During the 2006–07 season, he was a member of the Senators team that reached the Stanley Cup Finals, the first appearance in the finals for the modern Senators' franchise. He won a Stanley Cup championship with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013. In 2013, <mask> won the William M.

His teammates and fans often referred to him as "Razor" or "<mask>" for his aggressive playing style.Early life
<mask> was born <mask> Nichols on September 28, 1982 in Hamilton, Ontario. His mother, Sharlene worked as an overhead crane operator at a Dofasco steel mill when she became pregnant at 20. His biological father had no interest in raising a child, and abandoned them. In 1984, Sharlene met <mask> whom she married in 1986. He was adopted by Paul and took his surname shortly afterwards. <mask> had two younger brothers, Andrew and Nicholas. The family lived in a century-old farmhouse near the town of Cayuga.<mask> excelled in school, and was offered a scholarship. He played many sports other than ice hockey, including golf, baseball, and soccer. In hockey, he originally played as a defenceman, but switched to goaltender at nine years old due to a shortage of goaltenders in his league. Playing career

Pre-NHL
<mask> committed to hockey on the advice of his mother, after a potential scholarship during his pursuit for higher education pushed him to take advantage of his athletic ability. At 16 years old, <mask> landed with the Ontario Junior Hockey League Junior C Dunnville Terriers after unsuccessfully trying out for eight different junior teams. <mask> was named the league's Rookie of the Year. The Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Sault Ste.Marie Greyhounds drafted <mask> in the fifth round of the 1999 OHL Draft. <mask> split the 1999–2000 season between the Welland Cougars of the OHA and the Greyhounds in the OHL. In 2000–01, he played with the Greyhounds. During his last season in junior hockey, 2001–02, <mask> gained notoriety for his fighting ability. He was named the OHL's Goaltender of the Year, setting a record of 33 wins and a GAA of 2.73. <mask> was selected in the fourth round, 99th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. In 2002–03, <mask> joined the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League (AHL) and immediately assumed the position of starting goaltender for his first professional season with the team.He was named to the AHL All-Star team, made the league's all-rookie team and became Binghamton's . <mask> was suspended twice for on-ice incidents in the same season, once for bumping a referee which resulted in a three-game suspension; the second time for an altercation with Denis Hamel of the Rochester Americans who admitted uttering a racial slur. <mask> retaliated and was suspended for three games. <mask> and Hamel later became teammates in Binghamton, and Hamel apologized "for not thinking about what  was saying, in the heat of a game". Ottawa Senators (2005–2008)

<mask> began his NHL career with the Ottawa Senators in 2005–06. He set a record for wins to start an NHL goaltending career, winning his first nine games, moving ahead of Bob Froese who had won his first eight games in the 1982–83 season. In March of the same season, <mask> won twelve games, tying Bernie Parent's 1974 record for the most wins in a month.At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, <mask> had won nine straight games during the regular season as the back-up to Dominik Hašek. When Hašek injured his groin during the 2006 Winter Olympics, <mask> became Ottawa's de facto starter, with Mike Morrison, claimed off of waivers from the Edmonton Oilers, as <mask>'s backup. <mask> was the starting goaltender for the rest of the season, leading the Senators to the second round of the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs. After the 2005–06 season, the Senators opted not to bring back Hašek, instead acquiring Martin Gerber to compete with <mask> for the starter position. Gerber was the starter at the beginning of the season, but due to his poor play, <mask> replaced him in mid-November. On February 10, 2007, <mask> was suspended for three games from the NHL for striking Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre in the face with his stick after Lapierre crashed into <mask>'s net. Twelve days later, after his suspension had ended, <mask> was involved in a fight between the Senators and the Buffalo Sabres.He and Sabres goaltender Martin Biron left their creases to fight each other. After this was finished, Sabres enforcer Andrew Peters grabbed <mask> and connected with ten hard punches to the head; <mask> did not directly punch Peters. Both goaltenders received game misconducts, and <mask> had the rare feat (for a goaltender) of receiving two five-minute majors for fighting in the same incident. In total, <mask> received 22 penalty minutes (two five-minute majors for fighting, a two-minute minor for leaving the crease and the 10-minute game misconduct) for this altercation. After the altercation, fans and media dubbed him "<mask>" in reference to retired boxer <mask> Robinson and <mask>'s reputation as a fighter. Then-teammate Brian McGrattan opined that if <mask> were a position player and not a goalie, he would likely rank among the top five fighters in the NHL. Prior to the 2007 playoffs, <mask> and the Senators won 5–2 against Montreal on March 30, 2007, which was his 100th NHL game.<mask>'s strong play in the season continued in the playoffs, as the Senators defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres each in five-game series en route to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since the team was founded in 1992, where the Senators ultimately lost to the Anaheim Ducks in five games. He became a restricted free agent after the end of the season and filed for salary arbitration, later agreeing to a three-year deal with the Senators worth  million before the hearings were held. By the pre-season of the 2007–08 campaign, <mask> had suffered a wrist injury that limited him to just 40 minutes of the pre-season and forced him to miss several games early in the Senators' season. On April 18, 2008, Murray announced to the media in an end-of-season press conference that <mask> would not return to the Senators for the 2008–09 season. On June 20, 2008, <mask> was waived by the Senators; he cleared waivers three days later and became a free agent as a result. Atlant Moscow (2008–2009)
<mask> signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Atlant Moscow Oblast of the newly formed Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on July 9, 2008. After giving up five goals during a game, he chased a trainer who attempted to put a sponsored cap on <mask>'s head.As a foreign goaltender, <mask> was allowed to play in only 65% of his team's 56 regular season games due to rules that encourage the development of Russian goaltenders. He split duties for the season with former Colorado Avalanche goaltender Vitaly Kolesnik and completed the season as a top goaltender in the KHL with a .926 save percentage and a 1.86 GAA. Philadelphia Flyers (2009–2010)
On June 10, 2009, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that they had agreed to terms with <mask> on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. On December 8, <mask> was placed on injured reserve to have surgery on a torn muscle in his abdomen. Originally expected to miss about six weeks, the prognosis changed when it was discovered that he had avascular necrosis of the hip. In March 2010, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren announced that <mask> would be out for the remainder of the season due to the diagnosis and that a bone graft would be carried out. Doctors were able to catch the disease before it spread, unlike the case of baseball and American football player Bo Jackson.As a result, in April, doctors announced a successful surgery. Jackson spoke out about <mask>, speculating that they were the only two athletes to come back after the disease. Jackson added, "I take my hat off [to him]. I want him to know I am in his corner. It's a lot of hard work. To come back and play, it takes a very, very special and driven person. He's got a different makeup to want to do all the little things he needs to compete on a professional level."Unlike Jackson, who required numerous hip replacements, <mask> had the benefit of advancements in modern medicine, undergoing a very specialized and complex procedure that involved removing 13 centimetres from his right fibula, and then grafting it to the femur to re-introduce a proper blood supply to the area. Holmgren said that while the surgery went better than expected, he did not know exactly how long <mask>'s recovery would take. On July 1, <mask> became an unrestricted free agent as his injury deemed him unable to play until he recuperated. In August, he was given the go-ahead to begin the grueling and tedious workout and rehabilitation process. In November 2010, TSN visited <mask> during an on-ice workout and were surprised to see him get down into the butterfly position and play for the first time since surgery. <mask> stated that he did not "care if [he could] walk in seven years", and he "just [wanted] to play". To the surprise of his doctors and trainers, <mask> recovered faster than expected.In January 2011, <mask> began skating with an OHL team, taking shots and training with Eric Lindros, and working with personal trainer Matt Nichol and goalie coach Eli Wilson. According to Wilson, <mask> was "as sharp and ready now as he was the summer before Ottawa's Stanley Cup Final run". In March 2011, <mask>'s injury and undefeated return to the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks garnered much media attention and fascination, with a special segment featured on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. <mask> had 13 centimetres of bone missing from his leg. This later garnered him a nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. Anaheim Ducks (2011)
On February 7, 2011, four NHL teams showed interest in signing <mask> before he signed a one-year two-way

