He was 78. Robards died at the Bridgeport Hospital in the U-S state of Connecticut. Robards started out as a stage actor in the 1950s, gaining critical acclaim for his performances in Eugene O'Neill plays, including \"The Iceman Cometh\" and \"Long Day's Journey Into Night.\" He won a Tony award for his performance in \"The Disenchanted.\" He made his film debut in 1959, playing a Hungarian freedom fighter in \"The Journey.\" After the film was shot, Robards said he preferred theatre to the movies. Yet he went on to make more than 50 feature films, winning Academy Awards for his portrayal of Washington Post Executive Editor, Ben Bradlee, in \"All the President's Men\" in 1976 and novelist Dashiell Hammett in \"Julia\" the following year. Modern movie audiences knew Robards for his portrayal of Bradlee in the story of the Watergate scandal. His other films included: \"Divorce American Style,\" 1967; \"Julius Caesar,\" 1970; \"Johnny Got His Gun,\" 1971; \"Comes a Horseman,\" 1978; \"Melvin and Howard,\" 1980; and \"Philadelphia,\" 1994. In 1997, he played the tyrannical land baron father in \"A Thousand Acres,\" the film adaptation of Jane Smiley's Pulitzer-prize winning novel. He also appeared in \"Beloved\", in 1998, \"Enemy of the State\", in 1998, and in \"Magnolia\", in 1999. In 1999, Robards was one of five performers selected to receive the Kennedy Centre Honours. Despite his prolific film work, Robards stayed loyal to the theatre. Robards, who was known as a classical actor, shunned the notion of \"method\" acting and actors who look for motivation for their stage work. Robards was born Jason Nelson Robards Junior on 26 July, 1922, in Chicago, the son of a prominent actor. Despite his father's prolific career in more than 170 movies, the young Robards had no interest in acting while he was growing up. At Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, Robards was on the baseball, football, basketball and track teams, and thought about becoming a professional athlete. After graduating in 1939, he went on active duty with the U-S Naval Reserve as an apprentice seaman. While serving in the Pacific, Robards read some plays by O'Neill and told his father he wanted to try his hand at acting. At his father's urging, Robards enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1946. In 1953, director Jose Quintero gave him the male lead in Victor Wolfson's \"American Gothic,\" which opened off-Broadway. He earned his first critical acclaim in May 1956, when he appeared in \"The Iceman Cometh\" at the Circle in the Square, again under Quintero's direction. Robards played Hickey, the salesman who forces the characters to accept death. Robards was married four times - including once to Lauren Bacall - and had six children. In his later years, he lived with his wife of more than 30 years, Lois, in what he once called \"a quiet life on the water\" in nearby Fairfield. After a bad car accident in 1972, Robard's face had to be surgically reconstructed. He said that he had had bouts of depression during his life and was once a heavy drinker. He said he gave up alcohol in 1974. He sometimes rejected characterisations of him as America's leading actor, and was quoted in 1993 as saying \"All I know about acting is that I just have to keep on doing it.\" SOUNDBITE: (English) \"It goes in to the human condition very much. Estrangement and the fact that the parents are, Tom Cruise plays my son, and the fact that they're estranged since he was 14. All these sort of things that are, that we find familiar in life.\" SUPER CAPTION: Jason Robards SOUNDBITE: (English) \"Everyone of us who has ever had to give a significant number of public speeches has wished at some moment in his life that he had a voice like Jason Robards.\" SUPER CAPTION: President, Bill Clinton SHOTLIST: Various New Line Cinema 1.

