African Census Analysis Project
<mask> has headed the African Census Analysis Project (ACAP), a project initiated by the United Nations to advance the process of census enumeration in Africa. Although census-taking eventually became routine, the preservation and analysis of the resultant data were not fully developed within African statistical offices. In recognition of the need to preserve African census data, to avoid perpetual loss due to poor storage, and to encourage and enhance further analysis, dissemination, and utilization of the massive census data, ACAP was undertaken as a joint initiative of the Population Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania and African governmental and research institutions. The goal was to promote collaboration among African governments and research institutions at archiving and analyzing African census data,

Biotechnology communication
 <mask> initiated several dialogues between scientists and ulama (Islamic scholars) to bridge the knowledge gap between the two groups. Despite being non-Muslim, she immensely contributed towards Muslim countries by creating awareness on agriculture biotechnology and food security. Her initiatives translate into the adoption of a resolution urging Muslim countries to adopt agriculture biotechnology. This is being used as a reference in Muslim countries. Arujanan introduced various non-traditional approaches to bring biotechnology to the public.One of it was through a fashion show. This was later adopted by her Kenyan counterpart. Arujanan also introduced a carnival concept to create

Dr. <mask> (1938 – 2017) was a research scientist in the US who attained honour in the 1980s, 1990s and in the 2000s as the President of Council of Khalistan, an organisation that supported the Khalistan Movement in Punjab region of India. Throughout those decades he was well known for his lobbying in the halls of the US Congress in Washington, DC. Early life, education and professional career
Dr<mask> was born in 1938 in district Lyallpur (today known as Faisalabad) in the pre-partition Punjab in the British India. His grandfather had moved the family to this region when it was master-planned and settled at the behest of the British Punjab government. His family village is Shahbazpur in District Amritsar near the town of Patti. As was often the case with the settlement of that region, most of his ancestral village established farming operations in the Lyallpur district and named their new village also Shahbazpur. It was in Chak 60, Jhang branch of the settlement.With the partition of Punjab that occurred upon India's freedom from the British rule in 1947, the Sikh families of Lyallpur region had to leave everything they had built with their toil and move across the India-Pakistan border to their ancestral villages. Dr. Aulakh studied at the Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa High School in the nearby village Sarhali Kalan. This was followed by a B.Sc. degree in Agricultural Science from Khalsa College in Amritsar in 1958. With this degree he secured a job with the Punjab Government as an agricultural inspector. In 1965 he emigrated to the U.K. Four years later he had an opportunity to come to the U.S. After acquiring an M.Sc. degree in genetics from North Carolina Central University, he studied at the Howard University in Washington D.C. and obtained a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics.Dr. Aulakh worked initially as a geneticist at the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Bethesda, MD, where he was a Senior Staff Fellow at the Bureau of Biologics as a special expert in the laboratory of Oral Medicine. Dr. Aulakh held further academic and research assignments, as a research

 own nation called Khalistan. An entity named World Sikh Organization (WSO) was created for this purpose. Dr. <mask> had no role in this outfit at the outset, but joined it later in 1984 to assist its general secretary: General J. S. Bhullar. Within four months Dr. Aulakh became convinced that this organization was not in the right hands and started his own efforts under the banner of International Sikh Organization. His efforts were almost entirely focused on lobbying the U.S. government and the media to pressure the Indian government to cease paramilitary operations in Punjab. In addition, to make matters worse, over three days in early November 1984, thousands of innocent Sikh men, women and children were killed in New Delhi and across northern India in the wake of Indira Gandhi's assassination by some Sikhs. The Indian government characterized this as spontaneous riots by Mrs. Gandhi's supporters, but the Sikhs and non-Sikh human rights organizations claimed that these were organized acts of pogroms against the Sikhs.Regardless, months had passed and the Indian government had taken no steps to identify the guilty parties and to bring them to justice. Lobbying in Washington D.C.

From 1985 onwards Dr. <mask> <mask> was an activist for the Khalistan cause and was able to receive occasional support from some politicians in the US and UK on this controversial topic. He had much greater success in bringing wide-ranging support to the plight of the Sikhs in India that suffered systematic, state-sponsored human rights abuses throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 2013 Dr. <mask>'s organization (ISO) published a two volume set that compiled all the U.S. Congress statements and other reference documents regarding the Sikhs' movement for political and human rights in India. This compilation runs 1,600 pages and covers the period of 1985-2007. A much-shortened list of US Congressmen quoted in this compilation follows:

 Rep. Dan Burton (R), Indiana. Rep. Vic Fazio (D), California.Rep. Gene Chappie (R), California. Sen. Jesse Helms (R), North Carolina. Rep. Robert Dornan (R),