Crawford stated that <mask>'s work habits led him to increase his focus and preparation before a game and during practice. "As a goalie, I've never seen a guy be so focused and ready for a game", Crawford said. "I was kind of doing the opposite – being nonchalant and doing other stuff and not having a routine. You get in that physical routine that just makes you ready mentally. You trick yourself into knowing that it's game time and time to play."Kyle Dubas, assistant GM of the Marlies, cited <mask> for his mentorship towards the team. On February 5, 2016, <mask> signed with Adler Mannheim of the German elite league Deutsche Eishockey Liga for the remainder of the season, thus ending his professional tryout with the Marlies. On March 29, he signed a tryout contract with the Flyers, and on April 1, the team announced that it had signed <mask> for the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, <mask> retired from the NHL. Personal life

In 2008, the media speculated that <mask> was involved with a bad crowd and recreational drugs. When asked about this speculation, <mask> responded, "I'm not a saint and I'm not in jail, either." At one point, <mask> was asked by the team's general manager whether he had a drug problem; <mask> responded in the negative. Paddock later expressed regret on how <mask> was handled in Ottawa; he was partially responsible for signing <mask> to the Flyers, where they worked together from 2013 to 2016. In January 2009, a video surfaced of <mask> trying to chase and punch a team trainer while the trainer was attempting to place a hat on his head in January 2009. In 2011, <mask> stated that he had learned from his past mistakes and that he had undergone anger management classes as well as eight weeks of behavioural counselling.In June 2010, <mask> began dating Canadian singer Keshia Chanté, and starred as the love interest in Chanté's music video for "Test Drive".

In March 2009, he was charged with stunt driving for allegedly having driven  or more over the posted speed limit. Police impounded his Hummer. He appeared on TSN's Off the Record with Michael Landsberg, saying that, at the time, his Hummer had been pulled over at least 30 times.Death
On July 15, 2018, <mask> went swimming with friends at the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club in Hamilton, Ontario. He jumped off a boat and friends called emergency services at approximately 6:00 am when he did not resurface. His body was found at about 2:50 pm that same day, about  from where he went into the water, according to Hamilton Police, who referred to the incident as a "case of misadventure". The search for <mask> took longer than anticipated due to unspecified safety concerns for the dive team before they could enter the water.

