Arrivals & Departures . 17 January 1931 – 09 September 2024 . James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones was an American actor known for his film roles and for his work in theater. Jones has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors for his performances on stage and screen. He has also been called "one of the greatest actors in American history". He was one of the few performers to achieve the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony). Jones was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1985, and honoured with the National Medal of Arts in 1992, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2009, and the Honorary Academy Award in 2011.

Born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, in 1931, he had a stutter since childhood. Jones said that poetry and acting helped him overcome the challenges of his disability. A pre-med major in college, he served in the United States Army during the Korean War before pursuing a career in acting. His deep voice was praised as a "stirring basso profondo that has lent gravel and gravitas" to his projects. Jones made his Broadway debut in 1957 in Sunrise at Campobello (1957). He gained prominence for acting in numerous productions with Shakespeare in the Park including Othello, Hamlet, Coriolanus, and King Lear. Jones worked steadily in theater, winning the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role as a boxer in The Great White Hope (1968), which he reprised in the 1970 film adaptation, earning him Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.

Jones won his second Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role as a working class father in August Wilson's Fences (1987). He was a Tony award nominee for his roles as the husband in Ernest Thompson's On Golden Pond (2005) about an ageing couple, and as a former president in the Gore Vidal play The Best Man (2012). His other Broadway performances included Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (2008), Driving Miss Daisy (2010–2011), You Can't Take It with You (2014), and The Gin Game (2015–2016). He received a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2017.

Jones made his film debut in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (1964). He received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Claudine (1974). Jones gained international fame for his voice role as Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, beginning with the original 1977 film. Jones' other notable films include The Man (1972), Conan the Barbarian (1982), Matewan (1987), Coming to America (1988), Field of Dreams (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Sneakers (1992), The Sandlot (1993), The Lion King (1994), and Cry, the Beloved Country (1995). On television, Jones received eight Primetime Emmy Awards nominations winning twice for his roles in thriller film Heat Wave (1990) and the crime series Gabriel's Fire (1991). He also acted in Roots (1977), Jesus of Nazareth (1977), Picket Fences (1994), Homicide: Life on the Street (1997), and Everwood (2004).

Un día como hoy de 1937, hace 86 años nace en Nueva York, JANE FONDA (Jane Seymour Fonda), actriz estadounidense de larga y polifacética trayectoria. Ha trabajado también como escritora, editora de libros y realizando videos de aeróbic, y como activista política y bloguera. Ganadora de dos premios Oscar a la mejor actriz, Fonda ya es catalogada como una leyenda y mito del séptimo arte. Hija del actor Henry Fonda, saltó a la fama en la década de 1960 al protagonizar películas de éxito comercial como "Barbarella" y "Cat Ballou", y a lo largo de su carrera ha enlazado muchas reconocidas por la crítica, como "Klute", "Julia", "El regreso", "Danzad, danzad, malditos", "El síndrome de China", "La jauría humana", "On Golden Pond", "Nine to Five" y "Gringo viejo". Por sus logros actorales ha ganado dos premios Óscar (de siete nominaciones), cuatro Globos de Oro, dos premios BAFTA y un premio Emmy. En 1991 anunció su retiro del cine, aunque regresó a la interpretación catorce años más tarde con la comedia "La madre del novio" ("Monster in Law", 2005) y posteriormente ha participado en otros filmes de éxito como "The Butler" ("El mayordomo") y "Youth" ("La juventud"). También ha producido y publicado varios vídeos de ejercicios físicos entre los años 1982 y 1985. Fue uno de los grandes mitos eróticos de los años 1960 y 1970. Fonda ha sido partidaria de varias causas civiles y políticas. Se ha manifestado en contra de la guerra de Vietnam, así como de la guerra de Irak. Se ha descrito a sí misma como una persona liberal y feminista. En el 2005 publica su autobiografía, la cual se convierte en un éxito de ventas y crítica.

#JaneFonda💗💖 Sex symbol de los años 60, activista incombustible a favor de la paz, feminista de pura raza, reina del aerobic en los 80, ganadora de dos Oscar... A lo largo de su apasionada vida y su extensa carrera, la actriz, que en más de una ocasión se ha definido como una persona liberal, ha mostrado infinidad de rostros que reflejan la imagen de una mujer polifacética, osada y talentosa.Conservando ese sex appeal y elegancia que la caracteriza. Hija del actor Henry Fonda, saltó a la fama en la década de 1960 al protagonizar películas de éxito comercial como Barbarella y Cat Ballou y a lo largo de su carrera ha enlazado muchas reconocidas por la crítica, como Klute, Julia, El regreso, Danzad, danzad, malditos, El síndrome de China, La jauría humana, On Golden Pond, Nine to Five y Gringo viejo. Por sus logros como actriz ha ganado dos premios Óscar (de siete nominaciones), cuatro Globos de Oro, dos premios BAFTA y un premio Emmy. En 1991 anunció su retiro del cine, aunque regresó a la interpretación catorce años más tarde con la comedia La madre del novio (Monster in Law, 2005) y posteriormente ha participado en otras películas de éxito como The Butler (El mayordomo) y Youth (La juventud). También ha producido y publicado varios vídeos de ejercicios físicos entre los años 1982 y 1985.En 1991, después de trabajar durante más de tres décadas como actriz, Fonda anuncia su retiro de la industria cinematográfica. Sin embargo, regresa a la actuación en 2005 con la película cómica Monster in Law (La madre del novio), junto a Jennifer Lopez; tuvo un gran éxito comercial, aunque no recibió buenas críticas. En 2007 apareció en la película del cineasta Garry Marshall, Georgia Rule. Allí comparte escena con Felicity Huffman y Lindsay Lohan.

Se rumoreó que había comprado los derechos para un remake de Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, el gran éxito de Pedro Almodóvar, que podría contar con Julia Roberts y otras estrellas, pero no trascendió nada este proyecto. En 2009 se dijo que se grabaría una adaptación en formato teleserie, sin Jane Fonda, y finalmente el argumento fue adaptado al teatro.

En los últimos años Jane Fonda ha incrementado su presencia en el cine. Encarnó a Nancy Reagan en The Butler (El mayordomo), participó en la comedia This Is Where I Leave You (Ahí os quedáis) y también ha tenido un papel en la multipremiada Youth (La juventud) de Paolo Sorrentino, codeándose con Michael Caine y Harvey Keitel. Jane Fonda ha estado casada tres veces. Primero con el director francés Roger Vadim, desde 1965 hasta 1973, y con el que tuvo una hija llamada Vanessa. Después se casó con Tom Hayden (1973 - 1990), quien fue un activista social y político, muy conocido por su participación en los movimientos antiguerra y en los de los derechos civiles de los años 1960. Tras su separación, se casó con el magnate de los medios Ted Turner (1991-2001). En 2005, Fonda puso a la venta su autobiografía, My Life So Far.El libro describe su vida como una serie de tres actos, cada uno de 30 años de duración, y declara que su tercer acto ha sido para ella el más significante, en gran parte debido a su devoción a Cristo, y esto determinará las cosas por lo que ella será recordada. Fonda también dice que su autobiografía muestra que «ella es algo más que lo que América le conoce». El 2 de septiembre de 2022, a través de un comunicado, informo que le han diagnosticado con un Linfoma no Hodgking, el cual se está haciendo tratar con quimioterapia.
