• Autumn in Cannes - By Josie Cory
AHHH.... Autumn in Cannes... where mild breezes blow as the warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a timeless sensuality, assuaging a nostalgia for the Mediterranean which since as far back as the 16th century has been a constant theme in many a Northern European's life.
•••• "Now give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the North to the South, "Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North to the South (to borrow a phrase from the English writer Elizabeth Barret Browning.)
•••• "Cannes," wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880, " is a town where you feel no need to work," and where the inhabitants were not interested in the world that lay beyond their shady gardens, or the sheltered balconys of their hotels. Now the world has come to Cannes, chosen to be the Mediterranean headquarters for its annual events, and when you stroll along the Croisette on some warm October day you will hardly share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Cannes at festival time blossoms into a cosmopolitan spot.

• Alain Delon Dies at 88President Emmanuel Macron posted on X, formerly Twitter:
Monsieur Klein ou Rocco, le Guépard ou le Samouraï, Alain Delon a incarné des rôles légendaires, et fait rêver le monde. Prêtant son visage inoubliable pour bouleverser nos vies.
Mélancolique, populaire, secret, il était plus qu'une star: un monument français.

(Mr. Klein or Rocco, the Leopard or the Samurai, Alain Delon played legendary roles and made the world dream. Lending his unforgettable face to shake up our lives.
Melanchcolic, popular, secretive, he was more than a star: a French moment)

PARIS -- (August 18) -- French actor Alain Delon has died. "He passed away peacefully in his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family." He was 88.
•••• Delon had been in poor health since suffering a stroke in 2019, rarely leaving his estate in Douchy, in France's Val de Loire region and had become a virtual recluse. More recently, the breakdown of his family had been making headlines in France.
•••• French President Emmanuel Macron was among those paying tribute to Delon on Sunday, saying the actor "played legendary roles and made the world dream".
•••• Brigitte Bardot led tributes in France saying Delon's death left a "huge void that nothing and no-one will be able to fill."
•••• The actor was a star of the golden era of French cinema, known for his tough-guy persona on screen in hits including "The Samurai" and "Borsalino."
•••• He stole the hearts of fans whatever role he was playing, from a murderer to a charismatic conman. His colourful personal life regularly made the front pages as he charmed and seduced his way around Europe at the height of his fame.
•••• Delon became a star in France and was idolised by men and women in Japan, but never made it as big in Hollywood despite performing with American cinema giants, including Burt Lancaster when the Frenchman played apprentice-hitman Scorpio in the eponymous 1973 film.
•••• In total, made almost 90 films during his career. From the 1990s, his film appearances grew rare, but he remained a fixture in the celebrity columns.
•••• Delon shot to fame in two films by Italian director Luchino Visconti, "Rocco and His Brothers" in 1960 and "The Leopard" in 1963.
•••• He starred alongside Jean Gabin in Henri Verneuil's 1963 film "Melodie en Sous-Sol" ("Any Number Can Win") and was a major hit in Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 "Le Samourai" ("The Godson"). The role of a philosophical contract killer involved minimal dialogue and frequent solo scenes, and Delon shone.

••• Born just outside Paris on November 8, 1935, Delon was put in foster care aged four after his parents divorced..
•••• He ran away from home at least once and was expelled several times from boarding schools before joining the Marines at 17 and serving in then French-ruled Indochina. There too he got into trouble over a stolen jeep..
•••• Back in France in the mid-50s, he worked as a porter at Paris wholesale food market, Les Halles, and spent time in the red-light Pigalle district before migrating to the cafes of the bohemian St. Germain des Pres area..
•••• There he met French actor Jean-Claude Brialy, who took him to the Cannes Film Festival, where he attracted the attention of an American talent scout who arranged a screen test..
He made his film debut in 1957 in "Quand la femme s'en mele" ("Send a Woman When the Devil Fails").

•••• Delon was outspoken off-stage and courted controversy - notably when he said he regretted the abolition of the death penalty and spoke disparagingly of gay marriage, which was legalised in France in 2013.
•••• He publicly defended the far-right National Front and telephoned its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, an old friend, to congratulate him when the party did well in local elections in 2014.
•••• Delon's lovers included Schneider and German model-turned-singer Nico, with whom he had a son. In 1964, he married Nathalie Barthelemy and fathered a second son before ending the marriage and embarking on a 15-year relationship with Mireille Darc. He had two more children with Dutch model Rosalie van Breemen.
•••• Delon told Paris Match in an interview in 2018 he was fed up with modern life and had a chapel and tomb ready for him on the grounds of his home near Geneva, and for his Belgian shepherd dog, called Loubo.
•••• Delon's last major public appearance was to receive an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival in May 2019.
•••• At the event, he made an emotional speech in which he appeared to bid farewell to cinema. ••
•••• In recent years, Delon was the centre of a family feud over his care, which made headlines in French media. The actor had three children - two sons and a daughter - by two different women, and a third son unacknowledged and now dead.
•••• In April 2024 a judge placed Delon under "reinforced curatorship", meaning he no longer had full freedom to manage his assets. He was already under legal protection over concerns over his health and well-being.

