Podcast appearances and mentions of wallace reid

Vamos a hablar de gente famosa que ha sido piloto. Por ejemplo artistas, músicos, políticos, delincuentes, policías y ¡hasta narcotraficantes! Hay de todo. Como siempre, trataremos de sorprender a nuestros seguidores… y nos esforzamos en hacer videos diferentes. Nos gusta la historia del automóvil, la técnica, la competición, pero también las curiosidades y en este caso hay muchas como. Porque, ¿sabes que es lo contrario a la “pole position”? 1. Pablo Escobar. Llamado por mucho “El patrón del mal” Pablo Escobar, antes de convertirse en el narcotraficante que ha movido más droga en toda la historia y de ser el asesino civil más grande del S.XX… pues fue piloto de carreras. 2. Slim Borgudd. La historia del sueco Karl Edward Tommy Borgudd, más conocido por Slim Borgudd1946 y fallecido este mismo año, es curiosa. Fue batería de uno de los grupos más famosos del Mundo, nada menos que ABBA, llegó a puntuar en la F1 y fue Campeón de Europa de camiones. 3. Mister Bean. Digo… Rowan Atkinson. Y es que Mr. Bean no solo es un crack a los mandos de su Mini. Comenzó en el mundo de la competición conduciendo un Renault 5 GT Turbo… Es coleccionista y tiene, entre otros, un McLaren F1 y un Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. 4. Johnny Hallyday. A Hallyday muchos le consideraban el “Elvis francés”. Su afición por las motos era impresionante, de hecho, decía que “ser motero no es una pasión, es una religión” … ¡bien dicho Johnny! Y luego se pasó a los coches. copiloto. Consiguió acabar la prueba y hacer una inolvidable fiesta de celebración. 5. Paul Newman. Pocas bromas con la Carrera deportiva de Paul Newman: Debutó con 48 “primaveras”, estuvo en activo como piloto hasta nada menos que los 83 años y llegó a quedar segundo en las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Por cierto, que Paul “contagió” su pasión a otro “famosillo”, Tom Cruise. 6. Paul Walker. El actor Paul Walker nos dejó en 2013 pero sin duda era un gran amante del automóvil. Fue muy conocido por su papel en la serie de películas “The Fast and the Furious” o “A todo gas”, como prefiráis, en las que hacía de policía guaperas infiltrado en una banda. Paul llegó a competir en las pruebas Redline Time Attack. 7. Wallace Reid. Un pionero, porque tiene el título honorifico de ser el primer actor piloto. Nos vamos al comienzo del S.XX, cuando Wallace Reid era una estrella de la época muda de Hollywood. Pero el venía del mundo del motor y de la prensa, porque era periodista de Motor Magazine. 8. Santiago López Valdivieso. No, no es un actor famoso, fue director de la Guardia Civil entre 1996 hasta 2004. Pero es un gran aficionado a los coches hasta el punto de participar en rallyes de tierra y, sobre todo, en la Copa Hyundai, que fue donde le conocí. 9. James Dean. Un clásico de estás listas. Era un gran aficionado al mundo de las carreras y un asiduo a las competiciones de club que se realizaban en Palm Springs y en todo el resto de California. No creo que hubiese dejado huella en la competición como sí lo hizo en el cine, pero nunca lo sabremos por culpa de su accidente fatal con un Porsche 550 Spyder. 10. Steve McQueen. Otro “fijo” en estas listas. Y eso que no hizo una verdadera carrera deportiva, como por ejemplo Paul Newman. Participó en pruebas menores, pero cuando se juntaban el cine y los coches, nos dio verdaderos buenos momentos. 11. James Garner. James Garner se contagió de la pasión por los coches después de su papel en la película Grand Prix, probablemente una de las mejores, sino la mejor, película sobre F1 y dirigida nada menos que por John Frankenheimer en 1966. 12. Gene Hackman. Hackman me encanta como actor y ha sido un piloto más que decente. Participó en los años 70 en pruebas del SCCA Formula Ford o sea las Sport Club of America con resultados más que decentes y por fin, en 1983 consiguió un volante para las 24 horas de Daytona con un Toyota Celica de Dan Gurney. 12+1. Patrick Dempsey. Dempsey ha declarado en más de una ocasión que si pudiera lo dejaría todo para dedicarse a las carreras. ¡Eso es afición! Compite siempre con Porsche entre otras cosas porque tiene un contrato como imagen de marca. Ha participado unas cuantas veces en las 24 Horas de Le Mans y en algunas pruebas del Campeonato del Mundo de Resistencia. 14. Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise es famoso entre otras cosas no suele usar “dobles de riesgo”. Y no es malo conduciendo coches de competición… no creo en le envidia sana, así que me da una envidia muy insana porque le dejaron probar el Red Bull de David Coulthard. 15. Paul Belmondo. Paul es famoso por dos motivos. El primero, ser hijo del extraordinario actor francés Jean-Paul Belmondo. El segundo, por inventar el concepto de la “pole belmondo” en contraposición a la “pole position”… porque siempre clasificaba el último…