INTERVIEW RESUMES: David Susskind 10:02 The thing you just did reminds me must have been born out of your years as a social director in the Catskills. Mel Brooks 10:07 Yes I was a pool tumbler David Susskind 10:09 What is that? Mel Brooks 10:09 Well, I an entertainer, I wasn't a real comic yet, I was allowed to entertain the guests at the pool. After lunch, I would come out with a derby and a heavy alpaca coat in the middle of July. Two heavy suitcases filled with bricks. And I would jump off the diving board screaming I don't want to live and that would give them a laugh after lunch to settle down with us to serve food in the mountains. They served me a thing when I don't know what it was. It was like something wrapped in something you know what the heavy dough and it was like undercooked with a little noodle with a little meat. I don't know what it was. I called it Harold. And it laid onto my heart for three years. And every day I'd say good morning Harold. How are you? Remember when I ate you your little devil? Worst food in the world? David Susskind 11:04 What was that? You know, everyone today says that that was the great breeding place. Mel Brooks 11:08 It was a sporty place for a lot of Jewish comedians, David Susskind 11:12 because we're those tough people to please. I mean Mel Brooks 11:15 Tough? they liked nothing. I used to do an hour and a half in one. With taps with everything I'd sing I dance, I tell stories and jokes. I do Jolie. I kill myself. And I say I don't like me, folks. You stink your state. And they were the critics. Atkinson and Crowder in their equivalents that Jewish Jewish lady would be in the tea room in the tea room, a little sponge cake and tea and you go by and they say never mind we like you'll never mind. That comment. I don't mind doing Don't worry. You. Never mind. You don't have to be good for us. David Susskind 11:49 that'll break your heart Mel Brooks 11:53 They like nothing. They only said all I ever heard was $16 a day. Let's breathe. David Susskind 12:01 Oh, you were in high school in college. You had a jazz band it Bruno Lynch and his Imperial Jazz Band. BRUNO Lynch. George Segal 12:09 Bruno Lynch Yes. i In all honesty, I did change my name at one time in my career. David Susskind 12:14 So you did George Segal 12:15 Yes, I did. Because I felt that George Segal in his Imperial jazz band didn't have the rhythm didn't have the spunk didn't have to go. BRUNO Lynch and his Imperial jazz. What do you think? David Susskind 12:25 Which is why Bruno Lynch became a household word and a great record seller. Yes. Mel Brooks 12:29 Did you kidnap that Lindbergh baby? David Susskind 12:32 Where you, were you uh? Oh Lord. Were you a success a lot of places George Segal 12:48 Yes I had some success. Yes, I saying I wish I could show me that. I was the vocalist also for the band and I was the organizer and leader of the band which was the only way that I could play with the band. Since I was the worst musician in the band. They were very good musicians David Steinberg 13:01 George, would you do something for us now? George Segal 13:05 I wish I could Jimmy like my sister Kate. Oh, she takes it like cupola jelly on a plate and all the boys in the neighborhood. They know she does it and it's mighty going oh I know I'm late but I'll be up to date if I can take it David Susskind 13:15 you're all right it's it's it's it's a ghastly way to go the trouble is you never know when he's acting. George Segal 13:42 What are you doing? David Susskind 13:44 I'm just I'm putting your mic and putting your mic back up. Mel Brooks 13:49 George, you're on the David Susskind show. you'll be home in a half hour David Susskind 13:57 when did you and how did you get the show business? You alright, George George Segal 14:02 I'm okay I'm okay. David Susskind 14:05 You won't have to sing again. David Mel Brooks 14:08 I think God heard you sing and said.. David Susskind 14:16 David, how and when did you get the show business bug? David Steinberg 14:19 Oh it's not an interesting story. David Susskind 14:23 Weren't you were being prepared for being a Rabbi David Steinberg 14:26 yes they used to salt me two hours every day prepared? No i i studied that. I took a degree of Hebrew literature but that's not rabbinical. That's Mel Brooks 14:41 you