Dana Rohrabacher (R), California. Edolphus Towns, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, from New York. He has been a supporter of Khalistan and Nagalim. Towns also wanted to "declare India a terrorist state" because of "the pattern of Indian terrorism against its minorities", an allegation that was summarily dismissed by the White House. Jesse Helms, former five-term Republican U.S.Senator from North Carolina. About two decades ago, he had circumvented the State Department's refusal of a visa to separatist Khalistan activist Jagjit <mask>an by inviting him to testify before a Senate agriculture committee he headed. Rep. Towns said in a Congressional Record statement that "the essence of democracy is the right of self-determination." Rep. Rohrabacher said in a statement, "For the people of Jammu and Punjab and Kashmir, India may as well be Nazi Germany." Thousands of Sikh-Americans throughout the United States worked locally with their representatives to raise the issues affecting their kin in India during these years. Many other organizations, including the WSO, were active as well in lobbying the politicians as well as bringing the facts to the media's attention throughout this period.However, Dr. <mask> was the lone representative of the Sikh-Americans in Washington DC from 1985 until the early 1990s - the peak years of the Khalistan movement in India. Legislative activities
Dr. <mask> and his supporters were successful in introducing anti-India legislations that opposed financial aid to India. They had several successes in the legislative branch, while the White House generally refrained from taking any concrete steps through four presidencies. In April 1987 the House Foreign Relations Committee reduced the monetary aid to India by $15M. In April 1988 the House passed a Sense of Congress resolution (HR 3199) titled "Human Rights of the Sikhs in the Punjab of India). In June

 1991 Rep. Dan Burton was instrumental in having passed an amendment (the "Burton Amendment") to the International Cooperation Act (HR 4653) that forced the President to report to the Congress that the Indian government was taking steps to alleviate the human rights abuses taking place in Kashmir, Punjab and other parts of India. In 1997, HR 182, the Human Rights in India Act, was sponsored by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) and Rep. Gary Condit (D-CA).to cut-off U.S. development aid to India until the president certifies to Congress that India has taken "certain steps to prevent human rights abuses" in India. Another resolution, H. Con. Res. 37, sponsored by Condit and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) called for an internationally supervised plebiscite in Punjab on the question of independence for the region. The act secured the support of only 82 members while 342 voted against it. Dr. <mask> was involved in these legislations. Opposition by India and Indian Groups

Starting in the late 1980s, especially after the House hearings related to HR 4653 in 1991, the Indian Embassy and the pro-India groups became much more active against the Sikhs' lobbying efforts in the US.This opposition had little effect as India, at the same time, kept stonewalling the international human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. It is interesting that coincidental with the U.S. Congress's legislative actions that became more assertive around this time, India finally started historic economic liberalization steps in 1991. This ultimately led to increased access to India by the human rights organizations; and subsequently the human right violation issues saw a substantial decline. Dr. Aulakh's all-too-evident zeal has often been the target of the Indian opponents. In one case, Dr. Aulakh faced accusations of obtaining signatures by deception in 2002 from US House Foreign Policy Aides when a publication on US Congress, The Hill stated that a legislative assistant to a Republican Congressman misled her office by implying to a staff member that the Congressman, John


title: Gurmit Singh Aulakh

texts:
 Shimkus, had agreed to sign a letter to the President calling for release of political prisoners in India. The Senior legislative assistant stated that Dr. Aulakh had already printed the letter with the name of the Congressman leaving a staff member to assume that the office had agreed to sign it. The same publication also quoted one aide with ties to the 131-member Congressional India Caucus as saying that Dr. Aulakh had been getting away with tricking staffers into signing letters for several years.Later Years
At the dawning of the 21st century, Dr. <mask> still remained steadfast in his aim, rhetoric and activities. He kept the office of the Council of Khalistan opened as long he was physically able. In 2012 Dr. <mask> was diagnosed with cancer. His activities declined after this time. He died on June 21, 2017, at his home in Washington, DC. He was survived by his wife Charnjit Kaur Sandhu and three adult children: Artinder Kaur <mask>, Urminder <mask> and Bikramjit <mask>h. On October 7, 2017, the thirtieth anniversary of Khalistan's declaration of independence, Dr.  Bakhshish <mask> of Philadelphia was named to succeed Dr. <mask> as President of the Council of Khalistan.Summary
Based on several interviews with Dr. <mask> over 2015-2017  (1984 Living History interview), he was driven by the principle of self-determination of the Sikhs in their ancestral land of Punjab. Having seen the trauma of the 1947 partition of Punjab at the age of 10, and then having seen Punjabi Sikhs' demands for greater economic and political freedom for the Punjab state as well as other states receive no consideration from the all-powerful central government of India, he became increasingly disenchanted. The military attack on the Golden Temple in 1984 was the last straw that caused him to give up a successful research position and devote the rest of his productive life to the cause of self-determination for the Sikhs.

