September 4, 476: The Fall Of The Western Roman Empire (The Fall Of The Roman Empire, The Fall Of Rome): -- Romulus Augustulus, last emperor and alleged usurper of the Western Roman Empire, is deposed by Odoacer, who proclaims himself "King of Italy", and thereby bringing and end to the Roman Empire in the West. Flavius Romulus Augustus (c. AD 460-after AD 476; possibly still alive as late as AD 507), known derisively and historiographically as Romulus Augustulus (Augustulus "Little Augustus"; the name Romulus was also changed derisively to Momyllus meaning "little disgrace"), was the Roman emperor who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 31 October AD 475 until 4 September AD 476. He is often described as the "last Western Roman emperor", though some historians consider this to be Julius Nepos. His deposition by Odoacer traditionally marks the end of the Roman Empire in the West, the fall of Ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Dark Ages and Middle Ages in Western Europe. The historical record contains few details of Romulus' life. He was the son of Orestes, a Roman who once served as a secretary in the court of Attila the Hun before coming into the service of Julius Nepos in AD 475. In the same year he was promoted to the rank of magister militum, but then led a military revolt that forced Nepos to flee into exile. With the capital of Ravenna under his control, Orestes appointed his son, Romulus to the throne despite the lack of support from the eastern court in Constantinople. Romulus, however, was little more than a child and figurehead for his father's rule. After ten months in power, during which time his authority and legitimacy were disputed beyond Italy, Romulus was forced to abdicate by Odoacer, a Germanic foederatus officer who defeated and executed Orestes. After seizing control of Ravenna, Odoacer sent the former emperor to live in the Castellum Lucullanum in Campania, after which he disappears from the historical record. Odoacer would himself be overthrown by Theoderic The Great, King of the Ostrogoths, at the The Battle Of Isonzo (489) during the Roman-Germanic Wars. Theoderic killed Odoacer with his own hands in 493 while they shared a meal.

September 4, 1882: Electricity: The History Of Electricity: The First Industrial Revolution/The Second Industrial Revolution (1760-1914): The Electrical Age: The History Of Electrical Engineering: Electric Power: The History Of Electric Power: Electric Power Transmission: The History Of Electric Power Transmission: Direct Current: The Pearl Street Station: -- The electrical age begins as Thomas Edison flips the switch to the first commercial electrical power plant in history, the Pearl Street Station just south of Fulton Street, lighting one square mile of lower Manhattan. Pearl Street Station was also the world's first cogeneration plant. While the steam engines provided grid electricity, Edison made use of the thermal byproduct by distributing steam to local manufacturers, and warming nearby buildings on the same Manhattan block. The Pearl Street Station cogeneration plant was located at 255-257 Pearl Street in Manhattan on a site measuring 50 by 100 feet (15 by 30 m) and fired by coal. It began with six dynamos, and it started generating electricity on September 4, 1882, serving an initial load of 400 lamps at 82 customers. By 1884, Pearl Street Station was serving 508 customers with 10,164 lamps. The station was built by the Edison Illuminating Company, which was headed by Thomas Edison. The station was originally powered by custom-made Porter-Allen high-speed steam engines designed to provide 175 horsepower at 700 rpm, but these proved to be unreliable with their sensitive governors. They were removed and replaced with new engines from Armington and Sims that proved to be much more suitable for Edison's dynamos. The station ran until it burned down in 1890, destroying all but one dynamo, which is now kept in the Greenfield Village Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The station used reciprocating steam engines to turn direct-current generators. Because of the DC distribution, the service area was small, limited by voltage drop in the feeders. The War of Currents between use of alternating current and direct current eventually resolved in favor of AC distribution and utilization, although some DC systems persisted to the end of the 20th century.

September 4, 1888: Great Inventions: Photography: The History Of Photography: The Amateur Photography Age: Cameras: The Kodak Camera (The Kodak Black Camera): -- The age of amateur photography begins as the first popular camera, the Kodak camera, is patented by George Eastman as he registers the trademark Kodak, a name he invented, a camera that uses first practicable roll film, the one Eastman patented in 1884. Before then, both apparatus and processes were too burdensome to classify photography as recreation. The "Kodak Black" took round pictures 6.4 cm (2.5 in) in diameter, was of the fixed focus type, and carried a roll of film enough for 100 exposures. The roll film used in the first model of the Kodak camera had a paper base but was soon superseded by a film with a cellulose base, a practical transparent flexible film. The first films had to be loaded into the camera and unloaded in the dark room, but the film cartridge system with its protecting strip of opaque paper made it possible to load and unload the camera in ordinary light. The Kodak Developing Machine (1900) and its simplified successor, the Kodak Film Tank, provided the means for daylight development of film, making the dark room unnecessary for any of the operations of amateur photography. The earlier types of the Kodak cameras were of the box form and of fixed focus, and as various sizes were added, devices for focusing the lenses were incorporated.

