San Diego Movie Stars & Celebrities

San Diego has trained, educated, prepared, groomed, and pampered hundreds of actors, actresses, directors, writers, and crew members ever since movies began. In addition to being born or raised here, San Diego stars have utilized the area as a place for R&R, an access route to Tijuana during prohibition, a horseracing destination, a land investment opportunity, and as a place to work in live theater. Some were the children of pioneers or military personnel, others attended college here or appeared in Old Globe Theatre or La Jolla Playhouse productions. Many simply went to school here and then left town, while still others either couldn’t stay away or chose San Diego as a retirement destination.

Lew Wallace (1827-1905) was by turns a lieutenant in the Mexican-American War, a member of the Indiana state legislature, a major-general in the Civil War, governor of the New Mexico territory, best-selling novelist, and ambassador to Turkey. His wife Susan was a successful author in her own right.

http://www.civilwarhome.com/wallacebio.htm

Although he would have much preferred to be remembered as a highly successful military hero, Lew Wallace has been thwarted in this ambition and is best known as an author. Born in Indiana, he had worked as a clerk and early displayed a fascination for Mexico which would affect him in later years. During the Mexican War he served as a second lieutenant in the lst Indiana but saw only minor action. In 1849 he was admitted to the bar in his native state and seven years later entered the state senate.
With the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services, and his assignments included: adjutant general of Indiana (April 1861); colonel, 11th Indiana (April 25, 1861); colonel, 11th Indiana (reorganized August 31, 1861); brigadier general, USV (September 3, 1861); commanding 3rd Division, District of Cairo, Department of the Missouri (February 14-17, 1862); major general, USV (March 21, 1862); commanding 3rd Division, Army of the Tennessee (February 17-June 1862); commanding 8th Corps, Middle Department (March 22, 1864-February 1,1865 and April 19-August 1, 1865); and also commanding the department (March 22, 1864-February 1,1865 and April 19-June 27, 1865).
His career got off to a promising start when he routed an inferior Confederate force at Romney, Virginia. Promoted to brigadier general, he was given charge of a newly organized division in the midst of the operations against Fort Donelson and was soon rewarded with a second star. However, that spring his reputation plummeted after the battle of Shiloh. On the first day his division was stationed north of the main army at Crump's Landing, and a series of contradictory orders from Grant forced him to countermarch his command and delayed his arrival on the main battlefield until the fighting was nearly over. He redeemed himself on the second day, but a scapegoat was needed for the near disaster the day before and this was Wallace. Sent home to await further orders, he offered his services to Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton and, despite his high rank, took temporary command of a regiment during the emergency posed by Kirby Smith's invasion of Kentucky. With Cincinnati threatened, Wallace was placed in charge of a mostly civilian defense force. Through a show of tremendous energy he was able to save the city without a major fight. He was then head of the commission which examined Buell's handling of the invasion and other boards until placed in charge in Maryland in early 1864. There he bought valuable time for the defenders of Washington during Early's drive into the state when he made a stand at Monocacy with an inferior scratch force.
At the close of the war he sat on the court-martial which tried the Lincoln conspirators and presided over that which sent Andersonville chief Henry Wirz to the gallows. He then joined a movement to aid the Juarez forces against Maximilian in Mexico. He tried to raise money and troops and even accepted the title of major general from the Juarez group. On November 30, 1865, he resigned from the U.S. service, but his Mexican venture collapsed and he realized little of the money which he had hoped to gain from it. In later years he was governor of the New Mexico Territory and a diplomat to Turkey. As a prolific writer, who often drew upon his own experiences, he is best remembered for Ben Hur.- A Tale of the Cbrist, one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century.

Joseph P. Allen, Ph.D. (born June 27, 1937) is a NASA astronaut.

Allen was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on June 27, 1937. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Allen III, reside in Frankfort, Indiana. He attended Mills School and is a graduate of Crawfordsville High School in Indiana; received a bachelor of arts degree in mathematics and physics from DePauw University in 1959, and a master of science degree and a doctor of philosophy degree in physics from Yale University in 1961 and 1965, respectively.

Allen is arried to the former Bonnie Jo Darling of Elkhart, Indiana. Her mother, Mrs. W. C. Darling, resides in Elkhart. Their children are David Christopher, born September 1968 and Elizabeth Darling, born May 1972. His hobbies include handball, squash, flying, sailing, skiing, music, and photography.