<mask> (3 May 1819 – 7 July 1885) was an Italian composer and conductor active in Naples. He composed numerous operas, the most successful of which, Don Checco and Napoli di carnevale, were in the  Neapolitan opera buffa genre. His other works included sacred music and art songs. His songs were particularly popular, bringing him fame as a salon composer both in Italy and abroad. <mask> died in Bari, the city of his birth, at the age of 66. Life and career
<mask> was born in Bari to Angelantonio and Lucia (née Favia) <mask>. He initially trained to be a flautist, first in Bari with his elder brother Giuseppe and then with Errico Daniele.Daniele recognized his talent and persuaded <mask>'s father to enroll him at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in Naples. He passed the entrance examination at age 14 with sufficient merit to be awarded free tuition at the conservatory and continued his flute studies there with Pasquale Bongiorno. He also studied composition with Francesco Ruggi, Niccolò Zingarelli, and later with Gaetano Donizetti. According to contemporary accounts, he was one of Donizetti's favourite pupils. In 1839, while still a student, two of his compositions for soloists, chorus and orchestra were performed at the conservatory in honour of Count Wenzel Robert von Gallenberg who had died in March of that year. However, in 1841 he left San Pietro a Majella without completing his studies following a series of disputes with the Saverio Mercadante who succeeded Zingarelli as the conservatory's director in 1840. In 1842 <mask> made his debut as an opera composer with the premiere of his opera buffa, La casa di tre artisti, at the Teatro Nuovo.It was well received in Naples and replicated in Turin, Genoa and Milan in 1846 under the title L'arrivo del signor zio. While it

He produced 14 more operas between 1845 and 1882, most of which were in the opera buffa and opera semiseria genres and premiered in Naples. He also composed in the opera seria  genre, but they were not nearly as successful and considered "pale imitations" of Donizetti. <mask>'s masterpiece and one of the last great successes in the history of Neapolitan opera buffa was Don Checco. It had a run of 98 consecutive performances at the Teatro Nuovo where it premiered in 1850 and was regularly produced in numerous opera houses in Italy and abroad over the next 40 years. It was produced in Naples as late as 1902 and was revived in 2014 in a co-production by the Teatro San Carlo and the Festival della Valle d'Itria.In middle age, <mask> began an active conducting career. According to musicologist Andrea Lanza, as a conductor he was "particularly admired for the scrupulousness of his orchestral balance and ensemble." He was Chief Conductor at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples for several seasons between 1860 and 1876, conducting amongst other performances, the premiere of Mercadante's Virginia in 1866 and the posthumous premiere of Donizetti's Gabriella di Vergy in 1869. His other conducting posts included the 1867–68 season at La Fenice in Venice, the 1870–71 season at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo, and the 1873 season at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. <mask>'s biographer, Alfredo Giovine, wrote that during this period he suffered two painful setbacks. He lost most of his savings when several Neapolitan

He returned home to find that his maid had sold the scores for a pittance to the proprietor of a local delicatessen who used them for wrapping food.According to Giovine, <mask> eventually  replaced his lost savings with the money he earned from his successful conducting career. Despite his concentration on conducting after 1860, <mask> continued to compose operas, although several of them were revisions of earlier works. The most successful of these later works was Napoli di carnovale. The project was a protest against the "invasion" of Neapolitan opera stages by French operetta at the expense of the city's native musical culture. Set in a working-class neighbourhood of Naples at Carnival time, it recounts the ultimately successful campaign by Temostocle, nephew of the wealthy and pretentious Don Gasperone, to marry the daughter of a shoemaker. Napoli di carnovale premiered to great success at the Teatro Nuovo in 1876. It ran for 85 performances there and was subsequently performed in multiple Italian and foreign theatres over the next ten years.During this time <mask> was also active as a teacher at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella and in organizations dedicated to the encouragement of young musicians and composers. <mask> spent his last years in Bari under the care of his doctors and relatives. By June 1884 he was reported to be suffering from insanity and severe physical debilitation. He no longer recognized the friends who came to visit him and frequently invoked his old teacher, murmuring "Donizetti!... student of Donizetti... I die looking up to the sky!". He died in July 1885 at the age of 66 and was buried in the city's Cimitero Chiesa Madre.The

title: Connie Marrero

<mask> (April 25, 1911 – April 23, 2014), nicknamed "<mask>", was a Cuban professional baseball pitcher. The right-handed Marrero pitched in Major League Baseball from  to  for the Washington Senators. Marrero made his major league debut when he was 38 years old, and was one of the oldest players in the league throughout the duration of his time in the major leagues. He was a popular star in his native Cuba, where he had a long and successful career in amateur baseball, pitching for Cuba in several Amateur World Series competitions, and playing several excellent seasons with the professional Cuban League and the minor league Havana Cubans. His nicknames in Cuba were "El Guajiro de Laberinto" (The Peasant from Laberinto), reflecting his rural origins, "El Premier", and "El Curvo." Marrero's pitches were primarily "slow stuff—curves, sliders and knucklers." Roberto González Echevarría provides the following description: "A bit plump, of less than average height [he was listed as  tall and ], with short arms and small hands, Marrero looked, in uniform, like someone in a baseball costume, not a player.He looked more like a Spanish grocer or peasant than an athlete." At age 102, <mask> was the oldest living former Major League Baseball player at the time of his death. Cuban career