September 4, 1941: The European Civil War: World War II: The Second European War (The European Theater Of World War II): The Battle Of The Atlantic: The Greer Incident: -- The Greer Incident occurs when the US Navy destroyer USS Greer aggressively patrols over the known position of a German U-Boat submarine, and by the Greer's provocative use of its sonar equipment to send the message that the US ship might be about to conduct a depth charge attack, it goaded the U-Boat (later identified as U-652) to fire two torpedoes upon the Greer, neither of which made contact. This provocation was in keeping with an off-the-record promise Franklin D. Roosevelt made to Winston Churchil during The Atlantic Charter Conference held three weeks prior to the attack that there would be "an incident" in the Atlantic between the United States and Germany before the end of 1941. When news of the encounter reached the United States, public concern ran high. Initial reports reported that a British aircraft aided in repelling the attack. In response, Germany claimed "that the attack had not been initiated by the German submarine; on the contrary, ... the submarine had been attacked with depth bombs, pursued continuously in the German blockade zone, and assailed by depth bombs until midnight." The communique implied that the US destroyer had dropped the first depth bombs. Germany accused President Roosevelt of "endeavoring with all the means at his disposal to provoke incidents for the purpose of baiting the American people into the war." The United States Department of the Navy replied that the German claims were inaccurate and that "the initial attack in the engagement was made by the submarine on the Greer." Roosevelt made the Greer Incident the principal focus of one of his famed "fireside chats", where he explained a new order he issued as Commander-In-Chief that escalated America nearer to outright involvement in the European war. In Roosevelt's words: "The Greer was flying the American flag. Her identity as an American ship was unmistakable. She was then and there attacked by a submarine. Germany admits that it was a German submarine. The submarine deliberately fired a torpedo at the Greer, followed by another torpedo attack. In spite of what Hitler's propaganda bureau has invented, and in spite of what any American obstructionist organisation may prefer to believe, I tell you the blunt fact that the German submarine fired first upon this American destroyer without warning, and with the deliberate design to sink her." Declaring that Germany had been guilty of "an act of piracy," President Roosevelt announced what became known as his "shoot-on-sight" order: that Nazi submarines' "very presence in any waters which America deems vital to its defense constitutes an attack. In the waters which we deem necessary for our defense, American naval vessels and American planes will no longer wait until Axis submarines lurking under the water, or Axis raiders on the surface of the sea, strike their deadly blow - first... The aggression is not ours. [Our concern] is solely defence. But let this warning be clear. From now on, if German or Italian vessels of war enter the waters, the protection of which is necessary for American defence, they do so at their own peril... The sole responsibility rests upon Germany. There will be no shooting unless Germany continues to seek it." Senator David I. Walsh (Democrat-Massachusetts), isolationist Chair of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, scheduled a committee hearing to unearth the details of the incident, which prompted Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, to issue a written report. Stark's account, made public in October 1941, confirmed that the Greer dropped its charges only after the submarine fired its first torpedo at it, but revealed that the Greer had gone in search of the submarine after its presence was noted by the British aircraft. Admiral Stark's report stated: "At 0840 that morning, Greer, carrying mail and passengers to Iceland, "was informed by a British plane of the presence of a submerged submarine about 10 miles [(16 km)] directly ahead... Acting on the information from the British plane the Greer proceeded to search for the submarine and at 0920 she located the submarine directly ahead by her underwater sound equipment. The Greer proceeded then to trail the submarine and broadcast the submarine's position. This action, taken by the Greer, was in accordance with her orders, that is, to give out information but not to attack." The British plane continued in the vicinity of the submarine until 1032, but prior to her departure the plane dropped four depth charges in the vicinity of the submarine. The Greer maintained [its] contact until about 1248. During this period (three hours 28 minutes), the Greer manoeuvred so as to keep the submarine ahead. At 1240 the submarine changed course and closed the Greer. At 1245 an impulse bubble (indicating the discharge of a torpedo by the submarine) was sighted close aboard the Greer. At 1249 a torpedo track was sighted crossing the wake of the ship from starboard to port, distant about 100 yards [(100 m)] astern. At this time the Greer lost sound contact with the submarine. At 1300 the Greer started searching for the submarine and at 1512... the Greer made underwater contact with a submarine. The Greer attacked immediately with depth charges." Stark went on to report that the result of the encounter was undetermined, although most assumed from the German response that the sub had survived. In fact, U-652 had indeed survived and promptly headed west to participate in the devastating U-boat pack attack on convoy SC-42 in early September. Historian Charles A. Beard would later write that Admiral Stark's report to the Senate Committee "made the President's statement... appear in some respects inadequate, and, in others, incorrect." In his postwar summary of the Stark report, Beard emphasised that (1) the Greer had chased the sub and held contact with the sub for 3 hours and 28 minutes before the sub fired its first torpedo; (2) the Greer then lost contact with the sub, searched, and after re-establishing contact two hours later, attacked immediately with depth charges, then (3) searched for three more hours before proceeding to its destination. The Stark report's account of how the Greer's engagement began caused Pulitzer-prizewinning New York Times reporter Arthur Krock to address it (and the Nazi sub engagements with the Kearny, and the Reuben James) when speaking about "who 'attacked' whom." Krock defined the term "attack" as "an onset, an aggressive initiation of combat, a move which is the antithesis of 'defense.'" "In that definition," he said, "all three of our destroyers attacked the German submarines." #GreerIncident #TheGreerIncident #USSGreer #DD145 #FalseFlag #WarProvocations #FranklinDRoosevelt #WinstonChurchill #AtlanticCharter #AtlanticCharterConference #GermanSubmarines #UBoats #U652 #RattlesnakesOfTheAtlantic #BattleOfTheAtlantic #Sonar #Torpedoes #NaziGermany #Germany #UnitedStates #US #USNavy #USN #Kriegsmarine #BetweenTheWars #InterwarPeriod #CausesOfWorldWarII #CausesOfWWII #EventsLeadingToWorldWarII #EventsLeadingToWWII #RoadToWorldWarII #RoadToWWII #RoadToWar #CausesOfWorldWarII #CausesOfWWII #EventsLeadingToWorldWarII #EventsLeadingToWWII #WorldWarII #WWII #WW2 #WorldWarTwo #WorldWar2 #SecondWorldWar #MP4 #VideoDownload #DVD On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT! https://store.earthstation1.com/between-the-wars-dvd-set-all-16-tv-shows-4-discs164.html

It had been occupied by Nazi Germany on May 18, 1940, During and after the British 11th Armoured Division liberation of Antwerp, the Germans attempted to destroy the Port of Antwerp, which was being used by the Allies to bring supplies materiale ashore, by raining thousands of V-Weapon missiles upon the city, particuarly the Rheinbote (V-4) missile, the V-1 flying bomb, and more V-2 missiles than was used on all other targets during the entire war combined. These missiles caused severe damage to the city, but failed to destroy the port due to poor accuracy. After the war, Antwerp once again became a major European centre of Haredi (and particularly Hasidic) Orthodox Judaism, which had already had a sizeable Jewish population before the war.

The catalyst for the rioting was an announced concert by black singer Paul Robeson, who was well known for his strong pro-trade union stance, civil rights activism, communist affiliations, and anti-colonialism. The concert, organized as a benefit for the Civil Rights Congress, was scheduled to take place on August 27 in Lakeland Acres, just north of Peekskill. The Civil Rights Congress (CRC) was formed in 1946 at a national conference for radicals and disbanded in 1956. It succeeded the International Labor Defense, the National Federation for Constitutional Liberties, and the National Negro Congress, serving as a defense organization. Beginning about 1948, it became involved in representing African Americans sentenced to death and other highly prominent cases, in part to highlight racial injustice in the United States. After Rosa Lee Ingram and her two teenage sons were sentenced in Georgia, the CRC conducted a national appeals campaign on their behalf, their first for African Americans.