Allen is a member of several organizations, including the American Physical Society, the American Astronautical Society, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Phi Beta Kappa, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Xi, and Phi Eta Sigma.

Allen has been awarded many special honors: Winner of a Fulbright Scholarship to Germany (1959-1960), the Outstanding Flying Award, Class 69-06, Vance Air Force Base (1969), two NASA Group Achievement Awards (1971 and 1974) in recognition of contributions to the Apollo 15 Lunar Traverse Planning Team and for subsequent work on the Outlook for Space Study Team; presented the 1972 Yale Science and Engineering Association Award for Advancement of Basic and Applied Science, the DePauw University Distinguished Alumnus Award (1972), a NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal (1973), a NASA Exceptional Service Medal (1978), and a NASA Superior Performance Award (1975 and 1981), an honorary doctor of science from DePauw University (1983), and the Komarov Diploma from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale.

Allen was a research associate in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington prior to his selection as an astronaut. He was a staff physicist at the Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Yale University in 1965 and 1966, and during the period 1963 to 1967, served as a guest research at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

He has logged more than 3,000 hours flying time in jet aircraft.

Dr. Allen was selected as a scientist-astronaut by NASA in August 1967. He completed flight training at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma. He served as mission scientist while a member of the astronaut support crew for Apollo 15 and served as a staff consultant on science and technology to the President's Council on International Economic Policy.

From August 1975 to 1978, Dr. Allen served as NASA Assistant Administrator for Legislative Affairs in Washington, D.C. Returning to the Johnson Space Center in 1978, as a senior scientist astronaut, Dr. Allen was assigned to the Operations Mission Development Group. He served as a support crew member for the first orbital flight test of the Space Transportation System and was the entry CAPCOM for this mission. In addition, in 1980 and 1981, he worked as the technical assistant to the director of flight operations.

Dr. Allen served as mission specialist on STS-5, the first fully operational flight of the Shuttle Transportation System, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 11, 1982. He was accompanied by Vance D. Brand (spacecraft commander), Col. Robert F. Overmyer (pilot), and Dr. William B. Lenoir (mission specialist). STS-5, the first mission with four crewmembers, clearly demonstrated the Space Shuttle as fully operational by the successful first deployment of two commercial communications satellites from the Orbiter's payload bay. The mission marked the first use of the Payload Assist Module (PAM-D), and its new ejection system. Numerous flight tests were performed throughout the mission to document Shuttle performance during launch, boost, orbit, atmospheric entry and landing phases. STS-5 was the last flight to carry the Development Flight Instrumentation (DFI) package to support flight testing. A Getaway Special, three Student Involvement Projects, and medical experiments were included on the mission. The STS-5 crew successfully concluded the 5-day orbital flight of Space Shuttle Columbia with the first entry and landing through a cloud deck to a hard-surface runway and demonstrated maximum braking. STS-5 completed 81 orbits of the Earth in 122 hours before landing on a concrete runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on November 16, 1982.

Dr. Allen was a mission specialist on STS 51-A, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 8, 1984. He was accompanied by Captain Frederick (Rick) Hauck (spacecraft commander), Captain David M. Walker (pilot), and fellow mission specialists, Dr. Anna L. Fisher and Commander Dale H. Gardner. This was the second flight of the Orbiter Discovery. During the mission the crew deployed two satellites, Canada's Anik D-2 (Telesat H) and Hughes' LEASAT-1 (Syncom IV-1), and operated the 3M Company's Diffusive Mixing of Organic Solutions experiment. In the first space salvage attempt in history the crew successfully retrieved for return to Earth the Palapa B-2 and Westar VI communications satellites. STS 51-A completed 127 orbits of the Earth in 192 hours before landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 16, 1984. With the completion of this flight Dr. Allen logged a total of 314 hours in space.

Allen is currently President of Space Industries, Houston, Texas.

Metzelaars Begins New Phase of NFL Career With Colts
INDIANAPOLIS – This wasn’t what Pete Metzelaars originally had in mind throughout his decade and a half as an NFL player.

After seeing first-hand what coaches went through? How hard they worked?

The 14-to-16 hour days during the season?

“I was like, ‘Man, I don’t know if I’d ever want that,’’’ Metzelaars said with a laugh recently.