Amateur play
<mask> was born on a farm called El Laberinto in the district of Sagua la Grande, Cuba; he was of Canary Islands descent. He played for various teams in his rural region, then in 1938 at age 26 or 27 was invited to pitch for the Cienfuegos team of the Cuban Amateur League. The league played on Sundays from March through September. The team was sponsored by a department store, which employed him during the week. Marrero was one of the most popular and successful pitchers in Cuban Amateur League

From 1939 to 1943, Cuba hosted the second through sixth Amateur World Series competitions at La Tropical Stadium in Havana. <mask> was a pitcher for the Cuban national team at the second Amateur World Series in 1939, the first in which Cuba competed. Only three teams competed and Cuba easily won, with <mask> contributing a victory in the only game he pitched. In the third Amateur World Series in 1940, <mask> led the Cuban team to victory, going 3–2 with a 1.15 earned run average (ERA), and was named the most valuable player of the series. In the fourth Amateur World Series in 1941, Marrero won three games, but the series ended in a tie between Cuba and the Venezuela team. Venezuela was relying on the pitching of Daniel Canónico, who went 4–0 with an ERA of 1.69 in 32 innings.Cuba challenged Venezuela to a playoff game, which was scheduled to allow Canónico time to rest. On October 23, 1941 <mask> faced Canónico for the championship. Venezuela, helped by an error by the Cuban third baseman, scored 3 runs in the bottom of the first inning; Marrero was pulled after 2 innings, and Canónico held the Cubans scoreless until the ninth inning. Venezuela held on to win the game 3–1, winning their first Amateur World Series. In 1942, Marrero had his best amateur season, going 22–5 with a 1.22 ERA. For the fifth Amateur World Series, the Cuban national team was selected by a fan poll, and Marrero was the top vote-getter. The series featured a rematch between Marrero and Venezuela's Canónico.This time the Cubans won 8–0, and the Cuban team regained the Cup. In 1943 <mask> was suspended from the Amateur League for six

In 1944. he returned with a 21–8 season and was again selected for the Amateur World Series team. The series was played in Caracas, Venezuela and ended in controversy. There was a three-way tie among Mexico, Venezuela, and Cuba, forcing a playoff. However, after some questionable calls by the umpires, who were provided by Venezuela, Cuba withdrew from the tournament in protest. In 1945.Marrero again pitched for Cienfuegos in the Amateur League. He was caught pitching in a non-league game a second time and given an indefinite suspension. He then decided to turn professional. Cuban (Winter) League

Although he played only a minor role—pitching in four games and going 1–0—he participated on the winning team of one of the most famous pennant races in Cuban League history.In the spring of 1947, <mask>, as part of a Cuban all-star team, had a chance to pitch against major league teams that were playing in Havana during spring training. He beat the New York Yankees in a rain-shortened 7-inning game, allowing one run and four hits.

<mask>’s research is focused on 19th and 20th century European philosophy.He also works and teaches in aesthetics, phenomenology, Nietzsche, Kant, Spinoza, Bergson, social and political philosophy, and the philosophy of technology. <mask> is best known for his work on the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. His thesis was focused on Deleuze’s philosophy, and he translated two of Deleuze’s books into English: Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation and Essays Critical and Clinical. Deleuze’s work touched on most domains of philosophy, and <mask>’s published papers have analyzed many of them. In epistemology, he has explored the implications of Deleuze’s definition of philosophy as the creation of concepts. In metaphysics, he has explicated Deleuze’s well-known concepts of the simulacrum, the virtual, and univocity. In aesthetics, he has written on the "logic of sensation" that Deleuze developed in his writings on painting, cinema, and literature.In ethics, he has shown how Deleuze derived an "ethics of immanence" from the works of Nietzsche, Leibniz, and Spinoza. <mask> explored Deleuze’s relationship with this contemporaries, analyzing the different concepts of resistance developed by Deleuze and Foucault; Deleuze and Badiou’s different notions of multiplicity; and the ways in which Deleuze and Derrida respectively represented the two traditions of immanence and transcendence in French philosophy. <mask> has also published studies of lesser-known French thinkers who influenced Deleuze, such as Raymond Ruyer, André Leroi-Gourhan, and Pierre Klossowski, as

<mask>ze was published in 2012 and was called a "a milestone in Deleuze studies." Keith Ansell-Pearson called it a "delightfully rich volume of essays: the essays are uniformly excellent," adding that "no one, at least in the English-speaking world, has done more to illuminate Deleuze's philosophical inventiveness than <mask>," although he suggested that <mask> did not "adequately explore" the connection of "Nietzsche's Nachlass remark on overturning Platonism" with "Deleuze's emphasis on the problem of simulacra." Kenneth Noe from Southern Illinois University stated that, "<mask><mask>’s work on the great French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) is owed a debt by English-speaking readers of Deleuze that is difficult to overstate." He noted that the book "records <mask>’s significant contribution to Deleuze studies while also laying foundations for new avenues of research."The Deleuze Seminars
<mask> is the founder and co-director, with Charles J. Stivale, of an online digital humanities project, The Deleuze Seminars, whose aim is to translate into English the seminar lectures that Deleuze gave at the University of Paris 8 at Vincennes/St. Denis between 1971 and 1987, and to make them available at the project’s website.

