In Memory of Muhammad Ali,
1942-2016 ••••
Muhammad Ali the
three-time heavyweight champion
who proclaimed himself "the
Greatest," defied the US
government over the Vietnam war,
and later became one of the most
well-known -- and loved --
sportsmen in history has died. He
was 74.
••••
Ali died late on Friday June 3,
at a hospital in Phoenix,
Arizona, the family's
spokesperson Bob Gunnell said.
His funeral will take place in
his home town of Louisville,
Kentucky.
••••
Ali had become increasingly frail
since being diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease in 1984, aged
42, and in recent years had
limited his public appearances.
Earlier this month his brother
Rahman Ali revealed that the
condition was so advanced he
could barely speak or leave his
house. • As a sportsman- he will be remembered for
many classic fights -- in
particular beating the fearsome
Sonny Liston to become champion;
the Fight of the Century and the
Thrilla in Manilla against Joe
Frazier, and the Rumble in the
Jungle in 1974 when, at the age
of 32, he surprised everyone by
cutting down George Foreman in
Kinshasa to regain back his
title.
••••
Tributes flooded in from the
world of boxing, the wider
sporting community and well
beyond them.
••••
Even in
death his legacy burns on.

30,000 attend the legendary
Cannes Film
Festival By
Gordon Talbott ••••The
festival opened on May 11 with a
screening of Woody Allen's new
film, "Café Society," and
runs through May 22 in the
southern French resort city. In
competition for the Palme d'Or
this year are films by Pedro
Almodóvar, Olivier
Assayas, the Dardenne brothers,
Jim Jarmusch, Cristian Mungiu,
Jeff Nichols and Sean Penn.
••••
Jodie Foster's "Money Monster"
and Steven Spielberg's "The BFG"
have been be shown out of
competition. ••••
After the recent terrorist
attacks in France, organizers say
they have ramped up security to
the highest level in the
festival's history.
••••This
year's dinner was more subdued
than those in the past and took
place inside the Palais des
Festivals et des Congrès,
the official headquarters, where
a fleet of police and guards
mingled with politicians, stars,
movie icons and fame seeking
starlets. •
Cinema gives Cannes
its
reason
for being, but it is celebrity
that keeps it going. Now in its
69th year, the festival has
survived assorted bumps,
including television, the
transition to digital and World
War II, which led to the
cancellation of the inaugural
edition, in 1939. When it got
underway in 1946, its slate
included Jean Cocteau's "Beauty
and the Beast." A quotation from
Cocteau on the festival website
asserts that Cannes is "an
apolitical no man's land, a
microcosm of what the world would
be like if people could make
direct contact with one another
and speak the same language." The
apolitical part has never really
existed, as the event's history
of protests and policing
show. •
Certainly, it is
still
nonexistent,
given that France remains under a
state of emergency, following the
deadly November attacks in and
around Paris. Festivalgoers
arrived amid competing dramatic
headlines &emdash; "Bomb sweeps
and bag checks as terror threat
looms over Cannes," The Guardian
announced on Tuesday &emdash;
that suggested that attendees
could expect to endure the
paramilitary-like rigors of an
Academy Awards ceremony having to
pass through several metal
detectors.
•••
Yet entrance to the Palais
remains much the same as before
and largely involves personnel
peering in bags, confiscating
water bottles (and apples and
sandwiches) and scanning
attendees with electronic
security wands.
••••And,
so, it's on with the show, with
all its glamour, gowns, parties,
high-ticket hookers, trolling
Lamborghinis, incessant Euro
disco and the push and pull
between the dream world onscreen
and the one outside the Palais.
Cannes is nothing if not in touch
with its history, including its
commitment to protocol, and it is
apparently not going to let the
threat of terror get in the way
of some 30,000 souls who are here
to screen, to see and be seen.
The players, including the
juries, have convened; the first
reviews have already been
written, read and forgotten.

2016 STUDIO CITY, CA -- Jim
Myron, a real estate developer
and family friend passed
away May 28, 2016, in Los
Angeles, after treatment at
Cedars Sinai for heart problems
and related
causes.
He
was 85.
••••
He was best known as the
club-owner of famed Myron's Ball
Room (the Grand Ball Room) on
Grand Avenue.
••••
In the 90s it was a is a popular
venue for young Latino and Asian
American club-goers, regularly
drawing crowds of 1,800 and more
several nights a week.
••••
An astute entrepreneur,
Myron became a millionaire many
times over, buying up parking
lots and coffee shops and making
other shrewd investments.
•••
His mother, Myrna Myron
bought the ballroom in 1946 and
made it flourish for five
decades, starting with the Big
Band era, when it attracted such
headliners as Harry James, Les
Browne, Stan Kenton and Xavier
Cugat.
••••
Many movies have been
filmed at the ballroom, including
"Farewell, My Lovely," "New York,
New York," "Queen of the Stardust
Ballroom" and "The Cotton Club."
Figures from the early days of
television also broadcast from
Myron's, including Art Linkletter
and auto dealer Cal
Worthington.
••••Myron's
Ballroom was the most successful,
drawing crowds away from Lawrence
Welk at the Hollywood Palladium
by keeping admission prices low,
said Jim Myron, who was his
mother's business partner for 50
years.
••••
James
Myron was born in Chicago on
March 1, 1931, and came to Los
Angeles with his parents just
prior to the beginning of World
War II. His mother, Myrna Myron,
was a showgirl and friend of
Ginger Rogers and Mae West. James
himself became a ballroom
champion and taught ballroom
dance.
••••
During
his career, James Myron was
instrumental in operating several
wildly popular clubs such as
Vertigo and Chippendales.
••••
James
had his own dance show called
"Make Believe Ballroom" on
Channel 7 television, and he
knew, danced with and dated many
of Hollywood's most beautiful
women, including Marilyn Monroe,
Judy Garland, and Juliet Prowse.
He also befriended many of
Hollywood's greatest stars of the
era, including Bob Hope, Elvis
Presley, Clark Gable and Howard
Hughes.
••••
James
was a USC graduate, and also
served in the United States
Marine Corps, serving with NATO
forces in Europe, and later in
Washington D.C. as part of the
honor guard in the White House.
James was a great athlete, a
tennis champion, and a member of
the USC golf team. James
continued golfing throughout life
and won many golf tournaments,
including the Donald Trump Golf
Invitational in Los Angeles on
two occasions.
••••
James
will be remembered for the
sincere friendship he extended to
so many, for the Myron Foundation
for Excellence which he founded,
for the regular evening parties
he threw at his home for his many
friends, for his outspokenness,
and for his patriotism and belief
that hard work and dedication can
create success for anyone.
••••
Jim, a Cory family friend,
will be missed greatly, says
Troy.
••••
A memorial service for James
Myron will be held at the Church
of the Recessional, Forest Lawn
Cemetery, 1712 S. Glendale
Avenue, Glendale, at 9:00 AM on
Wednesday, June 15th.

Cory's Road to
China>
First American to perform on
Stage in China,
PRC.
•
Troy Cory was among the first
international entertainers and
the first American entertainer to
perform in the People's Republic
of China, beginning in 1988. In
itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view
of China's closed door policies
of the late 70s and well into the
80s. The PRC's administrative
climate in comparison is much
less restrictive now and China's
open door policy enables many
entertainers to introduce
themselves to the populace
Chinese
audiences.
