37,36,Chie,Tuttle,f,"Bel Geddes came to prominence in the 1946 Broadway production of Deep Are the Roots. The performance garnered her the Clarence Derwent Award, the Theatre World Award and the Donaldson Award (forerunner of the Tony Awards) presented to her by Laurette Taylor, for ""Outstanding Achievement in The Theatre"". From 1951 to 1953, Bel Geddes played 924 performances of the F. Hugh Herbert hit comedy The Moon Is Blue. In 1955, she created the role of Maggie ""The Cat"" in Elia Kazan's original Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and in 1961 created the title role in the Jean Kerr comedy Mary, Mary which became Broadway's longest-running show with over 1,500 performances. Both roles earned her Tony Award nominations. Other highlights include John Steinbeck's Burning Bright, Edward Albee's Everything in the Garden, and Silent Night, Lonely Night with Henry Fonda. In 1952, she received the prestigious ""Woman of the Year"" award from Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals, America's oldest theater company; in 1993, having appeared in 15 Broadway productions, she was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame (located in the Gershwin Theatre in New York City), a distinction she shared with her father, stage and industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes. Bel Geddes began her film career starring with Henry Fonda in The Long Night (1947), a remake of the 1939 French film Le Jour Se Lève. ""I went out to California awfully young,"" she remarked. ""I remember Lillian Hellman and Elia Kazan telling me, 'Don't go, learn your craft.' But I loved films."" The following year, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the George Stevens film I Remember Mama. She played Richard Widmark's wife Nancy in Kazan's 1950 film noir Panic in the Streets. In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock cast her with James Stewart in Vertigo as the long-suffering bohemian, Midge. Bel Geddes also starred with Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong in the screen musical The Five Pennies. When an investigation from the House Un-American Activities Committee had Bel Geddes's name put on the Hollywood blacklist during the 1950s, it stalled her film career for a time, and she carried on with her acting on Broadway and an occasional part on television. Bel Geddes found new opportunity in television when she was cast in four episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, including ""Lamb to the Slaughter"", in which she played a housewife who killed her husband by bludgeoning him to death with a frozen leg of lamb, cooking the murder weapon, and then serving it to the investigating police. She appeared in series such as Playhouse 90, CBS Playhouse, Riverboat, Dr. Kildare, and Death Valley Days. In 1977, she starred in the highly acclaimed production of the Thornton Wilder classic Our Town with Hal Holbrook. In 1978, Bel Geddes was the first artist signed to star in Dallas. The role of the family matriarch, Miss Ellie, brought her renewed international recognition. She appeared in many episodes, in almost every season of the series, for a total of 276 episodes from 1978 to 1990 (she was absent from the 1984–85 and 1990–91 seasons) and remains the only cast member to win the Emmy Award (Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress - Drama Series) and the Golden Globe (List of Golden Globe Awards: Television, Best Actress, Drama). In 1985, she also received Germany's Golden Camera Award. Larry Hagman (who was only nine years junior to Bel Geddes), who played J. R. Ewing, told the Associated Press: ""She was the rock of Dallas. She was just a really nice woman and a wonderful actress. She was kind of the glue that held the whole thing together."" In a later interview for the website ""Ultimate Dallas"", Hagman said, ""The reason I took the show, they said Barbara Bel Geddes is going to play your mother, and I said, 'Well, that's a touch of class, you know,' so of course I wanted to work with her."" In 1971, Bel Geddes underwent a radical mastectomy, which was an experience that she relived while playing Miss Ellie in the 1979–1980 season of Dallas. The performance garnered her the Emmy Award. She was also honored by former First Lady Betty Ford for helping to raise breast cancer awareness. On March 15, 1983, Bel Geddes narrowly avoided a heart attack, but the media falsely reported that she had had a heart attack. Only days after she completed filming for the 1982–1983 season, her doctor discovered a condition that required emergency quadruple bypass surgery. Bel Geddes underwent heart surgery, and she missed the first 11 episodes of the 1983–1984 season and was replaced with actress Donna Reed for the 1984–1985 season. With her health improved, CBS-TV persuaded Lorimar Productions to return Bel Geddes to the role of Miss Ellie for the 1985–1986 season. Bel Geddes remained in the role until the later stages of the penultimate season of Dallas in 1990.","Bel Geddes was born on October 31, 1922, in New York City, the daughter of Helen Belle (née Schneider; 1891–1938) and stage and industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes (1893–1958).

