Today I was thumbing through a magazine rack at a Goodwill when I chanced upon a February 1962 issue of Pageant magazine that includes a short piece on Jean-Paul Belmondo. Belomondo was recently honored by the Los Angeles Film Critics for his career achievements. High-resolution scans of the original pages are at the bottom, following the transcription. Enjoy!

THE FILM HEROES of the young Frenchman at left are Bogart, Brando and Garfield. But put them all together and you still haven’t captured the essence of Jean-Paul Belmondo, the most off-beat European screen sensation in a decade.
I recently edited a few videos at my full time job at Vision Teleproduction, Inc. for the College Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City. The 2009 induction ceremony will be broadcasted this Sunday, December 13th at 8:00PM CST, on ESPNU. I did the career recap/highlight videos for college basketball’s all-time leading scorer Travis Grant and legendary coaches Jud Heathcote and Gene Bartow. I’m a huge sports fan and, to be honest, these people flew under my radar. It was interesting to learn about their impressive careers and accomplishments, and I think it’s definitely worth it to tune in and learn more about them yourself! Also being honored are Larry Bird & Magic Johnson.