title: James Henderson-Stewart

texts:
<mask>-Stewart, 1st Baronet (6 December 1897 – 3 September 1961), born <mask>, was a British banker, Army officer and politician. He was a National Liberal Member of Parliament for East Fife from 1933 until his death, and was the sessional chairman of the Parliamentary Party in 1945. He played an important role in negotiating the unity of the National Liberals with the Conservatives, but was unable to persuade the Liberal Party to join as well. Early life
Henderson-Stewart was born at Crieff, Perthshire, the son of Matthew Stewart. He attended Morrison's Academy in the town, interrupting his education to join the Royal Artillery and serve in the First World War. Promoted to Acting Captain in February 1918, he was wounded in action. He left the Army in 1919, placed as a Captain on the Reserve of Officers, and went to the University of Edinburgh where he obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1922 and a Master of Arts degree in economics in 1923.He was in the Territorial Army from 1921 to 1925. Liberal Party candidacies
At the 1923 general election Stewart was Liberal Party candidate for Leicester East, but finished in third place with only 27% of the vote. In the 1924 general election he fought Derby as the sole Liberal candidate, opposing J. H. Thomas who was a senior Labour Minister. His task was reckoned "a difficult one" and he again finished bottom of the poll. During the 1920s Henderson-Stewart worked at the British Overseas Bank in London. His political activity occurred through the Land and Nation League, a Liberal body which had been set up to promote the land policy which was being promoted by David Lloyd George. By 1929 he was Secretary of the League, and he was selected as the Liberal candidate for Dundee.Like Derby this was a two-member constituency but unlike Derby the Conservatives nominated only one candidate, and it was recognised

 that Liberal and Conservative voters (each of whom had two votes) would use their second vote for the other party's candidate. Henderson-Stewart finished as runner-up, some 13,712 votes from winning a seat but having put in a creditable performance. East Fife election
In January 1933, Henderson-Stewart was adopted as Liberal National candidate for East Fife, where the death of the sitting Member of Parliament Sir <mask> Millar had precipitated a by-election. He obtained the support of the Unionists, although he faced opposition not only from the Labour Party and the Scottish National Party but also the Agricultural Party (whose candidate proclaimed himself a Conservative) and an unofficial Liberal who supported free trade. Lord Snowden, the former Labour Chancellor, sent a message of support to the unofficial Liberal, which Henderson-Stewart described as "little more than an ill-natured outburst",

Member of Parliament
Henderson-Stewart won with a comfortable majority of 9,135, and in his victory speech attacked the "wrecking tactics" of the Agricultural and unofficial Liberal candidates. He gained a reputation for diligent constituency work, among the farmers and fishermen of Fife, and soon after his election opposed a reduction in the grant to the Forestry Commission which he considered a false economy. He often spoke on economic questions.On foreign affairs, he spoke in 1934 in favour of the United Kingdom staying out of any conflict between France and Germany; that July he stated that the innermost chamber of world peace lay in Anglo-American friendship. Foreign affairs
In the summer of 1935, Henderson-Stewart went on a tour of European horse markets, and on his return wrote a pamphlet entitled "Stop the Export of Butchery Horses" which called for a legal ban on the export trade. In July 1938, Henderson-Stewart was vice-chairman of the Empire

Protective of her private life, she rarely gives interviews and makes very few public appearances. After romantic relationships with Jerry Schatzberg and Marcello Mastroianni, Dunaway married twice, first to singer Peter Wolf and then to photographer Terry O'Neill, with whom she had a son, Liam. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Bascom, Florida, the daughter of Grace April (née Smith), a housewife, and John MacDowell <mask> Jr., a career non-commissioned officer in the United States Army. She is of Ulster Scottish, English, and German descent. She spent her childhood traveling throughout the United States and Europe.Dunaway took dance classes, tap, piano and singing, graduated from Leon High School in Tallahassee, Florida, and then studied at Florida State University and the University of Florida, and graduated from Boston University with a degree in theatre. She spent the summer before her senior year in a summer stock company at Harvard's Loeb Drama Center, where one of her co-players was Jane Alexander, the actress and future head of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1962, at the age of 21, she took acting classes at the American National Theater and Academy. She was spotted by Lloyd Richards while performing in a production of The Crucible, and was recommended to director Elia Kazan, who was in search of young talent for his Lincoln Center Repertory Company. She also studied acting at HB Studio in New York City. Shortly after graduating from Boston University, Dunaway was appearing on Broadway as a replacement in Robert Bolt's drama A Man for All Seasons. She subsequently

 appeared in Arthur Miller's After the Fall and the award-winning Hogan's Goat by Harvard professor William Alfred, who became her mentor and spiritual advisor.In her 1995 autobiography, <mask> said of him:  "With the exception of my mother, my brother, and my beloved son, Bill Alfred has been without question the most important single figure in my lifetime. A teacher, a mentor, and I suppose the father I never had, the parent and companion I would always have wanted, if that choice had been mine. He has taught me so much about the virtue of a simple life, about spirituality, about the purity of real beauty, and how to go at this messy business of life." Career

