Albert "Al" Hirschfeld - A
Jewish American Caricaturist - Best known for his simple
black and white satirical portraits of celebrities and
Broadway stars. He did commissions for New
York Herald Tribune and
The New York Times
in 1924. Hirschfeld's art style is unique, and he is
considered to be one of the most important figures in
contemporary caricature, having influenced countless
cartoonists. Hirschfeld's caricatures are almost always
drawings of pure line with simple black ink on white paper
with little to no shading or crosshatching. His drawings
always manage to capture a likeness using the minimum number
of lines. Though his caricatures often exaggerate and
distort the faces of his subjects he is often described as
being a fundamentally "nicer" caricaturist than many of his
contemporaries, and being drawn by Hirschfeld was considered
an honor more than an insult. Born in St-Louis, Missouri on
this date. |

actress. Vergara was discovered by a
photographer while walking a Colombian
beach. Soon, she was presented with attractive offers in
modeling and
TV work, and followed that course. Having been raised
rather
conservatively and
devoutly
religious, this was a bit overwhelming at first. In an
article in the January 2002
Maxim magazine, Vergara was described as
"apprehensive about doing her first
TV commercial—until her
Catholic
schoolteachers gave her permission to take the
job". She made her first public appearance at the age of
17 in a
Pepsi commercial that was widely
telecast all over
Latin America.Vergara moved to
Bogotá at the age of 20, where she worked as a model on
the
runway and on TV. From 1995 to 1999, she was co-host
with
Fernando Fiore on Fuera de Serie ("Out of the
Ordinary" or "Over-the-Top"), a series which sent her to
exotic places all over the world (this is similar to the
U.S.
Wild On! travel series). It was telecast on the
international
Univision Spanish-language
network, and it made her a
star in the
Latin American market and gave her some USA TV exposure.
She also co-hosted the Univision show A que no te atreves
("I Dare You"). She recently appeared as a
guest star on the
HBO series
Entourage.Besides runway and catalog modeling work,
Vergara also did independent projects. She was photographed
for
posters
swimsuit
calendars in 1998, 2000, and 2002. These were top
sellers in Latin America, and also penetrated the North
American market. She did
South American television ads, and also posed in
swimsuits for posters for
beer advertising, especially for
Miller Lite beer. Vergara is 1.70 m
(5 ft
7 in)
tall, and she has naturally
blonde/sunbleached
hair (for
films and TV, she is frequently required to
dye it brunette to make her look more "Latina").
Vergara was long under an exclusive TV
contract with
Univision, and after it expired, she accepted a
role with
ABC in the United States. With ABC, she appeared on the
sitcoms
Hot Properties and
The Knights of Prosperity. Vergara currently plays
Alicia Oviedo in the Colombian version of
Desperate Housewives,
Amas de Casa Desesperadas. She also currently
appears on the ABC drama
Dirty Sexy Money as Jeremy Darling's new love interest.
She also made a guest appearance in the Mexican soap opera
