Known best for a recurring role as John McIntyre on M*A*S*H, Rogers passed away on December 31, 3015 from complications from pneumonia in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 82. Below, BroadwayWorld takes a look back at this accomplished performer's career. Check out the photo flashback below!
Harold Pinter was born in Hackney, in London's East End, in October of 1930. An only child, he was born to Jewish parents of very moderate means; his father, a tailor, and his mother, a homemaker, were first-generation descendants of Eastern European immigrants. Like many of his contemporaries, Pinter's childhood was shaped by the onslaught of World War II; at the age of nine, he was evacuated from London through Operation Pied Piper and resettled in a town in Cornwall. The sense of isolation he felt in Cornwall would come to influence his work, as would the changed London to which he returned during the Blitz, where he was witness to, as his 2008 Guardianobituary put it, 'the dramatic nature of wartime life - the palpable fear, the sexual desperation, the genuine sense that everything could end tomorrow.'

Author and former New York City firefighter John Finucane (When The Bronx Burned) has announced the release of his latest novel No Irish Need Apply. A historical portrait of New York City's Hell's Kitchen during the Mid-1800s that chronicles the friendship and struggles of Johnny O'Hara and his best friend Red. They are the children of immigrants who escaped Ireland's Great Hunger (1845-1851). Both orphaned at an early age, Johnny and Red try to survive amidst the poverty, street gangs and the strong anti-Irish Catholic prejudice of the time. Red is a homeless and fearless youngster who deals with the brutality and violence of their environment with fists and wits. The two close friends are members of an all-immigrant fire company that is despised by surrounding fire companies that are manned by American-born men. Unwittingly, both groups are also victims of the greedy elites who thrive on working class division; keeping immigrants and native Americans divided. Finucane's new book explores the transition from a volunteer fire department to a professional fire department. No Irish Need Apply is also an inspirational love story that reveals the blood, sweat and passions of the Irish immigrants who help build New York City.