Early films and breakthrough, 1967–1968
<mask>'s first screen role was in the comedy crime film The Happening (1967), which starred Anthony Quinn. Her performance earned her good notices from critics; however, Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times panned the performance saying that she "exhibits a real neat trick of resting her cheek on the back of her hand." That same year, she had a supporting role in Otto Preminger's drama Hurry Sundown, opposite Michael Caine and Jane Fonda. Filming proved to be difficult for Dunaway as she clashed with Preminger, who she felt didn't know "anything at all about the process of acting."She later described this experience as a "psychodrama that left me feeling damaged at the end of each day." <mask> had signed a six-picture deal with Preminger but decided during the filming to get her contract back. "As much as it cost me to get out of the deal with Otto, if I'd had to do those movies with him, then I wouldn't have done Bonnie and Clyde, or The Thomas Crown Affair, or any of the movies I was suddenly in a

It's impossible to assess the damage that might have done to me that early on in my career." Preminger's film did not meet critical or box-office success, but <mask> retained notice enough to earn a Golden Globe Award nomination for New Star of the Year. <mask> had tried to get an interview with director Arthur Penn when he was directing The Chase (1966) but was rebuffed by a casting director who did not think that she had the right face for the movies.When Penn saw her scenes from The Happening before its release, he decided to let her read for the role of the bank robber Bonnie Parker for his upcoming film, Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Casting for the role of Bonnie had proved to be difficult and many actresses had been considered for the role, including Jane Fonda, Tuesday Weld, Ann-Margret, Carol Lynley, Leslie Caron, and Natalie Wood. Penn loved Dunaway and managed to convince actor and producer Warren Beatty, who played Clyde Barrow in the film, that she was right for the part. Besides Dunaway's being a comparative unknown, Beatty's concern was her "extraordinary bone structure," which he thought might be inappropriate for Bonnie Parker, a local girl trying to look innocent while she held up smalltown Texas banks. However, he changed his mind after seeing some photographs of Dunaway taken by Curtis Hanson on the beach: "She could hit the ball across the net, and she had an intelligence and a strength that made her both powerful and romantic." Dunaway only had a few weeks to prepare for the role and, when she was asked to lose weight to

The film was controversial on its original release for its supposed glorification of murderers and for its level of graphic violence, which was unprecedented at the time.It performed well at the box office and elevated <mask> to stardom. Roger Ebert gave the film a rave review and wrote, "The performances throughout are flawless. Warren Beatty and <mask>, in the title roles, surpass anything they have done on the screen before, and establish themselves (somewhat to my surprise) as major actors." The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and <mask> received her first nomination for Best Actress. Her performance earned her a BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer and a David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress, and she was now among the most bankable actresses in Hollywood, as she later recalled. "It put me firmly in the ranks of actresses that would do work that was art. There are those who elevate the craft of acting to the art of acting, and now I would be among them.I was the golden girl at that time. One of those women who was going to be nominated year after year for an Oscar and would win at least one. The movie established the quality of my work. Bonnie and Clyde would also turn me into a star." <mask> followed the success with another hit, The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), in which she played Vicki Anderson, an insurance investigator who becomes involved with Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen), a millionaire who attempts to pull off the perfect crime. Norman Jewison hired <mask> after he saw scenes from Bonnie and Clyde before its release. As  Arthur Penn had needed

 to persuade Warren Beatty to cast <mask>,  Jewison had to convince McQueen that she was right for the part.The film emphasized <mask>'s sensuality and elegance with a character who has remained an influential style icon. The role required over 29 costume changes and was a complex one to play. "Vicki's dilemma was, at the time, a newly emerging phenomenon for women: How does one do all of this in a man's world and not sacrifice one's emotional and personal life in the process?" Despite his original reluctance to work with her, McQueen later called <mask> the best actress he ever worked with. <mask> was also very fond of McQueen. "It was really my first time to play opposite someone who was a great big old movie star, and that's exactly what Steve was. He was one of the best-loved actors around, one whose talent more than equaled his sizable commercial appeal."The film was immensely popular and was famed for a scene where <mask> and McQueen play a chess game and silently engage in a seduction of each other across the board. Career setbacks, 1969–1973

Following the completion of The Thomas Crown Affair, <mask> leapfrogged France's new wave directors to begin filming in Italy Vittorio de Sica's romantic drama, A Place for Lovers (1968). This film was with Marcello Mastroianni, where she played a terminally ill American fashion designer in Venice who has a whirlwind affair with a race car driver. Although <mask> had always wanted to avoid romances with her co-stars, she began a love affair with Mastroianni that lasted for two years. The film was an artistic disappointment and a commercial failure. In 1969, <mask> appeared in The Arrangement, a drama directed by Elia Kazan, based upon his novel of the

