Harold F. Kress; Film Editor Won 2 Oscars
By MYRNA OLIVER, L.A. Times Staff Writer
Harold F. Kress, Academy Award-winning film editor for both the 1962 Cinerama epic "How the West Was Won" and the 1974 disaster movie "The Towering Inferno," has died at age 86. Kress died Sept. 18 in Palm Desert.
Although he directed a few documentaries and B movies, Kress made his real mark as an editor, becoming one of the most respected in the industry. He spent 40 years with MGM Studios and Columbia
Pictures and edited more than 50 major motion pictures.
His colleagues elected him to the board of the American Cinema Editors and to the presidency of the Motion Picture Editors Guild.
When Kress received the American Cinema Editors' Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992, he reminded his counterparts of his early battle with studios for recognition.
"We wanted to get our names from the bottom of the crawl to the
top, with the director, cinematographer and costume designer," he said. And he achieved that.
The ACE also gave him its editing achievement award three
decades earlier for "How the West Was Won," starring Henry Fonda
and John Wayne.
The handful of films directed by Kress included the westerns
"The Painted Hills" in 1951, starring Lassie the collie, and "Apache
War Smoke" in 1952, starring Gilbert Roland.
The Pittsburgh-born and UCLA-educated Kress had started
editing far earlier, and that remained his strongest skill. His first
credits appeared in 1939 with "These Glamour Girls," starring Lana
Turner and Anita Louise, and "It's a Wonderful World," with Claudette Colbert and James Stewart.
Among the films shaped by Kress' editing were "Andy Hardy
Meets Debutante," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Mrs. Miniver,"
"Madame Curie," "The Dragon Seed," "The Yearling" and "East Side, West Side" in the 1940s, and "Rose Marie," "Valley of the Kings," "I'll Cry Tomorrow," "Teahouse of the August Moon," "The Rack," "Silk Stockings" and "Imitation General" in the 1950s.
In the 1960s, Kress' output included "Home From the Hill," "King
of Kings," his Oscar-winning "How the West Was Won" and "The
Greatest Story Ever Told." In the 1970s, he handled such films as
"The Poseidon Adventure," "The Iceman Cometh," the Oscar-winner
"The Towering Inferno," "Viva Knievel!" and "The Swarm."
Kress is survived by his wife of 64 years, Zelda; a son, Carl; a
sister, Hilda Hirsch; and two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Agreed & fyi, song credit is given to Bowie, Alomar & John Lennon (who
co-sang, in addition to playing 2nd guitar & coming up with the groove
along with Alomar). James Brown's version came out a little later. My
guess is he was betting those guys wouldn't have the nerve to sue him for
stealing a clearly JB-esque groove.

It's true; there's a JB/Sly & Robbie collaboration in the vaults
somewhere, unreleased due to his demand for 100% writing credit. Now
segueing back...anyone heard his organ instrumental records on Smash?
Billy Preston he ain't, but enjoyable nontheless. Especially the pop
songs; generally just instrumental tracks with no organ until the solo,
when the song inexplicably becomes a 12-bar blues in C (modulating as
necessary).

Marion Zimmer Bradley
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Science fiction author Marion Zimmer Bradley, whose "The Mists of Avalon" was a national bestseller, died Saturday after suffering a heart attack. She was 69.
Ms. Bradley, born in Albany, N.Y., in 1930, began writing science fiction for pulp magazines in the 1950s.
"The Mists of Avalon," published in 1982, was a retelling of the King Arthur legend from a woman's viewpoint. Her "Darkover" series of novels, about a planet colonized by Earth, also was a top science-fiction seller.
September 29, 1999 NYTimes
Marion Zimmer Bradley, 69, Writer of Darkover Fantasies
Marion Zimmer Bradley, a science fiction writer and the creator of the Darkover series of fantasies, died on Saturday at Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley, Calif. She was 69 and lived in Berkeley.
The cause was a heart attack, said Elisabeth Waters, her cousin and secretary.
Ms. Bradley rose to fame in 1958 with the publication of "The Planet Savers," the first of her top-selling Darkover novels. The series eventually comprised 21 books, written almost exclusively by Ms. Bradley, which told the story of a planet discovered at the end of the 21st century and colonized by Earth.
She later worked primarily in the fantasy genre, often adding a feminist spin to well-known myths. In 1983, she published her most famous work, "The Mists of Avalon," a retelling of the legend of King Arthur from the vantage point of its principal women -- Viviane, Gwynyfar, Morgaine and Igraine. Hailed by Maureen Quilligan in The New York Times as "a massive narrative that is rich in events placed in landscapes no less real for often being magical," the novel remained on the Times best-seller list for four months. In her 1987 work "The Firebrand," she retold the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of the goddess Cassandra, whom she renamed Kassandra.
Born in Albany, N.Y., Ms. Bradley began to write as a teen-ager and by the age of 17 had created a magazine for science-fiction fans. Two years later she began writing for pulp magazines. In 1964 she graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, and then did graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley from 1965 to 1967.
Though she continued to write until her death, Ms. Bradley's poor health in the early 1990s limited her activities. She devoted much of her time to editing magazines, including her own, Mary Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called "Sword and Sorceress" from Daw Books in New York.
Ms. Bradley's marriage to Robert Alden Bradley ended in divorce in 1964. She is survived by three children, David Bradley of Oakland, Calif.; Patrick Breen of Denver, and Moira Stern of Sparks, Nev.; a brother, Leslie Zimmer of East Greenbush, N.Y., and two grandchildren.

Subject: (exotica) AstroSlut Concert Report and Poster Scan.
In a world hungering and thirsting for AstroSlut......
Got a chance to see La Jane's band AstroSlut twice now. Once in the spring
and again last Saturday.
Hearing the songs that most likely will be on the AstroSlut CD "Love at
Zero G" to be released on
November 1st. I am anticipating the release like the rabid fan that I am!
They are neat songs, the musicianship and singing by Jane is great. Drew's
fiance on keyboards/Moog and
backing vocals. I don't know the names of the rest of the band but was
impressed by the guitar player who
had so many petals to create so may effects that the guitar could have been
an organ. Lots of driving
Go-Go beats by the bass and drum players. The drummer broke one of his
sticks during the gig.
I only noticed this because the broken piece went flying across the room.
Picked up an AstroSlut T shirt which I will be proudly wearing at the gym
during lunch. And I stole an AstroSlut
poster off the wall after the concert. Scanned it into my Web page and you