learn the mother tongue did your mother tongue is yet when you want to hear the real mother tongue Yes. When you come up already at six o'clock What am I gonna just keep it hot all the time for you. You're not gonna eat. That's all your everybody's eating but you that is the mother tongue David Susskind 15:01 I remember you had a brief fling on Broadway Stan Herman 15:04 Yeah, I did. David Susskind 15:05 tried to be in Stan Herman 15:06 I got out of the dress business I decided to be a singer I was in on. I was Pierre Olaf's under study that was my big claim to fame. I saw myself as Rock Hudson and they saw me as Pierre Olaf so I got out of show business. I also did George I sang I did you know those 12 hits for $1 that used to buy in the in the five and 10 where you think it was Elvis Presley and you think I was the Everly Brothers both of them? I was telling Della Reese because they're Mel Brooks 15:33 Notice the way he's looking for the next question. Yeah Stan Herman 15:39 that was my that was my Mel Brooks 15:40 intention. How cruel. How sharp this business, how evil really? I mean the band's the middle of a very terribly boring story for the next question, burying you're ready to turn out terrible I think God has taken a dislike to you and you know his punishments are terrific. David Susskind 16:06 Could you project what will happen? Mel Brooks 16:10 A flood. he's very good at what you do as you can see here, alright, without standing without you guys. Without standing and they give us four bars. I don't see anything you know, Joe. You know Joe Greene's work, don't you? Yes. That's Joe. Great. Do a little Giuseppe version. Be Wayne, that's easy. Stan Herman 16:42 Okay Daddy domani not that serious. Mel Brooks 16:47 That was very good, by the way Stan Herman 16:54 Not bad, if you want to come down to the Bowery and watch me sing at the Bowery Mel Brooks 16:57 I've got a maroon Buick parked outside. If you want to go down the Bowery David Susskind 17:04 as you talk about your Mothers Day Mel Brooks 17:06 As you talk, I didn't say a word Dan Greenburg 17:08 The question begins as you talk about your mothers. Read the question please David Susskind 17:21 Were your mothers really the original. Original women's liberation is you know, I mean, it's not Kate MILLETTE. And, Bella, Dan Greenburg 17:30 no, I don't think they know what to make of that. I don't really think they know what to make of that. No, but their mother's mother's mother's David Susskind 17:37 Father was the provider Mel Brooks 17:42 what's the status quo? Right? That's traditionalists. And if this is a movement, they're against any movement, per se, I think Jewish mothers. Dan Greenburg 17:51 Yeah. But also it's really the whole opposite of what a Jewish mother is all about. I mean, women's liberation is so one to equal rights and so on. Mothers don't want equal rights. The duty Mel Brooks 18:02 they want domination David Susskind 18:05 When you see once a week, you see your folks. Oh they live in Chicago. When you do see your folks, do you discuss Dan Greenburg 18:11 We eat a lot George Segal 18:12 I met Dan's dance folks on the beach. You possibly didn't know that? Mel Brooks 18:16 I didn't. Even as you speak I don't know. George Segal 18:20 So tell us I met I met the MR. MRS. Greenberg. And they're lovely. Quiet cuties. Mel Brooks 18:26 What was your mother upset with the book? I mean, did she think that anything was you know? Dan Greenburg 18:30 No, because I told her it wasn't about her. It isn't. My mother is a nice English lady. A wonderful accent very charming. My mother Mel Brooks 18:42 did not watch what she did. She you know, asked you about Dan Greenburg 18:45 she said what is this place? And no, I totally was a very gentle, loving book and everything. And some people whispered in the ear that it wasn't quite that but no she she really loved when she got to be a kind of a local celebrity in her Hebrew school. She teaches Hebrew school and people stop in the Hebrew school and ask for her autograph. It's very cute. Mel Brooks 19:06 Did they did she sign it from right to left? That's pretty lovely. She does. She teaches you teaches you I will be in Chicago. I'm promoting. We're opening Dan Greenburg 19:16 look her up Mel Brooks 19:16 We're opening 12 chirs in Chicago.

