Ray Narleski obit

Ray Narleski, 2-time all-star and part of Indians' great bullpen in historic 1954 season, dies at age 83

 

He was not on the list.

Ray Narleski, a two-time all-star with the Indians and a key to their brilliant bullpen during the historic 1954 season, died on March 29 at age 83.

Narleski died of natural causes, his wife of 63 years, Ruth, said through the funeral home near the Narleski home in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.

Narleski was a right-handed rookie relief pitcher for the Indians when they set the American League record for wins, finishing 111-43, before being swept in the World Series by the New York Giants. The wins record has been broken since the schedule was expanded to 162 games.

Sharing the bulk of the bullpen duties with two left-handers, Don Mossi and future Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser, Narleski was 3-2 with 13 saves and a 1.95 ERA in 40 relief appearances spanning 78 1/3 innings, holding hitters to a .171 batting average. He pitched in two World Series games, not getting a decision while allowing one run in four innings.

With his blazing fastball and a good assortment of off-speed pitches, Narleski finished sixth in the American League MVP voting in 1955. He led AL pitchers with 60 appearances and with 19 saves, during an era when there were fewer save opportunities as starters pitched more complete games. Narleski was 9-1 with a 3.71 ERA in 111 2/3 innings.

Narleski made the AL all-star team in 1956 and 1958, pitching 3 1/3 scoreless relief innings during the AL’s 4-3 win over the National League in 1958.

In his five seasons with the Indians, Narleski was 39-21 with 53 saves and a 3.22 ERA in 224 games, including 42 starts.

Narleski was named among the Top 100 Greatest Indians during the team’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2001.

The Indians traded Narleski, Mossi and infielder Ossie Alvarez to the Tigers for pitcher Al Cicotte and infielder Billy Martin — who went on to managing fame — on Nov. 20, 1958.

Narleski was 4-12 with five saves for Detroit in 1959. He was hampered by a sore pitching shoulder, but retired after the season, at age 30, also due to a ruptured disc in his back.

Narleski's father, Bill Narleski, was a Red Sox infielder in 1929-30. In his book, "The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia," former Plain Dealer Indians beat writer Russell Schneider wrote that Narleski credited his father's practice time with him for his success.

“Never give in to a hitter,” was a piece of advice from his father that Narleski never forgot, he said.

One of Ray Narleski's three sons, Steve Narleski, pitched in the Indians' minor league system from 1976-83, reaching Class AAA but never the major leagues.

'Big Love's' Luke Askew Dies, 80

Appeared in more than 80 productions in h lifetime

 

He was not on the list.

Luke Askew, whose final roles were playing the scary and somewhat crazy polygamist Holl Green in the HBO series "Big Love" has died. He was 80.

Askew passed away on March 29 from complications of lung cancer, but news didn't really get out until this week when Oregon Live broke the story.

Born in Georgia, Askew died quietly in the Lake Oswego, Ore., condominium he shared with h wife. He had just turned 80 three days before.

Nancy Hedin, Askew's neighbor, told Oregon Live that she would sometimes vit the couple and watch some of Askew's work with them.

"They both mostly kept to themselves, but every once in a while, I could hear h voice from my unit," Hedin said. "You could just tell he was an actor."

Askew was born March 26, 1932, in Macon, Georgia He got his first big break in acting in 1967 when he was 35 years old and cast in "Hurry Sundown" with Michael Caine, Jane Fonda and Faye Dunaway. He would later appear in a number of other popular movies, mostly in smaller or bit roles, including "Cool Hand Luke" in 1967, "The Green Berets" in 1968 and "Easy Rider" in 1969.

His first big television role was in a 1968 epode of "Mission: Impossible" where Victor Pietro Duchell in the epode "The Execution." He would return in 1973 to play Dawson in the epode "The Fountain. He also had a strong role in a 1971 epode of "Bonanza" where he played Sheriff Hatch.

Spending decades appearing in a number of television shows like "L.A. Law," "Knight Rider," "Murder, She Wrote" and even "The 4400," h longest and probably most popular recurring role wouldn't come until 2007 when he was cast to play Holl Green in the "Big Love" epode "Dating Game."

Green was the "prophet" of a rival polygamy group, known for being quite merciless when it came to meeting h goals. However, he was also not fully with it, his social mannerisms probably best described as not fully there.

He would appear in 10 epodes of the show, h final appearance in "Blood Atonement" in February 2010.

Askew was never afraid to take on challenging roles, even if there was some negative societal impact. Although playing a violent polygamist would raise eyebrows today, even at the beginning of his career he as not afraid to take chances, in fact being brave enough to don long hair in "Cool Hand Luke" despite it being heavily frowned upon for men to do that. He was one of the first in that era to wear h hear long, but when he was not on set, he had to wear a hat, according to reports that looked back at h time there.