Known variously as the Treaty of San Francisco, Peace Treaty with Japan, Treaty of Peace with Japan, Peace Treaty of San Francisco, or San Francisco Peace Treaty, it was mostly a treaty between Japan and the Allied Powers, and was officially signed by 48 nations. According to Article 11 of the Treaty, Japan accepts the judgments of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and of other Allied War Crimes Courts imposed on Japan both within and outside Japan. This treaty served to officially end Japan' position as an imperial power, to allocate compensation to Allied civilians and former prisoners of war who had suffered Japanese war crimes during World War II, and to end the Allied post-war occupation of Japan and return sovereignty to that nation. This treaty made extensive use of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to enunciate the Allies' goals.

The U.S. Supreme Court had issued its historic and unanimous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas ruling on May 17, 1954, declaring that according to the 14th Amendment, all laws that established segregated schools were unconstitutional, and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation. Governor Faubus defied this decision in preventing the Little Rock Nine from enrolling in Central High School three years after the SCOTUS ruling. The students did successfully attend Central High School after the military intervention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, when on September 24, the President ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock (without its black soldiers, who rejoined the division a month later) to enforce the SCOTUS ruling, and he federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard, taking it out of the hands of Faubus.

September 4, 1970: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Cold War: The Cold War In South America: Chile: The History Of Chile:The 1970 Chilean Presidential Election: The Election Of Salvador Allende As President Of Chile: -- The first Marxist to be elected president of a Latin American liberal democracy, and the first Marxist to win the presidency of a Latin American country through open elections, occurs when Salvador Allende is elected President of Chile. Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens (June 26, 1908 - September 11, 1973) was a Chilean physician and socialist politician who served as the 29th president of Chile from November 3, 1970 until his death on September 11, 1973. Allende's involvement in Chilean politics spanned a period of nearly forty years, having covered the posts of senator, deputy and cabinet minister. As a life-long committed member of the Socialist Party of Chile, whose foundation he had actively contributed to, he unsuccessfully ran for the national presidency in the 1952, 1958, and 1964 elections. In 1970, he won the presidency as the candidate of the Popular Unity coalition, in a close three-way race. He was elected in a run-off by Congress, as no candidate had gained a majority. As president, Allende sought to nationalize major industries, expand education and improve the living standards of the working class. He clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On September 11, 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'etat supported by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). As troops surrounded La Moneda Palace, he gave his last speech vowing not to resign. Later that day, Allende committed suicide though there has been some controversy about the cause of his death with some believing it to be an assassination. Following Allende's death, General Augusto Pinochet refused to return authority to a civilian government, and Chile was later ruled by a military junta until 1990, ending more than four decades of uninterrupted democratic governance. The military junta that took over dissolved the Congress of Chile, suspended the Constitution, and began a program of persecuting alleged dissidents, in which at least 3,095 civilians disappeared or were killed.

September 4: Eat An Extra Dessert Day: -- The dictionary definition of the word dessert might mean "a sweet food eaten at the end of a meal," but today, you get an instant replay on that! So don't hold back - you can indulge in dessert any time during the day and even sneak to the refrigerator after bedtime to have that last slice of cake. We wish we knew who the creator of this delightfully sweet holiday was so we can thank them and give them a huge slice of cake. Unfortunately, the origins of this day are lost in time, but we can make up for it by enjoying the range of desserts on offer. For many, dessert is a much-anticipated highlight and a meal without some kind of mouthwatering finale seems incomplete. Some items are typical of the dessert menu. Cakes, pies, cookies, and ice cream are customarily served at the end of a meal, but if you plan on having sweet food any time of the day, then anything sweet will do. The term dessert stems from the French word 'desservir,' meaning 'to clear the table.' After the main meal the table is cleared of used dishes and dessert is then served. Sweet food items have been around forever and it is not clear which was the first dessert, but ice cream dates back to 3000 B.C. and is a possibility. The evolution of the dessert was propelled by the use of fruit and sugar. Sugar was used in India before 500 B.C., from where it made its way to China and Macedonia over the next 1,000 years. By the 12th century, the sugar trade expanded to Europe and dessert production rocketed after the Industrial Revolution when preservatives and the processing of food changed for the better. Today, recipe development has reached new heights and there is a variety of interesting ingredients available. Visual presentation and colorful garnishing have become popular and important factors in raising baking and dessert making into a culinary art form. https://store.earthstation1.com/tv-commercials-the-classics-vol-1-dv1.html

September 4: National Wildlife Day: -- An annual encouragement to improve awareness of the species around us and in the broader world. This National Day focuses on endangered species, preservation, and conservation efforts around the world. Zoos, aviaries and marine sanctuaries provide a variety of ways to get involved. No matter where you live, opportunities abound to learn and participate in the day. Wildlife doesn't only exist in the forest or outside the city limits. Look closely. The creatures and animals sharing our world live under our feet and in the sky above us. Our rivers, lakes and oceans are teeming with wildlife of all sizes. It's essential to understand how we impact the habitats that animals need to survive. Their homes supply their food and shelter. Since wildlife relies on a stable habitat, understanding conservation and preservation is important. Developing strategies helps to maintain existing habitats and repair or replace those that have been destroyed. These strategies are especially important when a decline in a species is detected. For example, each year in August, International Whale Shark Day brings attention to the plight of the world's largest fish. Despite efforts, the gentle giant continues to decline in numbers. Around the world, facilities and organizations will present seminars and educational programs. Additionally, podcasts and documentaries alert us to the changing conditions for various species around the world. Some may be as close as your own backyard. From the sky to the depths of the ocean, wildlife surrounds us. To observe National Wildlife Day: Participate in a presentation. Volunteer to fund-raise for rehabilitation services. Other ways to celebrate the day include learning about the needs of endangered species and how conservation efforts work; While learning, implement your own techniques, as suggested by preservationists; Go on a wildlife walk and learn about the inhabitants near you.