86: Scott McGee on Hollywood's Greatest Stunts • Ed Lorusso on a Wallace Reid DVD Kickstarter by Michael Gebert

Today Episode is about a former World Champion boxer, who fought from Welterweight all the way to Heavyweight and an Early Hollywood actor. He was controversial in and out of the ring. And frankly, I think he liked being like that. From his invention of the “corkscrew punch” (a punch that added a twist to the moment of impact which made for an excellent way to slice and open up opponents' faces)to his 10 marriages to eight different woman, conviction of manslaughter and eventual suicide. McCoy was always known as someone who loved to play tricks inside the ring, for example, he lulled the reigning welterweight champion Tommy Ryan into a false sense of security before their fight by rubbing flour on his face and pretending to be ill. McCoy was also alleged to have invented the ruse of informing his opponent that his shoe was untied to enable McCoy to strike a blow when the unwary adversary would look down at his feet. He also would sometimes stop in the middle of a fight to convince his opponent to check out the pretty lady in the front row and when this worked, the distracted opposition was met with a McCoy right-hand. Furthermore, He appeared in films, including a scene fighting Wallace Reid in the 1922 film, The World's Champion. McCoy was also friends with many movie stars of the day, including Charles Chaplin and director D.W. Griffith, who directed the 1919 silent film, Broken Blossoms, Selby's second film as actor.

Piece based on Rudolph Valentino image by Kenneth Lyons. "The sepia-toned, high contrast 1925 photo portrait of silent movie star, Rudolph Valentino by renowned studio glamour photographer, Russell Ball, depicts a mid-shot Valentino, in profile, in a suit of the day looking beyond the frame in a fixed gaze. In his right hand, he holds a pipe, posed and in pause. The high contrast lighting employed throws a silhouette of the pipe in his hand onto his suit and casts a solid shadow behind him providing contrast and foregrounding to his light coloured suit. The jawline of the actor is strengthened and heightened by this attention to light and shadow. With this fixed gaze, carefully positioned posture and the elegant but firm manner in which his hand holds the pipe, this is portrait of contrasts - not only in studio technique but also in perception.    "The photographer’s approach to the portrait conveys a masculine strength in the sitter; a quality that wasn’t afforded him by many of his critics (mostly American males) of the day who found Valentino’s dandy-like style in his attention to dress, his performance style as a romantic lead on the screen and perhaps, his Italian heritage cast as the Latin Lover, somewhat of a threat to notions of the all-American male. An actor like Wallace Reid or Douglas Fairbanks in style and public persona, both screen contemporaries of Valentino’s, he was not!  "In 1923, while on strike from his studio and out of work, Valentino delved into the occult and Spiritualism, a fashion for the time and penned and published a slim volume of poems called, ‘DayDreams’. It was claimed by his ex-wife, costume designer, Natasha Rambova shortly after Valentino’s sudden death in 1926, that he wrote these ‘psychic’ poems while in a state of trance, communicating with his spirit guides and other writers who had passed. Also in 1923, Valentino recorded and released a popular song of the day, ‘Kashmiri Song’ backed by ‘El Relicario’. The lyrics of ‘Kashmiri Song’ were based on a 1901 poem, ‘The Garden of Kama’ by Adela Florence Nicolson aka Laurence Hope. These are the only two known recordings of the silent screen star’s voice. Both recordings have now entered the public domain. https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/rudolph-valentino-1923 "My creative response to the Russell Ball portrait of Valentino, is to explore its contrasts as outlined above; the shadows, the light, the ambiguous personification of its sitter. I was also particularly drawn to the strength projected in, yet elegant handling of the pipe. In thinking about sonic textures and contrasts and curious as to whether any voice recordings of Valentino existed, I chanced upon ‘Kashmiri Song’. Listening to it and looking at the portrait, one lyric, “pale hands I loved” resonated immediately. Familiar with the story of Valentino and his ‘psychic poems’, I was inspired to create an invocation, a sonic seance of sorts calling on the spirit of Rudolph Valentino. The line, “where are you now” felt like the missing piece of a creative puzzle and the right fit for the medium of this sonic seance. With ‘Kashmiri Song’ now in the public domain, I decided to use only elements of this recording as the source for all of the sounds in my response, “Valentino : Pale Hands, Where Are You Now?” The sound piece needed to respond to the idea of contrasts perceived in the original photograph as well as the persona of the sitter. To this end, I maintained some of the grit and scratch contained in the original recording and employed extensive processing and sampling of the source recording to construct a lush, romantic and nostalgic reverie of tones and beats with which to play against its raw and scratchy artifacts; its light and dark."

Was Davenport the black widow that Anger suggests, or should she be remembered as a pioneering female writer, producer and director?  Learn more about your ad choices.
