Très habile à la volée, elle a gagné treize titres à Wimbledon en simple, double dames et double mixte, ainsi que 17 autres aux Internationaux des États-Unis, dont neuf consécutifs en double dames aux côtés de Margaret Osborne (1942-1950). Elle ne s'est alignée qu'une fois aux Internationaux d'Australie (victoire en 1950 contre Doris Hart) et quatre à Roland Garros (trois demi-finales). En 36 participations en simple dans les épreuves du Grand Chelem, elle a atteint au moins les quarts de finale à trente reprises (et 25 fois les demi-finales), soit l'un des meilleurs ratios de tous les temps. Louise Brough est membre du International Tennis Hall of Fame depuis 1967. Si l'expression « Grand Chelem » désigne classiquement les quatre tournois les plus importants de l'histoire du tennis, elle n'est utilisée pour la première fois qu'en 1933, et n'acquiert la plénitude de son sens que peu à peu à partir des ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Chapters: Bugs Bunny, Chuck Norris, Jim Nabors, Lon Chaney, Sr., Joe Rosenthal, Jack Edwards, James Harbord. Excerpt:Bugs Bunny Bugs Bunny is a fictional character who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1945. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the greatest cartoon character of all time. Currently, he is the corporate mascot for Warner Brothers , especially its animated productions . Bugs starred in 163 shorts in the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films. According to Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare , he was "born" in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York , created by Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare , Bugs Bunny's debut) and Robert McKimson (who created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), among many others. According to Mel Blanc , the character's original voice actor , Bugs Bunny has a Flatbush accent, an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects (of the New York Accent ). His catchphrase is a casual "Eh...what's up, doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot . His other popular phrases include "Of course you realize, this means war" and "Ain't I a stinker?". History The unnamed, prototype Warner Bros. rabbit Main article: Evolution of Bugs Bunny An unnamed rabbit bearing some of the personality, if not physical characteristics of Bugs, first appeared in the cartoon short Porky's Hare Hunt , released on April 30, 1938. Co-directed by Ben Hardaway and an uncredited Cal Dalton (who was responsible for the initial design of the rabbit), this short had a theme almost identical to that of the 1937 cartoon, Porky's Duck Hunt (directed by Tex Avery), which had introduced Daffy Du... ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Lon Chaney (1 avril 1883 - 26 août 1930), surnommé « l'homme aux mille visages », est un acteur de cinéma américain du temps du muet. Il fut l'un des acteurs les plus polyvalents et les plus impressionnants de l'aube du cinéma. On se souvient de lui surtout pour ses compositions de personnages torturés, souvent grotesques et affectés, ainsi que pour son talent novateur en ce qui concerne le maquillage de cinéma. Lon Chaney naquit Leonidas Frank Chaney à Colorado Springs (Colorado), le fils de Frank H. Chaney et d'Emma Alice Kennedy ; son père avait du sang français mais surtout anglais, tandis que sa mère avait des origines irlandaises. Les parents de Chaney étaient sourds tous les deux et, dès l'enfance, Chaney montra quelque talent pour la pantomime. Il commença à monter sur les planches en 1902 et tourna avec des troupes de vaudeville et de théâtre. En 1905, il fit la connaissance de la chanteuse Cleva Creighton et l'épousa alors qu'elle n'avait que seize ans. L'année suivante naquit celui qui restera leur unique enfant, Creighton Chaney, qui fut mieux connu bien plus tard sous le nom de Lon Chaney, Jr.. La famille Chaney poursuivit les tournées, avant de se fixer en Californie en 1910. Malheureusement, leur mariage commença à battre de l'aile et, en avril 1913, Cleva se rendit au Majestic Theatre, situé au centre de Los Angeles, où Lon travaillait à un spectacle, le Kolb a...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

This is nonfiction commentary.Chapters: The Phantom of the Opera, the Stool Pigeon, the Chimney's Secret, the Oyster Dredger, the Violin Maker, the Trust, for Cash. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 32. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Phantom of the Opera is a 1925 silent film adaptation of the Gaston Leroux novel of the same title directed by Rupert Julian. The film featured Lon Chaney in the title role as the masked and facially deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to force the management to make the woman he loves a star. It is most famous for Lon Chaney's intentionally horrific, self-applied make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film's premiere. The film also features Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry, Arthur Edmund Carewe, Gibson Gowland, John St. Polis and Snitz Edwards. The only surviving cast member is Carla Laemmle (born 1909), niece of producer Carl Laemmle, who played a small role as "prima ballerina" in the film when she was about 15. The movie was adapted by Elliott J. Clawson, Frank M. McCormack (uncredited), Tom Reed (titles) and Raymond L. Schrock. It was directed by Rupert Julian, with supplemental direction by Edward Sedgwick, and Lon Chaney (unconfirmed). The scenario presented is based on the general release version of 1925, which has additional scenes and sequences in different order than the existing reissue print (see below). The film opens with the debut of the new season at the Paris Opera House, with a production of Gounod's Faust. Comte Philip de Chagny (John St. Polis) and his brother, the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny (Norman Kerry) are in attendance. Raoul attends only in the hope of hearing his sweetheart Christine Daae (Mary Philbin) sing. Christine, under the tuition of an unknown and mysterious co...http://booksllc.net/?id=308930 ...
