I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- SIPGBR_141014_01.JPG: Gregory Peck, 1916-2003
One of the great stars of postwar Hollywood, Gregory Peck is best known for his Oscar-winning role as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). He began his acting career on Broadway in The Morning Star (1942) but soon turned to Hollywood and became a major star in such films as Days of Glory, The Keys of the Kingdom, Spellbound, The Yearling, Duel in the Sun, Gentlemen's Agreement, and The Gunfighter. Peck's tall, rugged, and heroic screen presence was in high demand, and after 1950 he starred in such classics as Roman Holiday, Captain Horatio Hornblower, Moby Dick, The Guns of Navarone, and Cape Fear. His many honors included the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, the AFI Life Achievement Award, and the National Medal of Arts.
Everett Raymond Kinstler, 1991
- SIPGBR_141014_09.JPG: Joseph Papp, 1921-1991
When Joe Papp originated the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1956, his intent was to cultivate an audience broader than the middle class mainstream who flooded Broadway theaters in the mid-1950s-to reach those "who might never have seen a play before and who were unable or unwilling to pay." By the 1960s, Papp had become a catalyst for alternative theater, most notably the 1967 "American tribal love-rock musical" Hair. The Shakespeare Festival produced the phenomenally successful musical A Chorus Line at Papp's Public Theater in 1975, but his repertory also included jazz workshops, chamber music, puppet shows, and a wide range of classic and contemporary theater. His commitment to multicultural entertainment helped to change the face of American theater from the 1960s onward.
Alice Neel, 1964
- SIPGBR_141014_15.JPG: Leontyne Price, born 1927
Soprano Leontyne Price trained at Juilliard and first scored a major success in 1952, appearing as Bess in a touring production of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. In 1955 she appeared in an NBC telecast of Tosca and was subsequently in high demand by opera houses in London, Vienna, and Milan. It was not until 1961 that she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera-as Leonora in Il Trovatore-and she quickly became a Met favorite until her farewell performance there in 1985. Especially associated with the work of Verdi and Samuel Barber, Price sang the title role in Cleopatra-which Barber created for her-at the opening of the Met's new home at Lincoln Center. Price was also a tireless performer on the recital circuit and won fifteen Grammys for her recordings. She received a Kennedy Center Honors award in 1980.
Bradley Phillips, 1963
- SIPGBR_141014_31.JPG: Grace Kelly, 1929-1982
The cool blonde star of Rear Window and High Society, Grace Kelly began acting on Broadway and in early television before pursuing a movie career in the early 1950s. She won a Best Actress Oscar in 1954 for The Country Girl, co-starring with Bing Crosby. In 1956 she retired from movies to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in one of the most thoroughly covered news events of the 1950s. Princess Grace lived in Monaco until her death in an automobile accident-said to be at the spot on the Riviera where the picnic scene from the movie To Catch a Thief was filmed in 1954.
Kees Verkade, 1983
