Jimmy Nelson obit

 

Jimmy Nelson, last of TV’s golden era ventriloquists, whose characters Farfel and Danny O’Day were the face of Nestlés Quik, has died

He was not on the list.

The man behind Nestlés Quick’s image in the 1950s and 1960s and who made the company’s jingle popular has died.

Ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson died Sept. 24 at the age of 90 in Florida from complications following a stroke, his family announced Wednesday. He was surrounded by family and friends.

Nelson was the last of the golden era of ventriloquists that included Edgar Bergen, Shari Lewis, Paul Winchell and Senor Wences. His career spanned more than 70 years, but he is most famous to TV viewers in the 1950s and 1960s for appearing with his characters Danny O’Day and a floppy-eared dog named Farfel for commercials and promotions for Nestlés Quick.

James Nelson was born December 15, 1928 in Chicago, middle child of James and Winifred Nelson. In 1938 Jimmy's Aunt Margaret gave him his first ventriloquist "dummy" as a birthday gift, something that she had won as a bingo prize, which he named Dummy Dan/Danny Dum. He used that figure, which his father modified for better movement; until he asked Frank Marshall construct a new Danny in 1945. Marshall had a penchant for trying to make the hand carved wooden figures look like the performer that would be using them so the folks could see to them as related. Nelson was very pleased with the figure and gave his figure an Irish name, like Edgar Bergen's "Charlie McCarthy" and his mentor Bob Evan's "Jerry O'Leary" had before him, by adding O'Day. Two years later in 1947 Jimmy married his high school sweetheart Margot Humphries in Buffalo N.Y.

It was at that time that Danny started to need a little T.L.C. so Jimmy returned to Frank Marshall to have a duplicate made. However the figure "Just didn't look like Danny" said Nelson "but I didn't have the heart, or the nerve, at the age of nineteen to tell Frank that I wasn't a hundred percent satisfied." By 1949 the Nelsons were back in Chicago with their two boys. Talent Agent Louis Cohan got Jimmy better bookings than he was able to get in New York and Jimmy Nelson and Danny O'Day were now in the big time! So Jimmy added the new figure to his act, as the highly cultured Humphrey Higsbye and he became the foil to Danny much like Mortimer Snerd was for Charlie McCarthy. Jimmy went on to host Chicago's Hollard's Happy House on WGN-TV. In 1950 Nelson and Danny appeared for the first time on the Ed Sullivan Show and were a great success with the audience as well as with Sullivan.

That same year Nelson had Marshall construct a dog character and named him "Farfel" after an item on a hotel menu, he brought that new figure with him as he joined the troupe on Milton Berle's "Texaco Star Theater." Nineteen-fifty-one saw the Nelson marriage come to an end and Jimmy moved to New York with his three sons on their own until 1956 when he married the pretty girl singer, Betty Norman, who worked as his supporting act.

The year before his nuptials Jimmy, Danny and Farfel began the Nestlé's campaign that made them even more of a house hold name, if that is possible, than they were on the Milton Berle show.

The facts in this short biography are from Jimmy Nelson himself and Kelly Asbury's book "Dummy Days" where you can find more on Jimmy Nelson, Danny O'Day and Farfel, as well as the four other most well known ventriloquists in American history.

Joyce Reynolds obit

Helen Joyce White Has Died 

She was not on the list.

In memory of of Helen Joyce (Reynolds) White (Los Angeles, California). Born in San Antonio, Texas in 1924 to Joel B. Reynolds and Mary Dunn, Joyce was a Warner Bros. contractor during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She gave up her career in the movies for marriage. Joyce was predeceased by her husband Arthur George White in 1980. She passed away in Los Angeles on September 24, 2019, at the age of 94, and was survived by her two children.

Helen Joyce Reynolds was born in San Antonio, Texas on October 7, 1924 to Joel B. Reynolds and Mary (Dunn) Reynolds. She attended the University of California, Los Angeles. A talent scout who saw her in a play there arranged for a screen test, which led to a film contract.

Reynolds made her acting debut with a small part in the 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy (she is the enthusiastic teen asking the retired George M. Cohan about his show-business background). Her roles became more substantial throughout the decade, appearing in movies such as George Washington Slept Here as Madge, The Constant Nymph as Paula Sanger, and The Adventures of Mark Twain as Clara Clemens. She had top billing in the musical comedy film Janie as Janie Conway, directed by Michael Curtiz.

In 1944, she appeared in Hollywood Canteen as herself. In 1945, Warner announced that Reynolds was retiring to resume her education, and that her contract with the studio had been abrogated. Her final leading role on the big screen came in Girls' School, a 1950 melodrama for Columbia Pictures. Her Hollywood career ended in 1950, with ten credits to her name.

On January 11, 1945, Reynolds married Lieutenant Robert Floyd Lewis of Houston, Texas, in Hollywood. They separated in early 1947. On October 24, 1947, she married Donald Michael Gallery, the adopted son of ZaSu Pitts, in Hollywood. By 1950 the couple were estranged, and the marriage ended in divorce.

RIP Gavin Ralston: Beloved Irish producer and guitarist passes away

 

He was not on the list.

Now, sadly, a wonderful journey in music has come to a premature end...

Tributes are pouring in for Dublin producer and guitarist Gavin Ralston, who has passed away today, September 23.

Spending the last 25 years in the Irish music scene, Gavin built up a reputation as both a consummate professional and talented musician. He played guitar with The Waterboys, Sharon Shannon and Picture House, and produced recordings for Ronnie Drew, Bagatelle and The Receipts, as well as The Coronas' first ever studio session. Mike Scott is among those who paid tribute to Gavin today:

Back in February, a host of A-list Irish bands, including The Waterboys, Sharon Shannon, PictureHouse, Mundy, Mary Black, Cormac Begley and Paul Harrington played 'The Gig For Gav' in Vicar Street, to raise funds for Gavin's treatment for bowel cancer.

