'''Alan Alda''' (born January 28, 1936) is an American [[actor]], [[television director|director]] and [[screenwriter]]. He is known for his role as [[Hawkeye Pierce]] in the [[TV series]] ''[[M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H]]''. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was viewed as the [[archetype|archetypal]] sympathetic male, though in recent years, he has appeared in roles that counter that image. |
|||
==Family and early life== |
|||
Alda was born '''Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo''' in [[The Bronx]], [[New York City]]. His father, [[Robert Alda]] (born Alphonso Giovanni Roberto D'Abruzzo), was an actor and singer, and his mother, [[Joan Brown (entertainer)|Joan Brown]], was a former [[Miss New York]]. Alda is of [[Italian-American|Italian]] and [[Irish-American|Irish descent]].<ref name="ref1">{{cite news|last=Berk|first=Philip|title=A question of roots|publisher=The Jerusalem Post|date=1998-12-11|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-19081701.html|accessdate=2007-12-10}}</ref> His adopted surname, "Alda," is a [[portmanteau]] of ''AL''phonso and ''D'A''bruzzo. When Alda was seven years old he contracted [[polio]]. To combat the disease, his parents administered a painful treatment regimen developed by [[Elizabeth Kenny|Sister Elizabeth Kenny]] that consisted of applying hot woolen blankets to his limbs and stretching his muscles.<ref>{{cite news | first=Tavis | last=Smiley | title=Alan Alda | url=http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200412/20041202_alda.html | publisher=PBS | date=2004-12-02 | accessdate=2007-05-02}}</ref> This allowed him to recover from most effects of the disease. Later, Alda attended [[Archbishop Stepinac High School]] in [[White Plains, New York]]. In 1956 he received his [[Bachelor of Science]] in English from Fordham College of [[Fordham University]] in the Bronx, where he was a student staff member of its [[FM broadcasting|FM radio]] station, [[WFUV]]. During his junior year, he studied in [[Paris]], acted in a play in [[Rome]] and performed with his father on television in [[Amsterdam]]. After graduation, he joined the [[United States Army|U.S. Army Reserve]] and served a six-month tour of duty as a [[gunnery officer]] in [[Korea]] following the [[Korean War]]. A year after graduation, he married [[Arlene Weiss]], with whom he has three daughters, Eve, Elizabeth, and Beatrice. He also has seven grandchildren, two of whom are aspiring actors. The Aldas have been longtime residents of [[Leonia, New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Kolbert| first=Elizabeth| url = http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01E1D81438F93BA25756C0A962958260|title = At Lunch With: Alan Alda; Hawkeye Turns Mean, Sensitively|work= [[The New York Times]]|date= May 18, 1994|accessdate = November 24, 2007| quote = Ever since 'M*A*S*H,' Alda has split his time between the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]], where he has houses in [[the Hamptons]] and Leonia, N.J., and the [[West Coast of the United StatesWest]]|, where he owns a house in the [[Bel Air, Los Angeles|Bel Air]] section of [[Los Angeles]].}}</ref> |
|||
==Career== |
|||
===Early acting=== |
|||
Alda began his career in the 1950s as a member of the [[Compass Players]] comedy revue. In 1966, he starred in the musical ''[[The Apple Tree]]'' on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]; he was nominated for the [[Tony Award]] as Best Actor in a Musical for that role. |
|||
Alda made his Hollywood acting debut as a supporting player in ''Gone are the Days!''—a film version of the highly successful Broadway play ''Purlie Victorious'', which co-starred veteran actors [[Ruby Dee]] and her husband [[Ossie Davis]]. Other film roles would follow, such as his portrayal of author, humorist, and actor [[George Plimpton]] in the film ''[[Paper Lion]]'' as well as ''[[The Extraordinary Seaman]]'' (1969) and the occult-murder-suspense thriller ''[[The Mephisto Waltz]]'', with actress [[Jacqueline Bisset]]. During this time, Alda frequently appeared as a panelist on the 1968 revival of ''[[What's My Line?]]''. He also appeared as a panelist on ''[[I've Got a Secret]]'' during its 1972 syndication revival. |
|||
===''M*A*S*H'' Series (1972–1983)=== |
|||
In early 1972 Alda auditioned for and was selected to play the role of "Hawkeye Pierce" in the TV adaptation of the 1970 film ''[[MASH (film)|MASH]]''. He was nominated for 21 [[Emmy Awards]], and won five. He took part in writing 19 episodes, including the finale, and directed 32. When he won his first Emmy Award for writing, he was so happy that he performed a [[cartwheel (gymnastics)|cartwheel]] before running up to the stage to accept the award. He was also the first person to win Emmy Awards for acting, writing and directing for the same series. [[H. Richard Hornberger|Richard Hooker]], who wrote the novel on which ''M*A*S*H'' was based, did not like Alan Alda's portrayal of Hawkeye Pierce (Hooker, a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]], had based Hawkeye on himself, whereas Alda took the character in a more left-wing direction). Alda also directed the show's 1983 2½ hour series finale "[[Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen]]" which remains [[list of most-watched television episodes|the single most-watched episode]] of any TV series. Alda is the only series regular to appear in all 251 episodes. |
