Connection
Mark Herron is a Actor American born on 8 july 1928 at Baxter (USA)
Mark Herron (8 July 1928 – 13 January 1996) was an American actor best known as the fourth husband of singer and actress Judy Garland. They were married on 14 November 1965 in Las Vegas, but they separated after 5 months of marriage apparently due to his homosexuality. Seventeen months later, Garland was granted a divorce after testifying that Herron had beaten her. He said he had "only hit her in self defense." He appeared in films such as Federico Fellini's 8½ and Eye of the Cat.
Fans of the cable TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 may recall his performance in the film Girl in Gold Boots, in which he portrayed the greasy nightclub owner Leo McCabe.
Gerald Clarke, in his biography of Garland, Get Happy (2000) and in an interview about the book, reported that Herron had an affair with Tallulah Bankhead prior to meeting Garland.
Garland put Herron to work as producer of her two London Palladium concerts with her daughter Liza Minnelli in 1964 as well as some personal appearances in Canada in 1965.
Aside from providing biographer Gerold Frank information for his biography titled Judy (1975), Herron remained silent on the topic of Garland. He continued acting, often appearing in summer stock productions.
Herron had a long-lasting relationship with fellow actor Henry Brandon, which was only briefly interrupted by his marriage to Garland. The two men remained together until Brandon's death in 1990.
Herron died of cancer in 1996, aged 67.
Le 12 juin 1964, il « épouse » l'actrice Judy Garland lors d'une cérémonie religieuse célébrée par un prêtre bouddhiste en Australie, bien qu'elle soit encore mariée avec le producteur de cinéma Sidney Luft (1915-2005). Après que le divorce de Judy Garland avec ce dernier aura été prononcé l'année suivante, il l'épousera officiellement le 14 novembre 1965. Ils se sépareront définitivement six mois plus tard, car elle a découvert qu'il est homosexuel, mais ils ne divorceront que le 11 avril 1967.
Même si l'un des biographes de Judy Garland, Gerald Clarke, rapporte dans son livre Get Happy (paru en 2000) que Herron aurait eu une aventure avec Tallulah Bankhead avant sa rencontre avec celle qui allait devenir sa femme, la plupart des sources, dont un autre biographe de Judy Garland, David Shipman, et la propre fille de Garland, Lorna Luft (issue de son 3e mariage), ont catégoriquement affirmé, la dernière dans ses mémoires Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir, que Herron était homosexuel, et que son homosexualité fut la raison pour laquelle Judy Garland demanda le divorce. Avant et après son mariage, il aurait vécu avec son amant, Henry Brandon, un acteur américain d'origine allemande, jusqu'à la mort de celui-ci en 1990.
Mark Herron est mort d'un cancer, en 1996, à l'âge de 67 ans.

The film follows the life of David Marshall Williams (James Stewart), who was a member of the Winchester team that invented the semi-automatic M1 Carbine used in World War II. Williams was found distilling illegal moonshine, and was held responsible for the death of a federal officer during a raid on his still. He was sentenced to thirty years hard labor. He cycled through the prison system, until a firm, but compassionate warden, H.T. Peoples (Wendell Corey), allowed him to work in a prison tool shop. There, he invented the gas system for his famous rifle. Williams was released from prison in 1929 and worked with Winchester Firearms on development of the M1 Carbine.
