Great Shakespeare actors : Burbage to Branagh / by Wells, Stanley,1930-author.(CARDINAL)336385;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-292) and index.Introduction -- Prelude: William Shakespeare -- Richard Burbage -- Will Kemp -- Robert Armin -- Thomas Betterton -- Charles Macklin -- David Garrick -- Who was the first great Shakespeare actress? -- Sarah Siddons -- George Frederick Cooke -- John Philip Kemble -- Dora Jordan -- Edmund Kean -- William Charles Macready -- Helen Faucit -- Who was the first great American Shakespeare actor? -- Ira Aldridge -- Charlotte Cushman -- Edwin Booth -- Henry Irving -- Ellen Terry -- Tommaso Salvini -- Times of change -- Edith Evans -- Sybil Thorndike -- Charles Laughton -- Donald Wolfit -- Ralph Richardson -- John Gielgud -- Laurence Olivier -- Peggy Ashcroft -- Michael Redgrave -- Paul Scofield -- Donald Sinden -- Richard Pasco -- Ian Richardson -- Judi Dench -- Derek Jacobi -- Ian McKellen -- Janet Suzman -- Antony Sher -- Simon Russell Beale -- Kenneth Branagh.Great Shakespeare Actors offers a series of essays on great Shakespeare actors from his time to ours, starting by asking whether Shakespeare himself was the first--the answer is No--and continuing with essays on the men and women who have given great stage performances in his plays from Elizabethan times to our own. They include both English and American performers such as David Garrick, Sarah Siddons, Charlotte Cushman, Ira Aldridge, Edwin Booth, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry, Edith Evans, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Peggy Ashcroft, Janet Suzman, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, and Kenneth Branagh. Individual chapters tell the story of their subjects' careers, but together these overlapping tales combine to offer a succinct, actor-centred history of Shakespearian theatrical performance. Stanley Wells examines what it takes to be a great Shakespeare actor and then offers a concise sketch of each actor's career in Shakespeare, an assessment of their specific talents and claims to greatness, and an account, drawing on contemporary reviews, biographies, anecdotes, and, for some of the more recent actors, the author's personal memories of their most notable performances in Shakespeare roles.

Betty White's pearls of wisdom :| life lessons from a beloved American treasure| by Sullivan, Patty,author,|,narrator.(CARDINAL)860533;
"Betty White's award-winning career spanned seven decades. From the early days of television on the game-show circuit to her unforgettable roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, and Hot in Cleveland, she was the first lady of television. With her irreverent wit and comedic timing, she was a force of nature forever cherished by fans young and old. In Betty White's Pearls of Wisdom readers will find a more intimate look into Betty's life as told through the eyes of Patty Sullivan, her lifelong friend and adopted family member. 'My remembrances are perhaps an echo of things already said, but I hope my stories hold up a mirror, another reflection of her essence and how she affected my life so profoundly.' Patty met Betty in the late 1960s, and the Sullivans--Patty, her husband, Tom, and their two children--enjoyed a rich relationship and amazing closeness through Betty's final days. Through her stories we see Betty's fun-loving banter over a game of Scrabble, her wisdom imparted on a moonlit Christmas sleigh ride, and her passionate advocacy for all members of the animal kingdom. Betty's uncompromising values were the authentic core of the life she lived and savored--tasting every minute along the way