How times change.

Metzelaars, a 16-year NFL veteran, retired from his NFL playing career following the 1997 season. After four years coaching high school, and two years searching for a way back into the league, he recently was hired as the Colts’ offensive quality control coach.

Back to the NFL.

And back to 14-to-16 hour days during the season.

“This is where I want to be,” Metzelaars said.

Metzelaars, who played tight end with the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions, spent last season’s training camp with the Colts as part of an interim coaching program. When tight ends coach Chris Foerster left for Miami after this past season, quality control assistant Ricky Thomas moved into Foerster’s position, making room for Metzelaars.

“He was very impressive when he worked in our summer camp in the intern program,” Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy said. “He also played tight end and had a real nice relationship with (then-rookie) Dallas Clark. He just brings a great work ethic. He’s a guy who has been in a lot of playoff games and brings a winning attitude.

“We’re excited to have him here.”

Metzelaars said he’s excited, too. After retiring from the Detroit Lions in 1997, he spent four seasons coaching high school. The experience convinced him he enjoyed coaching, convincing him at the same time he wanted a bigger challenge.

“It really whet my appetite as a coach,” Metzelaars said. “I started pursuing whatever avenues I needed to get my foot in the door in coaching at this level. I wanted to coach the best of the best, the best athletes, guys who were able to do things I asked people to do.

“In high school, it was dealing with the frustrations of guys who couldn’t do what I asked them to do just because they couldn’t physically do it. I said, ‘I have this knowledge and theoretically this ability to teach it.’

“I felt a little frustrated and wanted to go deeper with it.”

Going deeper means going back to work. As a quality control coach, Metzelaars will be breaking down film, scouting future opponents and assisting offensive line coach Howard Mudd at times. It’s the entry level position on an NFL staff, but Metzelaars said he’s been in a similar situation before.

In 1982, Metzelaars was an third-round draft choice by the Seattle Seahawks out of tiny Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind. Metzelaars was an All-American in both football and basketball at Wabash, and said his first few years in the NFL were an adjustment period.

“I feel like I’ll approach coaching the same way I did as a player,” Metzelaars said. “I’m here. I’m going to work hard and I’m going to work until I get done what I need to get done. There’s not really a time frame. I’m just going to get done what I need to get done.

“I’m trying to be very detail-oriented. That’s what I tried to do as a player. I did what needed to get done, however long it took to do it, whether it was studying film or the game plan or paying attention to all the little details.”

Metzelaars, who led Wabash to a Division III national title in basketball, holds the NFL record for games played by a tight end (235). He caught 383 passes for 3,686 yards and 29 touchdowns in 16 seasons, catching Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly’s first career NFL touchdown pass and catching the first touchdown pass in Carolina Panthers history.

Metzelaars played in 169 consecutive NFL games, and was a Pro Bowl alternate in 1988 and 1993, playing on eight playoff teams. He also played in four Super Bowls as a member of the Bills from 1990-1993.

“I have an incredible amount to learn,” Metzelaars said. “That’s an exciting part of it. As far as computers, the breakdown, the input – there’s that end, but there’s also an incredible amount to learn about how NFL coaching staffs work. What goes into game-planning? What goes into film study? What goes into evaluating players?”

“I get a great opportunity to learn how the offensive line works, how you coach those guys. Howard’s one of the best offensive line coaches in the league. He actually was my first coach years and years ago, so the opportunity to learn what all goes into it is really exciting.”

One of Metzelaars' first duties with the Colts was to assist putting in the playbook for next season.

“We’re walking through the playbook and making changes that needed to be made,” he said. “To a player, they get the new playbook and it’s, ‘Oh, wow, this stuff looks a little different.’ It makes no difference to them how it gets done. So, I’m making those changes the players take for granted and seeing how the staff evaluates everything.

“You see all the tweaking and the new things they did last season.”

Metzelaars figures the toughest part may not be the preseason work, or even the long hours a coach works during the season. The toughest part may be game days.

“That could be frustrating,” he said, laughing. “The tough part may be to have the buildup to the game emotionally and mentally, then leaving it in someone else’s hands to go out and do it.

“To be on the sidelines going, ‘No, what did he do? That’s not what I told him all week long.’ That will be interesting to see how that plays out.

“But I’m excited about it and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
