	Film \| Howard Keel
		Howard Keel, who has died of cancer aged 85, was a gutsy baritone with a cheerful swagger and a wonderful smile who gave larger than life performances in film musicals such as Annie Get Your Gun (1950), Show Boat (1951) and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954).
		Forceful and energetic, Keel's performances and songs were imbued with a vibrant joie de vivre and bravado, but also a gentleness that never allowed them to collapse into braggadocio.
		For Keel the key ingredient was cinematographer George Folsey, who took the stock and made the musical look, according to Keel, like a Grandma Moses painting.

	Biography for Howard Keel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Born Harold Clifford Keel in Gillespie, Illinois, in 1919, his childhood was admittedly unhappy, his parents being a hard-drinking coal miner and stern, repressed Methodist homemaker.
		The robust Keel moved effortlessly (if routinely) into rugged action fare and appeared in such films as Armored Command (1961), Waco (1966), Red Tomahawk (1967) and The War Wagon (1967), the last one starring John Wayne and featuring Howard as a wise-cracking Indian, of all things.
		Howard became an unexpected TV household name when he replaced the Jim Davis as the upstanding family patriarch of the nighttime soap drama "Dallas"; (1978) after Davis' untimely death.