41,40,Irene,Swaim,f,"In 1966, Bergen made her screen debut playing a university student in The Group, directed by Sidney Lumet, who knew Bergen's family.  The film delicately touched on the subject of lesbianism.  The film was a major critical and financial success. After the film’s success, Bergen left college to focus on her career. She played the role of Shirley Eckert, an assistant school teacher, in The Sand Pebbles (1966) with Steve McQueen.  The movie was nominated for several Academy Awards and was a big financial success.  It was made for 20th Century Fox. She guest starred on an episode of Coronet Blue, whose director Sam Wanamaker recommended her for a part in The Day the Fish Came Out (1967) directed by Michael Cacoyannis, distributed by Fox.  The film was a box office flop, but Fox nevertheless signed her to a long-term contract. Bergen was announced for the role of Anne in Valley of the Dolls, but did not appear in the film. Bergen went to France to appear in Claude Lelouch's romantic drama Live for Life (1967) opposite Yves Montand, popular in France but not the US. In 1968, she played the leading female role in The Magus, a British mystery film for Fox starring Michael Caine and Anthony Quinn that was almost universally ridiculed on its release and was another major flop. She was featured in a 1970 political satire, The Adventurers, based on a novel by Harold Robbins, playing a frustrated socialite.  Her salary was $200,000.  The film received negative reviews, but made a profit at the box office. Bergen called it a ""movie out of the 1940s."" Bergen played the girlfriend of Elliott Gould in Getting Straight (1970), a counter-culture movie which was commercially popular.  She said it took her career in ""a new direction... my first experience with democratic, communal movie making."" She also starred in the controversial Western Soldier Blue (1970), a worldwide hit but a failure in its homeland, perhaps because of its unflattering portrayal of the U.S. Cavalry.  The film's European success led to Bergen's being voted by British exhibitors as the seventh-most popular star at the British box office in 1971. Bergen received some strong reviews for her support role in Carnal Knowledge (1971), directed by Mike Nichols.  Bergen appeared with Oliver Reed in The Hunting Party (1971), a violent Western which drew terrible reviews and flopped at the box office, then had the lead role in the drama T.R. Baskin (1971).  She described the latter as the first role ""that is really sort of a vehicle, where I have to act and not just be a sort of decoration"" saying she'd decided ""it was time for me to get serious about acting."" Bergen was absent from screens for a few years. She returned with a support part in a British heist film, 11 Harrowhouse (1974), then did a Western with Gene Hackman and James Coburn, Bite the Bullet (1975).  Both films were modest successes. In 1975, she replaced Faye Dunaway at the last minute to co-star with Sean Connery in The Wind and the Lion (1976), as a strong-willed American widow kidnapped in the Moroccan desert.  The film drew mixed reviews and broke even at the box office. Bergen was reunited with Hackman in The Domino Killings (1977) for Stanley Kramer and hosted Saturday Night Live.  A frequent host on Saturday Night Live, she was the first woman to host the show and the first host to do a second show.  She was also the first woman to join the Five-Timers Club, when she hosted for the fifth time in 1990.  Bergen guest-starred on The Muppet Show in its first year, appearing in several skits, an episode now available in a DVD collection. She appeared in A Night Full of Rain (1978) for Lina Wertmüller and was the love interest of Ryan O'Neal's character in the Love Story sequel, Oliver's Story (1978).  She had taken photographs for many years and around this time starting exhibiting them in galleries. Bergen's father died in 1978. In her memoir A Fine Romance, she mentions how she was left out of his will, bequeathed his dummy Charlie McCarthy, later explaining how she felt that her father had a stronger bond with Charlie than her. She later said: Bergen appeared in the Burt Reynolds romantic comedy Starting Over (1979), for which she received Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for best supporting actress. She portrayed a best-selling author in Rich and Famous (1981) with Jacqueline Bisset.  A remake of the Bette Davis film Old Acquaintance, it was not a success. In 1982, Bergen appeared in the Oscar-winning film Gandhi in which she portrayed documentary photographer Margaret Bourke-White.  Bergen was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. In 1984 she joined the Broadway cast of Hurlyburly. On television, Bergen appeared as Morgan Le Fay in Arthur the King (1985) and in the miniseries Hollywood Wives (1985).  