The film did poorly at the box office, receiving mostly negative reviews, although <mask> was praised, with Roger Ebert writing that her acting "is not only the equal of in Bonnie and Clyde, but is, indeed, the only good acting she has done since".Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that she was "looking so cool and elegant that the sight of her almost pinches the optic nerves". Also in 1969, The Extraordinary Seaman, a comedy adventure directed by John Frankenheimer and also starring David Niven that she shot right after Bonnie and Clyde, was released to poor reviews and proved to be a commercial failure. Despite protests from her agent, Dunaway turned down many high-profile projects in order to spend time with Mastroianni. In 1969, Dunaway took a supporting role as a favor to Arthur Penn in his western, Little Big Man. In a rare comic role, Dunaway played the sexually repressed wife of a minister who helps raise and seduce a boy raised by Native Americans, played by Dustin Hoffman. The film was widely praised by critics and was one of Dunaway's few commercial successes at this point. That same year, she appeared in the lead role in Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970), an experimental drama directed by Jerry Schatzberg and inspired by the life of model Anne St. Marie.The film failed to generate commercial interest, though it earned for <mask> a second Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama. The film remained in obscurity over 40 years, until it was revived at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in honor of <mask>.

During the filming, <mask> realized how much she had missed working. That same year, she went on to make the French thriller The Deadly Trap with her Lincoln Center compatriot Frank Langella, not with a director from the already crested New Wave (Jean-Luc Godard had originally made contributions to the first script of Bonnie and Clyde), but with the French postwar director held in the widest respect, René Clément. Only five months after the first day of shooting, the film was screened at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition.Neither Doc nor The Deadly Trap had generated much attention, either critically or financially, so <mask> accepted an offer to star in a movie for television, The Woman I Love (1972), in which she portrayed Wallis Simpson. She returned to film in 1973 with Stanley Kramer's drama, Oklahoma Crude, opposite George C. Scott. It was an ambitious project in which <mask> had to play another complex character, "a woman who is caught between her ambition and her femininity. When the film opens, she is as tough as nails, a shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later woman. Along the way, she slowly opens herself up to her estranged father and a lover. I understood that dilemma well, the conflict between ambition and love, the fear of trusting someone else with your love." The film was a modest success but <mask> received good notices for her performance.In his review of the film, Roger Ebert noted how she had never topped the work she did in Bonnie and Clyde, and said that her career had been "rather absentminded" ever since.

In 1972, following the filming of Oklahoma Crude, <mask> returned to the stage in an adaptation of Harold Pinter's Old Times. She found the stage more challenging than film. "Old Times affected me in a lot of very complex ways. The play itself reminded me during a difficult point in my life that there are a million facets to life. There is never just one answer.Professionally, if I hadn't taken that step to go back to the stage, in a serious way, I think I would have suffered for it." The following year, <mask> portrayed Blanche DuBois in a Los Angeles stage adaptation of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. "It was a fun performance for me, but hard, very draining. At the height of the madness each night, I would go from standing straight up to falling to my knees, in one swift move." Williams himself praised <mask> for her performance, "He told me later that he thought I was brave and adorable and reminded him of a precocious child, and that my performance ranked with the very best. It was high praise indeed coming from him." Also in 1973, <mask> appeared as the villainous Milady de Winter in Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers, based on Alexandre Dumas' novel of the same name, co-starring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain and Charlton Heston.Eventually, producers decided to split the film into two parts: The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers (released in 1974).

 <mask>. Resurgence and acclaim, 1974–1981
Director Roman Polanski offered <mask> the lead role of Evelyn Mulwray in his mystery neo-noir Chinatown (1974). Although its producer, Robert Evans, wanted Polanski to consider Jane Fonda for the role, arguing that <mask> had a reputation for temperament, Polanski insisted on using Dunaway. She accepted the challenging and complex role of Mulwray, a shadowy femme fatale who knows more than she is willing to let Detective J.J. Gittes (played by Jack Nicholson) know. Dunaway got along well with Nicholson, describing him later as a "soul mate," but she clashed with Polanski, who had a reputation for being dictatorial and controlling on a set. "Roman was very much an autocrat, always forcing things.It ranged from the physical to the mental. He was very domineering and abrasive and made it clear he wanted to manipulate the performance. That approach has never worked with me." Two weeks after the filming started, the two had a confrontation that became notorious. Polanski pulled one of <mask>'s hairs out of her head, without telling her, because it was catching the light. <mask> was offended, describing his act as "sadistic" and left the set furious. "It was not the hair, it was the incessant cruelty that I felt, the constant sarcasm, the never-ending need to humiliate me."Years later, both shared their admiration for each other, with Polanski saying that their feud was not important – "It's the result that counts. And she was formidable," while <mask> admitted that "it was way too much made out of it," added that she enjoyed working with Polanski, calling him "a great director," and stated that Chinatown was "possibly the best film I ever made."