title: Donald Maclurcan

texts:
<mask>   (5 September 1918 – 3 August 1999) was an Australian architect. As a senior partner of Fowell, Mansfield and Maclurcan (and from 1971, Fowell, Mansfield, Jarvis and Maclurcan), he designed or directed the design of a wide range of building types, from individual houses to important infrastructure projects. Early years
He was the eldest son of Winifred Kenna and Charles Dansie Maclurcan. His grandmother, Hannah Maclurcan, was the author of "Mrs. Maclurcan's Cookbook" and owned the Wentworth Hotel. <mask> (1889-1957) was an electrical engineer and he used the flat roof of the Wentworth Hotel for his pioneering experiments in wireless transmission. <mask>n was educated at OLSH in Bowral, New South Wales and at Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview, where he completed his education in 1936. With the exception of English, his academic record was ordinary, despite his intelligence:  he simply was not interested.His school books were strewn with drawings and at the early age of 12 he declared that he wanted to be an architect. His most memorable achievement at school in fact was the notoriety he attracted when, with two friends, he hung a dummy in 1934 over the newly completed Sydney Harbour Bridge which prank garnered news paper coverage. Expulsion was avoided due to the intervention of one Jesuit father who liked him. Wartime
After leaving school, he attended the Sydney Institute of Technology in Ultimo to study architecture. In 1938, he met his future wife, Margaret Davis. In 1939, he enlisted in the Militia as a despatch rider and whilst unofficially engaged to Margaret, any thought of marriage was placed in abeyance. In 1941, he joined the AIF as a Sapper Second Lieutenant and departed for the Middle East on the Queen Mary in September.On his return in March, 1942, he married Margaret at St. Mary's Cathedral, during 10 days leave. He then departed for New Guinea soon becoming a Captain in the 2nd/14th Field Company. In New Guinea, he worked in Port Moresby then walked from Kokoda to Soputa, supervising the maintenance of the roads and bridges whilst being bombed by the Japanese. In 1944, he returned to Australia and collapsed on the Parade ground with malaria, weighing less than 7 stone. Invalided out of the army just when he was to be promoted to Major, he resumed his studies with great energy, completing the final 18 months of the course in 6 months. In doing so, he developed an ulcer. Architectural career
After graduation, he joined the architectural firm of "Fowell and Mansfield" becoming a named partner in June 1946.As a senior partner for 30 years he designed and/or directed the design of a wide range of building types, from individual houses to important infrastructure projects. He developed special expertise in the aesthetics of civil engineering structures and matters concerning visual environment. As a result, he directed the firm's many consultancies to government authorities such as the Snowy Mountains Engineering Authority, the NSW Departments of Main Roads and Railways, the State Electricity Commission and the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board. He was Chairman of the National Parks Advisory Committee of Architects (1966 to 1976), a member of the NSW State Pollution Control Commission and the Australian Government's Advisory Committee for Expo 74, held in Spokane, USA. He travelled extensively in Europe in 1952 on general architecture studies, in 1960 to the USA on major dams and power stations and in 1967 to both Europe and USA researching road bridges, expressway interchanges and underground rail systems. Other achievements
He was also President of the Illuminating Engineers (NSW then Australia) in 1952, a member of the Catholic Building and Finance Committee and the first Chairman of the newly formed Zoological Parks Board of NSW from 1973 to 1976, in which capacity he visited major zoos around the world in 1973 to study their design and administration. In 1975, in recognition of these achievements, he was appointed an OBE.Some years earlier, he was recognised by the Catholic Church for his advisory work by being appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Gregory. Throughout his career, he also pursued other activities with the same determination he applied to his work. For over 10 years he was President of the Ski Council and in 1960, he acted as Chef de Mission and General Manager of the Australian Viii Olympic Winter Team in Squaw Valley. In 1961, with his brother, Robert, and his sister-in-law, Francine, he built a ski hut in Perisher. At the same time, he owned a succession of sports cars, including 4 Bristols, an Aston Martin, MGs, and a Riley. He drove them all like there was no tomorrow and maintained many of them himself, applying his significant mechanical skills. As a young boy, he sailed with his brothers, Douglas and Robert, in a small vessel off Pittwater.This was the start of his other major sporting interest. In 1959, he purchased the 28 foot Daydream, "Mirrabooka" and immediately began competitive racing. He graduated to the 31 foot "Mhairi Dhu" in 1962, then launched the 34 foot "Morag Bheag" in 1969. He continued to race until 1990 culminating with the recognition of "Yachtsman of the Year" at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron Annual Prize Giving. He sailed with fierce skill, loved to win but was always generous in his acknowledgment of the skill of his competitor if he was beaten. Retirement
In 1983, he retired at the age of 65 and thereafter would say he "used" to be an architect, filling his time making exquisite ship models. All of his attention to detail, dexterity and love of the sea came into play and for the next 10 years he produced about 15 models.In 1987, he was commissioned to build a model of the Endeavour for the Bi-Centenary, which is now in the National Museum in Canberra. He was delighted to receive a tax credit in lieu of payment. When he was approached to apply his skills to commercial model making, his sense of fairness prevailed and he refused, saying that the work should be directed to those who built models for a living, not a retired gentleman like himself. He was also an accomplished painter and a few privileged friends were given beautiful water colours of their yachts, painted by him in his annual Christmas sojourn to Pittwater on the family yacht. He remained married to Margaret for 57 years until his death in 1999 and they had 4 children; Charles, Lyndal, Barbara and John.

<mask> (24 November 1963 – 28 May 2018) was a Scottish football player and coach. He played as a midfielder during the 1980s and 1990s, most prominently for the Aberdeen team managed by Alex Ferguson, and later played for Aston Villa, Rangers, Reading, Dunfermline Athletic and Ross County. <mask> then became a coach, and worked as a manager in England with Hartlepool United (twice) and Gillingham, and in Scotland with Ross County and Peterhead. Playing career
Born in Darjeeling, India, <mask> attended Airyhall Primary School and Hazlehead Academy in Aberdeen and began his senior career with Aberdeen, the team he had supported as a boy. A first-team regular from the beginning of the 1981–82 season, he starred in midfield for the Dons for five seasons in which he won two Premier Division championships, four Scottish Cups, one League Cup, the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup under the management of Alex Ferguson. Having initially moved into a flat in Aberdeen as a young player, <mask> was 'persuaded' by Ferguson to return to his mother's home to help ensure that <mask> was shielded from the obvious temptations arising from youthful independence. In the summer of 1986, he signed for Aston Villa.<mask> made only twenty league appearances in the next two years, partly because of injuries. In the 1988–89 season, he transferred to Rangers but injuries restricted him to only seventeen league appearances. <mask> returned to Aberdeen in 1990, but he was unable to make a first team appearance due to ongoing fitness issues. In 1991, <mask> signed for Reading, where he linked up with his former Aberdeen teammate Mark McGhee. <mask> made seven league appearances in a brief stint with Reading, before he moved to Dunfermline Athletic. At Dunfermline he was able to play regularly, helping them win promotion to the Premier Division in 1995–96 (having lost to his former club Aberdeen in the play-off a year earlier). Despite his success at club level and a prominent role in the national age-group teams including at the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship, he never gained a full cap for Scotland, a fact which surprised many.Managerial career

Ross County
In 1996, <mask> moved into management with Ross County. He guided the Staggies through two successful promotion campaigns climbing from the fourth to the second tier, before stepping down after a run of only one win in eleven games. Hartlepool United
After a break from the game to recharge his batteries and refresh, <mask> was appointed manager of Hartlepool United. Pools had been promoted from the bottom tier of English football to Division Two for the third time in their history, but manager Mike Newell had been sacked. He was a surprise choice of chairman Ken Hodcroft, but <mask>'s strong Aberdeen links, with Pools owners IOR Ltd based in the Scottish city, helped his cause. Hodcroft was impressed by <mask> from their first encounter. Upon appointment, <mask> joked "I've com from Ross County, which is somewhere up near Iceland".His first game in charge of Pools was a memorable 4-3 opening day of the season win at Peterborough United - with four new signings all getting on the scoresheet, creating history in the process. <mask> described it as "One of the most emotional games of football I've ever been involved in" after his new side came back from 3-1 down to win. That momentum carried Pools forward, coupled with <mask>'s charisma and touchline passion. New signing Marco Gabbiadini made an impact before he was forced to retire. Another new striking recruit Paul Robinson scored a hat-trick in a Friday night 8-1 thumping of Grimsby Town at Victoria Park. <mask> then drove back home to Aberdeen to be with his family after the game. <mask>'s touchline manner meant he was an instant hit with the Pools' crowd and that season he led the team to their highest-ever league finish - sixth in Division Two.They also took over 10,000 fans to the Stadium of Light - the biggest away attendance at Sunderland's ground - for an FA Cup third round tie. Pools secured a play-off spot thanks to a 1-1 draw at Swindon Town on the final day. Both teams only needed a point to make the play-offs and Pools took on Bristol City. Pools drew 1-1 at home, before losing 2-1 in the second-leg, conceding two late goals after Antony Sweeney had headed Pools in front. The next season, Pools again finished sixth. <mask>'s side was a joy to watch as they embarked on a 12-game unbeaten run at the turn of the year with Adam Boyd and Joel Porter irresistible up front. But Pools won only 3 of 12 games, including a 4-6 home loss to Wrexham.And after a home defeat by Walsall, <mask> was controversially removed from his post, with just one league game to go. Hodcroft later said that the manager was struggling on a number of personal fronts with his family and children back in Aberdeen. <mask>'s assistant Martin Scott took temporary command and <mask>'s players made the play-off final, losing 4-2 to Sheffield Wednesday after extra time. <mask>'s time in charge of Pools from 2003-2005 is viewed as one of the club's finest and most exciting chapters. Gillingham