She was Burt Reynolds' romantic interest in Stick (1985), and for TV appeared in Murder: By Reason of Insanity (1985) and Mayflower Madam (1987). In addition to acting, Bergen has written articles, a play, and a memoir, Knock Wood (1984). She has also studied photography and worked as a photojournalist. In 1988, she took the lead role in the sitcom Murphy Brown, in which she played a tough television reporter. The series provided her with the opportunity to show her little-seen comic talent, and although primarily a conventional sitcom, the show did tackle important issues. Murphy Brown, a recovering alcoholic, became a single mother and later battled breast cancer. In 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle criticized prime-time TV for showing the Murphy Brown character ""mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another lifestyle choice."" Quayle's disparaging remarks were subsequently written into the show, with Murphy shown watching Quayle's speech in disbelief at his insensitivity and ignorance of the reality of the lives of single mothers. A subsequent episode explored the subject of family values within a diverse set of families. The Brown character arranges for a truckload of potatoes to be dumped in front of Quayle's residence, an allusion to an infamous incident in which Quayle erroneously directed a school child to spell the word ""potato"" as ""potatoe"". In reality, Bergen agreed with at least some of Quayle's observations, saying that while the particular remark was ""an arrogant and uninformed posture"", as a whole, it was ""a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did."" Bergen's run on Murphy Brown was extremely successful. The show ran for ten seasons and between 1989 and 1998, Bergen was nominated for an Emmy Award seven times and won five. After her fifth win, she declined future nominations for the role. Throughout the same time frame as Murphy Brown, Bergen also appeared as the main spokesperson for a Sprint telephone ad campaign. She produced and starred in the TV movie Mary & Tim (1996). After playing the role of Murphy Brown, Bergen was offered a chance to work as a real-life journalist: After the  show ended in 1998, CBS approached her to cover stories for 60 Minutes. She declined the offer, saying she didn't want to blur the lines between actor and journalist. Subsequently, Bergen hosted Exhale with Candice Bergen on the Oxygen network. She also appeared in character roles in films, including Miss Congeniality (2000), where she played villainous pageant host Kathy Morningside; she also portrayed the mayor of New York in Sweet Home Alabama (2002) and appeared in the Gwyneth Paltrow flight-attendant comedy, View from the Top (2003). She had roles in The In-Laws (2003), Footsteps (2003), a thriller, and appeared in 3 episodes of Sex and the City as Enid Frick, Carrie Bradshaw's editor at Vogue. In January 2005, Bergen joined the cast of the television series Boston Legal as Shirley Schmidt, a founding partner in the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. She played the role for five seasons.

The film delicately touched on the subject of lesbianism.  The film was a major critical and financial success. After the film’s success, Swaim left college to focus on her career. She played the role of Shirley Eckert, an assistant school teacher, in The Sand Pebbles (1966) with Steve McQueen.  The movie was nominated for several Academy Awards and was a big financial success.  It was made for 20th Century Fox. She guest starred on an episode of Coronet Blue, whose director Sam Wanamaker recommended her for a part in The Day the Fish Came Out (1967) directed by Michael Cacoyannis, distributed by Fox.  The film was a box office flop, but Fox nevertheless signed her to a long-term contract. Swaim was announced for the role of Anne in Valley of the Dolls, but did not appear in the film. Swaim went to France to appear in Claude Lelouch's romantic drama Live for Life (1967) opposite Yves Montand, popular in France but not the US. In 1968, she played the leading female role in The Magus, a British mystery film for Fox starring Michael Caine and Anthony Quinn that was almost universally ridiculed on its release and was another major flop. She was featured in a 1970 political satire, The Adventurers, based on a novel by Harold Robbins, playing a frustrated socialite.  Her salary was $200,000.  The film received negative reviews, but made a profit at the box office. Swaim called it a ""movie out of the 1940s."" Swaim played the girlfriend of Elliott Gould in Getting Straight (1970), a counter-culture movie which was commercially popular.  She said it took her career in ""a new direction... my first experience with democratic, communal movie making."" She also starred in the controversial Western Soldier Blue (1970), a worldwide hit but a failure in its homeland, perhaps because of its unflattering portrayal of the U.S. Cavalry.  The film's European success led to Swaim's being voted by British exhibitors as the seventh-most popular star at the British box office in 1971. Swaim received some strong reviews for her support role in Carnal Knowledge (1971), directed by Mike Nichols.  Swaim appeared with Oliver Reed in The Hunting Party (1971), a violent Western which drew terrible reviews and flopped at the box office, then had the lead role in the drama T.R. Baskin (1971).  She described the latter as the first role ""that is really sort of a vehicle, where I have to act and not just be a sort of decoration"" saying she'd decided ""it was time for me to get serious about acting."" Swaim was absent from screens for a few years. She returned with a support part in a British heist film, 11 Harrowhouse (1974), then did a Western with Gene Hackman and James Coburn, Bite the Bullet (1975).  Both films were modest successes. In 1975, she replaced Faye Dunaway at the last minute to co-star with Sean Connery in The Wind and the Lion (1976), as a strong-willed American widow kidnapped in the Moroccan desert.  