Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Peters, Clarke (1952-) Subject The topic of the resource Movies Theater Description An account of the resource <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke_Peters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clarke Peters</a>(born Peter Clarke, April 7, 1952) is an internationally acclaimed actor, writer, and director whose work in theater, film, and television is grounded in a lifelong commitment to culture, community, and place. Although he has spent much of his adult life in the United Kingdom, Peters’ artistic identity was forged in Englewood, New Jersey, a town he has affectionately described as “Angel Wood.” Raised in Englewood after being born in New York City, Peters grew up in a community marked by cultural richness, artistic exchange, and an unusually strong commitment to integration. He has recalled Englewood as one of the early American towns where parents organized across racial, religious, and class lines in the late 1950s and early 1960s to push for integrated public schools. That spirit of collective action left a deep impression on him. His childhood world included both church and synagogue, reinforcing a sense of pluralism and shared civic life that he has often described as a “beautiful legacy.” Englewood was also a place where extraordinary talent felt close at hand. Jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie lived in town, and music was woven into everyday life. Peter attended school alongside Ernie Isley of the Isley Brothers and John Travolta, forming friendships that reflected Englewood’s unique position as a crossroads of Black cultural innovation and mainstream American entertainment. As teenagers, Peters, Isley, and Travolta would go ice-skating together—an unremarkable pastime made remarkable in retrospect by who they would become. Peters’ own path toward performance began early. At age fourteen, he appeared in his first stage production, a high-school staging of My Fair Lady, in which he played an urchin. The production was directed by Helen Cecilia Travolta, John Travolta’s mother, who was deeply involved in local theater and education. That experience proved decisive. Though Peters briefly imagined a future as a baseball player, acting was already embedded in his life, shaped by Englewood’s schools, neighbors, and informal cultural networks. He graduated from Dwight Morrow High School in 1970, carrying with him the influences of a town that prized both excellence and community. Soon after, he left the United States, first working in Paris and then settling in London, where he adopted the professional name Clarke Peters and built a distinguished career on the British stage. Over time, he became a celebrated presence in West End and Broadway productions and an award-winning creator, writing the book for the Tony-nominated musical revue Five Guys Named Moe. Despite his international success, Peters’ performances have consistently reflected the values he absorbed in Englewood. His portrayal of Detective Lester Freamon on The Wire drew on patience, moral seriousness, and attention to unseen labor. His role as Mardi Gras Indian chief Albert Lambreaux on Treme demanded cultural precision, respect for ritual, and an understanding of how neighborhoods carry memory—qualities Peters has traced directly to his upbringing. Englewood remains central to how Clarke Peters understands himself: not merely as a hometown, but as a formative experiment in integration, creativity, and shared responsibility. Long after leaving New Jersey, the lessons of “Angel Wood” continue to shape an artist whose work honors culture as something lived, protected, and passed on. Beckerman, Jim.

Title A name given to the resource MacArthur, Helen Hayes Brown (1900-1993) Helen Hayes Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Toronto Star Description An account of the resource Helen Hayes was one of the most celebrated actresses in American history and was widely known as the "First Lady of the American Theatre." Active on stage and screen from 1905 to 1987, she became the first person to achieve what is now known as the Triple Crown of Acting and was the second woman to earn an EGOT, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Academy Award, and Tony Award. Her extraordinary contributions to American culture were recognized with both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Arts. Her legacy continues through the annual Helen Hayes Awards, which honor excellence in professional theater in the Washington, D.C., region. Beyond her acting career, Hayes was deeply involved in philanthropy and civic life. A lifelong Catholic and active Republican, she supported numerous charitable organizations, including the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Riverside Shakespeare Company. She also devoted significant time to the <a href="https://actorsfundhome.org/history">Actors Fund of America</a>, serving as one of its vice presidents. The Actors Fund operated a network of homes and care facilities for entertainment professionals in several locations across the United States, providing housing, health care, and support services for actors and other members of the performing arts community. Hayes was a prominent advocate for the organization and helped raise awareness of its mission throughout her career. Hayes also maintained a close relationship with the Actors Fund Home in Englewood, New Jersey, one of the organization's most well-known facilities. She later became a resident there, and her connection to the home was highlighted by a widely publicized celebration of her 80th birthday in October 1980. The event drew fellow stage and screen legends, including Lillian Gish, Ethel Merman, Maureen Stapleton, Colleen Dewhurst, and Mildred Natwick. During the celebration, Actors Fund officials announced plans for a permanent rose garden featuring "Helen Hayes Roses," ensuring that her presence at the home would be remembered for years to come. The gathering reflected the affection and admiration she inspired throughout the theatrical community and underscored her special place in the history of the Actors Fund Home. In her personal life, Hayes married Charles MacArthur in 1928. The couple had two children: Mary MacArthur, who tragically died from polio in 1949, and James MacArthur, who went on to become a successful actor in his own right. Hayes was also the grandmother of Charles P. MacArthur, Mary McClure, Juliette Rappaport, and James D. MacArthur.
