Ian Fraser, Famed Composer for TV and Film, Dies at 81

He won 11 Emmys from 32 nominations and collaborated often with Julie Andrews

 He was not on the list.

Ian Fraser, whose 11 Emmy Awards and 32 nominations for outstanding music direction made him the most honored composer/conductor in the history of television, has died. He was 81.

The British native, who was known for his long association with singer-actress Julie Andrews, died of cancer Friday at his Los Angeles home, his daughter, Tiffany, told the Los Angeles Times.

Survivors also include his wife, actress Judee Morton, and their son, Neal, a top chef who with his wife, Amy, has been behind such well-regarded L.A.-area restaurants as Grace, BLD and Vibiana.

Fraser first worked with Andrews in 1972 as vocal arranger for her Emmy-winning weekly ABC variety hour. He became her musical director the following year when they recorded the first of their two Christmas albums. His 1995 and 1997 Broadway albums with Andrews were Grammy Award nominees.

Fraser returned to Broadway with Andrews in 1995 to conduct Victor/Victoria for the stage, and he composed and performed music to her narration for the accompanying CD of her 2003 children’s book, Simeon’s Gift.

In 2006, he and lyricist John Bucchino composed the songs for the children’s musical version of Simeon’s Gift.

Fraser received an Academy Award nomination for the musical film Scrooge (1970), starring Albert Finney, and worked on such films as Hopscotch (1980), First Monday in October (1981) and Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981).

Fraser conducted the orchestra for the 1984 Oscar telecast and served as musical director for the 1984, 1993 and 2002 Emmy Awards.

“Ian will be remembered by all who had the great fortune to know and work with him as a man of great taste and talent, intelligence and warmth and a wonderful sense of humor and fun,” Television Academy chairman and CEO Bruce Rosenblum said in a statement.

Fraser was in the midst of his 10th term as the Music Peer Group governor at the TV Academy.

In 1977, Fraser received his first career Emmy for his musical direction of America Salutes Richard Rodgers: The Sound of His Music. Other than 1979 and 2000, he received at least one Emmy nom in every year through 2005.

He was nominated one last time in 2013 for the special Christmas in Washington.

Fraser also contributed to the iconic “The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth” duet between Bing Crosby and David Bowie in 1977 on Crosby’s last Christmas TV special.

Fraser came to New York in 1962 with Anthony Newley‘s Stop the World, I Want to Get Off for which he was musical director and arranger of the original London and Broadway productions.

Bob Geigel obit

 

Bob Geigel, former NWA president and pro wrestler, has died at age 90

He was not on the list.

Bob Geigel, the former president of the National Wrestling Alliance and pro wrestler, died Thursday at the age of 90.

The Wrestling Observer reported that Geigel broke a hip "a few months back" and had also been battling Alzheimer's disease.

Aside from Harley Race, no person likely meant more for pro wrestling in Kansas City than Geigel, who ran the Central States office out of Kansas City and brought stars like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and Bruiser Brody in for matches.

The 5-foot-11, 230-pound grappler starred as an amateur at the University of Iowa. He turned pro and earned the nickname "Texas" Bob Geigel while wrestling in the Amarillo territory in 1950. Before all of that, Geigel fought in World War II in the Pacific theatre.

Geigel made his mark in Kansas City when he bought the local wrestling circuit in 1958. Geigel was a champion wrestler from then until his retirement from the ring in 1976 (although he would compete sporadically into the 1980s). Kansas City became a hotbed for pro wrestling in the 1970s, with matches at Memorial Hall becoming a Thursday-night tradition.

But Geigel made a national name for himself during his presidency with the NWA, serving as leader (and sometimes figurehead) for the governing body of professional wrestling from 1978 to 1980, 1982 to 1985 and finally 1986 to 1987.

The national expansion of the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) led to the death of Central States wrestling as well as the St. Louis territory, which Geigel helped run after the retirement of promoter Sam Muchnick.

WWE acknowledged Geigel's death on its website and offered condolences to family and friends.

Metro Pro Wrestling promoter Chris Gough paid tribute to Geigel on his organization's Facebook page, sharing this story:

"I met Geigel years ago when The Woodlands Race Track first opened in the early 1990s. He, along with Rufus R. Jones, Mike George and "Bulldog" Bob Brown, were security guards, and HUGE security guards for a 14-year-old to see. Since then, we've kept in touch many times. He came to Metro Sports for interviews about wrestling and The Woodlands — in fact, he was still working part-time as security on the grounds of the old Woodlands building until six months ago at the age of 89. I'm so glad I was able to interview him for 'K.C. On The Mat' and have him come to the premiere at Memorial Hall back in April 2009. RIP Bob."

Former Football Star Leon McLaughlin Has Died

McLaughlin was the head football coach at San Fernando Valley State College—now known as California State University, Northridge—from 1969 to 1970.

He had several small acting roles in television and the movies as well, mostly as a football player.

Michael Hawkins obit

Michael Hawkins RIP

 

He was not on the list.

News has reached me, via his widow Julia, that Michael Hawkins – who played General Williams in the 1972 Doctor Who adventure Frontier In Space – died late last year. Julia is happy for the information to appear online so I thought I’d do a quick post for the actor best known among visitors to this parish for his dignified turn as the human soldier responsible for starting a deadly war between Earth and Draconia. Mr Hawkins was also interviewed about his role on the Making Of… documentary on the Dalek War DVD box set.

A handsome actor with a refined air about him, he was more versatile than the parts he usually got suggested – note his turn as Beavis, the beleaguered subject of cruel mental conditioning in the Doomwatch episode Hair Trigger (1972). He had previously appeared in the very first episode of that series, The Plastic Eaters (1970), and his other genre roles included an aristocrat in the early scenes of Hammer’s Hound Of the Baskervilles (1959), The Avengers (3 roles from 1961), Out Of This World (1962), as a regular in R3 (1965), Thirteen Against Fate (1966), The Baron (1967), Man In A Suitcase (1968), and another military type in Survivors (1977).

He enjoyed a busy time of it on television all through the 60s and 70s in everything from Z-Cars to George And Mildred, via I,Claudius and Crown Court, with decent stints in Brett (1971), season one of The Brothers (1972), The Scobie Man (1972), King Cinder (1977) and The Devil’s Crown (1978) propping up a hefty roster of one-off guest stints.

He is often mistakenly referred to as the father of Christian Slater – there is indeed a similar hawkish profile shared by both men, and the Hollywood star’s father was indeed an actor called Michael Hawkins, but this is not he. Like many details on certain famous websites, this is incorrect, so I have not used any other information here (such as dates) given by them either – not until I am satisfied they are correct. At present I am happier to leave that information blank than propagate a mistake, though I believe Mr Hawkins was in his mid 80s at the time of his death on the 26th October last year.
