Before March 1972, Morgana King was known as a jazz singer with an impressive vocal range and an ability to put a distinctive spin on an eclectic selection of songs.
But by late that month, although she remained an accomplished singer, millions of moviegoers thought of her as Vito Corleone’s wife.
Ms. King had never been in a feature film before playing Mama Corleone in “The Godfather,” which after its release that month became one of the most acclaimed movies of all time.
She was in “Godfather II” as well and had a smattering of other television and film credits, but music was always her passion.

Gene Wilder (...) established himself as one of America’s foremost comic actors with his delightfully neurotic performances in three films directed by Mel Brooks;
his eccentric star turn in the family classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”; and his winning chemistry with Richard Pryor in the box-office smash “Stir Crazy”
(...) for comedy was simple: Don’t try to make it funny; try to make it real.
“I’m an actor, not a clown,” he said more than once.
With his haunted blue eyes and an empathy born of his own history of psychic distress, he aspired to touch audiences much as Charlie Chaplin had.
The Chaplin film “City Lights,” he said, had “made the biggest impression on me as an actor; it was funny, then sad, then both
at the same time.”

spirited Irish-born actress who played strong-willed, tempestuous beauties opposite all manner of adventurers in escapist movies of the 1940s and ’50s
(...)
Ms. O’Hara was called the Queen of Technicolor, because when that film process first came into use, nothing seeme to show off its splendor better than her rich red hair, bright green eyes and flawless peaches-and-cream complexion.
One critic praised her in an otherwise negative review of the 1950 film “Comanche Territory” with the sentiment “Framed in Technicolor, Miss O’Hara somehow seems more significant than a setting sun.”
Even the creators of the process claimed her as its best advertisement.
Yet many of the films that made the young Ms. O’Hara a star were in black and white.
They included her first Hollywood movie, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1939), in which she played the haunted Gypsy girl Esmeralda to Charles Laughton’s Quasimodo;
the Oscar-winning “How Green Was My Valley” (1941), in which she was memorable as a Welsh mining family’s beautiful daughter who marries the wrong man;
“This Land Is Mine” (1943), a war drama in which she was directed by Jean Renoir;
and “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947), the holiday classic in which she played a cynical, modern Macy’s executive who tries to prevent her daughter from believing in Santa Claus.

William Dennis Weaver USA 1924-2006
Dennis Weaver (s') portrayal of Deputy Chester Goode in the classic television western "Gunsmoke" made him the favorite sidekick of the early television era
(...)
The lanky Mr. Weaver became famous for his limping deputy with a drawl, the buddy of Marshal Matt Dillon, a portrayal for which he won an Emmy in 1959.
But he starred in nine television series.
From 1955 to 1964, he was on "Gunsmoke," the longest-running prime-time drama series on television.
He also starred in "Gentle Ben," from 1967 to 1969, playing Tom Wedloe, an Everglades ranger who adopts a black bear as a pet.
He went from nerd to sex symbol in "McCloud," playing Sam McCloud, a New Mexico deputy marshal on loan to the New York City police, who sometimes rode his horse through the city streets.
"McCloud," which was broadcast from 1970 to 1977, earned him two Emmy nominations.
Mr. Weaver also had leading roles in 40 motion pictures, including Orson Welles's 1958 film "Touch of Evil," and the 1971 classic "Duel," directed by a young Steven Spielberg, made for television but released theatrically in Europe.
In it he played the prey of a murderous truck, with an unseen driver.

Jocelyn Rickards, artist and designer 1924-2005
"The new look in English films is reality," declared Pauline Kael in 1961.
Much of that look was created by Australian-born costume designer Jocelyn Rickards, who dressed some of the defining British films of the 1960s - from Look Back In Anger to Blowup, not to mention the classiest of the Bond series.
As films increasingly left the studios to explore real locations - the excited muddle of central London, the grime of precarious bohemia - so Rickards (...) mastered a look of everyday comfort and high fashion innovation.