It made back its budget almost five times, and received 11 Academy Award nominations. <mask> received a second Best Actress nomination, and also received a Golden Globe nomination and a BAFTA nomination. Upon the release of the film, producer Robert Evans was full of praise for Dunaway. "She has everything—beauty, talent, neurosis.She's one of the great strange ones. When the lights go out and that face comes out of the dark and she looks at you with those big mysterious eyes, I tell you, it's a very compelling thing. She has something we haven't seen on the screen for a long time. She has witchery. She's a femme fatale." That same year, <mask> appeared in a television adaptation of After the Fall with Christopher Plummer. She played the lead role, which was for her "like a dream come true.As with Bonnie, I knew the territory well. Maggie (her character) was a completely wounded soul, a girl who had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks." She next played Paul Newman's fiancée who is trapped in a burning skyscraper along with several hundred other people in the all-star disaster epic, The Towering Inferno (1974). The film became the highest-grossing film of the year, further cementing <mask> as a top actress in Hollywood. Also in 1974, <mask> married Peter Wolf, the lead singer of the rock group The J. Geils Band. At this time, she felt "exhausted from the constant and intense pressures of the work," and at the last moment pulled out of The Wind and the Lion (1975), in which she was to costar with Sean Connery, to concentrate on her married life. Her next feature was Sydney Pollack's

texts: political thriller, Three Days of the Condor (1975).Her character was to be held hostage by a CIA analyst, played by Robert Redford, and <mask> was required to display fear that she might be raped. However, she had difficulty not breaking into laughter during the shoot, as "the idea of being kidnapped and ravaged by Robert Redford was anything but frightening." The film was a critical and commercial success, and <mask>'s performance, which was praised by the critics, earned her a fifth Golden Globe nomination. In his review of the film, Roger Ebert called her character "the very embodiment of pluck," and said that, "She has three lines of dialogue that brings the house down. They're obscene and funny and poignant all at once, and Dunaway delivers them just marvelously." <mask> took a break from acting and spent almost a year turning down projects. She passed on a role in Alfred Hitchcock's final film, the comic thriller Family Plot, which she later lamented.She returned to the screen in 1976 with the Holocaust drama Voyage of the Damned. The story was inspired by true events concerning the fate of the  ocean liner carrying Jewish refugees from Germany to Cuba in 1939. That same year, <mask> appeared in the Paddy Chayefsky-scripted satire Network as the scheming TV executive Diana Christensen, a ruthless woman who will do anything for higher ratings. She loved the script and later said this was "the only film I ever did that you didn't touch the script because it was almost as if it were written in verse." She pursued the role over the objections of her husband, Peter Wolf, and her confidant, William Alfred, who regarded Christensen as too heartless and were concerned that people would confuse her

However, <mask> believed it was "one of the most important female roles to come along in years" and went along with Chayevsky's conception and director Sidney Lumet's warning that she would not be allowed to sneak in any weeping or softness, and that it would remain on the cutting room floor if she did. The film, a success in its own day, is frequently discussed today due to its almost prophetic take on the television industry.<mask>'s performance was lauded, with Vincent Canby of The New York Times saying that she "in particular, is successful in making touching and funny a woman of psychopathic ambition and lack of feeling." <mask>'s performance in Network earned her many awards. She was named Best Actress in the Kansas City Film Critics Awards, and she received her sixth Golden Globe nomination for Network and was awarded Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. In early 1977, the Academy Awards nominated Network for ten awards, with <mask> winning the Best Actress award. Also in 1976, <mask> appeared as the lead in the made-for-television movie, The Disappearance of Aimee, in which she co-starred with Bette Davis. Following her Oscar win, Dunaway took another break from acting to figure out her personal life. As her marriage was falling apart, she began a relationship with English photographer Terry O'Neill, who took one of his most famous pictures, The Morning After, showing Dunaway poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel with her Oscar the morning after the ceremony.In 1978, <mask> returned to the screen in Irvin Kershner's thriller Eyes of Laura Mars, about a fashion photographer who sees visions of a killer murdering people.

She played supporting roles in The Champ (1979), as the film offered her the chance to play the role of a mother, "which was emotionally where I wanted to be in my life," and The First Deadly Sin (1980), as she wanted to work with Frank Sinatra. In 1981, Dunaway played the title role in Evita Peron, a television miniseries based on the life of the famed First Lady of Argentina. That same year, <mask> portrayed actress Joan Crawford in the adaptation of her daughter Christina's controversial memoirs, Mommie Dearest, in which she had depicted her adoptive mother as an abusive tyrant, who only adopted her four children to promote her acting career, making quite a stir as the first celebrity tell-all book. Dunaway accepted the role after meeting producer Frank Yablans and director Frank Perry, who both assured her that they wanted to tell the real story of Joan Crawford and not just a tabloid version of her life. "Though Christina's book was obviously an exploitation book, the first one of its kind, my task was to portray a woman, a full woman who she was in all her facets, not just one.I tried to illuminate who this woman was. But it was more than just about being angry, it was about trying to examine and explore the forces that undermined her."