After a poor run of form at the start of the 2012–13 season and unable to halt the slide amid a fractured dressing room, <mask> resigned as Hartlepool boss in late October after a defeat at Bury.

Rafael Medina is the son of a Panama-based professional wrestling promoter and began his professional wrestling career on April 30, 1993 in his native Panama, working under the ring name "El Guapo Siniestro" ("The Sinister Hansome One"). At some point in the 1990s Mexican wrestler Negro Casas came to Panama to work for Medina's father and provided additional training for Medina. During this timeframe Casas met and married Rafael Medina's sister and when she moved to Mexico Medina followed her, settling down in Mexico. Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2000–2005)

The team lost to Super Parka and Máscara Año 2000 in the first round. He later became a part of Pierroth, Jr.'s Los Boricuas (slang for "The Puerto Ricans") rudo (wrestlers who portray the "bad guys", also known as "heels") group and thus played the part of a Puerto Rican sympathizer, claiming that Puerto Rico was superior to Mexico in terms of the storyline. The group was led by Pierroth and also included Gran Markus, Jr., The Killer, Bestia Salvaje, Poder Boricua, Violencia, Nitro, Hijo del Pierroth, Pierrothito, Pequeño Violencia and La Nazi. Veneno, Hijo de Pirroth and Doctor X defeated Tony Rivera, Tigre Blanco and Volador Jr. on CMLL's annual Sin Piedad show.

In early 2002 Gran Markus, Jr. turned on the rest of Los Borucuas, unhappy with Pierroth's leadership, as part of the storyline junior member <mask> stepped up and wanted to punish the "traitor", which led to a match where both wrestlers put their mask on the line (called a Luchas de Apuestas, or "Bet match").The match was the main event of CMLL's 2002 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") show on March 17, 2002.

title: John Hutchison (sculptor)

texts:
<mask> (1 June 1832 – 23 May 1910) was a Scottish sculptor based in Edinburgh. He was the son of an unnamed builder, and his artistic life began as a thirteen-year-old woodcarving apprentice. He attended art school in the evenings, then later became a student at the Trustees Academy. and attracted the patronage of its owner, Patrick Allan Fraser, who gave him commissions to fund his study in Rome. Although after Rome he continued to enjoy ancient Roman sculptural themes, he remained in Edinburgh for the rest of his life, working in wood, clay and marble, and concentrating on portraiture of Scottish people, and images of Scottish myth and history. He created the bust of Sir Walter Scott in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. He was a successful artist who received commissions from Queen Victoria.Background
<mask>'s father was an Edinburgh builder. He was born in Laurieston, in north-west Edinburgh. In 1895 he was left £1,000 by James Cowan. He married Margaret Ballantine (1839–1875) on 28 June 1870 in Edinburgh. Margaret was the daughter of poet James Ballantine and Margaret Peat. <mask>'s daughter Henrietta (1871–1933) married Andrew Paterson Melville and became a Justice of the Peace. <mask> retired in 1907 and spent much time reading.When his lifelong friend Orchardson died in April 1910, "it told very seriously upon him. He lost his old interest in life, and his strength under the blow gradually gave way." <mask> died on 23 May 1910 in Edinburgh after a week's illness, and is buried in Grange Cemetery, in the northern half of its SE section, alongside his wife Margaret. In 1911 The Royal Scottish Academy received <mask>'s portrait by Sir William Quiller Orchardson, R.A., HRSA., as a bequest from <mask>. This portrait was originally done in exchange for a sculpted head of Orchardson by <mask>. Career

Training
<mask> lived, worked and died in Edinburgh. However his apprenticeship from age thirteen as a wood carver was served in a workshop on the top floor of a tenement (since demolished) on Edinburgh High Street near <mask>'s Corner.This involved work on the estate at Hospitalfield Trust, Arbroath 1849 to 1853 under the sculptor James Christie. At Hospitalfield he had the patronage of architect Patrick Allan Fraser who gave him commissions to fund his studies in Rome. <mask> later became one of the Trustees of the Hospitalfield Trust. As an apprentice he also took evening classes in decorative and modelling, before studying in the Antique and Life department under Robert Scott Lauder at the Trustees Academy, Edinburgh, from 1848. He joined its Sketching Club, and studied alongside George Paul Chalmers, <mask> and William Quiller Orchardson. In 1859–1860 and 1863 he studied in Rome under Alfred Gatty. He associated there with artists Pietro Tenerani, Giovanni Dupré, Hiram Powers, <mask>, and Lawrence Macdonald.He was a student at the Edinburgh School of Applied Art 1894–95, when already an established sculptor. His skills were in marble, wood and bronze. Working life
<mask>'s sculpture yard stood at 3 Torphicen Place in Edinburgh's West End, and he lived with his family in a large Victorian flat at 19 Manor Place, slightly to the north of his studio. He exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) from 1856 to 1902, and became an associate of the RSA in 1862, and a member in 1867. He acted as Librarian to the RSA from 1877 to 1886, and one of his early tasks was to arrange and classify the collection of prints bequeathed by David Laing. He was Honorary Treasurer from 1886 to 1907. On his retirement, he was presented with a silver hot-water jug and a Georgian silver salver in respect of their esteem, and his "long and devoted interest" in the Academy.He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1862. <mask> was involved in an early usage of tintype photographs in the Courts, used to prove the death of the late Earl of Aberdeen and to allow for his brother to succeed the title. The petitioner Campbell Gordon wished to prove that his brother, Earl George Gordon, had travelled to America and enrolled as mate on the ship Hera under the name of George H. Osborne, then drowned at sea. Photographs of George taken in Scotland, and in America under his new name, were to be compared by artists as expert witnesses, and <mask> was asked to be one of these. The Times  said that he specialised in figures from "Scottish history and romance" and memorials of Scottish priests. By 1908, <mask> has retired from the Royal Scottish Academy's exhibition "active list", implying that he had retired from creating public works. Works

