He had become a sought-after source for Texas history, anecdotes, cultural perspective, facts, humor, books, and politics. When the 1984 Republican National Convention was held in Dallas, <mask> granted sixty-three interviews about Texas topics to major media journalists.<mask>'s 1990 book, Taking Heart – which examines the experiences of the first patient in a new heart transplant center (himself) – made The New York Times Editors Choice list.

title: Bobby DeBarge

texts:
Robert Louis "<mask><mask>, Jr. (March 5, 1956 – August 16, 1995) was an American singer and musician. DeBarge was the lead singer of the Motown R&B/soul vocal group Switch and was noted for his falsetto vocals. Later on, he served as both mentor and a co-producer of his siblings' band, DeBarge, eventually joining them to fill in for departing members El and Bunny. Personal problems, including substance abuse which eventually led to drug trafficking charges in 1988, plagued DeBarge in later years, taking focus away from his musical career. He contracted HIV in the 1980s, and died of AIDS complications in 1995, at age 39. Life and career

Early life
DeBarge was born to Etterlene (née Abney) and Army soldier <mask>, Sr. in Detroit. He blamed an unhappy childhood on his father's abusiveness.At 15, <mask> was introduced to heroin, which became his lifelong addiction. After his parents separated and divorced in the early 1970s, <mask> and his family relocated to Grand Rapids. A talented instrumentalist and vocalist, he began playing in local bands, along with his younger brother Tommy. Music career

In 1975, after teaming up with fellow Grand Rapids musician Gregory Williams, the duo began a group with several other Midwestern musicians and successfully auditioned for Barry White's background group, White Heat, helping to produce and release their debut album that year. The following year, White dropped all but one musician from the band due to tax issues. The group – which consisted of <mask>, Williams, Phillip Ingram, <mask>, TC Brown, Stanley Brown, Jody Sims, Arnett Hayes, Adam Frye, Darnell Wyrick, MC Clark and Stanley Hood – then recorded an album in 1976 under the name Hot Ice, entitled Pall Mall Groove, which included <mask>'s incredible singing and piano performance on his composition, "Please Don't Let Me Go," released in 1977 on Polydor/Germany, in 1979 in the USA/Canada as SMASH on Source Records/MCA, and in 2005 on Burndsman Records worldwide. That year, <mask> returned to Grand

texts: Rapids, despondent that his career hadn't progressed; he ventured deeper into a heroin addiction.After the break up of White Heat, Gregory Williams remained in Akron, and sought out new musicians [including <mask>, Phillip Ingram, Jody Sims, Eddie Fluellen, MC Clark and Arnett Hayes] to start a new band. After completing a demo tape, he took it to Motown Records; the label wanted to sign the group, who were now calling themselves Switch, because of their ability to "switch" instruments. At Williams' invitation, <mask>, seeking a chance to find musical stardom, vowed to get clean from his heroin addiction. Motown soon signed the act, which now included <mask>'s brother Tommy. A year after their signing, the band released their debut album in 1978. The album, which featured production from Jermaine Jackson, reached gold status thanks to "There'll Never Be," which was solely written by DeBarge, and also featured a favorite ballad of theirs, "I Want to Be Closer", on which Phillip Ingram and DeBarge shared lead. The following year, the group hit gold again with Switch II, another Jermaine Jackson-produced album, which included another DeBarge-penned hit, "I Call Your Name."Switch became a recording and performing attraction, not only due to the band's overall musicianship but also due to DeBarge's multi-octave vocal range. In 1980, the group had their third gold-selling album, This Is My Dream, which was the group's first album to not include input from Jackson and which the band's founding members – DeBarge, Jody Sims and Gregory Williams – co-produced. The album included the hit "Love Over and Over Again." By then, DeBarge had returned to using heroin after several years of sobriety and also began using cocaine, which caused tension between DeBarge and Switch group members. Things came to a head in 1981 when, following the release of Switch's fifth album Switch V, <mask> suddenly left the group after Motown offered him a solo recording deal, later finalized in 1983. By then, <mask> was