|||
As more and more of the original series writers left the series, Alda gained more control and by the final seasons he had become project and creative consultant. Under his watch, ''M*A*S*H'' more openly addressed political issues. As a result, the 11 years of ''M*A*S*H'' are generally split into two eras: the [[Larry Gelbart]]/[[Gene Reynolds]] "comedy" years (1972–1977), and the Alan Alda "dramatic" years (1977–1983). |
|||
===After ''M*A*S*H''=== |
|||
Alda's prominence in the enormously successful ''M*A*S*H'' gave him a platform to speak out on political topics, and he has been a strong and vocal supporter of [[women's rights]] and the [[Feminist Movement in the United States (1963-1982)|feminist movement]]. He co-chaired, with former [[First Lady of the United States|First Lady]] [[Betty Ford]], the ERA Countdown campaign. In 1976, the ''[[Boston Globe]]'' dubbed him "the quintessential Honorary Woman: a feminist icon" for his activism on behalf of the [[Equal Rights Amendment]]. As a [[liberalism|liberal]] activist he has been a target for some [[political conservative|political]] and [[social conservative]]s. |
|||
Alan Alda has also played [[Nobel Prize]]-winning physicist [[Richard Feynman]] in the play ''[[QED (play)|QED]]'', which has only one other character. Although [[Peter Parnell]] wrote the play, Alda both produced and inspired it. Alda has also appeared frequently in the films of [[Woody Allen]], and he was a guest star five times on ''[[ER (TV series)|ER]]'', playing Dr. [[Kerry Weaver]]'s mentor, [[Minor doctors in ER#Gabriel Lawrence|Gabriel Lawrence]]. During the later episodes, it was revealed that Dr. Lawrence was suffering from the early stages of [[Alzheimer's disease]]. Alda also had a co-starring role as [[Robert Gallo|Dr. Robert Gallo]] in the 1993 TV movie ''[[And the Band Played On (film)|And the Band Played On]]''. |
|||
During ''M*A*S*H'''s run and continuing through the 1980s, Alda embarked on a successful career as a writer and director, with the ensemble [[dramedy]] [[The Four Seasons (film)|''The Four Seasons'']] being perhaps his most notable hit. ''[[Betsy's Wedding (film)|Betsy's Wedding]]'' is his last directing credit to date. After ''M*A*S*H'', Alda took on a series of roles that either parodied or directly contradicted his "nice guy" image. His role as a pompous celebrity television producer in ''[[Crimes and Misdemeanors]]'' was widely seen as a self-parody, although Alda denied this. |
|||
===Later roles=== |
|||
[[File:Alan Alda Emmys 1994.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Alan Alda at the 1994 Emmys.]] |
|||
In 1995, he starred as the President in [[Michael Moore]]'s [[political satire]]/[[comedy]] film ''[[Canadian Bacon (film)|Canadian Bacon]]''. Around this time, rumours circulated that Alda was considering running for the [[United States Senate]] in [[New Jersey]], but he denied this. In 1996, Alda played [[Henry Ford]] in ''Camping With Henry and Tom'', based on the book by Mark St. Germain. Beginning in 2004, Alda was a regular cast member on the [[NBC]] program ''[[The West Wing (TV series)|The West Wing]]'', portraying [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[United States Senate|U.S. Senator]] and presidential hopeful [[Arnold Vinick]], until the show's conclusion in May 2006. He made his premiere in the sixth season's eighth episode, "In The Room," and was added to the opening credits with the thirteenth episode, "King Corn." In August 2006, Alda won an [[Emmy]] for his portrayal of Arnold Vinick in the final season of ''The West Wing''. |
|||
In 2004, Alda portrayed conservative Maine Senator [[Owen Brewster]] in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s Academy-Award winning film ''[[The Aviator]]'', in which he co-starred with [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. |
|||
Throughout his career, Alda has received 31 Emmy Award nominations and two [[Tony Award]] nominations, and has won seven [[People's Choice Award]]s, six [[Golden Globe]] awards, and three [[Directors Guild of America]] awards. However, it was not until 2004, after a long distinguished acting career, that Alda received his first Academy Award nomination, for his role in ''The Aviator''. |
|||
Alda also wrote several of the stories and poems that appeared in [[Marlo Thomas]]'s ''[[Free to Be... You and Me]]'' television show. |
|||
Alda starred in the original Broadway production of the play 'Art', which opened on March 1, 1998, at the Royale Theatre. The play won the Tony Award for best original play. |
|||
In the spring of 2005, Alda starred as Shelly Levene in the [[Tony Award]]-winning [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] revival of [[David Mamet]]'s ''[[Glengarry Glen Ross]],'' for which he received a [[Tony Award]] nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play. |
|||
==Charitable work, other interests== |
|||
