John McIntire possessed the requisite grit, craggy features and crusty, steely-eyed countenance to make for one of television and film's most durable supporting players in western settings and film noir. Born in Spokane, Washington in 1907 and the son of a lawyer, he grew up in Montana where he learned to raise and ride broncos on the family homestead. After two years at USC, he spent some time out at sea before turning his attentions to entertainment and the stage. As a radio announcer, he gained quite a following announcing on the "March of Time" broadcasts.
In the late 1940s, John migrated west and found a niche for himself in rugged oaters and crimers. Normally the politicians, ranchers and lawmen he portrayed could be counted on for their integrity, maturity and worldly wise, no-nonsense approach to life such as in Black Bart (1948), Down to the Sea in Ships (1949), The Asphalt Jungle (1950), Scene of the Crime (1949) Ambush (1950) Saddle Tramp (1950) and The World in His Arms (1952). However, director Anthony Mann tapped his versatility and gave him a few shadier, more interesting villains to play in two of his top-notch western films: Winchester '73 (1950) and The Far Country (1954) and a kindhearted role in The Tin Star (1957). Television helped John gain an even stronger foothold in late 1950s Hollywood. Although his character departed the first season of the Naked City (1958) program, he became a familiar face in two other classic western series. He won the role of Christopher Hale in 1961 after Wagon Train (1957) series' star Ward Bond died, and then succeeded the late Charles Bickford in The Virginian (1962) in 1967 playing Bickford's brother, Clay Grainger, for three years.
John's deep, dusty, resonant voice was utilized often for narratives and documentaries. In the ensuing years, he and his longtime wife, actress Jeanette Nolan, became the Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee of the sagebrush set, appearing together as the quintessential frontier couple for decades and decades. They were married for 56 years until John's death of emphysema in 1991. They both outlived their son, Tim McIntire, a strapping, imposing actor himself, who died in 1986 of heart problems.- Doctor, director, television personality. At the end of the 1st MMI named after I.M. Sechenov (1958) and clinical residency (1960) worked at the 29th city hospital named after N.E. Bauman; then he moved (1962-1969) to the laboratory of experimental physiology for the revitalization of organisms of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, created by Professor V.A. Negovsky. In 1964, at the S.P. Botkin, the first general resuscitation department in the USSR was organized, on the basis of which a Moscow mobile resuscitation center began operating, serving Moscow hospitals. Axelrod took an active part in the organization and creation of the center. Since 1969 he worked at the CIU. In 1971, he created a neuroresuscitation department at the Moscow Clinical Hospital named after S.P. Botkin; organized the first resuscitation barocenter in it, developed the principles of using the method of hyperbaric oxygenation in resuscitation. The level of knowledge and authority of Axelrod were so high that in the most stagnant years he was sent to an international conference of military doctors in Germany. Axelrod was the first to promote resuscitation methods for the population and wrote the work "Revitalization without sensations" (Moscow, 1974; 2nd ed. - Moscow, 1988). Author of books and articles on his specialty, in particular, on acute blood loss in obstetric practice. Has published several educational and popular science books: "Rather," fast ". A guide to first aid "(1990)," Oxygen in our life "(1977). In domestic journalism, he is known as an author, director and presenter of radio and television programs. Conducted a weekly program "You - 03" about the rules for providing first aid in extreme situations. In the mid-1950s, together with young doctors Arkady Arkanov, A. Levenbuk, A. Livshits and others, he created a creative association under the name VTEK (Medical theater and variety collective). Took part in the organization and activities of the pop studio of the MU "Our House" (1958-1970), which took a prominent place in the movement of STEMs (Student Theatrical Variety Miniatures). Following this, the BBB program appeared on TV ("An evening of funny questions", made by Axelrod, together with M. Yakovlev and S. Muratov based on the model of the Czech television program "Guess, guess, fortuneteller"). It aired only three times and was filmed for political reasons ("imitation of the worst methods and customs of bourgeois television"). Subsequently, the initiators proposed the idea of ??a new program - KVN ("Club of the Merry and Resourceful", 1961), which turned out to be a long-lived project that still exists today, despite a number of very dramatic situations experienced. Axelrod was the first host of the program, but in 1964, under pressure from circumstances, he had to leave the program. Muratov and Yakovlev also left as a sign of solidarity. Axelrod - the author, together with his colleagues in KVN, publishers "Club of the cheerful and resourceful" (1965), "Course of Merry Sciences" (1974); the creator of scenarios for theatrical performances (under the pseudonym A. Askerov): "We are building our house!" (1985), "Planning area" (1986), "In the name of common sense" (1990) and the like. In 1990 he was invited to be a member of the KVN jury.