Early work

<mask>'s first public work was executed in 1852, when he was twenty years old, for Patrick Allan Fraser HRSA.He "executed the woodcarvings and other decorations in relief for the picture gallery then in course of erection in Hospitalfield." The architect Fraser spent some years on this build, which provided much work for artisans. His other 1850s works included: Portrait Medallion (1856), his first of many entries in the Scottish Royal Academy's exhibitions. The next to be exhibited was the József Katona character Melinda (1857), then Bust of a Gentleman (1858), Bust of J.B. Macdonald, Esq. (1859),  the Coleridge character Genevieve (1859) and the "colossal bust" of Harald Hardrada (1859) for Lord Dufferin's Clandeboye Estate. After studying in Rome
By 1860, <mask> had trained in Rome, and in October of that year was appointed teacher of ornamental modelling at the Watt Institution and School of Arts. He concentrated on portraits and busts, some with ancient Roman themes.He exhibited a Bust of Lawrence Macdonald Esq., HRSA, Sculptor (1860), and of Robert Scott Lauder RSA (1859), both now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. In the same year he produced portraits of Dr Farquharson father of Joseph Farquharson, his friend <mask>, Esq., RA, HRSA, and The late Sir George Harvey, PRSA. in 1861 he executed Rome and A Roman Girl. Then Biggs Andrew, Esq., QC and Don Quixote were exhibited in 1862, followed by Mrs Learmonth in 1863. He showed Fanny, Daughter of Thomas Faed, Esq., ARA, HRSA and Bonnye Kilmeny in 1864. Stella, a Roman Mother and Angelino, a Shepherd appeared in 1865. In 1866 he exhibited Mrs Richardson, and A Roman Dancing Girl.Another 1866 work was Adam Black, Esq., a marble bust and precursor to the later bronze. The Scotsman was "delighted to observed the excellence of the likeness generally, and the success with which the sculptor has conveyed the mingled expression of firmness and sagacity so characteristic of the original." The Dundee Courier declared that "the composition, plain and unsophisticated, devoid of all ornament, is in harmony with and fitly symbolises the life-long character of the original." 1867 saw the appearance of James Ballantine, part of the Ballantine Testimonial, and also A Lady, and Bust of a Lady. In 1868 he executed James Cox, Esq., Lochee and J. Whyte-Melville Esq., Bennochy, past Grand Master-Mason of Scotland. His Dante was exhibited in 1869. His Pasquccia, A Roman Contadina (1870), is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.Greyfriars Kirk has his Angel of the Resurrection (1870) as part of the Robert Lee memorial, and Warriston Cemetery has his Monument to Robert Scott Lauder (1870). His Tablet to Dr William Glover (1871) is at Greenside Church, Royal Terrace, and his Monument to David Allan (1874) is in Old Calton Burial Ground. He recarved the defaced portrait on the monument to William Carstares (d.1727) at Greyfriars Kirkyard in 1876. During this decade he created two monumental statues: Adam Black (1877) in Princes Street Gardens and Robert the Bruce (1879) which is on Lochmaben High Street, Dumfries and Galloway; his birthplace. The latter shows Bruce holding court at the 1320 Great Convention of Estates, at Arbroath. Increasing reputation
<mask>'s increasing reputation is reflected in the number of larger commissions he received in the 1870s. They include statues, monuments and a bronze door.He began with Coll Macdonald Macdonald (1870), and James Falshaw, Esq., Forfar (1871). There was more work available in 1873, with The Earl of Dalhousie, KT, GCB, The late Archibald Watson Goldie, Esq., WS, Nina, a Roman study, Peter Reid, Esq., Forfar, Mrs Lockhart Thomson, The late Sir James Y. Simpson, Bt, MD etc, Emmie, Mrs James Ballantine, and The late William Glover, DD. In 1874 he produced The Glee Maiden from the Fair Maid of Perth, Katie, daughter of <mask>aren, Esq., Advocate, Sheriff in Chancery, and James Salmon, Esq., Architect, Glasgow, while still perhaps preparing for the 1877 bronze, with The late Adam Black, Esq. 1875 may have been taken up with this bronze, because he only exhibited Reverend Alexander Duff, DD, LLD in that year and in 1876 he had little time for anything else. In 1877 he was free to execute The late George Dalziel, Esq., <mask> Brodie, Esq., and the 17-foot centennial monument to James Carmichael, engineer & inventor of the fan blast, unveiled in Albert Square, Dundee on 17 June. Carmichael sits reading a plan, with his inventions pictured on the plinth. In the same year he made the Design for an alter-tomb now being erected in marble, and a Bronze Door of Mausoleum, perspective view.In 1878 he again exhibited a version of The late Adam Black; also Duncan McLaren, Esq., MP, and A Young Lady. In 1879 he

