Daniel Te'o-Nesheim obit

Former NFL defensive end Daniel Te'o-Nesheim dies at age 30

 

He was not on the list.


Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, who played four seasons in the NFL, has died at age 30, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers confirmed.

So far, no details on Te’o-Nesheim's death have been made public.

Te’o-Nesheim is a native of American Samoa and played his college ball at Washington. He led the team in sacks in 2007 and is second on the school's all-time career sacks list with 30.

He attended Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Kamuela, Hawaii and had returned there to coach on the football team.

He was a defensive end who played in six games in 2010 with the Philadelphia Eagles, then three seasons with the Buccaneers. In 39 games, he had 37 tackles and five sacks.

Te'o-Nesheim played college football at the University of Washington. He redshirted in 2005 and earned the scout team defensive player of the year award. He was named the defensive MVP in 2007. In 2008, he won the Guy Flaherty Most Inspirational Award, the John P. Angel Defensive Lineman of the Year award, and the L. Wait Rising Lineman of the Year award. He was named a team captain in 2008 and 2009. He earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors in 2009.

He started all 49 games of his career recording a total of 194 tackles, 30 sacks, 50.5 tackles for loss, eight forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. His 30 sacks set a school record for career sacks, breaking the record set by Ron Holmes, who played from 1981 to 1984, with 28.

Peter Macgregor-Scott, Producer on ‘The Fugitive’ and ‘Batman Forever,’ Dies at 69

The British native also worked on 'Animal House,' 'Revenge of the Nerds' and three Cheech & Chong comedies. 

He was not on the list.


Peter Macgregor-Scott, who produced the Andrew Davis-directed The Fugitive, the two Batman films helmed by Joel Schumacher and three movies starring Cheech & Chong, has died. He was 69.

Macgregor-Scott died Sunday in New York after being involved in a recent taxi accident in Manhattan, Davis told The Hollywood Reporter.

“We were like brothers who supported and relied on each other in an industry where that is rare. I will miss him dearly,” Davis said.

Macgregor-Scott’s producing résumé also included Carl Reiner’s The Jerk (1979), The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), Revenge of the Nerds (1984), Troop Beverly Hills (1989), Out for Justice (1991), Black Beauty (1994) and Death to Smoochy (2002). He was based for years at Warner Bros.

Early in his career, Macgregor-Scott served as unit production manager on John Landis’ Animal House (1978), made for slightly more than $2 million. The comedy wound up grossing $142 million, or $537 million in today’s dollars.

Soon after working with Davis for the first time on Under Siege (1992), starring Steven Seagal, Macgregor-Scott and the director partnered on The Fugitive (1993), the remake of the classic 1960s ABC series that starred Harrison Ford as Richard Kimble in the role made famous by David Janssen.

To film a spectacular action scene in The Fugitive, Macgregor-Scott hired cement mixers to pour tons of concrete into the cars of a train to help keep it on its tracks before it slams into a bus — a crash that allows the prisoner Kimble to escape.

The Fugitive went on to gross $369 million worldwide ($630 million today).

Macgregor-Scott and Davis also worked together on A Perfect Murder (1998), starring Michael Douglas, and The Guardian (2006), starring Kevin Costner.

“PMS, as he was known, was the total filmmaker. He knew every aspect of production and postproduction,” Davis said. “Peter knew everyone’s job and what they needed to execute their craft with finesse. He cared for the well-being of the stars and the craft service personnel with equal concern. His ability to put the quality of the film first was clear from the work we did together.

“From engineering train crashes in The Fugitive to building Korean submarines for Under Siege, huge Manhattan apartments in A Perfect Murder and unique wave water tanks for The Guardian, he worked with us to figure out how we could succeed. He was beloved by the crew and cast who worked with him. Being Peter, he was funny and still as focused as one can be.”

Macgregor-Scott also produced Schumacher’s Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), starring Val Kilmer and George Clooney as the Caped Crusader, respectively.

Macgregor-Scott worked on Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie (1980), Still Smokin (1983) and Cheech & Chong’s The Corsican Brothers (1984) and noted in a 2003 interview that the comedy duo, unlike their onscreen personas, were sober professionals.

“There was never any smoke. When the boys are working, it’s a very clean set. No alcohol, no smoke, no nothing,” Macgregor-Scott said. “They learned that in their live performances. They went to Folsom Prison and they had a little too much extra, and it wasn’t a good day for them. They said, ‘OK, that’s the end of that. We go on clean as a whistle from now on.’ I did three pictures with them, and that was the way it was from then ’til now, I’m sure.”

Macgregor-Scott also produced Born in East L.A. (1987), with Cheech Marin going it alone minus Tommy Chong.

He was born in Madenhead, England. His father was J.C. Macgregor Scott, who served as an executive with such British film companies as Columbia Pictures U.K., Warner-Pathe Distributors and Commonwealth United International.

Macgregor-Scott told THR in June that his proudest moment in show business was screening The Fugitive for his dad a few years before the retired executive’s death in 1999.

