	George Woolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Monroe Woolf (May 10, 1910 – January 4, 1946) was a Canadian-born thoroughbred race horse jockey and the namesake of the annual jockey's award given by the United States Jockeys' Guild.
		As such, Woolf was taught to ride horses as a child and as a teenager he rode in horse races and competed in rodeo events in Alberta and Montana.
		Following its creation, George Woolf was an inaugural inductee into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1955 and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1956.

	American Experience \| Seabiscuit \| Mammals & Events
		Woolf's style was cowboy cool: he wore a ten-gallon hat, large rings on his fingers, tailored gabardine shirts, and cowboy boots decorated with animals made of silver.
		Woolf was a generous man and a good friend, and in his early days, he and Red Pollard, the jockey who became Seabiscuit's primary rider, became life-long buddies.
		In it, Woolf and Seabiscuit were credited with one of the greatest performances ever -- although the horse and rider came in second by a nose.

	"George Eliot" by Virginia Woolf
		George Eliot was the pseudonym of novelist, translator, and religious writer Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880).
		George Eliot was not charming; she was not strongly feminine; she had none of those eccentricities and inequalities of temper which give to so many artists the endearing simplicity of children.
		For her, too, the burden and the complexity of womanhood were not enough; she must reach beyond the sanctuary and pluck for herself the strange bright fruits of art and knowledge.

	Archives \| Complexity and Contradiction, V. Woolfe & G. Eliot by Brooke Allen, Vol. 16 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Woolf’s literary style, and the chatty, confidential skill with which she charmingly feminized the belletrist tradition of the previous generation, has long made readers feel they know her, while her beauty and vulner- ability have made them feel protective toward her.
		Woolf proved herself to be no victim but a tough and resourceful person who overcame the handicaps of her sex and her mental illness to a remarkable degree and carved out for herself a life of freedom, work, and friendship which would have been inconceivable to women a generation earlier.
		If one had to sum up George Eliot, one would have to conclude that she was not by nature unconventional—that is, she had no wish to flout convention—but that she was possessed of a personal honesty so fundamental and uncompromising that it forced her into an unconventional life whether she wanted one or not.

	Virginia Woolf
		Virginia Woolf was born in London, as the daughter of Julia Jackson Duckworth, a member of the Duckworth publishing family, and Sir Leslie Stephen, a literary critic, a friend of Meredith, Henry James, Tennyson, Matthew Arnold, and George Eliot, and the founder of the Dictionary of National Biography.
		Leonard Woolf was born in London as the son of a barrister.

		NEW YORK (AP) - George and Martha, the hard-slugging husband and wife at the center of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", have returned to Broadway, and their fisticuffs, verbal and otherwise, are just as ferocious and funny as ever.
		At one time, George's future, as a possible successor to his father-in-law, was bright.
		Yet "Virginia Woolf" is a series of confrontations that involve not only George and Martha, but also Nick and Honey, a young couple who arrive for a nightcap after a faculty party.

		Stevens, with almost 5,000 victories to his name, was selected to play rider George 'Iceman' Woolf in the film which tells the true story of a remarkable racehorse.
		But he nearly missed the UK launch of the blockbuster, which is already being tipped as an Oscar contender, after an horrific race accident two months ago left him lucky to be alive.
		But his easy transition into the role of Woolf has clearly attracted interest from film-makers, and Stevens talks of a project in the Spring, which he will not elaborate on.
