Those three guys were my male role models.” “I had my daddy, I had Gregory Peck and I had Brock Peters. “Brock and I did a symphony program together … in Kansas where they played some pieces of music, then between the music we would tell little behind-the-scenes stories … things that happened off-camera,” Badham said. She was also mentored by Brock Peters, who played Tom Robinson in the film. He and Bernice picked up where Mother and Daddy left off.” “ would take the time to pick up the phone and call: ‘How are you doing, kiddo?’ … Whenever I was in Los Angeles, I’d go to their house. “My mother died three weeks after I graduated high school and Daddy died two years after I got married,” Badham said. Indeed, Peck became a real-life father figure to Badham, who lost her parents young. He was so kind, generous, intelligent, well-read and just a very good role model for me because I lost my parents very early in my life.” We became very close and stayed friends right up until he passed. “I would go home with the Pecks on the weekend. “What you saw on screen is what we got at home,” Badham said. 1 Movie Hero of All Time when it compiled its list in 2003. Of course, the role was originally played by Gregory Peck, who turned Atticus into the American Film Institute’s No. I couldn’t be more pleased with the whole entire cast. … Of course, Melanie Moore playing Scout, she is just brilliant. “He would have been my first choice for an Atticus because I just feel like he embodies all of that. “He is so brilliant with it,” Badham said.

Oddly, it appears that Gaget was buried in an unmarked pauper’s grave at York Cemetery alongside 11 others. Three Rowntree managers represented the company at his funeral, and Joseph Rowntree sent a wreath. Gaget had to retire on medical grounds in 1895, and died in 1906 at his daughter’s home in Dewsbury Terrace, York. The gum pastilles had brought the company through a rocky time, which included the death in 1883 of Henry Isaac from peritonitis. Average yearly profits were nearly four and half times higher than in the previous ten years. Sales leaped from £44,000 at the beginning of the decade to £99,000 at the end. The number of workers about doubled between 18. Rowntree’s Crystallised Gum Pastilles were an instant success, and the impact on the business was enormous, leading to the purchase of an old flour mill on North Street, adjoining Tanner’s Moat. In 1881, the Frenchman devised a satisfactory recipe and the company began manufacturing fruit pastilles, that were sold loose and advertised in 4lb wooden boxes for a penny an ounce. Initially, Joseph Rowntree’s insistence upon unrivalled quality meant that he at first refused Gaget’s earliest samples, once telling him that his latest batch were fit only to be thrown in the Ouse. In 1879, Gaget, who had worked for a French sweet-maker in its London office, was employed to develop a new line of products. Joseph and Henry Isaac Rowntree’s conservative attitude to product development meant they were losing out to Cadbury’s in the 1870s.

In the very beginning, I was a troubled latchkey kid, who desperately needed a creative outlet. In a world and industry where commerce overtakes creativity, my abstract work aims to be visually engaging as my main focus is driven towards constructing unusual artistic apparel which is my way of producing significant commentary on Chicano lives and struggle. Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community? Our narratives are valuable too, and this is the significance and integrity I wish to provide through destacarse. The people you never see featured in popular magazines, or media. The struggling family and community I was born into, aided in my drive for innovation and lust for “honest art” which to me, is realistic, relatable commentary on underprivileged lives. Today I have been called by many people an artist, entrepreneur, storyteller, and designer. I was the first to graduate with a college degree and discipline myself in my artistic projects. My background also is from a simple working class community. My apparel investigates new forms as I combine motifs of Latino lifestyle concepts and other honest expressions I feel through the communities and people of East Los Angeles. I produce hand crafted apparel with themes of immigration, labor, cholo silhouettes, and other personal mementos. Being Born and raised in East Los Angeles, I have come to realize how my Chicano identity and Latino background has become the originating genes to my body of work that is my small developing label, destacarse. The community, It places me under its tongue, and I’m absorbed into its gums. Our sweat drips and pools around our ankles. Our skin sizzles in the summer as we hustle under the sun. Our blood, it gets misplaced with that sticky tar. The concrete with graffiti, so pure, however its expression is often misunderstood. Where we spill our teeth over lovers during the heat of the summer where we love. Where frightening gunshots get mistaken for fluorescent firecrackers. Where artisan hand painted eyebrows became a fad and rosaries dangle from our throats. East Los Angeles is where our unnamed neighbors sit next to us on the public buses and crowded mercados. Growing up in East LA, we get our nutrients from the corners. Hi Rene, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today? We had the good fortune of connecting with Rene Camarillo and we’ve shared our conversation below. |
