Charles Durning
1923 – 2012
The man who played the pope, the governor of Texas, Dustin Hoffman’s Tootsie suitor, four different Santa Clauses, and a bumbling Mel Brooks-inspired Nazi colonel has died. Charles Durning, known in the business as the King of Character Actors, died Christmas Eve at his home in Manhattan. He was 89.
Born in Highland Falls, NY into an Irish family of ten children, the first years of his life were a struggle. His father, wounded in WWI, could not work, and Charles lost five sisters to smallpox and scarlet fever. Durning eventually joined the Army and was among the first wave to land on Normandy, was wounded in the leg, and became the only member of his unit to survive.

Portrait of the Dying Edith Schiele, by Egon Schiele, 1918. Wikimedia Commons.
Let’s begin with Egon Schiele’s elbows: the Austrian artist’s swollen left elbow bent over his head in a gesture of support, the right drawn across his face, almost directly under his nose. Here, in his 1910 painting
Seated Male Nude (Self-Portrait), rendered in muddy browns and sickly yellows, Schiele’s limbs look withered, his joints too pronounced. His elbows frame his face, drawing attention to one arched brow and a glowing reddish eye (a feature made even more striking by the repetition of its color and shape in nipples, genitals, and navel). Elbows direct arms that appear severed; his left hand disappears behind unruly hair, and his right arm seems to disintegrate below the joint. He looks close to what the art critic Julius Meier-Graefe described six years prior as the New Vienna, works of art that showed figures who were “shockingly thin, weak of bone and precociously diseased.”

HAVING been born and raised in the hotel trade in a busy seaside town, it was no surprise that Pat McEniff loved company.
He always had time for people, and always had a good story or joke to lighten the mood.
Everyone seemed to know Pat and his generosity and easy-going nature won him friends wherever he went.
He was a member of one of Donegal s most famous families, his parents owning the Holyrood and Hamilton hotels in Bundoran.
Brother Brian would go on to be the first manager to bring the Sam Maguire Cup to the county, while another brother, Sean, was Ireland s longest-serving councillor.