September 4: National Newspaper Carrier Day: -- An annual day to recognize the dedicated newspaper carriers who deliver the news in the wee hours of the morning! A lot has changed since the first newspaper carrier. Not only have the routines changed, but their methods and the age of the people delivering has changed, too. However, the newspaper carrier still exists in some form. Each and every newspaper carrier owe their start to an enterprising young immigrant in New York City over 180 years ago. As the tradition gradually fades, their history becomes no less fascinating. According to a captioned photo released by the Museum of the City of New York, The Sun's publisher Benjamin Day hired the first paperboy on Septemeber 4, 1833. A 10-year-old Barney Flaherty answered the advertisement that September day. And although the ad specified for "steady men" to apply, Flaherty so impressed the editor that Day was so impressed by the boy's sincerity; he gave him the job. Down on the corner, passersby soon heard Flaherty hawking his sales pitch. Eventually, the universal chorus of boys (and sometimes girls) calling, "Paper! Get your paper, here!" could be heard on the streets selling papers. "A number of steady men can find employment by vending this paper. A liberal discount is allowed to those who buy to sell again." - Benjamin Day's 1833 advertisement in The Sun. In 1960, The Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame was created. It acknowledges some famous newspaper carriers in our nation's history, too. Included in the Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame are Martin Luther King Jr., Warren Buffet, and John Wayne. https://store.earthstation1.com/newspaper-publishing-history-dvd.html

September 4: E Day:-- September 4, 1957: The Industrial Revolution: The Third Industrial Revolution (1947-Present): The Automotive Industry: The History Of The Automobile: The History Of The Automotive Industry: Product Rollouts: Automobile Rollouts: E Day (The Rollout Of The Ford Edsel): -- The Ford Motor Company introduces the Edsel automobile amid considerable publicity on "E Day". They were also promoted by a top-rated television special, The Edsel Show, on October 13, 1957, but the promotional effort was not enough to counter the adverse initial public reaction to Edsel styling and unconventional build. After the launch date, Edsel was described as a "reborn LaSalle," a General Motors brand that had disappeared in 1940. For months, Ford had been telling the industry press that it "knew" (through its market research) that there would be great demand for the vehicles. Ford also insisted that, in the Edsels, it had built exactly the "entirely new kind of car" that Ford had been leading the buying public to expect through its preintroduction publicity campaign for the cars. In reality, however, Edsels shared their engineering and bodywork with other Ford models, and the similarities were apparent once the vehicles were viewed firsthand. Edsel is an automobile brand that was planned, developed, and manufactured by the Ford Motor Company for model years 1958 to 1960. With the Edsel brand, Ford had expected to make significant inroads into the market share of both General Motors (GM) and Chrysler and close the gap between itself and GM in the domestic American automotive market. Ford invested heavily in a yearlong teaser campaign leading consumers to believe that Edsels were the cars of the future - an expectation they failed to meet. After being unveiled to the public, they were considered to be unattractive, overpriced, and overhyped. Edsels never gained popularity with contemporary American car buyers and sold poorly. The Ford Motor Company lost 250M USD on Edsel development, manufacturing, and marketing. The very name "Edsel" became a popular symbol for a commercial failure. Despite this, the project would see longer-term benefits for the company, as Ford invested over 100M USD to build compact cars over the 1960s, such as the successful 1960 Ford Comet, essentially an Edsel with a Ford Falcon body. While the Edsel trademark vertical grille saw a nearly universal negative response by contemporary buyers and critics, multiple subsequent automobile manufacturers have employed narrow vertically-oriented grilles with greater success in the marketplace, including Pontiac, Jaguar, Subaru, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, and Saab. Through technological advances, multiple features introduced by Edsel cars, including self-adjusting brakes, automatic climate control, steering wheel-mounted transmission controls, and childproof rear door locks are no longer impractical ideas, but included in many current production features as options or standard equipment. More than half a century after its spectacular failure, Edsels have become highly collectible items among vintage car hobbyists. Fewer than 10,000 Edsels survive and they are considered valuable collector's items. A mint-condition Edsel convertible from any of its three model years may sell for over 100M USD as of 2023. The rarest Edsel by body style is the 1960 Ranger convertible: only 76 were built; 25 survive as of 2023. The rarest Edsel by model is the 1960 Ranger deluxe interior 4-door hardtop, model 57B. Originally intended to be released as the 1960 Corsair, only 31 units were produced. https://store.earthstation1.com/and-away-we-go-american-automobile-history-dvd.html

September 4, 1870: The Unification Of Germany (German: Deutsche Einigung): The Franco-Prussian War (The Franco-German War, The War Of 1870): The Battle Of Sedan: The Deposition Of Emperor Napoleon III Of France: -- Having suffered a humiliating defeat and capture by the Germans, Napoleon III, having left for a comfortable captivity in Schloss Wilhelmshohe near Kassel, Germany, is deposed as head of The French Second Republic as Napoleon's soldiers, who viewed his departure with indifference, marched under heavy rain to an improvised German POW camp, where they starved for the next week. The capture of the French emperor left the Prussians without an opposing government willing to make a quick peace. Commenting on the difficult situation, two days after news hit Paris of Emperor Napoleon III's capture, his wife said, "Why didn't he kill himself?" The same day, a group of protesters stormed the Imperial palace and the Second French Empire collapsed in a bloodless revolution, leading to the creation of a Government of National Defense which would carry on the war for five more months before becoming the French Third Republic. The defeat at Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III and France's second line army, and with the first line French Army shut up in Metz, sealed the doom of France, thus decided the outcome of the war in Prussia's favor. By September 19, the Prussian Third and Fourth Armies went on to besiege Paris. In recognition of the role this battle played in German Unification, many Germans celebrated Sedantag (Day of Sedan) on each September 2 until 1919. The Kaiser himself refused to declare September 2 an official holiday; instead, it became an unofficial day of celebration. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-western-tradition-dvd-set-all-52-shows-13-d5213.html

September 4, 1939: The European Civil War: World War II: The Second European War (The European Theater Of World War II): Aviation: Military Aviation: Air Warfare Of World War II: -- A Bristol Blenheim is the first British aircraft to cross the German coast following the declaration of war and German ships are bombed. The Bristol Blenheim is a British light bomber aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company that was used extensively in the first two years of the Second World War. The Type 142 first flew in April 1935, and the Air Ministry, impressed by its performance, ordered a modified design as the Type 142M to serve in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a bomber. Deliveries of the newly named Blenheim to RAF squadrons commenced on the 10th of March 1937. The Blenheim was one of the first British aircraft to feature an all-metal stressed-skin construction, retractable landing gear, flaps, a powered gun turret and variable-pitch propellers. The design of the Blenheim proved to be readily adaptable, and was modified to serve in roles such as an interim long-range fighter and as a night fighter, pending the availability of a more advanced fighter derivative of the Blenheim, the Beaufighter. A more capable bomber derivative, the Beaufort, was also developed, being both larger and heavier than the Blenheim. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-world-at-war-dvd-1942-motion-pic1942.html

