrestled under that name for more than thirty years.  The rights to the name and image of Huracán Ramírez were never owned by García, which has led to a number of other wrestlers using the name "Huracán Ramírez" after Garcia retired in 1988, or variations on the theme such as Huracán Ramírez II, Huracán Ramírez Jr., el Hijo de Huracán Ramírez ("Son of Huracán Ramírez") and so on, but all of whom had no atual family relationship to Daniel García. Albert Watson "Bert" Newton, AM, MBE (born 23 July 1938), is a retired media personality, who is a Logie Hall of Fame inductee and quadruple Gold Logie award winning entertainer and radio, theatre and television personality/presenter, Newton has hosted the Logie Awards ceremony on numerous occasions through his career.  He is known for his collaborations with Graham Kennedy and Don Lane.  He started in radio broadcasting, before becoming a star and fixture of Australian television since its inception in 1956, and is considered both an industry pioneer, icon and one of the longest-serving television performers in the world.  Newton is known for his association with both the Nine Network and Ten Network, in numerous shows including: "In Melbourne Tonight", "New Faces", "Good Morning Australia", "20 to 1" and "Bert's Family Feud".  Newton's wife is singer and television personality Patti McGrath Newton.  Their two children are Australian actor Matthew Newton and television personality Lauren Newton.