 overseeing the production of his siblings' albums. <mask> co-produced their debut album, and co-wrote with younger brother El the song, "Queen of My Heart", in which he performed falsetto ad-libs near the end of the recording.The track later re-appeared on DeBarge's third album, In A Special Way, on which El himself produced, creating a more polished version. By 1987, perhaps taking their cue from <mask> splitting from his own group, El and their sister Bunny had left DeBarge to pursue solo careers, with El finding the most success. <mask> had troubles producing his solo debut, and his solo career failed to pick up, so he curtailed his aspirations and joined his siblings' group, forming a revamped DeBarge quartet that recorded the album, Bad Boys. <mask> and younger brother James split vocal leads on the project. However, <mask>'s career halted in 1988 after he was convicted on drug trafficking charges in Grand Rapids and was sentenced to five years in prison. Following his release, he returned to performing and recording, all the while struggling with AIDS, which he contracted sometime in the late 1980s prior to his prison sentence. He finished his last musical work, It's Not Over shortly before his death but was not alive when the album was distributed independently.Personal life
For several years, he pursued La Toya Jackson of the Jackson family. He mentioned Jackson's song "Night Time Lover" in the Switch ballad "You & I", a song he wrote in response to Jackson's single. By 1984, <mask> had split from Jackson and later married Teri, with whom he had two children, Christian and <mask>. <mask>'s heroin addiction started in the early 1970s and, later, DeBarge developed addictions to cocaine and crack. <mask> and former Switch bandmate Gregory Williams discussed <mask>'s bisexuality in Switch's episode of the Unsung series on TV One. Prison sentence, illness, and death
In 1988, he was sentenced to five years in a Wisconsin prison for drug trafficking charges. Following his release in

 1993, he vowed to stay clean, signing a management agreement with Bernd Lichters (for whom DeBarge, with Hot Ice, recorded the Pall Mall Groove album years earlier, as well as signing a management agreement as partnership with Ed Wright in 1985), who guided him during 1994 to record songs he wrote in prison.The resulting album, released in August 1995 on A&E Records just before his death, was entitled It's Not Over. Throughout that year, he was lying low in Gregory Williams' California home, before he returned to Michigan for his final days. While in prison, <mask> confided to his family that he had contracted HIV. When he became gravely ill, his family sent him to a hospice in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He died of AIDS complications there on August 16, 1995 at age 39. He is buried in Garfield Park Cemetery in Grand Rapids. In popular culture

title: Leo Gordon

texts:
<mask> (December 2, 1922 – December 26, 2000) was an American character actor and writer. During more than 40 years in film and television he was most frequently cast as a supporting actor playing brutish bad guys but occasionally played more sympathetic roles just as effectively. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Brooklyn in New York City on December 2, 1922. Reared by his father in dire poverty, <mask> grew up during the Great Depression. He left school in the eighth grade, went to work in construction and demolition, and then joined the New Deal agency, the Civilian Conservation Corps, in which he participated in various public works projects. After the United States entered World War II in 1941, <mask> enlisted in the U.S. Army, in which he served for two years and received an undesirable discharge. <mask> was in southern California where he and a cohort attempted to rob a bar and its patrons with a pistol.He was shot in the stomach by one of the officers making the arrest. Convicted of armed robbery, he served five years in San Quentin Prison, where he furthered his education by reading nearly every book in the library. <mask> took advantage of the benefits accorded him as part of the G.I. Bill and began taking acting lessons at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (ADA). During his time at the ADA, <mask> was enrolled with several future screen legends including Grace Kelly and Anne Bancroft. For a time, Jason Robards, later a two-time Academy Award winner, was <mask>'s instructor. It was there where he also met his future wife, Lynn Cartwright, who would have a sporadic but lengthy career as a character actor, mainly in television (though her most famous role came in the 1992 movie A League Of Their Own when she played Geena Davis's aging

 character "Dottie Hinson").They were married in 1950 and remained together until his death a half century later. They had one child, a daughter named Tara. Actor in film and television
<mask> started his career on the stage and worked with fellow actors Edward G. Robinson and Tyrone Power. He was soon discovered by a Hollywood agent in a Los Angeles production of Darkness at Noon. Over the course of his career <mask> would appear in more than 170 film and television productions from the early 1950s to the mid-1990s. In 1954 <mask> portrayed the outlaw Bill Doolin, a native Arkansan who founded the Wild Bunch gang and operated primarily in Kansas, on the syndicated television series Stories of the Century, starring and narrated by Jim Davis. In 1955 he was cast on the ABC religion anthology series Crossroads in the role of Sergeant Leroy in "All My Love".In 1958 he appeared as Joe Brock in the episode "Desert Fury" of CBS's Tales of the Texas Rangers. That same year <mask> was cast as Zip Wyatt in "Three Wanted Men" of Rex Allen's syndicated Western series Frontier Doctor. He also played a gunslinging professional killer in the pilot for the television version of Gunsmoke; but many changes were later instituted on the series, such as the marshal's office and Long Branch Saloon looking markedly different and the relationship between Matt Dillon and Kitty being subtly more formal as well, so the episode was buried deep in the season in the hope that viewers would not notice, which apparently worked. This pilot likely was S1E26's “Hack Prine”. <mask> was often cast to make the most of his  height, intense features, deep menacing voice, and icy stare. He had radiant light blue eyes. One of his earliest films was Riot in Cell Block 11, shot at Folsom