 showed A Portrait, Henry Simpson Esq., Rev. George R. Davidson, DD, and The late William Jenkyns, MA, killed in defence of the British Residency, Cabul. In the 1880s there were busts and memorials. He executed the Marble Monument to George Paul Chalmers in Dean Cemetery in 1880. In 1882 he contributed three or four stone figures to the Scott Monument on Princes Street including Baron Bradwardine, The Glee Maiden and Flora MacIvor, plus "eight heads in relief for the relic room." Four busts followed this: Sir James Falshaw (1871) exhibited again, Lord Provost of Edinburgh (1882), Charles Wyville Thomson (1883), in the Playfair Library, Edinburgh University, William Robertson (1883) at Greyfriars Kirk and William Lindsay Alexander (1885) in Augustine Congregational Church, George IV Bridge.In 1887 he made the gilded Figure of Youth. There followed a Bust of Sir Douglas Maclagan (1887), now in the Playfair Library, Edinburgh University, and the Head of Sir <mask> Brodie (1888) for his grave in Dean Cemetery. The 1880s was a very busy year. In 1880 he produced Marietta, a Roman girl, The late George Paul Chalmers, RSA, Bust of a Gentleman, The Late Adam Black, Lord Provost & MP for Edinburgh, Katie, Stella, Pasquccia, study from life at Rome, The late D. O. Hill, RSA after Patric Park, The Late Dr Robert Lee, and the Roman Dancing Girl Reposing. Queen Victoria's commissions and public recognition
In 1881, <mask> exhibited King Robert the Bruce, and in 1882 The Late William Rutherford Sanders, Professor of Pathology, Edinburgh University. In 1883 he showed Bust of a Gentleman, The Late Rt Hon. Lady Moncrieff, The Reverend Robert Herbert Story, DD, Rosneath, and Lord McLaren.Sir J. Noel Paton, RSA and Her Majesty's Limner for Scotland were produced in 1884, along with R. Roy Paterson, Esq., The Late Sir Charles Wyville Thomson, The Late J. A. Lake Gloag, Esq., and The Late Rt Hon. Fox Maule, Earl of Dalhousie etc in Dundee chamber of commerce. In 1885 he created The Late Sir Henry Wellwood Moncrieff, Bart, DD. in 1886 he executed The Late Arthur Perigal, RSA, Il Condottiere, A study from life at Rome, William McEwan, Esq., and The Late Dr Lindsay Alexander. In 1887 he produced Dante in bronze, Professor Sir Douglas Maclagan, MD, President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, The Late <mask>, Esq., Edinburgh, and The Late Very Rev.Principal Tulloch, DD, LLD, the Queen's chaplain and Dean of the Order of the Thistle (made for the Queen and now in Windsor Castle). By 1888 he could be said to have arrived, because after showing Bust of a Lady and Sir Charles U. Aitchison, KCSI, late Lieut-Governor of the Punjab, he produced The Late Dr Rev. Norman McLeod, LLD, etc, the Queen's chaplain and another one of several works commissioned by Queen Victoria and now in Windsor Castle. In 1887 he completed a bust of Her Majesty the Queen and of her consort Prince Albert, presented to the Victoria Art Galleries, Dundee by ex-Provost Ballingall, in the Queen's Golden Jubilee year. In 1889 he was commissioned by the Queen to create a memorial to the Royal Stewarts in Paisley Abbey: "a recumbent sculptured cross of Peterhead granite, on which will rest a Gothic cross of Sicilian marble." It was to be installed in September 1889. The same year, he exhibited A Torch Racer which had been the model for the 1887 Figure of Youth.In the 1890s his commissions were reflecting public recognition. In 1893 he carved figures on the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, including <mask> on the west side of the building. The bronze statue of <mask> (1895) in the central quadrangle of New College is his. The Dundee Advertiser said: "This sculptor had a great wish to execute a statue of Knox, and for two years previously had worked at it as a relief from more pressing work." The sculptor unveiled it himself in front of a large crowd on 21 May. His marble Bust of Sir Walter Scott (1897) in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey is an homage to that of Sir Francis Chantrey in Abbotsford House. This bust was commissioned and funded by The Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club.By 1890 he was 68 years old, and producing as much as ever. That year, he exhibited The late Dr Andrew Combe, The late Hon. Lord Fraser, The late <mask>, MD, Nairn, and the head of Dante in marble. At the RSA Exhibition in 1890 his Grigor was the most conspicuous piece: "an entirely realistic figure in bronze, with pilot-jacket overcoat, with wide-awake hat, as in life." 1891 brought Bust of a Lady, William Tod, Esq., and The Late William Wright, LLD, Professor of Arabic, Cambridge University. In 1892 he produced Henry Irving in the role of Hamlet, Baillie Harris and Miss Harris in the High School of Dundee, Sir Douglas Maclagan, MD, etc., and Study of a Girl's Head. 1893 brought more memorials, besides portraits to be presented with testaments.These were The Late J. F. MacLennan, LLD, Advocate, La Penserosa in reference to a poem by Louise Colet, The Late Mrs Barbour of Bonskied, The Late Alexander Kilgour, MD, Aberdeen, and Bust of a lady. The private commissions continued throughout 1894, with James Carmichael, Engineer, Dundee, Miss Ethel Campbell Smith, Bust of a Lady and The Regent Murray. His life must have become more interesting in 1895, because some projects had scope for invention: Agriculture, Engineering, and Study for a Head of a Colossal Statue. Perhaps now he could afford not to accept so many private commissions by 1896. In that year he made or exhibited The late Charles Jenner, Esq., and Pasquccia, Roman study, and Study of a Girl's Head. In 1897 he showed William McEwan, Esq., MP, George Buchanan, humanist and reformer, and The late Charles U. Aitchison, KCSI, Lieut-Governor of the Punjab, for the Aitchison College, Lahore. In 1898 he created Dante, Ravenna.His portrait of Professor George James Allman is undated, but Allman died in 1898. Last years

In his last decade, <mask> exhibited only until 1905, and to begin with in 1900 he only showed one work: The late Professor William Rutherford, MD, FRS, Professor of Physiology, Edinburgh University. In 1901 he showed three works from previous years: Pasquecia, Her late Majesty the Queen, and Il Condottiere, besides new works including The Good Shepherd, Rev. David Macrae, Aeneas J. G. Mackay, Esq., KC, Sheriff of Fife & Kinross and Henrietta. In 1902 he again showed Bust of lady and Study of a Roman Girl, along with the new work James Grahame, Marquis of Montrose. In 1903 he produced Thomas Aird, and A Florentine. In 1905 he showed his last exhibited work, Sir <mask> Tuke, MD, MP.Anecdotes from his career