Besides his wife, Askew also survived by a son, Chrtopher.

Blues Great Earl Scruggs #2

Blues great Earl Scruggs is the second person from the list of 500 to pass away. His obituary:

Earl Scruggs dies at age 88

Bluegrass legend and banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, who helped profoundly change country music with

Bill Monroe in the 1940s and later with guitarist Lester Flatt, has died. He was 88.


Scruggs' son Gary said his father died of natural causes Wednesday morning at a Nashville, Tenn., hospital.


Earl Scruggs was an innovator who pioneered the modern banjo sound. His use of three fingers rather than the clawhammer style elevated the banjo from a part of the rhythm section — or a comedian's prop — to a lead instrument.


His string-bending and lead runs became known worldwide as "the Scruggs picking style" and the versatility it allowed has helped popularize the banjo in almost every genre of music.


The debut of Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys during a post-World War II performance on The Grand Ole Opry is thought of as the "big bang" moment for bluegrass and later 20th century country music. Later, Flatt and Scruggs teamed as a bluegrass act after leaving Monroe from the late 1940s until breaking up in 1969 in a dispute over whether their music should experiment or stick to tradition. Flatt died in 1979.


They were best known for their 1949 recording "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," played in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde," and "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" from "The Beverly Hillbillies," the popular TV series that debuted in 1962. Jerry Scoggins did the singing.


After the breakup, Scruggs used three of his sons in The Earl Scruggs Revue. The group played on bills with rock acts like Steppenwolf and James Taylor. Sometimes they played festivals before 40,000 people.


In a July 2010 interview, Scruggs said in the early days, "I played guitar as much as I did the banjo, but for everyday picking I'd go back to the banjo. It just fit what I wanted to hear better than what I could do with the guitar."


Scruggs will always be remembered for his willingness to innovate. In "The Big Book of Bluegrass," Scruggs discussed the breakup with Flatt and how his need to experiment drove a rift between them. Later in 1985, he and Flatt were inducted together in the Country Music Hall of Fame.


"It wasn't a bad feeling toward each other as much as it was that I felt I was depriving myself of something," Scruggs said. "By that, I mean that I love bluegrass music, and I still like to play it, but I do like to mix in some other music for my own personal satisfaction, because if I don't, I can get a little bogged down and a little depressed."


He said he enjoyed playing because "it calms me down. It makes me satisfied. Sometimes I just need to pick a few tunes."


At an 80th birthday party for Scruggs in January 2004, country great Porter Wagoner said: "I always felt like Earl was to the five-string banjo what Babe Ruth was to baseball. He is the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be."


In 2005, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" was selected for the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry of works of unusual merit. The following year, the 1972 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," on which Scruggs was one of many famous guest performers, joined the list, too.


Scruggs had been fairly active in the 2000s, returning to a limited touring schedule after frail health in the 1990s. In 1996, Scruggs suffered a heart attack in the recovery room of a hospital shortly after hip-replacement surgery. He also was hospitalized late last year, but seemed in good health during a few appearances with his sons in 2010 and 2011.


In 2001 he released a CD, "Earl Scruggs and Friends," his first album in a decade and an extension of The Earl Scruggs Revue. Over 12 songs, he collaborated with an impressive stable of admirers: Elton John, Dwight Yoakam, Travis Tritt, Sting, Melissa Etheridge, Vince Gill, John Fogerty, Don Henley, Johnny Cash and actor Steve Martin, a banjo player, were all featured.


Scruggs, born Jan. 6, 1924, in Flint Hill, N.C., learned to play banjo at age 4. He appeared at age 11 on a radio talent scout show. By age 15, he was playing in bluegrass bands.


"My music came up from the soil of North Carolina," Scruggs said in 1996 when he was honored with a heritage award from his home state.


He and Flatt played together in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, then left to form the Foggy Mountain Boys in 1948.


Their popularity grew, and they even became a focal point of the folk music revival on college campuses in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Scruggs' wife, Louise, was their manager and was credited with cannily guiding their career as well as boosting interest in country music.


Later, as rock `n' roll threatened country music's popularity, Flatt and Scruggs became symbols of traditional country music.


In the 1982 interview, Scruggs said "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" broadened the scope of bluegrass and country music "more than anything I can put my finger on. Both were hits in so many countries."


Scruggs also wrote an instructional book, "Earl Scruggs and the Five String Banjo."


In 1992, Scruggs was among 13 recipients of a National Medal of Art. "I never in my wildest dreams thought of rewards and presentations," he said. "I appreciate those things, especially this one."


