neg: Kemble family Kemble is the name of a family of English actors , who reigned over the British stage for decades . The most famous were Sarah Siddons ( 1755-1831 ) and her brother John Philip Kemble ( 1757-1823 ) , the two eldest of the twelve children of Roger Kemble ( 1721-1802 ) , a strolling player and manager of the Warwickshire Company of Comedians , who in 1753 married an actress , Sarah Ward . Roger Kemble was born in Hereford , and was a grand-nephew of Father John Kemble , a recusant Catholic priest , who was hanged in that city in 1679 . Three younger children of Roger , Stephen Kemble ( 1758-1822 ) , Charles Kemble ( 1775-1854 ) , and Elizabeth Whitlock ( 1761-1836 ) , were also actors , while Ann Hatton was a novelist .   In George Henry Harlow 's famous painting The Court for the Trial of Queen Katharine he depicted many of the Kemble family members . The subject of the painting comes from Henry VIII , Act II , Scene iv , and the refutation of Cardinal Wolsey , charged with obtaining Henry 's divorce from his Queen , Katherine . The production was mounted by John Philip Kemble when he took over the management of Covent Garden in 1806 . Harlow was a personal friend of the Kemble family and this picture is homage to his friends . John Philip Kemble clothed in scarlet plays Wolsey ; his brother Charles Kemble ( in black ) has the part of Thomas Cromwell and sits behind the table . Immediately behind and above him is Stephen Kemble as Henry . The sister , Sarah Siddons , is Katherine .   The tradition was continued by two daughters of Charles Kemble and Maria Theresa Kemble : actress and Shakespearean reader Fanny Kemble ( 1800-1893 ) and Adelaide Kemble ( 1815-1879 ) , an opera singer . Both Sarah Siddon 's son Henry Kemble and Stephen Kemble 's son , also named Henry Kemble , became actors .   Among later members of the Kemble family , mention may also be made of Charles Kemble 's grandson , Henry Kemble ( 1848-1907 ) , a sterling and popular London actor . At least two 20th Century members were Violet Kemble-Cooper and Lillian Kemble-Cooper . Descending from Kemble Croft 's line is Sebastian Croft ( b. 2001 ) , a popular 21st Century actor .

neg: Michael A. Noonan Michael Anthony Noonan is a New Zealand writer , most often associated with his writing for television drama series in his native land . He is usually credited under either his full name or as Michael A. Noonan , so as to be distinguished from New Zealand-born Australian writer Michael Noonan .   Noonan grew up in the southern South Island , in Dunedin and Oamaru . After leaving school he began writing , notably drama such as The Rattle , whilst supplementing his income through work in radio and stage acting and as a regional television newsreader . He moved to Auckland in 1965 , where he began writing for television . In 1969 , he became the first script editor for the newly created television drama department of the NZBC . In this capacity he worked alongside and helped mentor a group of new writing talent including the likes of Roger Hall and Fiona Kidman . He left his editing position in the early 1970s , and in the proceeding years scripted several series , notable among them early children 's television series The Games Affair .   In the following years , Noonan formed a close working relationship with director Tony Isaac . In 1975 their collaboration won a Feltex Award for The Longest Winter , a docu-drama about the Great Depression . The same year saw the debut of Close to Home , for which Noonan and Isaac became a principal writer and director . This was to prove to be New Zealand 's most successful soap opera until the launch of Shortland Street 17 years later . In 1977 , Noonan wrote the docu-drama The Governor , based on the life of Sir George Grey . This series , also directed by Isaac , too was to become a New Zealand television landmark .   In 1979 , Noonan became the first scriptwriter to be awarded a Robert Burns Fellowship by the University of Otago . During this time he wrote two series which were cancelled before going into production , notably one based on Bill Pearson 's novel Coal Flat . The cancellation was , in part , due to financial concerns , especially given that The Governor had proved controversial over its high production costs . Television New Zealand was approached again over the Coal Flat project in 2002 , but funding was declined . Noonan later successfully adapted Roger Hall 's stage play Glide Time into a long-running television comedy series , Gliding On .

He was cast as the sly space trader in an episode of Lost in Space .

Thatcher died of cancer on 4 March 1981 , in Thousand Oaks , California , USA .