Adam Black statue incident
<mask> was contracted to have his Adam Black statue completed within nine months of commission, but an accident happened in July 1876, delaying completion until the following year. The full-sized Tinto clay model, for the mould in which to cast this "massive" bronze, took eight months of "arduous labour" to complete by the evening of Friday 14 July; a hot night of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. His assistant moistened the clay that evening, but by seven a.m. the front of the model had exploded off its framework. The Scotsman reported: "It was found a hideous ruin, great masses of clay having fallen away so as to expose the wooden framework on which the model had been built. The left arm lay on the floor at some little distance; the left hand side and upper half of the left leg, with a considerable portion of the front of the figure, were entirely gone; while the parts that remained showed several yawning cracks, with the exception of the head, which fortunately had escaped quite uninjured." It was speculated that as the framework and its supporting iron bar were intact, internal expansion of hot air had done the damage. The memorial committee granted an extension.Figure of Youth incident
In 1887 he made the gilded Figure of Youth which crowns the dome on Old College. Adam Hall was the model for this allegory of the ideal student brandishing the Torch of Knowledge, and he was also a burglar. He was charged and sentenced to three months in the Edinburgh Sheriff Criminal Court for breaking a window and desk lock on 11 June and stealing a watch, ring and £4 10s from <mask>'s studio. Queen's portrait bust incident
In 1887 he completed a bust of Her Majesty the Queen, and of her consort Prince Albert, presented to the Victoria Art Galleries, Dundee by ex-Provost Ballingall, in the Queen's Golden Jubilee year. Many years later, after <mask> had died, The Scotsman told this story: "One day, after the sitting, the Queen stood by the clay model as it was nearing completion, and gave her kindly criticism upon it. "Don't you think," said Her Majesty, "that this is a little prominent?" pointing to a part of the chin, and as she did so she placed her thumb, artist-like, on to the clay, which yielded to her touch.The sculptor took care that the mark Queen Victoria had left on her own bust was not effaced, and that it was duly carved in the more enduring marble."

title: Richard Cholmondeley

texts:
Sir <mask> (or Cholmeley) (c. 1460–1521) was an English farmer and soldier, who served as Lieutenant of the Tower of London from 1513 to 1520 during the reign of Henry VIII. He is remembered because of his tomb at the Tower of London and because he is fictionalized as a character in Gilbert and Sullivan's darkly comic opera, The Yeomen of the Guard. Cholmeley's name has frequently been misspelled "<mask>" because of its misspelling in the plaque on his tomb, which led to the misspelling of the character's name in the opera; other branches of Cholmeley's family use the longer spelling. Knighted in 1497 for valour in battle against the Scots, Cholmeley continued to serve as a soldier until 1513, becoming entrusted with many positions of responsibility for security of castles and fortifications in England. He was successful as a farmer and a shrewd investor in land, much increasing his family wealth. As Lieutenant of the Tower of London, he drew criticism for his reaction to the Evil May Day riots of 1517, when he ordered the firing of some of the Tower's artillery at the city to suppress rioting. He was also responsible for the rebuilding of the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula at the Tower.His illegitimate son, Roger Cholmeley, became Lord Chief Justice of the court of King's Bench. Life and career
Cholmeley (pronounced "Chumley") was born at Chorley, a small settlement approximately six miles south west of Nantwich, Cheshire near Cholmondeley, the eldest son of Joan Eyton and John Cholmeley, wealthy sheep farmers and land owners. See the heading "Tomb and Family Name", below, regarding the family name. While <mask> was very young, his family moved to East Yorkshire, where his maternal grandfather held extensive estates. Early career
Cholmeley was appointed Bailiff of York in 1492 and High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1495. In 1497, he served under Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey to repel a Scots assault at Norham Castle, a stronghold of the Bishopric of Durham. For his service, Cholmeley was knighted in the field at Ayton by Lord Surrey as representative of the king.In the same year, he was appointed Lieutenant of Berwick upon Tweed and Governor of Kingston upon Hull. In 1499, Cholmeley and his younger brother Roger were appointed Constables of Pickering Castle, North Yorkshire and Stewards of the Honour and Foresters of the Royal Forest. While Roger settled in the constable's lodgings at the castle, Sir <mask> purchased a small estate and house at nearby Thornton on the Hill (now part of Thornton-le-Dale). In 1506, Cholmeley was appointed Collector of the Great Custom in the Port of London. In 1513, the Scots invaded England to meet their treaty obligations to France under the Auld Alliance. At the Battle of Flodden, the English, including a Cheshire levy under Cholmeley's command, successfully repelled the Scots. He had brought with him the Citizen Yeomenry of Hull.With English victory, Lord Surrey was restored as Duke of Norfolk. Lieutenant of the Tower
In October 1513, Cholmeley was appointed Lieutenant of the Tower of London and Supervisor General of Richmond Castle and eleven other Yorkshire castles and manors. There was no suitable house for Cholmeley and his family within the Tower precincts, and so he purchased a house in nearby Barking, where he lived while serving as Lieutenant of the Tower. The Lieutenant served under the Constable of the Tower, at the time Thomas Lovell. The duties of the Lieutenant included defence, maintenance, and custody of the prisoners at the Tower, including escorting prisoners of note to trial at Westminster Hall which, at that time, housed the courts of law. Cholmeley's maintenance works included the complete rebuilding of the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, the parish church of the Tower of London, which had been largely destroyed by fire in 1512. The construction was carried out in 1519–20.Cholmeley lost some favour with the City of London authorities because of his reaction to the Evil May Day riots of 1517. During the riots, he furiously ordered the firing of some of the Tower's artillery at the city during rioting by gangs of young Londoners, who attacked foreigners, especially the wealthy foreign merchants and bankers of Lombard Street, London and who took control of London for several days. This drew the ire of the city elders. In 1520, he resigned his post at the Tower due to ill health. He died in March 1521 (1522 by the modern calendar system) in St Katharine's by the Tower. Cholmeley is the only historical character to appear in a Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Yeomen of the Guard. In the story of that opera, while serving as Lieutenant of the Tower, Cholmeley finds that a prominent prisoner, scheduled to be executed, has escaped.He launches a full-scale investigation. Legacy
Cholmeley became very wealthy by inheritance and shrewd property investments. At the time of his death, he held extensive estates in Northumberland, Cumberland, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Middlesex, Kent and Calais, along with several properties in London. By his will dated 26 December 1521, he left the bulk of his estate to his widow Elizabeth (nee Pennington), with bequests to his only issue, his illegitimate son, named Roger. Cholmeley willed specific items of value to his younger brother, also named Roger. Cholmeley's widow, Elizabeth, later married her third husband, Sir William Gascoigne of Cardington, Bedfordshire (her first husband was Sir Walter Strickland of Sizergh). She died in 1546.His illegitimate son, Roger Cholmeley, enrolled at Lincoln's Inn to study law in 1506, eventually becoming Recorder of the City of London (from 1535 to 1545), a member of parliament and Chief Baron of the Exchequer (from 1545). He was knighted in 1534. In May 1552, he was appointed as Chief Justice of the King's Bench. He was Lord Chief Justice for only a year because Queen Mary I would not reappoint him. Also in 1552, he was imprisoned for six weeks in the Tower of London and fined for signing Lady Jane Grey's instrument of succession as Queen. He returned to work as a barrister and was a member of parliament for Middlesex in the early 1550s. Roger died in 1565, survived by two daughters.He is possibly best remembered for his endowment to found a free grammar school, Highgate School, at London. Cholmeley's brother, Roger, had a son whom he named <mask>, whose descendants are the Cholmeleys of Roxby, Bramston and Whitby. This is the line of the current 7th Baronet, Sir Frederick Sebastian Cholmeley of Easton Hall, Grantham, Lincolnshire. Cholmeley's cousin, <mask> of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, was married to Elizabeth Brereton of Malpas, whose brother, William Brereton, was executed in 1536 on suspicion of being Anne Boleyn's lover. That branch of the family's descendants, beginning with Sir <mask>, included the Marquesses and Earls of Cholmondeley. Tomb and family name
In 1522, after the rebuilding of St. Peter ad Vincula, a tomb was built in the church covered by effigies of Cholmeley and his wife. The monument is one of the oldest in the chapel, where many famous people who were executed at the Tower are buried.The alabaster effigies lie fenced in ironwork under the central arcade. However, Cholmeley is not buried in this tomb. In his will, he requests that he be buried "within the Chapel of our blessed Lady of Barking beside the Tower of London" (now called "All Hallows, Barking") and that if the Masters and Wardens would not agree, then "my body be buried in the Church of the Crutched Friars beside the Tower of London" (now called "St. Olaf's"). All Hallows was almost totally destroyed during the blitz of London during World War II, and so it is not known whether he was buried there or at St. Olaf's. There is some evidence that he may have been buried in one of the tombs of the Cholmondeley, Cheshire branch of his family. Cholmeley's family can be traced back to the 12th century Robert de Chelmundelegh, second son of William le Belward, who inherited parts of the Barony of Malpas (for which Malpas is named), including Cholmondeley, Cheshire, previously held by Robert Fitzhugh. Over the centuries, the family name was spelled in many variants as middle-English developed away from French influences.Different branches of the family spell the name differently, and Cholmeley's most famous cousins, of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, spell the name "Cholmondeley". In Victorian times, Sir <mask>'s tomb in St. Peter ad Vincula was relocated and had a new name panel fitted. The panel states that the Lieutenant of the Tower was named <mask> "<mask>". Thus, Gilbert and Sullivan called him "<mask> <mask>". However, Sir <mask>'s father was John Cholmeley, his grandfather was William Cholmeley, and his brother was Roger Cholmeley. His will is signed <mask>, and his illegitimate son was Sir Roger Cholmeley. After the Cholmondeley branch of the family became the more highly titled branch, Sir <mask>, Lieutenant of the Tower, was confused with his cousin, <mask> of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, or one of the five knights named <mask>, Chomondley or Cholmeley living around the same time.Notes