September 4, 1928: #BOTD: #HBD! Dick York, American radio, stage, film, and television actor, best remembered for his role as the first Darrin Stephens on the ABC fantasy sitcom Bewitched, and whose best-known motion-picture role was as teacher Bertram Cates in the film Inherit the Wind (1960) (d. February 20, 1992) is #born Richard Allen York in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Betty, a seamstress, and Bernard York, a salesman. Dick York grew up in Chicago, where a Catholic nun first recognized his vocal promise. He began his career at the age of 15 as the star of the CBS radio program That Brewster Boy. He also appeared in hundreds of other radio shows and instructional films before heading to New York City, where he acted on Broadway in Tea and Sympathy and Bus Stop. He performed with stars including Paul Muni and Joanne Woodward in live television broadcasts and with Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, and Glenn Ford in movies, including My Sister Eileen and Cowboy. While filming the movie They Came to Cordura (1959) with Gary Cooper and Rita Hayworth, he suffered a permanent, disabling back injury. In York's own words, "Gary Cooper and I were propelling a handcar carrying several 'wounded' men down [the] railroad track. I was on the bottom stroke of this sort of teeter-totter mechanism that made the handcar run. I was just lifting the handle up as the director yelled 'cut!' and one of the 'wounded' cast members reached up and grabbed the handle. Now, instead of lifting the expected weight, I was suddenly, jarringly, lifting his entire weight off the flatbed-180 pounds or so. The muscles along the right side of my back tore. They just snapped and let loose. And that was the start of it all: the pain, the painkillers, the addiction, the lost career." York's injury did not immediately end his career. In 1960, a year after York's injury, he played Bertram Cates (modeled on John Thomas Scopes, of "Monkey Trial" fame) in the film version of Inherit the Wind. York went on to star with Gene Kelly and Leo G. Carroll in the ABC comedy-drama Going My Way (1962). York was cast in the series, which lasted one season, as Tom Colwell, who operates a secular youth center. York appeared in dozens of episodes of now-classic television series, including Justice, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Untouchables, Rawhide, The Americans, Wagon Train, Father Knows Best, and CBS's The Twilight Zone and Route 66. York was cast as Darrin Stephens in the 1960s sitcom Bewitched as Samantha's (Elizabeth Montgomery) mortal husband. The show was a huge success and York was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1968. The crew built York a slanted wall for him to lean on in between scenes, which, during the first two seasons, allowed York to manage his back injury with little difficulty. Halfway through the third season, York's back injury was aggravated into a painful degenerative spine condition, frequently causing shooting delays while York required assistance to walk around. Sometimes, York would seize up in debilitating pain, so the scripts for some of his later episodes on Bewitched were written around his being in bed or on the couch for the entire episode. York did not appear in a handful of seasons-three and four episodes, and by halfway through season five, was barely appearing at all, causing the series to focus more on Samantha and other members of her family, with mentions that Darrin was away on business. While filming the fifth-season episode "Daddy Does His Thing", York fell ill: "I was too sick to go on. I had a temperature of 105, full of strong antibiotics, for almost 10 days. I went to work that day, but I was sick. I lay in my dressing room after being in make-up, waiting to be called on the set. They knew I was feeling pretty rotten, and they tried to give me time to rest. I kept having chills. This was the middle of the summer and I was wearing a sheepskin jacket and I was chilling. I was shaking all over. Then, while sitting on a scaffolding with Maurice Evans, being lit for a special-effects scene: They were setting an inky - that's a little tiny spot[light] that was supposed to be just flickering over my eyes. That flickering, flickering, flickering made me feel weird. And I'm sitting on this platform up in the air...and I turned to Gibby, who was just down below, and I said, 'Gibby, I think I have to get down.' He started to help me down and that's the last thing I remember until I woke up on the floor. That's about all I remember of the incident...and I'd managed to bite a very large hole in the side of my tongue before they could pry my teeth apart." From York's hospital bed, director William Asher and he discussed York's future. "Do you want to quit?" Asher asked. "If it's all right with you, Billy," York replied. With that, York left the sitcom to devote himself to recovery. He never again returned to the set. Dick Sargent replaced York in the role of Darrin Stephens, taking over the role at the start of the series' sixth season (1969-1970) and continuing in the part until the series ended after its eighth season (1971-1972). Sargent was originally offered the role of Darrin in 1964, but turned it down to do a short-lived sitcom called Broadside. For the next 18 months, York was largely bed-ridden in a haze of prescription painkillers. In his memoir, The Seesaw Girl and Me, published posthumously, he describes the struggle to break his addiction and come to grips with the loss of his career. The book is in large part a love letter to his wife, Joan (nee Alt), the seesaw girl of the title, who stuck with him through the hard times. He then quit drugs cold turkey, which led to six months of difficult withdrawal and recovery. "I had a band playing in my head, bagpipes night and day," York recalled. "It just went on and on and on and on and on... The fans whisper to you and the walls whisper to you and you look at television and sometimes it flashes in a certain way that sends you into a fit and you know that your wife has put her hand in your mouth so you won't bite off your tongue. You can't sleep. You hallucinate. I used to make a tape recording of rain so I could listen to the rain lying in bed at night to drown out those damned bagpipes." York eventually beat his addiction, and in the early 1980s tried to revive his career. His last two credits were on two primetime television series, Simon & Simon and Fantasy Island. York was a three-pack-a-day smoker for much of his life and often smoked cigarettes on the set of Bewitched; he spent his final years battling emphysema. By 1989, he was using an oxygen tank to help him breathe. While bedridden in his Rockford, Michigan, home, he founded Acting for Life, a private charity to help the homeless and others in need. Using his telephone as his pulpit, York motivated politicians, business people, and the general public to contribute supplies and money. Despite his suffering, York said, "I've been blessed. I have no complaints. I've been surrounded by people in radio, on stage, and in motion pictures and television who love me. The things that have gone wrong have been simply physical things." York died of complications from emphysema at Blodgett Hospital in East Grand Rapids, Michigan, on February 20, 1992, at age 63. He is buried in Plainfield Cemetery in Rockford, Michigan. https://store.earthstation1.com/teenagers-classic-youth-social-guidance-films-dvd-set-2-disc2.html