“He was hard of hearing, but he’d been in the picture business since 1932, and he got up and said, ‘It’s the best movie I’ve ever seen,’ ” Macgregor-Scott said, getting a little emotional. “He was very happy.”

The son started his career working in the sound department at Pinewood Studios in London before coming to the U.S. in 1970.

“Peter was the best producer I ever worked with and a dear, loyal friend,” two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt, who worked with the producer on the Batman films, wrote in a note to Macgregor-Scott’s wife of 15 years, Susan. “We went through so much together, and there is not a day on set where I haven’t thought of him and wished that he was by my side. A lovely, mischievous, laughing, unforgettable colleague and companion.”

His brother, Ian MacGregor-Scott, worked as a sound editor in Hollywood. In addition to his wife, he also is survived by his daughter Elizabeth and son Taylor.

Macgregor-Scott once described his job as having “a vision about what is most practical and economical and anticipating where the problems lie. There will always be challenges on any production, but as long as you have the solutions, the problems don’t really exist.”

A funeral service is scheduled for Thursday in New York. The family asks that donations be made to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in his memory.

Juanita Quigley obit

Obituary: Juanita Q. (Quigley) Schultz 1931-2017



She was not on the list.


Juanita Q. (Quigley) Schultz, 86, of Sudbury, passed away on Sunday, October 29, 2017, surrounded by her loving family. She was the loving wife of the late Dr. Donald “Dutch” Robert Schultz.

Born in Los Angeles, California on June 24, 1931, she was the daughter of the late Wayne D. Quigley and Martha M. (Mchale) Quigley.

Juanita was a famous childhood star who lived her life in secrecy so she could help people without distraction. She was a well-known childhood actress in the 30’s and 40’s. This was something she chose to keep quiet throughout her life, never letting anyone know about her past as an actress, even despite thousands trying to track her down through the years. At the age of 20, in August 1951, Juanita became a nun in the Order of the Daughters of Mary and Joseph and was a teacher at Precious Blood Catholic School. Juanita eventually decided she would like to go back to school herself, so she provided a one-year notice to her superiors and left the Convent. Juanita went on to receive her Bachelor’s degree from Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles and Master of Arts degree from San Francisco State University.



Quigley was billed as "Baby Jane" in several early roles. Her screen debut was as Claudette Colbert's three-year-old daughter in Imitation of Life (1934). She went on to play featured parts in several films, including The Man Who Reclaimed His Head (1934) and was Jean Harlow's niece in Riffraff (1936). Quigley became a familiar face to moviegoers of the era, but major roles for children so young were few and she often played bits as well as featured roles. She was one of the most popular child stars of her day, and was Universal Pictures' youngest star in 1934.

Quigley was briefly involved in the Our Gang film series. In 1940, she was the guest-starring lead in The New Pupil when cast as Sally, who briefly takes "Alfalfa" (played by Carl Switzer) away from Darla Hood. Two years later, she reprised the character in Going to Press (1942), the only time in the MGM era where the female lead was played by someone other than Darla Hood (who had recently left the series) or Janet Burston.

Quigley acted alongside her older sister, Rita Quigley, in Whispering Footsteps (1943). Her last major role was in National Velvet (1944), in which she played Elizabeth Taylor's sister.
 


In June 1964, Juanita married Donald Dutch Schultz who was of amazing notoriety himself and who also spent his career teaching and helping people. The couple lived in Canada while Dutch finished his doctorate and eventually moved to Pennsylvania for their teaching careers. Juanita spent more than twenty years as a Professor of English at Delaware County Community College. She retired in 1992. That same year she was the recipient of the Gould Award at Delaware County Community College. Juanita was awarded Faculty Emerita status in 2000.

In addition to her teaching career at Delaware County Community College, Juanita and her husband spent tremendous energy and time helping oppressed people in the Mexican state of Chiapas. These efforts initially centered around Mexican Indian survivors whose families had been slaughtered for their land. The couple organized fundraising efforts throughout the year and took annual trips to Chiapas to donate money to help the impoverished indigenous people. The couple also initiated a cultural exchange program that linked students at Villanova University with families in Mexican villages stating that “it is important for us to see that the poor have a name and a face”. They led this program for ten years.

Juanita was deeply religious and was a fixture at St. Monica’s in Berwyn, PA, St. Norbert and The Daylesford Abbey, both in Paoli, PA, Immaculate Conception in Cottonwood, AZ, and most recently, Our Lady of Fatima in Sudbury, MA.

Juanita retired to the Verde Valley in Arizona with Dutch in 1992 and resided there through 2014. In August 2014 Juanita moved to Sudbury, MA with her son Erik, and his family.

She is survived by her son Erik Q. Schultz and his wife Susan of Sudbury her Grandchildren Alexander, Brittany and Julia Schultz, MA, and her daughter Marta Schultz of California. Juanita was predeceased by her brother Quintin Quigley and sister Rita Goehner.