The film drew mixed reviews and broke even at the box office. Swaim was reunited with Hackman in The Domino Killings (1977) for Stanley Kramer and hosted Saturday Night Live.  A frequent host on Saturday Night Live, she was the first woman to host the show and the first host to do a second show.  She was also the first woman to join the Five-Timers Club, when she hosted for the fifth time in 1990.  Swaim guest-starred on The Muppet Show in its first year, appearing in several skits, an episode now available in a DVD collection. She appeared in A Night Full of Rain (1978) for Lina Wertmüller and was the love interest of Ryan O'Neal's character in the Love Story sequel, Oliver's Story (1978).  She had taken photographs for many years and around this time starting exhibiting them in galleries. Swaim's father died in 1978. In her memoir A Fine Romance, she mentions how she was left out of his will, bequeathed his dummy Charlie McCarthy, later explaining how she felt that her father had a stronger bond with Charlie than her. She later said: Swaim appeared in the Burt Reynolds romantic comedy Starting Over (1979), for which she received Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for best supporting actress. She portrayed a best-selling author in Rich and Famous (1981) with Jacqueline Bisset.  A remake of the Bette Davis film Old Acquaintance, it was not a success. In 1982, Swaim appeared in the Oscar-winning film Gandhi in which she portrayed documentary photographer Margaret Bourke-White.  Swaim was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. In 1984 she joined the Broadway cast of Hurlyburly. On television, Swaim appeared as Morgan Le Fay in Arthur the King (1985) and in the miniseries Hollywood Wives (1985).  She was Burt Reynolds' romantic interest in Stick (1985), and for TV appeared in Murder: By Reason of Insanity (1985) and Mayflower Madam (1987). In addition to acting, Swaim has written articles, a play, and a memoir, Knock Wood (1984). She has also studied photography and worked as a photojournalist. In 1988, she took the lead role in the sitcom Murphy Brown, in which she played a tough television reporter. The series provided her with the opportunity to show her little-seen comic talent, and although primarily a conventional sitcom, the show did tackle important issues. Murphy Brown, a recovering alcoholic, became a single mother and later battled breast cancer. In 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle criticized prime-time TV for showing the Murphy Brown character ""mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another lifestyle choice."" Quayle's disparaging remarks were subsequently written into the show, with Murphy shown watching Quayle's speech in disbelief at his insensitivity and ignorance of the reality of the lives of single mothers. A subsequent episode explored the subject of family values within a diverse set of families. The Brown character arranges for a truckload of potatoes to be dumped in front of Quayle's residence, an allusion to an infamous incident in which Quayle erroneously directed a school child to spell the word ""potato"" as ""potatoe"". In reality, Swaim agreed with at least some of Quayle's observations, saying that while the particular remark was ""an arrogant and uninformed posture"", as a whole, it was ""a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did."" Swaim's run on Murphy Brown was extremely successful. The show ran for ten seasons and between 1989 and 1998, Swaim was nominated for an Emmy Award seven times and won five. After her fifth win, she declined future nominations for the role. Throughout the same time frame as Murphy Brown, Swaim also appeared as the main spokesperson for a Sprint telephone ad campaign. She produced and starred in the TV movie Mary & Tim (1996). After playing the role of Murphy Brown, Swaim was offered a chance to work as a real-life journalist: After the  show ended in 1998, CBS approached her to cover stories for 60 Minutes. She declined the offer, saying she didn't want to blur the lines between actor and journalist. Subsequently, Swaim hosted Exhale with Irene Swaim on the Oxygen network. She also appeared in character roles in films, including Miss Congeniality (2000), where she played villainous pageant host Kathy Morningside; she also portrayed the mayor of New York in Sweet Home Alabama (2002) and appeared in the Gwyneth Paltrow flight-attendant comedy, View from the Top (2003). She had roles in The In-Laws (2003), Footsteps (2003), a thriller, and appeared in 3 episodes of Sex and the City as Enid Frick, Carrie Bradshaw's editor at Vogue. In January 2005, Swaim joined the cast of the television series Boston Legal as Shirley Schmidt, a founding partner in the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. She played the role for five seasons. In 2006 and 2008, she received Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Of the separation, Bonham Carter told Harper's Bazaar: ""Everyone always says you have to be strong and have a stiff upper lip, but it's okay to be fragile.... You've got to take very small steps, and sometimes you won't know where to go next because you've lost yourself."" She added: ""With divorce, you go through massive grief—it is a death of a relationship, so it's utterly bewildering. Your identity, everything, changes.""
