A New York native of Sicilian heritage, Ben Gazzara was a strongly masculine, subtly menacing screen presence with a gravelly voice that one writer described as "saloon-cured" and another said could strip paint at 50 paces.

The veteran actor, who died Friday in New York City, found fame on Broadway in the 1950s, starred in the TV series "Run for Your Life" in the 1960s and was closely identified on the big screen with independent filmmaker John Cassavetes.

A night in Paris (sort of): Former painter opens Ogden nightspot

OGDEN -- At least one victim of the housing crisis is bouncing back by opening The Paris Cafe, a romantically named but unfinished-looking hole-in-the-wall that Ernie McKown hopes will be Ogden's latest non-alcoholic night spot.

It all started, he said, because it got too depressing painting homes from which people had been evicted. It was also depressing that the pay wasn't very good.