There's a big reformed temple in in Los Angeles, Mel Brooks 20:06 like to stay close to God. David Steinberg 20:08 Close to the temple. Yeah. But, but what's interesting about it is that in Los Angeles, I think there is this rabbi who went to school for 12 years to get his degree of Rubik's. He has a degree of Hebrew literature. He went to Hebrew University for four years to get an MA in English Literature comes to Los Angeles as the leading congregation. And as people pass by the seat that's Buddy Hackett shul David Susskind 20:40 that's funny hold it a minute back in a minute

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1461 IN_TIME: 18:00:46 - 19:23:55 // 20:51:31 LENGTH: 02:25 SOURCES: All APTN except shot 12 = WABC, 11 = POOL RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA The wait for snow on the United States' East Coast ended before sunrise on Saturday, as the first flakes fell in what threatened to be the area's worst winter storm since 1996. After bypassing most of the Mid-Atlantic region, a major winter storm is pummeling New York City. Many flights are being cancelled, and train traffic is also being disrupted in the region. In Washington, D-C the skies were blue, but travellers at Reagan National Airport were hit with flight cancellations and delays related to the storm. About one foot of snow is predicted in the Big Apple. New York waged an all-out war on the white stuff Saturday, scraping, salting and sanding away the biggest snowstorm to hit the city in recent years. By mid-morning the 8 inches of flakes that blurred most walkways in the mammoth park were a record snowfall for December 30, breaking the previous record of 2-point-9 inches set in 1939. More than 100 city buses were stuck on snow-clogged roads, a car pile-up shut down the one key parkway in Queens, and in midtown Manhattan, a snow-laden scaffold collapsed. The National Weather Service forecast an accumulation of 10 to 16 inches by late afternoon. 352 salt spreaders were dipping into the city's 200-thousand-ton salt stash, organising workers to 12-hour shifts for the duration of the storm. City officials set up emergency shelters at 10 city schools. The biggest storm in previous recent years was on January 7th, 1996 when 19 inches of snow fell on the city. Only 13 inches fell on the city during the entire winter of 1999-2000. Snow was also falling in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York throughout the morning and was expected to reach Boston Saturday afternoon. Weather Service analysts say the storm is likely to be the worst in the area in four years. In his radio address, President Clinton said the energy and transportation departments will work together to ensure that the heating oil distribution system doesn't get disrupted by bad weather. He says tough conditions give Americans a chance to show they can be good neighbours. SOUNDBITE: (English) "None of us can control the weather. But all of us are responsible how we respond to and prepare for it. With the actions I'm taking the federal government is taking its responsibility. Across the nation, American are also doing their part. Snowplow drivers are working late into the night. Emergency shelter workers are offering a warm place to sleep for families whose homes are without power. Younger neighbors are bringing hot food to their older neighbors and shovelling their walkways. The worst weather always seems to bring out the best in the American people." SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, President The first major storm of the season is especially taking a toll on air travellers in the Northeast. New York's Kennedy International Airport is down to one runway. And the city's LaGuardia airport has been closed, as has Newark International in nearby New Jersey. An official at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the facility, said he did not know when the airports would be able to reopen. A spokesman was quoted as saying that as soon as they can get a runway clear, it fills with snow once again. Airport shutdowns mean travellers, often far from home, are facing tough decision on where they will spend the night. In the Washington, D-C area warnings of a major snow storm were followed only by blue skies. The District lifted its snow emergency early this morning, the sun is shining and emergency road crews are beginning to stand down. The National Weather Service has cancelled even the winter weather advisory and the forecast now anticipates less than an inch of snow, if that. But delays elsewhere have caused some people's travel plans to collapse. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well, we arrived at five thirty this morning. We thought we were getting on a plane that left at 7:15, but we were told it had been cancelled."