Louise Scruggs, his wife of 57 years, died in 2006. He is survived by two sons, Gary and Randy. Gary Scruggs says funeral arrangements are incomplete.

Neil Travis obit

Film editor Neil Travis dies at 75

Won Oscar for 'Dances With Wolves,' Emmy for 'Roots'

 He was not on the list.

 

Film editor Neil Travis, who won an Oscar for his work on “Dances With Wolves” and an Emmy for his work on the miniseries “Roots,” died of natural causes at his home in Arroyo Grande, Calif., on Wednesday, March 28. He was 75.

In addition to Oscar best picture winner “Dances With Wolves,” Travis edited films including “Cocktail,” “No Way Out,” “Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger” and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.”

Travis edited more than 25 films over the course of a career that spanned over four decades. He began in the entertainment business as an assistant editor at Paramount Studios in his early 20s, went on to work as a second editor for a Fox television series; soon thereafter, he helped edit his first feature, 1970’s “The Traveling Executioner.”

During the 1970s he edited several telepics, the landmark 1977 miniseries “Roots” and its sequel, and episodes of series including “Harry O.”

Feature work of the period included “The Cowboys” with John Wayne, “Jaws 2” and the Dom DeLuise comedy “Hot Stuff.”

His profile rose with work on Kevin Costner starrer “No Way Out”in 1987, Tom Cruise starrer “Cocktail” in 1988 and “Dances With Wolves,” for which he won an Oscar. Travis edited the Tom Clancy adaptations “Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger” and “The Sum of All Fears”; the Julia Roberts-Susan Sarandon vehicle “Stepmom”; Robin Williams starrer “Bicentennial Man”; and the Morgan Freeman thriller “Along Came a Spider.”

In 2003 he cut “Terminator 3,” and his last efforts, in 2007, were the Sandra Bullock thriller “Premonition” and, in a return to television, “The 79th Annual Academy Awards,” for which he shared an Emmy nomination.

Herbert Neil Travis was born in 1936 in Los Angeles. He received a bachelor’s degree in advertising art with a minor in theater arts from UCLA.

Travis was a member of the American Cinema Editors, and in 2010 he received ACE’s Career Achievement Award.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth; a son; and a daughter.

Services will be held in Arroyo Grande on May 12. Donations may be made to Hospice Partners of the Central Coast, YMCA or Boy Scouts of America.

Warren Stevens, Busy Character Actor, Dies at 92

 

He was not on the list.

Born in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, Stevens entered the United States Naval Academy in 1937 but was medically discharged in 1940. During World War II he served in the United States Army Air Forces as a pilot.

A founding member of The Actor's Studio in New York, Stevens received notice on Broadway in the late 1940s, and thereafter was offered a Hollywood contract at 20th Century Fox. His first Broadway role was in The Life of Galileo (1947) and his first movie role followed in The Frogmen (1951). As a young studio contract player, Stevens had little choice of material, and he appeared in films that included Phone Call from a Stranger (1952), Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie (1952), and Gorilla at Large (1954). A memorable movie role was that of the ill-fated "Doc" Ostrow in the science fiction film Forbidden Planet (1956). He also had supporting roles in The Barefoot Contessa (1954) with Humphrey Bogart and Intent to Kill (1958).

Despite occasional parts in big films, Stevens was unable to break out consistently into A-list movies, so he carved out a career in television as a journeyman dramatic actor.

Stevens was a Democrat who supported the campaign of Adlai Stevenson during the 1952 presidential election.

He co-starred as Lt. William Storm in Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers (NBC, 1956–1957), a prime time adventure series set in India.

    Comedies The Donna Reed Show (2 episodes, 1965 and 1966), M*A*S*H (1 episode, Season 4, episode 13, The Gun, Dec2. 1975)

Stevens' appearance in the 1955 movie Robbers' Roost introduced him to Richard Boone, who hired him for a continuing television role on The Richard Boone Show, an award-winning NBC anthology series which lasted for the 1963–1964 season.

Stevens was a close friend of actor Richard Basehart and helped him through a difficult divorce in the early 1960s. Stevens guest-starred in a few episodes of Basehart's ABC series, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. He also had a supporting role on another Irwin Allen production, The Return of Captain Nemo in 1978.

In his later years, Stevens' appearances were infrequent. He guest-starred in ER in March 2006 and had two roles in 2007.

For the DVD release of Combat! he provided audio commentary for “The Gun” (S5, E1) an episode in which he’d guest-starred (he also guest-starred in “The Imposter” (S3, E10).

Stevens died on March 27, 2012, from complications of lung disease in his home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California. He had three children.
