Julia Ann “Julie” Harris (December 2, 1925 – August 24, 2013) was an American stage, screen, and television actress. She won five Tony Awards, three Emmy Awards and a Grammy Award, and was nominated for an Academy Award. In 1994, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. She was a member of the American Theatre Hall of Fame and received the 2002 Special Lifetime Achievement Tony Award.
Harris’s screen debut was in 1952, repeating her Broadway success as the monumentally lonely teenage girl Frankie in Carson McCullers’ The Member of the Wedding, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. That film also preserves the original Broadway cast performances of Ethel Waters and Brandon deWilde. That same year, she won her first Best Actress Tony for originating the role of insouciant Sally Bowles in I Am a Camera, the stage version of Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin (later adapted as the musical Cabaret on Broadway in 1966 and, in the 1972 film, with Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles). Harris repeated her stage role in the film version of I Am a Camera (1955). She also appeared in such films as East of Eden (also 1955), with James Dean (with whom she became close friends), Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962), with Paul Newman in the private-detective film Harper (1966), and Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967).
Harris played the ethereal Eleanor Lance in The Haunting (1963), director Robert Wise’s screen adaptation of a novel by Shirley Jackson, a classic film of the horror genre. Another cast member recalled Harris maintaining a social distance from the other actors while not on set, later explaining that she had done so as a method of emphasizing the alienation from the other characters experienced by her character in the film.
She reprised her Tony-winning role as Mary Todd Lincoln in 1973’s play The Last of Mrs. Lincoln in the film version, which appeared in 1976. Another noteworthy film appearance was in the World War II drama The Hiding Place (1975).
Harris received ten Tony Award nominations, more than any other performer. She also held the record for most Tony wins (five) until Angela Lansbury tied her in 2009. Lansbury and Audra McDonald are the only other performers to have had five acting Tony Award wins. In 1966, Harris won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago theatre. Her Broadway credits include The Playboy of the Western World, Macbeth, The Member of the Wedding, A Shot in the Dark, Skyscraper, And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little, Forty Carats, The Glass Menagerie, A Doll’s House and The Gin Game.

Thomas Paul ‘Tompall’ Glaser (September 3, 1933 – August 13, 2013) was an American country music artist. He was born in Spalding, Nebraska in 1933.
Active since the 1950s, he recorded solo artist and with his brothers Chuck and Jim in the trio Tompall & the Glaser Brothers. Tompall Glaser’s highest-charting solo single was Shel Silverstein’s “Put Another Log on the Fire”, which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 1975 and appeared with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Jessi Colter on the album Wanted! The Outlaws. The Glaser Bros. also were back-up singers for Marty Robbins in the 1950s.
On the 1976 compilation Wanted! The Outlaws – Waylon Jennings pushed for his inclusion on what would be the first country album to sell a million copies — seemed to set Tompall Glaser up for stardom, but it didn’t quite turn out that way. He delivered one more album for MGM, 1975’s The Great Tompall and His Outlaw Band, before leaving for ABC, where he delivered the confusingly titled Tompall Glaser and His Outlaw Band in 1977, following it later that year with Wonder of It All. These two records sounded slicker than any of his MGM work, yet that didn’t help him gain a larger audience. Soon enough, Tompall blew whatever money he had from Wanted!, fell out with Waylon, and patched up his relationship with his siblings, and the Glaser Brothers signed with Elektra’s new Nashville branch in 1978.
Tompall released one last solo album in 1986 — the slick Nights on the Borderline, containing revivals of both “Streets of Baltimore” and “Put Another Log on the Fire” — before selling Hillbilly Central and retreating from the spotlight.
Though his voice is weaker, and the musical arrangements a little different than what we remember, Glen Campbell is still bringing us the best he has to give. His new album, “See You There,” could be the last for one of country music’s most popular artists.
During his career, which has be going strong for more than 50 years, the country music singer, guitarist, television host, and sometimes actor has been involved in nearly every aspect of the business. He even hosted his own variety show on CBS from 1969 to 1972.
Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in December 2010, the 77 years old recently canceled the remaining dates on his Farewell Tour, stating the reason that his disease was worsening. But somewhere in the midst of all that, Glen recorded a new album for us.
“See You There” gives us 12 songs, including some of his most famous, and some new ones. “Gentle on My Mind” will always be one of my favorite Glen Campbell songs. While you can find videos on YouTube, they are just the song, with pictures of Glen appearing where the video should be. If there was ever an actual music video done to this song, I haven’t been able to find it. Written by the late John Hartford, this song would have made a wonderful music video. There is a whole movie in the three minutes of great melody with story-telling lyrics.
Fans who remember Glen for songs like “Galveston,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix”, “Wichita Lineman,” and “Rhinestone Cowboy” won’t be disappointed. Those songs are all on the new album. But, Glen didn’t just pull them out of his collection of recorded music and include them on this CD. He recorded them again. This time, the songs are missing the vibrant orchestration that they had before, but they do seem to be more personal. “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” is now little more than an acoustic performance, and it’s beautifully done.
Glen co-wrote “There’s No Me…Without You,” with Julian Raymond for the 2011 album “Ghost on Canvas”. That album also included “I Wish You Were Here” and “What I wouldn’t Give” as bonus tracks. The song “Waiting on the Comin’ of My Lord,” is on the album twice. The first version is just Glen, with a little bit of instrumental accompaniment and a touch of added harmony by an unnamed artist. The second version, which is the final song on the album, features Jose Hernandez and Mariachi Del Sol De Mexico.
Here are the 12 songs on Glen Campbell’s new “See You There” album, which released on Aug. 13, 2013. “Hey Little One,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Gentle On My Mind,” “Postcard From Paris,” “Waiting on the Coming of My Lord,” “What I Wouldn’t Give,” “Galveston,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “There’s No Me… Without You,” “True Grit,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and “Waiting on the Comin’ of My Lord, featuring Jose Hernandez and Mariachi Del Sol De Mexico.
Even though Glen’s touring days have come to an end, and it seems like more than a possibility that “See You There” will be his last album, the entertainer is still very much involved with his fans. His website is still active and includes all the updated news and information fans would want about things Glen is doing now. The web site is www.glencampbell.com, and he can be followed on Twitter @GlenCampbell.