Gregory Peck ('s) chiseled, slightly melancholy good looks, resonant baritone and quiet strength made him an unforgettable presence in films like ''To Kill a Mockingbird,'' ''Gentleman's Agreement'' and ''Twelve O'Clock High,'' (...)
In a career that spanned half a century, Mr. Peck often played morally anguished heroes who displayed grace under fire.
In his most memorable role, as Atticus Finch in the 1962 film ''To Kill a Mockingbird,'' he won the Academy Award as best actor for his performance as a gentle Southern lawyer who incurs the wrath of his fellow townsfolk when he defends a black man accused of raping a white woman.
In this and other movies his persona as the embodiment of American decency made him a persuasive advocate for the liberal candidates and causes he supported.

A man of lean good looks, Mr. Coburn first established his reputation in ''The Magnificent Seven'' in 1960 and went on to star in more than 80 movies, many of them Westerns and action films, including ''The Great Escape,'' ''Charade,'' and ''Our Man Flint.''
His lanky body and Mephistophelean laugh led directors to type him as a villain, and though he became well known for those roles he never made it to the front rank of Hollywood stars.

Between ''Peter Pan'' in 1924 and ''Dragnet'' in 1947 Ms. Brian appeared in 82 films.
Petite, with blue-gray eyes and dark-brown curls, she was one of Hollywood's romantic leading ladies from the mid-1920's through the late 30's.
While she did not rank with superstars like Clara Bow or Mary Pickford, she was a bankable contract player and a gratifying attraction at the box office.
Her leading men were the likes of Gary Cooper, Lew Ayres, James Cagney, Cary Grant, William Haines, Warner Oland and Dick Powell. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/02/arts/mary-brian-96-an-actress-in-silent-films-and-the-talkies.html

raven-haired Viennese beauty who became one of the reigning temptresses in Hollywood films in the 1930's and 40's, especially as Delilah vamping Victor Mature's Samson
(...)
Miss Lamarr was forever identified with ''Ecstasy,'' a 1933 Czech film in which she appeared nude in a swimming scene and in a lovemaking sequence that was torrid for its time.
The film was banned in many places in the United States for a number of years.
But even though most Americans never saw it, ''Ecstasy'' excited their interest in the actress and shaped her career.

Charles Edward "Buddy" Rogers USA 1904-1999
handsome leading man and band leader who starred in ''Wings'' (1927), the first film to win an Academy Award, and who later married Mary Pickford, ''America's Sweetheart,''
(...)
Six feet tall, slim and with brown eyes and black hair, Mr. Rogers was a versatile musician whose almost inadvertent screen career catapulted him to immediate stardom.
But in some 35 films between 1926 and 1957 -- vehicles with titles like ''Fascinating Youth,'' ''So's Your Old Man,'' ''My Best Girl,'' ''Abie's Irish Rose,'' ''Varsity,'' ''Dance Band,'' ''Golden Hoofs'' and ''Mexican Spitfire's Baby'' -- he never impressed critics as more than a pleasant performer.
He portrayed pilots, college boys, salesmen and lawyers, but he was best remembered for his starring role as an all-American boy who goes off to fight the Hun as a member of the Army Air Corps in William A. Wellman's classic World War I spectacle, ''Wings,'' whose cast included Richard Arlen, Clara Bow and Gary Cooper.
For his portrayal of the young airman, Paramount Pictures paid Mr. Rogers $65 a week and gave him three suits of clothes as a gift.
After seeing him in ''Wings,'' Miss Pickford, one of film's foremost and wealthiest stars, asked that he be cast in her next film, 'My Best Girl.''
In that whimsical 1927 film, she played Maggie Johnson, a pretty salesgirl in a 5-and-10-cent store who captures the heart of Joe Merrill (Mr. Rogers), not knowing he is the son of the owner of the chain of stores.
Miss Pickford, who had been married since 1920 to her second husband, Douglas Fairbanks, captured Mr. Rogers's heart off-screen as well, although they were not married until 1937, after Miss Pickford and Mr. Fairbanks were divorced.
In later years, Mr. Rogers, who was 11 years younger than Miss Pickford, was fond of recalling that Clark Gable ''once told Mary, when we got married, that it wouldn't last six months.''
Their marriage ended only with Miss Pickford's death at 86 in 1979.