Other notable roles included that of John Dillinger in Siegel's Baby Face Nelson, opposite Mickey Rooney as the crazed protagonist. <mask> may be most noted for his recurring character Big Mike McComb on the ABC/Warner Brothers Western television series Maverick, working from 1957 to 1960 alongside James Garner and Jack Kelly. <mask>'s five appearances in the role include the much remembered episode "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres", "According to Hoyle", as well as "War of the Silver Kings", the first installment broadcast. Garner later recalled in his videotaped interview for the Archive of American Television that <mask> purposely punched him for real in one of their first scenes together and that Garner hit him back when filming the next scene. Garner and <mask> reunited in the 1970s when <mask> appeared as a dimwitted bodyguard on four episodes of NBC's The Rockford Files. <mask> appeared in multiple roles on Robert Stack's 1959 ABC crime drama The Untouchables.<mask> also guest-starred on the ABC/WB western series The Alaskans opposite Roger Moore. He was cast as Damian in the 1961 episode "Million Dollar Suit" of the ABC/WB crime drama The Roaring 20s. He also appeared on the NBC Western series Empire and Laredo. One of <mask>'s best-remembered television appearances on CBS's The Andy Griffith Show in the episode "High Noon in Mayberry", in which he portrays an ex-convict who appears destined for revenge against Sheriff Andy Taylor of fictitious Mayberry. The screenwriters for the episode, Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, borrowed heavily from <mask>'s brief criminal career and

There he played the condemned convict Joey Tassili in an episode titled "The Madman".Perhaps <mask>'s single most memorable film scene occurred in McLintock! (1963), during which John Wayne knocks him down a long mudslide after uttering the famous line "Somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't! I won't! The hell I won't." Another notable role was in the 1966 western The Night of the Grizzly opposite Clint Walker, one of the very few actors who could match <mask>'s intense screen presence regarding physical size and strength. <mask> played bounty hunter Cass Dowdy, who had a soft spot for his enemy's son but would, as one character said, "...hunt anything for a price, man or animal."Somehow, <mask> managed to make his character as sympathetic as he was frightening, and in his final scene he gives his life to save the boy. <mask> portrayed sympathetic parts when called upon to do so, including his performances in the Western Black Patch (1957), a film that he wrote, and in Roger Corman's civil rights drama The Intruder (1962), opposite a young William Shatner. In 1965, he was cast as the troublemaker Bender in the syndicated western series Death Valley Days in the episode "No Gun Behind His Badge", a dramatization of the Abilene, Kansas, marshal Thomas J. Smith, depicted in the segment by Ronald W. Reagan. The episode also starred Michael Witney as Wild Bill Hickok, who succeeded Smith as marshal. In 1970 <mask> appeared as Loma Bartender on The Men From Shiloh (rebranded name for The Virginian) on the episode titled "Hannah." <mask> also appeared as aging wrestler Milo

 Stavroupolis on NBC's Little House on the Prairie, starring Michael Landon. <mask>'s final role was as Wyatt Earp in a 1994 episode of the television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.He also appeared in the film Maverick that same year with Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner. Screenwriter and novelist
<mask> was also a prolific screenwriter and novelist. Usually credited as "<mask><mask>", he wrote dozens of scripts for television series and movies, sometimes writing a good role for himself. His first successful film script, The Cry Baby Killer, featured a young and unknown Jack Nicholson. Among the more notable feature films he wrote was You Can't Win 'Em All (1970) starring Tony Curtis and Charles Bronson. He also wrote the screenplay and appeared in Tobruk (1967), which starred Rock Hudson and George Peppard and was directed by Arthur Hiller. As a television screenwriter he wrote nearly 50 scripts apiece for Bonanza, Cheyenne and Maverick, in the episodes in which he was not a guest star.In the 1970s he appeared frequently as well on the popular police drama Adam-12, another show that he often scripted. <mask> once told an interviewer that because of his imposing size he never felt he was fully accepted as a screenwriter: "Writing is more rewarding than acting, but look at my face. Nobody believes I’m a writer. I should be 5' 8", 142 pounds, wear patches on my elbows and horn-rimmed glasses and smoke a pipe. That's a writer!" In addition to his script work for films and television <mask> wrote or co-wrote several novels, including the historical Western Powderkeg. Later life and personal life
In contrast to his screen persona <mask> was a quiet, thoughtful and intelligent man who generally avoided the Hollywood spotlight.He was

In accepting the award the actor simply flashed a smile for his fans and remarked, "Thank God for typecasting!" After struggling with a brief illness, <mask> died of cardiac failure in his sleep, aged 78, at his home in Los Angeles, California, on December 26, 2000.

