Bill Macy was born on 18 May 1922 in Revere, Massachusetts, USA. He was an actor, known for The Jerk (1979), Maude (1972) and Analyze This (1999). He was married to Samantha Harper and Judith Janus. He died on 17 October 2019 in Los Angeles, California, USA.- In addition to his extensive film and television work, Kip has been called by critics "one of the theater's most important actors". Starring roles in Premieres include "Dave Vaughn" in "Catskill Sonata" directed by Paul Mazursky, Harry Houdini in "Harry And Arthur" directed by William Shatner, Ben Hecht in "Moonlight And Magnolias", "Ralph Edwards" in "Gretty Goodtime", "Josh Green" in "2 Across", "Adam Penzius" in Michael Weller's "What The Night Is For", and "Paul Wolfowitz" in the Mark Taper Forum's production of "Stuff Happens" for which he received an Ovation Nomination. His one-man shows "Mister Moody.. 82 minutes with Christ" and "Men Women And Assassins" have also enjoyed much critical success along with their musical recordings. Months after graduating college, Kip settled in Chicago and his initial audition earned him his first professional break co-starring in "Irma La Douce". Starring roles followed in productions of "Funny Girl", "Light Up The Sky", "Little Mary Sunshine", "Send Me No Flowers" and "Pal Joey" as he worked non-stop for a year in the windy city. He then settled in New York where he was instantly cast in an improv review called "Weigh-In Weigh-Out". Soon, he was picked out of the show by several William Morris agents (one was Judy Abbott, the daughter of legendary director and writer George Abbott) and his busy career began in earnest. New York Theater projects followed for several years including the premier of Mark Medoff's "The Wager" directed by Anthony Perkins followed by "Barefoot In The Park", the Public Theater's production of "Lotta", and culminating with the hit "Company". The hit musical "Purlie" with Robert Guillaume brought him to Los Angeles where he soon became recognizable to the prime-time TV world. He has since starred as a regular on Loves Me, Loves Me Not (1977), Trapper John, M.D. (1979), Foot in the Door (1983), Dorothy (1979), "Closeup News", Studio 5-B (1989), Nurses (1991) and has recurred on Doctor Doctor (1989) and Relativity (1996). The son of a traveling salesman dad, Kip has lived in Boston, Rochester, Cleveland, Chicago, and, now, bi-coastalizes between New York City and the Santa Monica Mountains. Gilman's dramatic, comedic and musical performances in television, film and stage are a testament to his incredible versatility and what makes him one of the most fascinating and talented actors in the business.

Burt Shonberg was born on 30 March 1933 in Revere, Massachusetts, USA. He was an art director, known for House of Usher (1960), The Brain Eaters (1958) and The Premature Burial (1962). He died on 16 September 1977 in Orange, California, USA.- In the tragic history of Boston Red Sox baseball from 1919 through 2003, the era characterized by the "Curse of the Bambino' (which was brought down on the BoSox after the franchise sold the greatest player in the history of the game to the New York Yankees so Red Sox owner Harry Frazee' could get the funds to finance the play that served as basis for the musical No, No, Nanette (1930)), perhaps no event is more tragic -- not the loses in the seventh, final and deciding games of the 1946, 1967, 1975, and 1986 World Series -- than what transpired on August 18, 1967. On that day, Tony Conigliaro, the 22-year-old Red Sox right fielder who appeared fated for greatness and a Hall of Fame career, was hit in the left cheek by a fastball thrown by California Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton in a home game at Fenway Park.
The pitched ball shattered Conigliaro's cheekbone and cracked the orbital bone encasing his left eye. More ominously, the impact severely damaged the retina of his left eye. The beaning was so severe that Conigliaro dropped down to the ground face first, sprawled before home plate, as if pole-axed, bleeding from the nose and eye. Pitcher Jack Hamilton, who approached the prone Conigliaro to assess his condition, was restrained and lead away by his own catcher, Buck Rodgers, so as not to be affected by the sight of the carnage.
Conigliaro was taken off the field in a stretcher, and pictures of him with a ghastly black eye were carried by the press after he had recovered. (One picture would grace the cover of "Sports Illustrated" magazine in 1970, to advertise an excerpt from his just-published biography, "Seeing It Through", the title a pun on the effect of the injury on his eyesight.) The injury was so severe, he missed the rest of the season, and the Red Sox's first trip to the World Series in 21 years, the so-called "Impossible Dream" pennant. He would not return to the Red Sox for 18 months.
Anthony Richard Conigliaro, who was known and loved by Red Sox fans as "Tony C", was a local boy, born in Revere, Massachusetts, a seaside suburb of Boston. He made his major league debut with the Red Sox in 1964, as a 19-year old, and was a leading candidate for rookie of the Year Honors, batting .290 with 24 home runs and 52 RBI in 111 games when his season ended with a broken arm in August. The following year, the 20-year old Tony C. became the youngest player to lead a major league in home runs when he topped the American League with 32 dingers. In the fateful year of 1967, Tony C. was selected for the All-Star Game. It was the season in which, at the age of 22, he would became the youngest A.L. player to hit a total of 100 home runs. He also was the New England teeny-boppers' favorite player, having launched a singing career.
According to sabremetrics, the study of baseball statistics, the player most similar to Tony C. when he was 20 and 21 was Mickey Mantle while the player most similar to him at the age of 22 was Frank Robinson, both first-ballot Hall of Famers. (The player most similar, statistically, when he was 24 and 25 years old, after his return to the Red Sox, was Jose Canseco, an outstanding player who might have made the Hall of Fame but for his lackadaisical attitude and public revelation of steroid abuse -- his own and that of other players.)
In August 1967, Tony C. was replaced in the line-up by Ken Harrelson, who was traded to Cleveland after the 1968 season in which "The Hawk" lead the A.L. in runs batted in (R.B.I.). With right field now his for the taking, Conigliaro came back to the Red Sox for the 1969 season and played 141 games, slugging 20 homers and batting in 82 runs, a performance that saw him win the Hutch Award for "Comeback Player of the Year". The following year, Tony C. set career-highs of 36 home runs and 116 RBIs, but he was traded after the end of the season, in October, to the California Angels. He proved a flop in Anaheim, batting just .222 with four homers and 15 RBIs in a half-season of 74 games, hampered by poor eye-sight. In 1975, the year that the Red Sox would win their first A.L. pennant since '67, Tony C. tried another comeback, but he soon retired permanently due to the bad eyesight caused by his beaning eight years earlier.
Tony C. remained a popular figure in the greater Boston area, running a nightclub with his former major league player brother Billy Conigliaro. It was while being driven to the airport by brother Billy that Tony C., after having interviewed for a broadcasting job, suffered a heart-attack on January 3, 1982, four days short of his 37th birthday. Tony C.'s heart stopped for many minutes, and he subsequently suffered a stroke and lapsed into a coma. Conigliaro remained in a vegetative state until his death on February 24, 1990. He was 45 years old. In commemoration, the Red Sox wore black armbands that season, in which they won the American League East pennant.
The Red Sox Nation mourned the death of their tragic hero, and continues to mourn, marking the 40th anniversary of the beaning that derailed such a promising career, and seemed to curse Tony C. On August 18, 2007, his memory was honored before a game at Fenway Park, and a section of seats at the venerable ball-yard was named "Conigliaro's Corner" to honor the late, lamented, never-to-be-forgotten Tony C.
The Tony Conigliaro Award is given annually to the major league player who best overcomes an obstacle and continues to play well through the adversity. - Actress