Nicknamed the British Rock Hudson, Sir Dirk was Britain's leading movie star during the 1950's, when he starred in adventure films and lightweight comedies, among them an immensely popular series that included ''Doctor in the House'' (1954), ''Doctor at Sea'' (1956), ''Doctor at Large'' (1957) and ''Doctor in Distress'' (1963).
In the 1960's, Sir Dirk gave a series of brilliant performances as intelligent, complex and often morally compromised men in such movies as ''The Servant,'' ''King and Country,'' ''Darling'' and ''Accident.''

personable, unassuming actor who starred in some of the best film comedies of the 1930's and 40's and was later the protagonist in popular Walt Disney fantasies and the television situation comedy "My Three Sons,"
(...)
Reviewers repeatedly praised the charm, credibility and spontaneity of the 6-foot-3-inch-tall, pipe-smoking former saxophonist who had never studied acting.
He had a good-guy image in nearly 80 films, but his most noted roles were cads -- a passion-crazed murderer in "Double Indemnity" (1944) and "Pushover" (1954), a deceitful Navy lieutenant in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954) and an exploitative philanderer in "The Apartment" (1960).

(...)
The actress played a rich mix of characterizations in more than 80 films but developed a distinctive image as a gutsy, self-reliant and self-assured woman whose husky voice and cool exterior usually masked a warm heart.
She was a tough-talking but vulnerable mother in ''Stella Dallas'' (1937), a slang-slinging showgirl in ''Ball of Fire'' (1941), a lurid blonde who orchestrates her husband's murder in ''Double Indemnity'' (1944) and a bedridden neurotic who learns from telephone quirks that she is marked for murder in ''Sorry, Wrong Number'' (1948).

Charles Farrell USA 1900-1990
gentle-mannered actor whose career spanned four decades, ranging from silent films to talkies to the 1950's television series ''My Little Margie,''
(...)
An athletic six-footer, he gained fame as the romantic lead in ''Seventh Heaven'' (1927).
The Times critic Mordaunt Hall said that he was ''splendid'' in that role, playing opposite Janet Gaynor.
''Sometimes he may seem to be a little too swaggering, but what of it?'' Mr. Hall observed.
''The actions suit the young man's agreeable bombast. You find that you like him.''
The Seventh Heaven in the silent film was the walk-up Parisian garret where Mr. Farrell, playing an impecunious laborer, made his home.
Mr. Farrell and Miss Gaynor then co-starred in a series of other film romances.
For seven years they were movieland's leading on-screen romantic couple.
Then his movie career waned.
His film work included serious as well as romantic roles in such films as ''Wings of Youth'' (1925), ''Sandy'' (1926), ''The Rough Riders'' (1927), ' 'Aggie Appleby'' (1933), ''Fighting Youth'' (1935) and ''The Deadly Game'' (1942).
He retired from films in the 1940's.
In television he turned to comedy, starring as a widowed father in more than 100 installments of ''My Little Margie,'' which was widely popular.

Mary Louise Brooks USA 1906-1985
Miss Brooks's films included two early masterpieces made by Georg Wilhelm Pabst, the German director, in 1929 - ''Pandora's Box,'' in which she played the amoral temptress Lulu, and ''Diary of a Lost Girl,'' where she was cast in the role of a middle-class girl of 16 who is seduced.
The 21-year-old American dancer from Cherryvale, Kan., was chosen to play Lulu in Berlin over several German actresses, including Marlene Dietrich.
She had left Hollywood in 1928 after B. P. Schulberg, the Paramount executive, had turned down her request for a raise.
Among her Hollywood films were ''American Venus'' (1926), ''The Show-Off'' (1926), ''Evening Clothes'' (1927), ''Rolled Stockings'' (1927) and ''A Girl in Every Port'' (1928).
When she returned from Germany, her disputes with the Hollywood executives continued and she appeared only in minor roles - in ''God's Gift to Women'' (1931) and ''The Public Enemy'' (1931), among others.
Her last film was ''Overland Stage Riders'' (1938), a John Wayne western.