• Phil Donahue dies at 88 - (TVI Magazine)
•Talk show host Phil Donahue has died at the age of 88, his family has confirmed.
He died at his home on Sunday after a long illness and surrounded by family, according to a statement issued to NBC's Today show.
Donahue, who created and hosted The Phil Donahue Show, was considered the "king of daytime talk."
Over his career, Donahue interviewed well-known figures including Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, Sammy Davis Jr, Sir Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Dolly Parton, Michael J Fox and Robin Williams.•
••••
Donahue is considered a trailblazer in the daytime television landscape.
•••• His TV show was the first to include many elements familiar to viewers today, including participation from the studio audience, typically during a full hour with a single guest.
•••• He hosted more than 6,000 editions of his talk show between 1967 and 1996.
•••• Born in Cleveland in 1935, Donahue began his media career in the late 1950s in talk radio and television, launching his eponymous talk show in 1967.
•••• In 1974, the show relocated from Ohio to Chicago and changed its name to simply Donahue. The show got into its groove soon after, once Donahue began involving the studio audience in discussions and the program more widely.

Donahue married his second wife, actress Marlo Thomas, ( "That Girl" star of the 1960s) in 1980 after the two first met three years earlier when she was a guest on his talk show.
••••• For its last decade on air, the show was hosted from New York City. The final episode was broadcast in September 1996.

Donahue was credited with changing the face of daytime television and challenging assumptions about what female audiences in particular wanted from talk show.
Phil Donahue, Marlo Thomas

•••• Donahue was credited with changing the face of daytime television and challenging assumptions about what female audiences in particular wanted from talk shows.
•••• "If there had been no Phil Donahue show, there would be no Oprah Winfrey Show," Winfrey wrote in the September 2002 issue of O, the Oprah Magazine.
••• "He was the first to acknowledge that women are interested in more than mascara tips and cake recipes - that we're intelligent, we're concerned about the world around us and we want the best possible lives for ourselves."
•••• Donahue's eagerness to explore controversial social issues of the day emerged, when he featured atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair as his first guest. He would later air shows on feminism, homosexuality, consumer protection and civil rights, among hundreds of other topics.
•••• Donahue himself once said: "I honestly believe we have spoken more thoughtfully, more honestly, more often to more issues about which women care than any other show."
•••• He won 20 Emmy Awards across his career, 10 of which were for outstanding host and 10 for the talk show itself.
•••• Earlier this year in May, he was awarded the medal of freedom, the highest civilian honour in the US, by President Joe Biden.

• Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard
By Harvey Geller
•••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication.
•••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked.

• Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq., great-grand son of wireless telephone inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield, died - By Troy Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles, CA.
•••• Scott, aka Scott Stubblefield, was one of four children with siblings, Alden, Keith, and Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32). His parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an entertainer and author and Dorothy Swafford, owner of a furniture and antiques retail store. Scott's children are Steven, David and grand-children, William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to Steven and Skylark. Scott's great-grandfather is Nathan B. Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in 1882, and patent holder of the wireless telephone (1908) and his great-great-great .... grandparents were - John and Priscilla Alden who were part of the pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock from England in 1620.

(The Stubblefield story is incorporated within several photographs and denotes of and about S Scott to show how their personal ambitions and dreams parallel each other - both died - before their dreams and ambitions were fulfilled)

During the time he studied for the State Bar, Scott lived with Josie and myself on our family estate in Pasadena. He passed the State Bar the first time and was among only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing cinematography for my TV shows, which he considered an artistic outlet besides his major life's work, in the field of law. After he passed the State Bar he handled numerous legal cases and ended up working as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli with whom he engaged in several cases and won a lawsuit that became precedent case law. Whitenack was committed to his legal profession for over three decades.•
r••• If you needed legal advice or help with a motion filing, Scott was there with his trusty law books. He was very intelligent, outspoken and an independent thinker.
•••• He also was a family man, who loved hiking and scuba diving, a good game of tennis and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount Ranch for regular family outings and Father's Day get-togethers.
•••• As to his love for cinematography he videotaped additional segments for the movie "Christmas around the World." Scott later became my producer and cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream" filmed in Europe. The video project brought him and the production team to Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and Salzburg. Said footage with perfect picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he left behind for us.
•••• In the early 90s during the writing of our 4-volume set of books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about the invention of radio and the the wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful hand in giving his legal aspect of his great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's copyrighted and patented invention. He also was the co-author of "Bank America, the Tortfeasor." •

••••• He leaves behind his father, Troy Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie Cory-Stubblefield, sons David and Steven, daughter-in law Skylar, and great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora and Max; Nephew Ryan White, and niece Jenny Wharton. His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32.