September 4, 1862: The American Civil War (The Civil War, The War Between The States): The Eastern Theater Of The American Civil War: The Maryland Campaign (The Antietam Campaign): -- General Robert E. Lee leads his Army Of Northern Virginia in the war's first Confederate invasion of the American North, marking the beginning of The Maryland Campaign which would last until September 20. Following his victory in the Northern Virginia Campaign, Lee moved north with 55,000 men through the Shenandoah Valley starting on September 4, 1862. He and his forces were repulsed by The Army Of The Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, who moved to intercept Lee and his Army Of Northern Virginia, and who eventually attacked it near Sharpsburg, Maryland. The resulting Battle Of Antietam (known as The Battle Of Sharpsburg in the South) was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with over 22,000 casualties, and is widely considered one of the major turning points of the war. Lee's objective was to resupply his army from outside of the war-torn, supply-depleted Virginia theater, and to damage Northern morale in anticipation of the November elections. He undertook the risky maneuver of splitting his army so that he could continue north into Maryland while simultaneously capturing the Federal garrison and arsenal at Harpers Ferry, the site of John Brown's failed insurrection which sparked a long fuse of towards the outbreak of The Civil War. McClellan accidentally found a copy of Lee's orders to his subordinate commanders, and used it in a plan to isolate and defeat the separated portions of Lee's army. While Confederate Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson surrounded, bombarded, and captured Harpers Ferry (September 12-15), McClellan's army of 102,000 men attempted to move quickly through the South Mountain passes that separated him from Lee. The Battle of South Mountain on September 14 delayed McClellan's advance and allowed Lee sufficient time to concentrate most of his army at Sharpsburg. The Battle Of Antietam was fought three days later. Lee, outnumbered two to one, moved his defensive forces to parry each offensive blow, but McClellan never deployed all of the reserves of his army to capitalize on localized successes and destroy the Confederates. On September 18, Lee ordered a withdrawal across the Potomac river, and on September 19-20, fighting by Lee's rear guard at Shepherdstown ended The Maryland Campaign. Although Antietam was a tactical draw, it strategic defeat of Lee's Maryland Campaign. President Abraham Lincoln used this Union victory as the justification for announcing his Emancipation Proclamation, which effectively ended any threat of European support for the Confederacy. https://store.earthstation1.com/robert-e-lee-documentaries-dvd.html

The Siege Of Fort Harrison was an engagement that lasted from September 4 to 15, 1812, and was the first American land victory during the War Of 1812. It was won by an outnumbered United States forces led by future President of the United States Captain Zachary Taylor, who had regarrisoned inside the fort against the combined forces of Miami, Potawatomi, Kickapoo and Winnebago Native Americans. Fort Harrison was a stockade, constructed in Oct. 1811 by forces under command of another future president, General William Henry Harrison, on high ground overlooking the Wabash River on a portion of what is today the modern city of Terre Haute, Indiana. After the outbreak of the War Of 1812, Captain Taylor was ordered by General Harrison to leave Fort Knox and assume command of Fort Harrison. The United States had suffered a series of defeats immediately after war was declared, at the hands of the British, Canadians, and Indians. These victories helped motivate other native tribes to take up campaigns against remote American outposts, of which Fort Harrison was one. For his services at Fort Harrison, Zachary Taylor received a brevet promotion to major. The fort was rebuilt in 1815/16 with a blockhouse at each corner, and abandoned in 1818 after peace was established in Indiana territory as the frontier moved westward. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-american-adventure-series-us-1st-century-4-dv14.html

The Great Fire Of London was a major conflagration that swept through the central parts of the English city of London from Sunday, September 2 to Wednesday, September 5, 1666. The fire gutted the medieval City of London inside the old Roman city wall. It threatened but did not reach the aristocratic district of Westminster, Charles II' Palace Of Whitehall, and most of the suburban slums. It consumed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St Paul' Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities. It is estimated to have destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City' 80,000 inhabitants. The death toll is unknown but traditionally thought to have been small, as only six verified deaths were recorded. This reasoning has recently been challenged on the grounds that the deaths of poor and middle-class people were not recorded, while the heat of the fire may have cremated many victims, leaving no recognisable remains. A melted piece of pottery on display at the Museum of London found by archaeologists in Pudding Lane, where the fire started, shows that the temperature reached 1250 degrees Celsius. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-birth-of-europe-european-history-from-the-ice-age-to-20th-centu20.html

September 4, 1886: The American Indian Wars (The American Frontier Wars, The Indian Wars): The Apache Wars: The Geronimo Campaign: The Surrender Of Geronimo: -- After almost 30 years of fighting, Apache leader Geronimo, with his remaining warriors, surrenders to General Nelson Miles in Arizona. Geronimo was a prominent leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Chiricahua Apache tribe. From 1850 to 1886 Geronimo joined with members of three other Chiricahua Apache bands-the Tchihende, the Tsokanende and the Nednhi-to carry out numerous raids as well as resistance to US and Mexican military campaigns in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Sonora, and in the southwestern American territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Geronimo' raids and related combat actions were a part of the prolonged period of the Apache-United States conflict, which started with American settlement in Apache lands following the end of the war with Mexico in 1848. While well known, Geronimo was not a chief among the Chiricahua or the Bedonkohe band. At any one time, about 30 to 50 Apaches would be following him. However, since he was a superb leader in raiding and warfare he frequently led large numbers of men and women beyond his own following. During his final period of conflict from 1876 to 1886 he "surrendered" three times and accepted life on the Apache reservations in Arizona. In his old age, Geronimo became a celebrity. He appeared at fairs, including the 1904 World' Fair in St. Louis, where he rode a ferris wheel, sold souvenirs and photographs of himself. He died at the Fort Sill hospital in 1909, still a prisoner of war. US Paratroopers beginning in 1940 famously began using the battle cry "Geronimo" when jumping from a plane. https://store.earthstation1.com/cavalcade-of-america-historical-old-time-radio-mp3-dv3.html

September 4, 1975: The Cold War: The Arab Cold War (July 23, 1952 - February 11, 1979): The Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The Yom Kippur War (The Ramadan War, The October War, The 1973 Arab-Israeli War, The Fourth Arab-Israeli War): The Aftermath Of The Yom Kippur War: The Arab-Israeli Peace Process: The Egyptian-Israeli Peace Process: The Sinai Interim Agreement (The Sinai II Agreement): -- Egypt and Israel sign a diplomatic agreement in Geneva, Switzerland to peacefully resolving territorial disputes between the two countries so thaty they "shall not be resolved by military force but by peaceful means." It also called "for a further withdrawal in the Sinai and a new UN buffer zone." Thus, the agreement strengthened Israel's and Egypt's commitment to abiding by U.N. Resolution 338 and strengthened diplomatic relations between Egypt, Israel, and the United States. The purpose of this agreement, in the eyes of the Egyptians, was to gain back as much of the Sinai Peninsula (which had been occupied by Israel since 1967) as they could through diplomacy. Although the agreement strengthened Egypt's relationship with the Western world, it diminished its relationships with other members of the Arab League, especially Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization. https://store.earthstation1.com/yomkiwa19arw.html