Sterling Walter Hayden (born Sterling Relyea Walter) USA 1916-1986
handsome blond actor who played wholesome leading-man movie roles in the 1940's and 1950's and later weathered into a rough-hewn solid character actor in films such as ''Dr. Strangelove'' and ''The Godfather,''
(...)
He made more than 50 movies, beginning with ''Virginia'' in 1941, but his abiding love was the sea.
He owned a schooner in California and a 100-foot, Netherlands-based canal barge he used all over Europe.
The strapping, 6-foot-5-inch Mr. Hayden, who made a notable impression with his acting in John Huston's ''Asphalt Jungle'' (1950), in which he appeared as a doomed petty hoodlum, found it difficult to subjugate his love for the sea to his need to make a living as an actor.
(...)
He wrote of his obsessive fascination with the sea in a 1963 autobiography, ''Wanderer,'' in which he also said he would never be able to erase the guilt he felt over his testimony, in 1951, before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Mr. Hayden had admitted past membership in the Communist Party and named several of his Hollywood acquaintances as fellow travelers.
He was praised by the committee as ''an intensely loyal citizen,'' and thus avoided being blacklisted in Hollywood.

George O'Brien USA 1899-1985
George O'Brien (...) acted in 75 films, including the westerns ''Fort Apache'' and John Ford's ''Iron Horse,''
(...)
He began his film career in the early 20's, when a friend introduced him to Tom Mix, a star of Westerns.
Mr. Mix hired Mr. O'Brien as an assistant cameraman at $15 a week.
Eventually Mr. O'Brien moved into jobs as a stuntman and extra, including one that called for him to be knocked by Rudolph Valentino from the rigging of ship into the sea.
In 1924, Mr. O'Brien was chosen for his first starring role, in ''The Iron Horse.''
One of his most acclaimed roles was in the silent film ''Sunrise,'' which also starred Janet Gaynor.
During the 1920's and 30's, he worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Mary Astor, Wallace Beery, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., William Powell and Myrna Loy.
After World War II, he appeared in a number of Western epics, including ''Fort Apache,'' with John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple, and ''She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,'' also with Mr. Wayne.
His last film was Mr. Ford's ''Cheyenne Autumn,'' in 1964.

In the early 60's, he played a rodeo rider on the ''Stoney Burke'' series with Jack Lord and Bruce Dern and, in 1980, starred in the television movie ''My Old Man'' with Kristy McNichol and Eileen Brennan.
His other television films included ''Baby Makes Six'' and ''East of Eden.''

Mr. Oates, who frequently appeared in westerns, said in an interview:
''I want to be like Ben Johnson.
Not just Ben Johnson on the screen, but Ben Johnson in every aspect of his life.
He's a straight, wonderful, natural performer.
He's a purist.''

In more than 200 films made over 50 years, John Wayne saddled up to become the greatest figure of one of America's greatest native art forms, the Western.
The movies he starred in rode the range from out-of-the-money sagebrush quickies to such classics as "Stagecoach" and "Red River."
He won an Oscar as best actor for another western, "True Grit," in 1969.
Yet some of the best films he made told stories far from the wilds of the West, such as "The Quiet Man" and "The Long Voyage Home." — Richard F. Shepard / NYT http://www.nytimes.com/topic/person/john-wayne

The husky rugged actor's renown was anchored in some 90 motion pictures in which he appeared over the last 30 years.
He considered only four or five of them to be any good, he said in an interview a couple of years ago.
His favorite was “The SetUp,” which was released in 1949 and in which he played the role of Stoker Thompson, an aging but determined pugilist.
He also esteemed “Crossfire,” a 1947 movie in which he portrayed a bigoted marine who kills a Jewish war veteran.
The depiction was “frighteningly real,” the critic for The New York Times wrote.