neg: Media in Manchester Media in Manchester has been an integral part of Manchester 's culture and economy for many generations and has been described as the only other British city to rival to London in terms of television broadcasting . Today , Manchester is second largest centre of the creative and digital industries in Europe .   Most notable television exports include the longest running serial soap drama in the world in Coronation Street and the longest running documentary series in 7 Up ! , A wide array of award-winning British television programmes have originated from , and often been set in Manchester , such as Coronation Street , A Question of Sport , Dragon 's Den , The Royle Family , University Challenge , Mastermind , Songs of Praise , Top of the Pops , It 's a Knockout , World in Action , Seven Up ! , Jewel in the Crown , Brideshead Revisited , Stars in Their Eyes , The Krypton Factor , Red Dwarf , Life on Mars , Cold Feet , Cracker and The Street . In the BFI TV list of greatest British television programmes decided by industry professionals in 2000 , nine television programmes which were devised and produced in Manchester made the top 50 .   Manchester was given the nickname ` Granadaland ' , as many of the city 's successful programmes were produced by Granada Television and its influential chairman Sidney Bernstein actively encouraged this nickname to promote Manchester and the North West . The company was based at Granada Studios in Manchester and was considered one of the best commercial television companies in the world by the Financial Times and The Independent . Granada had its own entertainment complex showcasing its television exports to the public . Eventually Granada took over eleven other franchisees through a series of hostile bids to form ITV in 2004 , and consequently a more unified ITV corporate brand appeared .   The new MediaCityUK in Salford forms part of the major decentralisation of the BBC . The corporation opted to move to MediaCityUK in 2004 as a replacement for its ageing Mancunian studios at New Broadcasting House and Granada Studios . At the same time , BBC Television Centre was also coming to the end of its lifespan , so the BBC decided to split departments between existing facilities in London and Greater Manchester . The BBC currently has a major broadcast division business operating here under the BBC North Group it comprises the departments BBC Breakfast , BBC Sport , BBC Children 's , BBC Radio 5 Live , BBC Learning , BBC Research & Development and BBC Philharmonic presently broadcasting and producing . The Director-General of the BBC has indicated that a major BBC Channel such as BBC One or BBC Two would move by 2015 if the current operation is a success . ITV also has a major division of its business based here ITV Studios which is responsible for all UK and international production .   The Guardian newspaper was founded in Manchester as the Manchester Guardian and the city 's regional newspaper , the Manchester Evening News is the second most popular regional newspaper in the UK after the Evening Standard .

neg: 25th Academy Awards The 25th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 19 , 1953 . It took place at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood , California , and the NBC International Theatre in New York City .   It was the first Academy Awards ceremony to be televised , and the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York City simultaneously . It was also the only year that the New York ceremonies were to be held in the NBC International Theatre on Columbus Circle , which was shortly thereafter demolished and replaced by the New York Coliseum convention center .   A major upset occurred in the category of Best Picture . The heavily favored High Noon lost to Cecil B. DeMille 's The Greatest Show on Earth , eventually considered among the worst films to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture . The American film magazine Premiere placed the movie on its list of the 10 worst Oscar winners and the British film magazine Empire rated it # 3 on their list of the 10 worst Oscar winners . It has the lowest spot on Rotten Tomatoes ' list of the 81 films to win Best Picture . Of all the films nominated for the Oscar this year , only High Noon and Singin ' in the Rain would show up 46 years later on the American Film Institute list of the greatest American films of the 20th Century . For a film that only received two nominations , Singin ' in the Rain went on to be named as the greatest American musical film of all time and in the 2007 American Film Institute updated list as the fifth greatest American film of all time , while High Noon was ranked twenty-seventh on the same 2007 list , as well .   The Bad and the Beautiful won five awards , the most wins ever for a film not nominated for Best Picture . It was also the second Academy Awards in which a film not nominated for Best Picture received the most awards of the evening , excluding years where there were ties for the most wins . The only other film to do this was The Thief of Bagdad at the 13th Academy Awards ; as of the 87th Academy Awards , it has not happened since .   Until Spotlight won only Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the 88th Academy Awards , this was the last year in which the Best Picture winner won just two Oscars . It was also the second of three years to date in which two films not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the winner ( The Bad and the Beautiful and Hans Christian Andersen , both with six ) . This occurred again at the 79th Academy Awards .   Shirley Booth also became the last person to win an Oscar in a Leading Role to be born in the 19th century . She also holds the distinction of being the first woman in her 50s to win the award , at the age of 54 ( the second woman in her 50s to win , Julianne Moore , was 54 when awarded at the 87th Academy Awards ) .   John Ford 's fourth win for Best Director set a record for the most wins in this category that remains unmatched to this day .   For the first time since the introduction of Supporting Actor and Actress awards in 1936 , Best Picture , Best Director , and all four acting Oscars went to six different films . This has happened only three times since , at the 29th Academy Awards for 1956 , the 78th for 2005 , and the 85th for 2012 .

neg: American burlesque American burlesque is a genre of variety show . Derived from elements of Victorian burlesque , music hall and minstrel shows , burlesque shows in America became popular in the 1860s and evolved to feature ribald comedy ( lewd jokes ) and female striptease . By the early 20th century , burlesque in America was presented as a populist blend of satire , performance art , music hall , and adult entertainment , featuring striptease and broad comedy acts .   The entertainment was presented often in cabarets and clubs , as well as music halls and theatres . Performers , usually female , often created elaborate tableaux with lush , colorful costumes , mood-appropriate music , and dramatic lighting ; novelty acts , such as fire breathing or contortionists , might be added to enhance the impact of their performance . The genre traditionally encompassed a variety of acts : in addition to the striptease artistes , there was some combination of chanson singers , comedians , mime artists , and dancing girls , all delivered in a satiric style with a saucy edge . The striptease element of burlesque became subject to extensive local legislation , leading to a theatrical form that titillated without falling afoul of censors .   Burlesque gradually lost popularity beginning in the 1940s . A number of producers sought to capitalize on nostalgia for the entertainment by attempting to recreate the spirit of burlesque in Hollywood films from the 1930s to the 1960s . There has been a resurgence of interest in this format since the 1990s , and it inspired a 2010 musical film , Burlesque , starring Christina Aguilera and Cher .