Bob Hope waves to well wishers from hospital gallery at Eisenhower Medical Centre before being discharged after being hospitalised for intestinal bleeding BOB HOPE DIES AGED 100 Bob Hope, master of the one-liner and favorite comedian of US servicemen and presidents alike, has died, less than two months after turning 100. Hope died late on Sunday of pneumonia at his home in Toluca Lake, California, with his family at his bedside, longtime publicist Ward Grant said on Monday. The United States' most-honoured comedian, a millionaire many times over, was a star in every category open to him - vaudeville, radio, television and film, most notably a string of "Road" movies with longtime friend Bing Crosby. For decades, he took his show on the road to bases around the world, boosting the morale of servicemen from World War II to the Gulf War. He perfected the one-liner, peppering audiences with a fusillade of brief, topical gags. He poked fun gently, without malice, and made himself the butt of many jokes. His golf scores and physical attributes, including his celebrated ski-jump nose, were frequent subjects. When Hope went into one of his monologues, it was almost as though the world was conditioned to respond. No matter that the joke was old or flat; he was Bob Hope and he got laughs. "Audiences are my best friends," he liked to say. "You never tire of talking with your best friends." He was admired by his peers, and generations of younger comedians. Woody Allen called Hope "the most influential comedian for me." Hope earned a fortune, gave lavishly to charity and was showered with awards, so many that he had to rent a warehouse to store them. Through he said he was afraid of flying, Hope travelled countless miles to entertain servicemen in field hospitals, jungles and aircraft carriers from France to Berlin to Vietnam to the Gulf. His Christmas tours became tradition. So often was Hope away entertaining, and so little did he see his wife, Dolores, and their four adopted children, that he once remarked, "When I get home these days, my kids think I've been booked on a personal appearance tour." Hope had a reputation as an ad-libber, but he kept a stable of writers and had filing cabinets full of jokes. He never let a good joke die - if it got a laugh in Vietnam, it would get a laugh in Saudi Arabia. On his 100th birthday, he was too frail to take part in public celebrations, but was said to be alert and happy - and overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection. The fabled intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street was renamed Bob Hope Square, and President George W. Bush established the Bob Hope American Patriot Award. He was born Leslie Townes Hope on May 29, 1903, in Eltham, England, the fifth of seven sons of a British stonemason and a Welsh singer of light opera. The Hopes emigrated to the United States when he was four and settled in Cleveland, Ohio. They found themselves in the backwash of the 1907 depression. The boy helped out by selling newspapers and working in a shoe store, a drug store and a meat market. He also worked as a caddy and developed a lifelong fondness for golf. A highly competitive golfer, he later shot in the 70s and sponsored the Bob Hope Golf Classic, one of the nation's biggest tournaments. Hope changed his name to Bob when classmates ridiculed his English schoolboy name. He boxed for a time under the name Packy East and Hope also tried a semester in college before devoting himself to show business. He quickly veered from song and dance to comedy patter, and his monologue routine was born. By 1930, he had reached vaudeville's pinnacle - The Palace - and in the '30s he played leading parts in such Broadway musicals as "Roberta," "Ziegfeld Follies" and "Red, Hot and Blue," with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante. During "Roberta," he met nightclub singer Dolores Reade and invited her to the show. They married in 1934. After a few guest radio spots, Hope began working regularly on a Bromo Seltzer radio program. In 1938, he was hired by Pepsodent to create his own show, and that led him to Hollywood. Paramount signed him for "The Big Broadcast of 1938," in which he introduced the song that became his trademark: "Thanks for the Memory." Soon he was teaming with Crosby in the seven "Road" pictures - "Road to Bali," "Road to Morocco," "Road to Zanzibar" and so on - playing best friends who lie, cheat and make fun of each other in comedic competition for glory and Dorothy Lamour. In between, there were such pictures as "Cat and the Canary," "The Paleface," "Louisiana Purchase," "My Favorite Blonde," "That Certain Feeling," "I'll Take Sweden" and "Boy, Did I get a Wrong Number." He made 53 films from 1938 to 1972. In 1950, he entered television, and his successes continued. Even 40 years later, he could be counted on to pull in respectable ratings. He also appeared more than 20 times at the Academy Awards, first on radio and than on television, as presenter, cohost or host between 1939 and 1978. Hope started playing to American troops well before the United States entered World War II. He tried to enlist, but was told he could be of more use as an entertainer. He played his first camp show at California's March Field on May 6, 1941, seven months before Pearl Harbor. He eventually lost count of the number of shows he gave. His traditional Christmas tours began in 1948, when he went to Berlin to entertain GIs involved in the airlift. His 1966 Vietnam Christmas show, when televised, was watched by an estimated 65 million people, the largest audience of his career. Hope at first was hawkish on Vietnam. Later, he said he was "just praying they get an honorable peace so our guys don't have to fight. I've seen too many wars." In 1990, he traveled to the Gulf to entertain troops preparing for war with Iraq. Hope amassed a fortune, investing much of it in real estate in California's San Fernando Valley, Palm Springs and Malibu. Forbes magazine in 1983 estimated his wealth at more than 200 (m) million US dollars, but Hope denied it. Mrs. Hope, a prominent Roman Catholic laywoman, kept busy with her charities and their four adopted children, Linda, Anthony, Nora and Kelly. Until increasing frailty slowed him down, Hope repeatedly pledged never to quit entertaining. "I'm not retiring until they carry me away," he said. "And I'll have a few routines on the way to the big divot."