title: Marlia Hardi

texts:
<mask> (also <mask>; 10 March 192718 June 1984) was an Indonesian film actress active from 1951 to 1983. Born in the Central Javan city of Magelang, she took to the stage in the 1940s before moving to Jakarta in 1949. Two years later she made her feature film debut in Untuk Sang Merah Putih. Over the next two decades she appeared in over seventy films, became recognized for her depictions of mothers, and received the Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress. Despite her productiveness, however, she sank into debt and committed suicide at the age of fifty-seven. Biography
<mask> was born in Magelang, Central Java, on 10 March 1927. She was of mixed Bugis and Javanese descent, through her father and mother, respectively.She received an elementary education at a Dutch-run school for indigenous Indonesians. By the 1940s she had become involved in the theatre, and married Hardjo Samidi. During the Indonesian National Revolution, while her husband was held by the returning Dutch colonial forces, Hardi eked out a living on her own. In late 1949 Hardi and her husband moved to Jakarta. Two years later she made her feature film debut in a bit role in the Produksi Film Negara (PFN; State Film Corporation)'s Untuk Sang Merah Putih. The following year she took a starring role in another PFN film, Si Pintjang, portraying an old woman; as she was only twenty-four, she was artificially aged with make-up. That same year she appeared as the lead love interest in Selamat Berdjuang, Masku!, a Djakarta Film production.Hardi completed four other films in 1951. Over the next decade Hardi appeared in more than a dozen films, often in mother roles, for a number of companies, including Perfini's Terimalah Laguku (1952) and Tjambuk Api (1958), Gabungan Artis Film's Pulang (1952), Bintang Surabaja's Pelarian dari Pagar Besi (1951), and Kino Drama Atelier's Gadis Olahraga (1951). She also started a short-lived company, Budaya Film (literally 'Culture Film'), which had a single production: Uang Palsu (1955), directed by Hasan Basry R.M. By April 1955 she and Samidi, who was working as an employee of the censorship bureau, had two children: Hartati and Pradjono. In the mid-1960s, despite the film industry stagnating in Indonesia's economic and political turmoils, Hardi remained active. She appeared in five films between 1964 and 1967, winning a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Petir Sepandjang Malam. During the 1970s and early 1980s she was mainly active in supporting roles – often as mother figures.She had also found success on television with the TVRI series , which debuted in 1973 and continued until <mask>'s death. On the show, she portrayed the wife of Awaludin, with a number of younger actors playing their children. The success of this programme led to numerous imitations. Despite her popular success, however, Hardi was sinking into debt. On 18 June 1984, she was found dead in her Jakarta home, having hanged herself. In her suicide note, Hardi wrote that she had been driven to kill herself by her debts; she owed five million rupiah to her arisan group. In one letter, to fellow actor , she wrote that suicide "was the best road" for her.In another letter, to TVRI, she asked the company to take care of affairs related to her burial. In a column, the journalist-cum-actor  wrote that her death was all the more shocking owing to Hardi's frequent portrayal of strong, wise mothers, to whom millions of viewers could turn when they felt themselves lost in the bustle of modern life. Similar sentiments were expressed in an obituary in Tempo: "now we have all become orphans". Awards
Hardi won a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress at the Indonesian Film Festival for her performance as Djafar's mother in Petir Sepandjang Malam in 1967. In 1981 she was nominated for a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Grandmother in Busana dalam Mimpi, but lost out to Mieke Wijaya of Kembang Semusim. Filmography
During her more than two decades as an actress, <mask> appeared in some seventy-three roles. Musim Melati (1950)
