dated July 08, 1954: Gabriel Pascal

Gabriel Pascal, the Hungarian-born British film producer and director, who filmed several of George Bernard Shaw's plays, died on July 6 in the Roosevelt Hospital in New York. He was 60. The cause of death was not given, but Pascal had been ill for the past three weeks. Pascal became Shaw's exclusive interpreter on the screen in 1938, when he gained the late playwright's consent to film "Pygmalion" in London. In 1941, he produced "Major Barbara", and in 1944, produced and directed "Caesar and Cleopatra." He had planned to go to India shortly to film the life of Mahatma Gandhi.
