Action bronson biography of abraham lincoln

Abraham Lincoln gave one speech in Michigan – in the presidential campaign of 1856. Mr. Lincoln gave many speeches for Republican Presidential candidate John C. Frémont that year, but the one in Kalamazoo was preserved by the Detroit Advertiser. The speech was given in what is now Bronson Park at a giant Frémont rally at which no less than four separate speaking locations were operated simultaneously on August 27. The Battle Creek Glee Club performed as did eight bands. For those requiring more than intellectual sustenance, there were long tables of food. Although the town’s population was only 10,000, a crowd of at least that size – and maybe twice that size was present that afternoon.

Senator Zachariah Chandler, a Republican who was to bedevil Mr. Lincoln as President, spoke before him that day. Mr. Lincoln was introduced by a Republican state official, Circuit Court Judge Hezekiah G. Wells, to whom Mr. Lincoln had written six days earlier: “I at last I am able to say, no accident preventing, I will be with you on the 27th.” Given the competing venues, it was not the ideal situation for a relatively unknown out-of-state politician to make his speaking debut in Michigan. Henry P. Smith recorded in his diary:

The crowd was so dense about the stands that one could not get near enough to hear the most popular ones. After a while, I found Hattie (Smith’s wife) and the Pages and we tried our luck at several stands and finally at one of them Mr. H.G. Wells (Kalamazoo circuit judge), who is as tall as a bean pole, introduced another six footer as Mr. Lincoln, the tall sucker from Illinois.
As soon as he opened his mouth, we determined to hear him, whether or no, and elbowed our way to the stand to get the whole speech and it was the best one of the day and we gave him three cheers that could be heard in Illinois – if the wind was right.

In his speech, Mr. Lincoln addressed the twin

Chef, rapper and host of SBS VICELAND'S culinary travel show F*** That’s Delicious, Action Bronson now adds atypical late night talk show host to his chef’s hat with his food-and-chat vehicle, The Untitled Action Bronson Show.

It features a swag of guests who were '80s and '90s pop culture icons that you could be forgiven for thinking had fallen off the face of the earth, including Taylor Dayne, Bronson Pinchot, Sally Jessy Raphael, Gilbert Gottfried, David Arquette and Rosie Perez. So what have they been up to since the height of their fame? Let us catch you up.

Bronson Pinchot

What’s he been up to all these years? Pinchot has been a prolific voice artist, narrating audio books and voicing kids movies including Napoleon (1995), The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot (1998), Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure (2001) and The Tale of Despereaux (2008). He also played Duarto Feliz, “one of the 10 worst interior decorators in New York City”, in The First Wives Club (1996), beautician Jean-Luc Rieupeyroux in season six of '90s sitcom Step By Step and popped up in long-running soap The Young and the Restless in 2008.

Pinchot took a break from acting to reinvent himself as a TV DIY heritage home renovator in The Bronson Pinchot Project (and went bankrupt in the process).

Rosie Perez

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi star Kelly Marie Tran will find herself dealing with a mysterious parasitic affliction in WorthenBrooks and Hulu Original’s Control Freak, and our exclusive first look images indicate a psychologically disturbing, bloody time ahead.

Control Freak debuts exclusively on Hulu on March 13 before heading to Disney+ internationally at a later date.

The logline for this psychological thriller is straightforward, simple, and effective: “A motivational speaker is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head.” That strange itch gives way to an intense journey as the woman finds herself battling a parasitic demon from her homeland.

Tran plays  “Valerie, a woman whose life spirals into chaos due to this inexplicable and relentless affliction.” Opposite Tran, Miles Robbins (Daniel Isn’t Real, Halloween) plays “her on-screen husband Robbie.”  Toan Le rounds out the cast as Valerie’s father, Sang, with Kieu Chinh as Aunt Thuy.

The Hulu Original horror movie was written and directed by Shal Ngo (The Park, “The Box”), expanding his 2021 horror short “Control” featured in the second season of Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween. That means that Control Freak joins the ranks of WorthenBrooks’s expanding slate of horror features for Hulu, which includes titles like Appendage, The Mill, Clock, Mr. Crocket, and Carved.

The producing team behind Control Freak includes David Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, Jenna Cavelle, and Shaum S. Sengupta, with Miles Alva serving as executive producer.

Look for Shal Ngo’s Control Freak to arrive next month on Hulu. In the meantime, check out the exclusive first look images below, which doesn’t give away any parasitic details but does tease a bloody journey ahead.