When <mask> met her husband, it was expected that she would stop working to raise a family, however she decided to continue working. She was not ready for a family and decided to go on the pill, and to get a job. It was rare for a married women to have a job in that time period, but in 1960 <mask> began working for Irene Gilbert. Irene Gilbert was another leading Irish fashion designer, she is famous for her work and friendship with Grace Kelly. She designed multiple of Grace's outfits, which <mask> would have also worked on.She perfected the designing skills that she learned at Grafton Academy, for example, Draping. <mask> learned a lot about the fashion business from Gilbert.

She appeared on the show in 1992 to showcase her Autumn/Winter collection for that year. Clients
<mask> dressed everyone, from presidents to film stars.She spent a lot of her later life still designing and throughout the eighties, she began bringing her clothes to the rich women of America. She had a number of high profile customers which included Miranda Guinness, Terry Keane and Rosaleen Linehan. Her popularity grew in the US because of her custom fitted clothing and personal interest in all of her customers. <mask>'s most note worthy achievement was the dressing of Mary Robinson when she met Queen Elizabeth in London in 1993, and Pope John Paul in Rome in 1996. Another accolade was when she designed the dress that Marie Heaney wore when her husband Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995. <mask> received the Satzenbrau Designer of the Year award in 1990. By then, her clothes became more colourful, yet remained elegant.One of <mask>'s most well known Irish fashion icons was Miranda Iveagh, known to be one of Ireland's best dressed females. When asked about being dressed by <mask> she said she felt "frightfully happy" dressed in her designs. Iveagh also talked about how <mask> had a way at selling her designs by charming the husbands at spending more money than they anticipated on their wives. Later life and death

It was at this time that she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In an interview with The Independent, her daughter, Lisa, spoke about her experience with her mother and her Alzheimer's, looking back at one experience in particular, “..it was like she had disappeared. I brought her in to be diagnosed in November and she was kicking and screaming. I remember it so well, I had taken a half day off from work, she had been riding a horse that morning and she was totally compos mentis in her jodhpurs and riding boots and she said 'You are not going to put me into a loony bin!' She actually got her hand and slapped my arm.I knew that she understood what it would be like. I read her diary two days later and it said 'Lisa brought me to the doctor. I actually was quite glad. I was very frightened. 'It was frightening stuff for everyone concerned, and very emotional.” In her last few years she became difficult, refusing any help or care. She also became very anxious and agitated in situations. A year later, she decided to retire, closing her boutique in Molesworth Place.She then sold her 62-acre farm for €4.2 million, along with her horses, and moved to Sandymount, Dublin 4.

 of teaching in Berlin also marked the beginning of his first major creative phase which lasted until 1940. During these two decades, Zipperer produced a significant body of work. He traveled extensively throughout Germany and to various European countries in order to study and produce art works.His preferred technique at the time was drypoint etching and with this technique he became known both in and outside Germany. In Berlin, Zipperer developed friendships with the artists Heinrich Zille and Max Liebermann. He was particularly close to the sculptor August Gaul, in whose house he lived for almost one year in 1917. Gaul appreciated and sponsored <mask>. Through Gaul, a member of the Executive Committee of the Berlin Secession, Zipperer came into contact with Berlin arts world. In 1931, Zipperer bought Tannenburg Castle, a castle dating back to the Staufer period, with its farm estate near the village of Bühlertann in Ellwangen District (now Schwäbisch Hall District) in north-east Württemberg. He leased the associated farm estate and continued to work in Berlin.Tannenburg and Bühlertann, Württemberg