In March, Gavin spoke to Hot Press about producing The Receipt's long-awaited debut album.

“I grew up right beside the band,” he said. “I would’ve known The Receipts growing up. When I heard they were doing a record, I was interested. And the amazing thing is that we’re all in our late ’40s, but the passion they have is the same as they had in the ’90s.”

Gavin had to stop production at one point to undertake treatment.

“I was in hospital for four months,” he said. “I remember texting the guys saying, ‘I presume you want to do this with someone else now?’ But they said, ‘No chance of that, we’ll wait until you’re ready.’”

“It was always said, ‘We started it with Gav, we’re finishing it with Gav'," added The Receipt's guitarist Ronan Clinton. "We knew about Gav’s illness, we knew it would be a start-stop process, but that’s how we wanted to do it.”

Robert Hunter obit

Robert Hunter, Grateful Dead Collaborator and Lyricist, Dead at 78

He was not on the list.


Robert Hunter, the poet and writer who provided the Grateful Dead with many of their vivid and enduring lyrics, died Monday night. He was 78. No cause of death was provided.

“It is with great sadness we confirm our beloved Robert passed away yesterday night,” Hunter’s family announced in a statement. “He died peacefully at home in his bed, surrounded by love. His wife Maureen was by his side holding his hand. For his fans that have loved and supported him all these years, take comfort in knowing that his words are all around us, and in that way his is never truly gone. In this time of grief please celebrate him the way you all know how, by being together and listening to the music. Let there be songs to fill the air.”

Considered one of rock’s most ambitious and dazzling lyricists, Hunter was the literary counterpoint to the band’s musical experimentation. His lyrics — heard in everything from early Dead classics like “Dark Star” and “China Cat Sunflower” and proceeding through “Uncle John’s Band,” “Box of Rain,” “Scarlet Begonias,” and “Touch of Gray”— were as much a part of the band as Jerry Garcia’s singing and guitar.

Born Robert Burns in California in 1941, Hunter met Garcia in 1961 at a local production of the musical Damn Yankees, where they were introduced by Hunter’s ex-girlfriend, and Garcia’s then-girlfriend, Diane Huntsburger. The two didn’t immediately hit it off, their friendship took root a couple nights later when they saw each other at a local coffeehouse. Just one year apart in age (Garcia was 18 and Hunter 19 at the time they met), their bond was forged partly through the shared experience of losing a father — Garcia through death, Hunter through divorce.

While Hunter and Garcia played in a few bluegrass bands together, the former passed on an offer to join Garcia’s pre-Grateful Dead jug band to focus instead on writing. At Stanford, Hunter took part in an early LSD experiment (“I had a romping good time,” he recalled) and dabbled in Scientology, but eventually he began to struggle with speed and meth, prompting him to leave the Bay Area for New Mexico. There, Hunter began writing more songs — including future Dead classics “St. Stephen,” “China Cat Sunflower” and “Alligator — which he sent to Garcia, who encouraged him to return to San Francisco and join the Dead as their lyricist.

Eve Fletcher(1926-2019)

She was not on the list.

Eve Fletcher was born in 1926. She is known for The Little Mermaid (1989), FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992) and Coonskin (1974). She died on September 23, 2019.

Fletcher was a California girl who liked to hang out and surf at San Onofre when she wasn’t working as an animator for Walt Disney. Lured across the ocean she flew to Hawai’i in the ’50s with her friend and surfing mentor, Marge Calhoun. They bought a panel truck from Fred van Dyke and had the time of their lives living in it “on surfari” throughout Oahu when they were in their late twenties. Calhoun won the prestigious Makaha International Surfing Championships that year, 1958.

In 2010, Eve said, “I plan to surf till I drop. You are never too old to be stoked.”

Wally Chambers obit

Former Mount Clemens, Chicago Bears player Wally Chambers dies

He was not on the list.

Wally Chambers, the former Mount Clemens High School football player who starred for the Chicago Bears, has died. He was 68.

An administrator in the athletic department at Eastern Kentucky University, Chambers’ alma mater, confirmed the death, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Chambers died Sept. 22, the newspaper said.

He was born May 15, 1951, in Alabama.

Chambers, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive tackle, played five seasons for the Bears during his seven-year NFL career. He also played two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bears selected Chambers at No. 8 in 1973. He started all 14 games that season and 55 of his first 56 with the team. He was a first-team All-Pro in 1976, when he unofficially recorded 14 sacks, a second-team All-Pro twice and a three-time Pro Bowl selection (1973, 1975, 1976).

In his rookie season, Chambers led the Bears in tackles with 101 and assists with 31, and he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Chambers was named to 1972 college All-America teams selected by The Sporting News and Time magazine.

Chambers led Eastern Kentucky in tackles and assists for three straight years and was co-recipient of EKU’s Most Valuable Player Award his senior year. He was a first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference choice in 1972. His jersey No. 78 was retired by the university, and he was a member of the school's hall of fame.

A wall poster honoring Chambers was a fixture at the Mount Clemens gymnasium for many years.

He is survived by his wife, Patsy.

To celebrate the Bears' 100 years, the Chicago Tribune this summer named the team's top 100 players. Chambers was No. 52.

His notable teammates were: Bobby Douglass, Doug Buffone, Dick Butkus, Walter Payton, Bob Avellini, Mike Hartenstine, Doug Plank, Vince Evans, Dave Pear, Lee Roy Selmon, Dewey Selmon, Doug Williams, Ricky Bell, Jimmie Giles, Chuck Fusina, Dave Lewis and Greg Roberts.

He was coached by: Abe Gibron, Jack Pardee, and John McKay.