September 4, 1948: The Monarchy Of The Netherlands (The Dutch Monarchy): Royal Abdications: -- Royal Abdications: Queen Wilhelmina Of The Netherlands, Queen Of The Netherlands since from 1890, dismayed by the return to pre-war politics and the pending loss of Indonesia, abdicates after a reign of 57 years and 286 days due to advancing age and illness. She passed the crown to her daughter, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, and was hence forward styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Wilhelmina Of The Netherlands". Since then, the influence of the Dutch monarchy continued to decline but the country's love for its royal family continued. Wilhelmina Of The Netherlands (August 31, 1880 - November 28, 1962) was born Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria in Noordeinde Palace, The Hague, Netherlands. She was the only child of King William III and Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont. Wilhelmina reigned for nearly 58 years, longer than any other Dutch monarch. Her reign saw both World War I and World War II, as well as the Dutch economic crisis of 1933. Wilhelmina ascended to the throne at the age of 10 after her father's death in 1890, under her mother's regency. After taking charge of government, Wilhelmina became generally popular for maintaining Dutch neutrality during the First World War and solving many of her country's industrial problems. By that time, her business ventures had made her the world's first female billionaire in dollars. She went on to ensure that her family was one of seven European royal houses remaining in existence. Following the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, Wilhelmina fled to Britain and took charge of the Dutch government-in-exile. She frequently spoke to the nation over radio and came to be regarded as a symbol of the resistance although she was criticised for failing to acknowledge some of the atrocities such as the Bombing of Nijmegen. By 1948, she had returned to the liberated Netherlands and was the only survivor of the 16 monarchs who were sitting on their thrones at the time of her coronation. Increasingly beset by poor health, Wilhelmina abdicated in favour of her daughter Juliana in September 1948 and retired to Het Loo Palace, where she died in 1962. She remains generally popular in the Netherlands, even among the Dutch Republican movement. This is due to her being seen as a symbol of Dutch Resistance during World War II. https://store.earthstation1.com/19401960-empires-crumble--end-of-world-colonialism--dv194019604.html

September 4, 2014: #DOTD: #RIP: Joan Rivers, American comedian, actress, writer, producer, television host and fashionista (b. June 8, 1933) #dies at Mount Sinai Hospital in East Harlem, New York City of brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen during a botched minor throat procedure at an outpatient clinic in Yorkville, Manhattan, aged 81. On August 28, 2014, Rivers experienced serious complications and stopped breathing while undergoing the operation. Resuscitated an hour later, Rivers was transferred to Mount Sinai and later put on life support. She died while in a medically induced coma. The New York City Medical Examiner's Office declared her cause of death. After nearly two months of investigations, federal officials said on November 10 that the clinic made a number of mistakes both before and during the procedure. Among those were the clinic's failure to respond to Rivers' deteriorating vital signs, including a severe drop in her blood pressure, possibly administering an incorrect anesthetic dosage, performing a surgical procedure without her consent, and other medical-clinic irregularities. On September 7, after the cremation of Rivers' body at Garden State Crematory in North Bergen, New Jersey, a private memorial service took place at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. The service was attended by an estimated 1,500 people. The guest list included Rivers' many celebrity friends and public figures such as Howard Stern, Louis C.K., Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Joy Behar, Michael Kors, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosie O'Donnell, Bernadette Peters, Kathy Griffin, and Donald Trump. The musical performances included Hugh Jackman singing "Quiet Please, There's a Lady On Stage", as well as the New York City Gay Men's Chorus singing old show tunes. Talk show host Howard Stern, who delivered the eulogy, described Rivers as "brassy in public [and] classy in private ... a troublemaker, trail blazer, pioneer for comics everywhere, ... [who] fought the stereotypes that women can't be funny." Daughter Melissa read a comedic note to her mother as part of her eulogy. Some of Rivers' ashes were scattered by her daughter in Wyoming; she later stated "(We) scattered some of her ashes there so we can still be together every August as a family" during what had been their annual family vacation. On January 26, 2015, Melissa Rivers filed a malpractice lawsuit against the clinic and the doctors who performed surgery on her mother. The suit was settled for an undisclosed amount in May 2016, with the doctors accepting responsibility for Rivers' death. Joan Rivers was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, New York to Russian-Jewish immigrants Beatrice (nee Grushman) and Meyer C. Molinsky, a doctor. Joan Rivers was noted for her often controversial comedic persona, heavily self-deprecating and sharply acerbic, especially towards celebrities and politicians. Rivers rose to prominence in 1965 as a guest on The Tonight Show. Hosted by her mentor, Johnny Carson, the show established Rivers' comedic style. In 1986, with her own rival program, The Late Show with Joan Rivers, Rivers became the first woman to host a late night network television talk show. She subsequently hosted The Joan Rivers Show (1989-1993), winning a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host. From the mid-1990s, she became known for her comedic red carpet awards show celebrity interviews,. Rivers co-hosted the E! celebrity fashion show Fashion Police from 2010 to 2014 and starred in the reality series Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? (2011-2014) with daughter Melissa Rivers. She was the subject of the documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (2010). In addition to marketing a line of jewelry and apparel on the QVC shopping channel, Rivers authored 12 best-selling books and three LP comedy albums under her own name: Mr. Phyllis And Other Funny Stories (Warner Bros 1965), The Next To Last Joan Rivers Album (Buddah 1969), and What Becomes A Semi-Legend Most? (Geffen 1983). She was nominated in 1984 for a Grammy Award for her album What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most?; and was nominated in 1994 for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her performance of the title role in Sally Marr ... and Her Escorts. In 2009, Rivers competed alongside her daughter Melissa on the second season of The Celebrity Apprentice, ultimately winning the season. In 2015, Rivers posthumously received a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for her book, Diary of a Mad Diva. In 1968, The New York Times television critic Jack Gould called Rivers "quite possibly the most intuitively funny woman alive". In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine ranked her sixth on its list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time, and in October the same year, she was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-legend-of-jewish-comedy-dvd-mp4-download-usb-flash-driv4.html

