Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | Sir Alan Arthur Bates, CBE (1934–2003) is an English actor who hails from Derbyshire, England. He had a prolific career that spanned six decades across stage and screen, with several award-winning portrayals and defining interpretations. His parents were musicians, who encouraged him to pursue music. However, he felt compelled to pursue acting instead, and acquired a scholarship to the RADA in London. Among his fellow aspiring thespians were Peter O'Toole and Albert Finney—each of whom, along with Bates, would be Oscar-nominated by the end of the 1960s. |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | Bates made his stage debut in Coventry, in a play called You and Your Wife. After joining the Royal Court Theatre's repertoire for several Off West End plays, he soon made his West End debut in the one of the quintessential "kitchen sink realism" dramas, John Osborne's Look Back in Anger—a role which he reprised on television. His portrayal of younger son, Edmund Tyrone, in Eugene O'Neill's classic Long Day's Journey into Night garnered him notice from the Clarence Derwent Awards. After some further TV work, he landed his (verified) film debut in The Entertainer (1960), starring Laurence Olivier, and co-starring, among others, Finney and the future Mrs. Olivier, Joan Plowright. It was the film debuts of the latter two as well. He succeeded this with breakthrough performances in Whistle Down the Wind (1961) and A Kind of Loving, the latter of which brought him his first BAFTA Film Award nomination. |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | What followed in the 1960s was a very bountiful decade of well-received performances in an eclectic array of films: reprising his role from the Harold Pinter play, The Caretaker (1963, a.k.a. The Guest); The Running Man (1963); Nothing but the Best (1964); and King of Hearts (1966). In between these were two of his most successful films thus far: Zorba the Greek (1964) and Georgy Girl (1966). The former obtained numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards out of seven nominations. The latter garnered four nominations from the Oscars; and six from the Golden Globes, including two for Bates: one for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical Film and the other for Most Promising Male Newcomer. The following year, he earned yet another Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Film for Far from the Madding Crowd (1967). |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | Come 1968, he would receive his highest set of recognition yet for The Fixer. He earned another Golden Globe (Best Drama Actor) nomination, coupled with his only Academy Award for Best Actor nomination, for his role as Yakov S. Bok (based on the real-life case of Menahem Mendel Beilis), a Russian Jew who was falsely accused of a blood libel murder. One year later, in Women in Love (1969), Bates and Oliver Reed achieved notoriety for an infamous homoerotic fireplace-lit wrestling scene, containing full-frontal nudity of both actors—which was groundbreaking for that taboo at that time. Bates earned his second BAFTA nom for that performance. |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | Within the next decade, the 1970s, Bates continued tackling a plethora of complex roles. One such role was in playwright Simon Gray's Butley (1974). Prior to its aforementioned film adaptation, the original 1971 play won Bates an Evening Standard Theatre Award in London, in 1971. Afterwards, it was swiftly rendered onto the Broadway stage—for which he won a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play, plus an equivalent Drama Desk Award and Drama League Award as well, in 1973. Other films of his from this era included The Go-Between (1971), A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (1972); In Celebration (1975), from David Storey, and another in which he originated on stage; Royal Flash (1975), The Shout (1978), An Unmarried Woman (1978), and The Rose (1979). He was also involved with Lord Laurence Olivier's production of Three Sisters at The Old Vic, including the subsequent 1970 film adaptation, re-released as part of the American Film Theatre series (alongside Butley and In Celebration). |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | He also began appearing on television more frequently, in anthology series such as Play for Today (episodes: "Plaintiffs and Defendants" and "Two Sundays", for which he jointly earned a BAFTA TV Award nomination) and Great Performances (the Laurence Olivier Presents rendition of Pinter's The Collection); and the miniseries, The Mayor of Casterbridge (1978). Bates has described the latter as his personal favourite role. Meanwhile, from their success from Butley, the Bates/Gray collaborative duo cultivated their working friendship and relationship into continued creative output. Gray began writing plays with Bates specifically in mind, starting next with Otherwise Engaged (1975). This was another successful venture for Bates, whose performance was once again praised and earned him his first Variety Club Award in the UK. |

Alan Bates, roles and awards | 75,675,659 | During the 1980s, his output tapered down. But his roles continued to bring him recognition. On television, he starred in a remake of Separate Tables (1983), as well as An Englishman Abroad (1983), Pack of Lies (1987), and The Dog It Was That Died (1989). "Abroad" would become his most decorated screen performance, including his only BAFTA (TV) win. His film work this decade included such films as Nijinsky (1980), The Return of the Soldier (1982), a cameo appearance in Britannia Hospital (1982), Duet for One (1986); and We Think the World of You (1988), in which he and Gary Oldman played lovers who were separated when Oldman was sent to prison, leaving Bates in charge of their German Shepherd. And in theatre, he reunited with Osborne, whose play, A Patriot for Me (1983) earned Bates his only Olivier Award nomination and a second Variety award win. |

Other efforts include the television movie Nicholas's Gift (1999), based on the true story of Nicholas Green; the TV biopic on Marcel Proust, 102 Boulevard Haussmann (1991) (via the weekly anthology series Screen Two); the miniseries Oliver's Travels (1995); and the films, Mister Frost (1990) and The Cherry Orchard (1999). |

His final few films included Evelyn (2002); The Sum of All Fears (2002); The Mothman Prophecies (2002); and his final theatrical film, The Statement (2003), which was critically lambasted.

|
Sherman Expedition | 75,675,696 | Conflict | The conservative party, defeated in Guatemala in 1871, organized a counter-revolution in 1873 with an expedition led by General Enrique Palacios aboard the General Sherman steamship. Their goal was to change the governments of Honduras and Guatemala by attempting to seize the port of Omoa. However, the small garrison at the castle in Omoa skillfully defeated them through a clever maneuver on August 7, 1873, forcing the expedition to hastily re-embark. |
Sherman Expedition | 75,675,696 | Conflict | Another part of the expedition, having entered the country through Puerto Cortés to San Pedro Sula, confronted General Gregorio Solares and his 600 Guatemalan troops entrenched north of the Chamelecón River, about two leagues from the city. On August 9 of the same year, the invading expedition, comprising 450 men, suffered a defeat with significant casualties, including General Casto Alvarado. This defeat rendered them incapable of further actions. |
