Remembering Ellsworth Kelly, Haskell Wexler, George Clayton Johnson, Snuff Garrett

Ellsworth Kelly was the American artist who eschewed abstract expressionism, preferring to work on the relationship between shape, form and color. Haskell Wexler was the film cinematographer who won two Academy Awards, one for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” (1966) and the other for “Bound For Glory” (1976). George Clayton Johnson was a writer for film and television. He wrote the first episode of Star Trek and several memorable episodes of Twilight Zone, as well as for the films “Ocean’s Eleven” (1960) and “Logan’s Run” (1976). Snuff Garrett was the record producer who produced the memorable 1965 hit “This Diamond Ring” for Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