September 4, 1931: #BOTD: #HBD! Mitzi Gaynor, American actress, singer, dancer and beauty, is #born Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Pauline, a dancer, and Henry de Czanyi von Gerber, a violinist, cellist, and music director. Her notable films include There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) and South Pacific, the 1958 motion picture adaptation of the stage musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. After her father remarried, she became step-sister to anti-war activist Donald W. Duncan, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier who served during the Vietnam War, helping to establish the guerrilla infiltration force Project DELTA there. Following his return to the United States, Duncan became one of the earliest military opponents of the war and one of the antiwar movement leading public figures. Duncan is best remembered as the cover image on the February 1966 issue of Ramparts where he announced "I quit", as well as for his testimony to the 1967 Russell Tribunal detailing American war crimes in Vietnam. Her family first moved to Elgin, Illinois, and then to Detroit, and later when she was eleven, on to Hollywood. She trained as a ballerina as a child and began her career in the corps de ballet. At 13, she was singing and dancing with the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera company. She lied about her address so she could attend Le Conte Junior High in Hollywood. She signed a seven-year contract with Twentieth Century-Fox at age 17. She sang, acted, and danced in a number of film musicals, often paired with some of the biggest male musical stars of the day. A Fox Studio executive thought that Mitzi Gerber sounded like the name of a delicatessen, and they came up with a name that used the same initials. Gaynor made her film debut in a musical, My Blue Heaven (1950) supporting Betty Grable and Dan Dailey. She followed it with a college drama Take Care of My Little Girl (1951), where she played the roommate of Jeanne Crain. Fox then gave Gaynor a star part, in the musical biopic Golden Girl (1951), playing Lotta Crabtree. It was a mild success at the box office. Gaynor was one of several stars in the anthology comedy We're Not Married! (1952), then she was top billed in the musical, Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952), which made 2M USD. Fox put her in another biopic, The I Don't Care Girl (1952), where she played Eva Tanguay. The film made 1.25M USD. Gaynor starred in Down Among the Sheltering Palms (1953), playing a South Sea island girl. She was the female lead in a Western, Three Young Texans (1954). Gaynor's most popular film in her time at Fox was Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business (1954), where she was billed after Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Marilyn Monroe, Donald O'Connor and Johnnie Ray. Gaynor married Jack Bean, a talent agent and public relations executive for MCA, in San Francisco, California, on November 18, 1954. They resided on North Arden Drive in Beverly Hills, California. She had just been released from Twentieth Century-Fox (before the start of There's No Business Like Show Business) with four years left on her contract and decided with the time off to get married. The union was childless. After their marriage, Bean quit MCA and started his publicity firm called Bean & Rose and managed Gaynor's career. In 1956, Gaynor appeared in the Paramount remake of Anything Goes, co-starring Bing Crosby, Donald O'Connor, and Zizi Jeanmaire, loosely based on the musical by Cole Porter, P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton. Paramount cast her in another remake, The Birds and the Bees (1956), playing the role originated by Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve (1941). Her third film for Paramount was The Joker Is Wild (1957), a biopic of Joe E. Lewis starring Frank Sinatra, in which Gaynor played the female lead. In 1957, Gaynor appeared in MGM's Les Girls, directed by George Cukor, with Gene Kelly and Kay Kendall. Her biggest international fame came from her starring role as Ensign Nellie Forbush in the film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. For her performance, she was nominated for a Best Actress Golden Globe Award. Gaynor followed this with a comedy at MGM, Happy Anniversary (1959) opposite David Niven, and the United Kingdom production Surprise Package (1960), a musical comedy thriller directed by Stanley Donen. Her co-stars were Yul Brynner and Noel Coward. The film had a theme song by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn. Her last film role was For Love or Money (1963), starring Kirk Douglas. Following her film work, Gaynor performed in other media. She appeared between two sets by The Beatles when they made their second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 16, 1964. She performed for a nine-minute segment from the stage of the Deauville Hotel, in Miami Beach, separated by one commercial break. She sang "Too Darn Hot" and a blues medley. At the 1967 Academy Awards ceremony, she sang the theme from the film Georgy Girl. Gaynor later added the number to her concert repertoire. Through the 1960s and 1970s, she starred in nine television specials that garnered 16 Emmy nominations. Gaynor recorded two albums for the Verve Records label, one called Mitzi and the second called Mitzi Gaynor Sings the Lyrics of Ira Gershwin. She is thought to have earned more from the record royalties on the South Pacific soundtrack album than her salary for the movie. She also recorded the title song from her film Happy Anniversary for the Top Rank label. For several decades, Gaynor appeared regularly in Las Vegas and at nightclub and concert venues throughout the United States and Canada. During the 1990s, Gaynor became a featured columnist for the newsmagazine The Hollywood Reporter. During her nightclub years, Gaynor developed and rehearsed her routines at The Cave, a club in Vancouver. She became fond of the city and frequently made guest appearances on local television for interviews. "Mitzi's back in town" became an annual slogan when Gaynor would come to the city for a number of weeks each year to develop her Las Vegas routines. On December 4, 2006, Jack Bean, Gaynor's husband of 52 years, died of pneumonia in the couple's Beverly Hills, California, home, aged 84. A producer and personal manager, Bean guided Gaynor's career. On July 30, 2008, Gaynor - along with Kenny Ortega, Elizabeth Berkley, Shirley MacLaine, and cast members from High School Musical, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, and others - participated in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences TV Moves Live, a celebration of 60 years of dance on television. Gaynor appeared performing the final few bars of "Poor Papa", a song-and-dance number from her 1969 TV special, Mitzi's 2nd Special. Four months later, on November 18, 2008, City Lights Pictures released Mitzi Gaynor Razzle Dazzle: The Special Years, a documentary celebrating Gaynor's annual television specials of the 1960s and 1970s. The film, which was broadcast on public television and released on DVD, includes moments from the original specials (digitally remastered in 5.1 stereo) along with newly taped interviews with Gaynor colleagues, friends, and admirers, including Bob Mackie, Carl Reiner, Kristin Chenoweth, Rex Reed, Tony Charmoli, Alton Ruff, Randy Doney, and Kelli O'Hara. Gaynor's one-woman show, Razzle Dazzle: My Life Behind the Sequins, toured the United States and Vancouver from 2009 thru 2014, including a two-week engagement in New York City. Mitzi Gaynor died in Los Angeles, California from natural causes in Los Angeles on October 17, 2024 at the age of 93. She is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. https://store.earthstation1.com/rodgers-and-hammerstein-the-sound-of-american-music-dvd-dvd-mp4-us4.html
