Barry Cahill Dead at 90; Y&R Actor, Husband of Rachel Ames

 

 He was not on the list.

Actor Barry Cahill died on April 9 at age 90, according to the Los Angeles Times. Aside from his long acting career, soap fans know Cahill as the 42 year husband of GENERAL HOSPITAL's Rachel Ames.

Cahill played Sam Powers during the early years of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. When Liz Foster fell in love with Sam, she finally was convinced to have her late husband, Bill Foster, finally declared dead. But it turned out out he was very much alive.

Cahill's other soap roles include appearances on SANTA BARBARA and DYNASTY. His film credits included Grand Theft Auto, and Sweet Bird of Youth. His television roles included The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, The Young and the Restless, Dynasty, and Santa Barbara.

Cahill is survived by his wife of 42 years, Rachel Ames, daughter Christine, step-daughter Susan, grandchildren, Jocelyn and Marc, and nieces Leslie, Theresa and Mary Ann.

Rachel had to take an extended leave from GENERAL HOSPITAL in 1971 when she was pregnant with Christine. Maura McGiveney temporarily played the role of Audrey.

Carol Adams obit

Actress Carol Adams dies at 94

Appeared in 'Our Gang' shorts, Westerns 

She was not on  the list.

Actress Carol Adams, who appeared in some 50 features, starring at times with Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, died April 9 in West Hollywood of natural causes. She was 94.

She was born Lurline Uller in Los Angeles and was discovered at age 5 while playing in her aunt’s yard near the corner of Sunset and Gower, where Christie Film Co. had established the first movie studio in Hollywood itself. She made a small appearance as a flower girl in the Dorothy Devore picture “Navy Blues” (1923), beginning a 20-year career in the industry.

Uller appeared in “Sparrows” (1926), with Mary Pickford, and “Fireman Save My Child” (1927), with Wallace Beery, and she also appeared in silent comedy shorts in the “Our Gang,” “Buster Brown” and “Mickey McGuire” (Mickey Rooney) series while training with the Meglin Kiddies.

In 1929 she honed her dancing skills alongside a very young Francis Gumm (Judy Garland) in the Hollywood Starlets. In her teens she performed song and dance on vaudeville stages across California and later did bit parts in films at Paramount and Fox. She was eventually rediscovered at age 18 while dancing in a show at the Pantages Theatre and signed to a two-year contract at 20th Century Fox. She began appearing in “college” musicals, which led to roles in better pictures.

Uller worked steadily, appearing in more than 30 films during this period, including four Mr. Moto outings as well as “The Big Broadcast of 1938,” “Sally, Irene and Mary” and “Rose of Washington Square.”

By age 20, she was under contract to Paramount, where she was renamed Carol Adams, and moved into larger, credited roles in “Dancing on a Dime,” “Ice Capades” and “Sis Hopkins.” In 1941 Republic Pictures signed her, and she starred alongside legends

Gene Autry in “Ridin’ on a Rainbow” and Roy Rogers in “Bad Man of Deadwood.”

In 1944 Adams appeared in several of James Roosevelt’s “Soundies” (coin-operated precursors to musicvideos) including “Rhythm on the River,” “Juke Box Joe’s,” “Swing It, Mr. Schubert” and “Doin’ the Hotfoot.”

The same year, Adams toured as a featured dancer with the company of “George White’s Scandals.” She also toured with a variety show headlined by the Ritz Brothers comedy team.

In 1944 Adams married Richard J. Pearl, a studio executive who later became head of the art department at Paramount and Columbia.

She is survived by a son, a daughter, six granddaughters and seven great-grandchildren.

Mark Lenzi obit

Mark Lenzi, Olympic gold medalist and NCAA diving champion at IU, dies at age 43.

 

He was not on the list.

Mark Lenzi, who won the Olympic gold medal on the three meter springboard in Barcelona in 1992, has died. In addition to his memorable win in the Olympics, Lenzi was a two-time NCAA champion on the one meter board while at IU. It's not entirely clear what led to Lenzi's death, but this blog entry from a Fredericksburg, Virginia newspaper suggests that Lenzi had been hospitalized after a series of fainting spells and dangerously low blood pressure. Lenzi returned to IU briefly in the 2000s as an administrative assistant to the swimming and diving program.

Inspired by seeing Greg Louganis earn a gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Lenzi quit wrestling at age 16 and took up diving.

A number of IU alumni have won individual golds in swimming and diving, particularly in the Doc Counsilman glory days of the 1960s and 1970s, when IU won six consecutive team NCAA championships, but Lenzi, who was coached in college and for the Olympics by IU legend Hobie Billingsley, is IU's most recent individual gold medalist. Lenzi retired following the 1992 Olympics, but returned to competition soon thereafter and won the bronze in Atlanta in 1996.

A few years ago, Lenzi spoke to IUhoosiers.com about what his IU ties meant to him:

My time at Indiana is very special to me. I have so many wonderful memories! It is difficult to pick one instance that stands out more than any other. Wearing the cream and crimson, as well as the stars and stripes, made me very proud. I loved competing for Indiana and the United States. If I had to pick a moment that really stands out for me then it would be one that was very recent. Being inducted into the Indiana Hall of Fame a few years ago was one of my proudest moments. I dreamed about it when I first arrived on campus and saw all of the legends in Assembly Hall. Little did I know that one day I would have the honor of being included with this very prestigious group. I was so overcome with emotion at the ceremony that I almost broke down.

