| Derek Jacobi - Breaking the code *Mathematics* |
 |
Based on Andrew Hodges' book and Hugh
Whitemore's play, this movie analizes the
figure of the English mathematician Alan
Turing, one of the inventors of the digital
computer and of the key figures in the
breaking of the Enigma code, used by the
Germans to send secret orders to their
U-boats in World War II.

We all know Sir Derek Jacobi as one of the
most wonderful actors of English theatre, tv
and cinema. Some of us find him(that "some"
includes me of course... ;p) not only a
gifted interpreter, but an attractive
man...well, here's something I hope will
prove both theories... :))

Lotte Johanna Alexandra Jacobi (August 17,
1896 -- May 6, 1990) was a German
photographer, who immigrated to the United
States to escape Nazi Germany.
Born in Thorn (Toruń) in Prussia (now in
Poland), she spent parts of her life in
Berlin (1925-1935), New York City
(1935-1955), and New Hampshire (1955-1990).
After completing her formal studies (1925 --
1927), Jacobi entered the family photography
business in 1927. During this same period
(1926-27) she began her professional work as
a photographer, and she also produced four
films, the most important being Portrait of
the Artist, a study of Josef Scharl. From
October of 1932 to January of 1933, Lotte
traveled to the Soviet Union, in particular
to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, taking
photographs of what she saw. She returned to
Berlin in February 1933, one month after
Hitler came to power. As persecution against
Jews increased, Lotte left Germany with her
son, arriving in September 1935 in New York
City, where she opened a studio in Manhattan.
In 1940, Lotte married Erich Reiss, a
distinguished German publisher and writer, a
marriage that lasted until his death in 1951.
During this time, she continued portrait
photography at her studio, while also
embarking upon an experimental type of
photographic work that artist Leo Katz later
named photogenics. They refer to the abstract
black-and-white images that she produced by
moving torches and candles over
light-sensitive paper. In 1955, Lotte left
New York with her son and daughter-in-law and
moved to Deering, New Hampshire, a move that
changed her life. There she opened a new
studio.
Lotte Jacobi is best known for her
photographic portraits, which act as a
"chronicle of an era."
She photographed such people as Albert
Einstein, Thomas Mann, Robert Frost, Marc
Chagall, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alfred Stieglitz,
J.D. Salinger, Paul Robeson, May Sarton,
Pauline Koner, Bernice Abbott ,Edward
Steichen, W. H. Auden, Martin Buber, W.E.B.
Du Bois, Albert Einstein, Robert Frost,
Käthe Kollwitz, Kurt Weill, Lotte Lenya,
Peter Lorre, Thomas Mann, Klaus and Erika
Mann, Max Planck, Pablo Casals, Claire
Baucroff, Stanley Hayter, Leo Katz, Niura
Norskaya, Franz Lederer, Max Reinhardt,
Moholy-Nagy, Paul Caponigro, Leni
Riefenstahl, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Chaim
Weizmann, to name but a few
Jacobi traveled around from assignment to
assignment with her equipment bringing the
studio to her models. She liked to wait until
the models were most at ease before taking a
photograph.

| Call my bluff - Derek Jacobi |
 |
That's an extract from an episode of the tv
game show "Call my bluff" broadcasted from
1996 to 2005 in UK by the BBC. The original
program started in 1965 and ended in
1988.(Check this link for more information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_My_Bluff )
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find when
exactly this episode was aired, but in the
late 90s I guess.
