= = = Mitzi Hoag = = = |
Margaret Myrtle "Mitzi" Hoag (September 25, 1932 – February 26, 2019) was an American actress. Over the course of her career, she appeared in more than 73 different TV shows and movies. Notable among these are recurring roles in "We'll Get By", "Bonanza", "Here Come the Brides", and "The Partridge Family". |
Hoag was raised in North Olmsted, Ohio, near Cleveland, where she was born. Her father, John C. Hoag, was a supervisor for the A&P store chain. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1949. A straight-A student and head majorette of the marching band, she appeared in numerous high school stage productions, already using the nickname "Mitzi". After high school, Hoag attended Shimer College, then located in Mount Carroll, Illinois, completing her degree in two years under the radically flexible University of Chicago curriculum of Robert Maynard Hutchins. She chose Shimer for its small classes and the opportunity for horseback riding. Because Shimer was then closely affiliated with the University of Chicago, she is sometimes reported as having graduated from there. |
When Hoag graduated from Shimer at age 19 in 1952, she was one of the first five Shimer students to receive the bachelor's degree. She was the only woman in the graduating class. She earned a bachelor of arts in general education, and became a certified teacher, but her experiences with drama at Shimer turned her towards an acting career. After leaving Shimer, Hoag studied drama at the graduate level at Case Western Reserve University for two years. |
In the mid-1950s, Hoag moved to New York, where she continued her study of acting with Herbert Berghof. She was cast in multiple off-Broadway shows, but these were all cancelled due to funding problems. Finally, she starred in the title role of the 1958 off-Broadway hit "Heloise", an adaptation by James Forsyth of the story of Heloise and Abelard. The play, which won considerable critical acclaim, was produced primarily by erstwhile actors and staffers of Case Western's Eldred Theatre. |
Hoag subsequently went to Hollywood, on her mother's advice. There she married Stephen Wolfson, who had a bit part in "Heloise", and later became a teacher. They had a daughter together, but subsequently divorced. |
In Hollywood, Hoag at first worked as a stage actress. She parlayed a successful stage performance as Annie Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker" into screen roles, starting with a role in the movie "Tammy and the Doctor", and continuing with numerous TV appearances. |
In the late 1960s, Hoag had a recurring role in "Here Come the Brides" in the late 1960s. In addition, from 1966 to 1972, she appeared frequently in the TV show "Bonanza" as Alice Brenner. In 1976, she appeared in the drama "Family" as Clara Briault. During this period, she also appeared in several movies, including "Play It as It Lays", "Pieces of Dreams", and "Devil's Angels". |
She also played Natalie Green's adoptive mother on "The Facts of Life", a role she played through all 9 seasons. |
Hoag's first and only starring role in a TV series came in 1975, when she appeared as the mother Liz Platt in the CBS sitcom "We'll Get By", starring opposite Paul Sorvino. A family sitcom, the show was created by Alan Alda, and modeled after his own domestic life. The show ran to twelve episodes, filmed in front of a live studio audience. Originally scheduled for September 1974, the show did not air until March 1975, in a time slot facing "Chico and the Man", one of NBC's most popular programs. It was not renewed. |

= = = Gabriele Eckart = = = |
Gabriele Eckart (born March 23, 1954 in Falkenstein/Vogtland), is a German author. |
Gabriele Eckart studied Philosophy from 1972 to 1976 at the Humboldt University of Berlin. She concluded her studies with the completion of her Staatsexamen. In 1979 she took part in a writing course at the German Literature Institute in Leipzig. After publishing two collections of her own poetry and a collection of travel memoirs, her next publication was supposed to have been a collection of interviews with people in Havelland. Small excerpts appeared in 1983 and 1984 in literature magazines in the German Democratic Republic, but the publication of the entire text, which contained numerous passages critical of relations in the German Democratic Republic, was prevented by government censorship. The book "So sehe ick die Sache" was therefore published openly only in West Germany. |
In 1987, Eckart used a visit to the Frankfurter Buchmesse to relocate to the Federal Republic of Germany; she remained, however, a citizen of the German Democratic Republic. In 1988 she emigrated to the United States, where she continued her studies. In 1993 she earned her Master of Arts at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and her PhD from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a Professor of German and Spanish at the Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. |
= = = Sissey Chao = = = |
Sissey Chao (; born 24 September 1963) is an aggressive, independent musician in Taiwan. |
Chao formed his first band, Double X, in 1985 when he was 17 years old. Considered a pioneer of Taiwanese punk music, the band released their first album, "Lying Idiots", through record label "Crystal Records" in 1985. In that same year they launched a tour around university campuses nationwide. They also supported R.E.M. during the latter’s Monster Tour in Taipei. |
Aside from being the frontman of his band, Chao also developed a solo career with a highly unique music style, and released his first solo album "Pull Myself Out" (1989, Crystal Records). With critical and explicit lyrics, the album proved to be ahead of its time, and was subsequently banned by Taiwan's Government Information Office. The album has since become an underground classic, and recently two of the songs were revived and included into the soundtrack of the critically acclaimed independent movie "A Place of One’s Own" (2009). Between 1989 and 1998, Chao released two more albums, although the number would have been greater if not for the record companies' market oriented approach toward sales. Disillusioned with record deals, he did not sign with another record label and ostensibly went into hiatus in 1998. This did not stop him from writing and making music however, and in 2009 fans were elated to see his return with a 4th studio album, "Tripping". Now more mature in his art direction, Chao drifts away from his previously rebellious style of composition and presents a whole new soundscape with lyrics as candid as ever. The 7 songs on the album are beautifully composed and arranged, taking the listener through an extraordinary journey of an artist in a floating world. |