Rest in peace, Mark.

Levon Helm obit

Levon Helm, Drummer and Singer of the Band, Dead at 71

Battled throat cancer since the Nineties

 

He was not on the list.

Levon Helm, singer and drummer for the Band, died on April 19th in New York of throat cancer. He was 71.

“He passed away peacefully at 1:30 this afternoon surrounded by his friends and bandmates,” Helm’s longtime guitarist Larry Campbell  tells Rolling Stone. “All his friends were there, and it seemed like Levon was waiting for them. Ten minutes after they left we sat there and he just faded away. He did it with dignity. It was even two days ago they thought it would happen within hours, but he held on. It seems like he was Levon up to the end, doing it the way he wanted to do it. He loved us, we loved him.”

In the late Nineties, Helm – whose singing anchored Band classics like “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “Rag Mama Rag,” and “The Weight” – was diagnosed with throat cancer and underwent 28 radiation treatments, eventually recovering his voice. In recent weeks, however, Helm had canceled a number of shows, including one at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on April 27th and another in Montclair, New Jersey. A note posted to his website on Tuesday from his daughter Amy and wife Sandy said that Helm was in the “final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey. Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration…he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage.”

Born May 26, 1940 in Arkansas, Helm was literally a witness to the birth of rock & roll; as a teenager, he saw Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis in concert and was inspired to play drums after seeing Lewis’ drummer, Jimmy Van Eaton. (Helm went on to play mandolin and other stringed instruments as well). In 1960, Helm joined the backup band of rockabilly wildman Ronnie Hawkins – a group that would eventually include Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko and Garth Hudson, all future members of the Band.

The musicians broke from Hawkins to form their own group – their names included the Crackers and Levon and the Hawks – but it was their association with Bob Dylan that cemented their reputation. After Dylan saw the group in a club (either in Canada or New Jersey, depending on the source), he invited Helm and guitarist Robertson to join his electric band. “Bob Dylan was unknown to us,” Helm wrote in his 1993 memoir This Wheel‘s on Fire. “I knew he was a folksinger and songwriter whose hero was Woody Guthrie. And that’s it.” Robertson and Helm were in Dylan’s electric band for his controversial, frequently booed show at New York’s Forest Hills Tennis Stadium. Afterward, various members of the Band played on Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde and toured with him in 1966. (Helm left temporary in 1965, tired of the ongoing hostility from Dylan’s folk fans.)

Recuperating in Woodstock after his 1966 motorcycle accident, Dylan again hooked up with the band that would soon be the Band. Before Helm rejoined them, they recorded the landmark Basement Tapes, and the Band’s crackling, homespun take on American roots music began to take shape. Rechristening themselves the Band, they signed to Capitol Records and released two classic albums, Music From Big Pink (1968) and The Band (1969). Although Robertson was the Band’s principal songwriter, it was Helm’s beautifully gruff and ornery voice that brought the Canadian Robertson’s mythic Americana songs to life. He was also one of rock’s earliest singing drummers.

In 1976, at Robertson’s urging, the Band broke up after its farewell concert, known as “The Last Waltz.” In meetings before the concert and as recounted in This Wheel‘s on Fire, Helm was adamantly opposed to the group disbanding. “I didn’t want any part of it,” he wrote. “I didn’t want to break up the band.” He begrudgingly went along, but his relationship with Robertson was never the same. After the show, Helm formed his own band, Levon Helm and the RCO All Stars, featuring fellow legends Dr. John, Steve Cropper, and Booker T. Jones, and recorded several solo albums. Helm also ventured into acting with an acclaimed role in 1980’s Coal Miner‘s Daughter, playing Loretta Lynn (Sissy Spacek’s) father. But he couldn’t leave the Band behind, and with Danko, Manuel, and Hudson, he formed a new version of the Band in the early Eighties, recording three new studio albums with them.

The Band continued for a while after Manuel’s suicide by hanging in 1986, but Danko’s death in 1999 of heart failure ended the Band once and for all. By then, Helm was dealing with throat cancer. After his recovery, he began holding intimate concerts in his combination barn and studio in Woodstock, called the “Midnight Ramble,” in part to pay his medical bills. The low-key, woodsy performances became must-see shows and attracted a rock who’s who; Elvis Costello, Natalie Merchant, the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh and Donald Fagen were among the many who joined Helm and his band. The Ramble shows led to two acclaimed Helm solo albums – 2007’s Dirt Farmer, which won a Grammy in the Best Traditional Folk category, and 2009’s Electric Dirt, which resulted in a Grammy for Best Americana album. “This go-round has been a lot more fun,” Helm told Rolling Stone in 2009. “Now I know I’ve got enough voice to do it.”

When the Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Helm didn’t attend, revealing that his feud with Robertson was still on. “I thought Levon was going to show,” Robertson told Rolling Stone a few years later. “Then that evening they said he changed his mind and wasn’t going to come. And I thought, ‘Oh, God, it would have been better if he was here.'”

Helm’s throat cancer had taken a toll on his singing voice. On stage and in recent interviews, his voice was sometimes strong but other times was reduced to a low rasp. But at one his last shows, in Ann Arbor on March 19th with a 13-piece band, the audience roared when he sang the Band classic “Ophelia.” “I’m not the poster boy of good health,” he said in an interview last year. “But I’m not doing too bad. I still got the energy to make music. As long as I can do that, I’m great.”