Alda has done extensive charity work. He helped narrate a 2005 [[St. Jude's Children's Hospital]] produced one-hour special TV show ''Fighting for Life''.<ref>{{Citation | last=Saint Jude Children's Hospital | first=Web Editor | title=Saint Jude TV - Fighting For Life | publisher=Saint Jude Web Site | year=2005 | date=December 1, 2005 | url=http://www.stjude.tv/ | accessdate=2007-04-11}}</ref> He and his wife, Arlene, are also close friends of [[Marlo Thomas]], who is very active in fund raising for the hospital her father founded. The special featured [[Ben Bowen]] as one of six patients being treated for childhood [[cancer]] at Saint Jude. |
|||
In 2005, Alda published his first round of memoirs, ''Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: and Other Things I've Learned''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Alda |first=Alan |year=2006 |title=Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: and Other Things I've Learned |location=New York |publisher=Random House |isbn=1-4000-6409-0}}</ref> Among other stories, he recalls his [[intestine]]s becoming strangulated while on location in [[Chile]] for his PBS show ''[[Scientific American Frontiers]]'', during which he mildly surprised a young doctor with his understanding of medical procedures, which he had learned from ''M*A*S*H''. He also talks about his mother's battle with [[schizophrenia]]. The title comes from an incident in his childhood, when Alda was distraught about his dog dying and his well-meaning father had the animal [[taxidermy|stuffed]]. Alda was horrified by the results, and took from this that sometimes we have to accept things as they are, rather than desperately and fruitlessly trying to change them. |
|||
In 2006, Alda contributed his voice to a part in the audio book of [[Max Brooks]]' ''[[World War Z]]''. In this book, he voiced Arthur Sinclair Jr., the director of the United States Government's fictional "Department of Strategic Resources (DeStRes)". |
|||
His second memoir, ''Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself'', weaves together advice from public speeches he has given with personal recollections about his life and beliefs. |
|||
Alda also has an avid interest in [[cosmology]], and participated in [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] coverage of the opening of the [[Large Hadron Collider]], at [[CERN]], [[Geneva]], in September 2008.<ref>{{cite web| publisher=BBC Web Site | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/bigbang/physics_rocks.shtml | title= Big Bang Day: Physics Rocks |date = 10 September 2008|accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref> |
|||
Alda has been an activist for [[feminism]] for many years.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/A/htmlA/aldaalan/aldaalan.htm|title = Alda, Alan: U.S. Actor|publisher = The Museum of Broadcast Communications}}</ref> |
|||
==Personal beliefs and other views== |
|||
In the above-mentioned memoir, ''Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself'', Alda candidly describes how briefly, at one time in his life he realized that he had begun thinking like an [[agnostic]] or [[atheist]], although he had been raised as a [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]]: |
|||
{{cquote|For a while in my teens, I was sure I had it. It was about getting to [[heaven]]. If heaven existed and lasted forever, then a mere lifetime spent scrupulously following orders was a small investment for an infinite payoff. One day, though, I realized I was no longer a believer, and realizing that, I couldn’t go back. Not that I lost the urge to pray. Occasionally, even after I stopped believing, I might send off a quick memo to the Master of the Universe, usually on a matter needing urgent attention, like Oh, God, don’t let us crash. These were automatic expulsions of words, brief SOS messages from the base of my brain. They were similar to the short prayers that were admired by the church in my Catholic boyhood, which they called “ejaculations.” I always liked the idea that you could shorten your time in purgatory with each ejaculation; what boy wouldn’t find that a comforting idea? But my effort to keep the plane in the air by talking to God didn’t mean I suddenly was overcome with belief, only that I was scared. Whether I’d wake up in heaven someday or not, whatever meaning I found would have to occur first on this end of eternity.}} |
|||
Speaking further on [[agnosticism]], Alda goes on to say:{{cquote|I still don't like the word agnostic. It's too fancy. I'm simply not a believer. But, as simple as this notion is, it confuses some people. Someone wrote a [[Wikipedia]] entry about me, identifying me as an atheist because I'd said in a book I wrote that I wasn't a believer. I guess in a world uncomfortable with uncertainty, an unbeliever must be an atheist, and possibly an infidel. This gets us back to that most pressing of human questions: why do people worry so much about other people's holding beliefs other than their own?}} Alda made these comments in an interview for the 2008 question section of the [[Edge Foundation, Inc.|Edge Foundation]] website.<ref>{{Citation | title=THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2008 - page 8 | publisher=Edge Foundation Web Site | year=2008 | url=http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_8.html#alda | accessdate=2008-01-02}}</ref> |