 left the castle to move to the home of his daughter Vera in Bühlertann. With the deterioration of his remaining eye’s sight, he had to give up his artistic work in 1972. He spent the last years of his life at the home of his daughter who had since moved to Flein near Heilbronn. <mask> <mask> died on May 26, 1982 at the age of 94 and was buried in Bühlertann. Work
The artistic work of <mask>er covers his early work until 1918, the creative phase in Berlin (1918-1940) and his late work (1950-1972).According to the current status, about 1,300 works have been documented. Early work (until 1917)
Already as a child and during his apprenticeship, <mask> showed a particular talent for drawing. During this period, many drawings and sketches evolved, but most of them are now lost. From the period of his artistic education in Hanover, Kassel and Munich, numerous studies on perspective and shadowing as well as technical drawings still exist. Under the influence of Prof. Heubach in Hanover Zipperer turned its attention to the drawing of architecture. At the same time he created landscapes, portraits, nudes, ornaments and still lifes, which he mainly executed as pencil drawings, rarely as watercolors. During his wartime deployment in Russia (1914 – 1915), his artistic talent expressed itself in a wide variety of ways.Due to a lack of photographic resources, he sketched military combats which were used in connection with strategic

 decisions. In the trenches, he sketched portraits of fellow soldiers and officers as a memento to be sent to their families. Two small drawings from this period are extant. His severe war injury was followed by a one-year convalescence period at the Eye Hospital in Stuttgart. After regaining the sight of his remaining eye, he produced many art works, while still in hospital. In numerous sketches and drawings, he focused on people who showed considerable signs of what they had gone through during the war. Some pictures of that time clearly show the influence of Heinrich Zille.Berlin Phase (1918 – 1940)

In 1919 <mask> discovered drypoint etching for himself. He drew and etched castles, city views, churches, landscapes, portraits, flowers and animals - mostly in small to medium format. The main topic in this phase was architecture. He found more than 40 motifs alone in his hometown of Ulm. On his numerous travels he made pencil drawings as preliminary studies for the later etchings. A total of more than 300 drypoint etchings were created, which were characterized by careful area division, well thought-out image composition and formal design ability. Added to this was the perspective effect of his pictures, which he succeeded convincingly despite one-eyed.Zipperer achieved an increase in spatiality and expression by drawing inspiration from Chiaroscuro. Also characteristic was the staffage found in many etchings, which

 <mask> became known in Europe and America - less by exhibitions than by the very successful distribution of his pictures by some art publishers and numerous art shops in Germany and abroad. In addition to pencil drawings and etchings, Zipperer began working with pastels in this phase, sometimes in larger formats. Also some sketches in different techniques, which served for demonstration purposes in the classroom, are preserved from this time. <mask>’s wife Elisabeth contributed considerably to his work since she kept him free from the burden of day-to-day activities. She handled business correspondence with the copperplate printers, art dealers and prospective buyers.Likewise, she helped to organize the countless visits of art lovers. Creative break (1941 – 1949)
During World War II and the immediately succeeding years, <mask>’s artistic activities almost came to a complete stop. The difficult conditions of everyday life at the castle left no scope for art. Late work (1950 – 1972)
After the turmoil of the war and the handover of Tannenburg to his son, <mask> was able to devote himself entirely to his art. He left the era of drypoint behind him and entered a new intense phase of artistic creation. The late work of the artist is characterized by experimentation and new ideas. For Zipperer, the movement runs along the art-historical development of his time from realistic-naturalistic to abstract-reductionist representation.At

Abstract depictions are again followed by a landscape or a bouquet of flowers. He is always looking for "ground under his feet," as he called it. It is a further thematic arc that spans the "complexity of its meaningful images". In many cases, these are already well-known motifs that recur again and again - often in a reduced form - trees in the landscape, a ravine and clouds above; especially the clouds occupied him throughout his life. In addition, there are themes such as peace and quiet, but also division and destruction, which he translates abstractly."Everything you can think of, you can also draw", the artist described his own spectrum in later years. Increasingly employed <mask>, who was influenced Protestant in the parental home, but in his old age increasingly took up Catholic thought, religious and biblical themes: The Psalms, the story of creation, Job and the Gospel of John. He also transformed the music of Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovsky into colors and forms. <mask>er found in pastel and oil pastels, but also in tempera and oil paint adequate materials to express his imagination and his mystical inwardness - sometimes cautious-mindful, then again powerful-dynamic.

It is a fine-printing process that transfers the original to a copper plate in a complex photo-chemical process. The heliogravure makes a very differentiated reproduction of halftones possible and thus creates a wealth of color power.The prints, also known as hand copper, met with great interest in the art trade and in the personal environment of the artist. They were affordable, allowing a wider audience access to this art. There is not a single self-portrait by <mask>.
