PLUS SOHM MOURNS THE LOSS OF THESE LONG-TIME SOHM TEAM MEMBERS: JOHN L. SEITZ, RON C. PECK, DEREK TADASHI TAKEUCHI, AND BILLIE JEAN EASLEY-VALENZANO CELEBRATING A DECADE OF REAL PEOPLE AND THEIR REAL STORIES. This special farewell issue's cover feature focuses on Aida Takla-O’Reilly. She was a teacher, a journalist, a mentor, the youngest female pilot in Egypt at the age of 16, a leader, a mother, and a friend. In 2011, she was re-elected to serve a second term as the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (“HFPA”) overseeing the global telecast of the Golden Globe Awards, the precursor to the Emmy and Academy Awards ceremonies. The HFPA, once again, chose this hard-working, talented, and passionate orator who was uniquely equipped to lead this colorful group. A member of the HFPA since 1956, she represented Dubai and was previously the organization’s president from 1994 through 1996. Takla-O’Reilly’s second term ended in 2013 and she went on to serve as a HFPA Trustee and Advisor to the President. Also in this issue, we lost a legendary jazz singer Barbara Morrison who inspired countless audiences with her talent. She grew up in the Detroit suburbs. Her father was a doo-wop singer, and she sang throughout her young years. She moved to Los Angeles in 1971 at age 21 and worked with blues great Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson with performances on “The Johnny Otis Show.”She appeared on dozens of albums including her own and as a guest vocalist. Her albums included “I Know How to Do It” (1996) and “Visit Me” (1999). She sought to give back to the community by collaborating to open the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center in the Leimert Park neighborhood in Los Angeles, where she and local artists performed. She also went on to open the California Jazz & Blues Museum, which featured concert posters, instruments, and paintings by local artists. We also lost a woman known to fans as "The Love Goddess" and "Aphrodite of the Accordion," comedienne Judy Tenuta, who has passed away in her home in Studio City. One of nine siblings, Judy (after Judy Garland), was born in Oak Park, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), on November 7, 1949, into a Catholic family to a Polish mother, Johanna, and an Italian father, Caesar. She grew up in a staunchly Irish-Catholic neighborhood and attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she majored in theater. A straight-A student her entire life, Judy was the first of the Tenuta family to graduate college. Her interest in comedy began when she took an improv comedy class with the world-famous Chicago improv group The Second City and shortly after began opening for other comedians in Chicago throughout the 70s. Recently, the world lost one of the foremost magicians and illusionists with the death of Milt Larsen at the age of 92. In 2000, Milt was voted one of the 100 most influential individuals in the history of magic. His long and storied career included owning the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, writer for the TV shows Truth or Consequences and This Is Your Life. He worked with show business legends Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Buddy Ebsen and Steve Allen, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel, George Burns, and Jack Benny, among others. He was also considered the world’s foremost historian of the Vaudeville era. His impressive resume included being a long-time radio host and producing TV specials for ABC, CBS, and NBC. He was the creator and consultant for the $50 Million Caesars Magic Empire at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In addition, SOHM mourns the loss of these long-time team members: John L. Seitz was a Senior Writer for SOHM for 3 years. Beloved by many, John was a modern-day version of “The Great Gatsby.” He threw lavish parties annually in his Bel Air home overlooking the Getty Museum. He loved entertaining with musicians and befriended all kinds of eclectic people. John was a kind soul with a quick wit and he could catch you off guard with unusually interesting and funny stories that only Hollywood insiders could know. He was also very kind and compassionate and helped others where he could. For several years, he was involved in public relations with the Hilton Hotels and worked with many Hollywood celebrities and even past U.S. Presidents. He also was the previous owner of the local publication the Beverly Hills Courier. Under Shine On movement, Ron C. Peck was the Executive Researcher and Production Coordinator story for the critically acclaimed "Humania" Documentary focusing on homelessness and mental health crisis. As Ron described it, he led an inspired life of curiosity and learning that was touched and nourished by many people. As a young boy, he was an amateur radio operator. By high school, he was the emergency radio operator for the Kenosha Police and Fire Departments. As a young man in the Army, he served overseas during the Berlin Wall conflict stationed on NATO radio sites. Later in life and for over 30 years, he traveled the world building nuclear medicine clinics. He was a devoted husband to his wife Carol Peck for 55 years and a loving father to their three children, Tonya, Tara, and RC. His passion for the martial arts and helping others led him to form a close friendship with Olympic Judo coach, Willy Cahill, with whom he co-founded the Blind Judo Foundation. For 17 years, while Willy took care of business “on the mat,” Ron worked at the Foundation daily to secure funding and support blind and visually impaired athletes so that they could compete at the very top of their sport. Derek Tadashi Takeuchi was SOHM West Coast Digital Marketing Solution Manager on and off for 8 years and a C.E.O. of Takeuchi Galleries, an International Art Dealer, with over 30 years in the Art Business. He was a filmmaker, special events producer, and branding expert Takeuchi Galleries Art. Derek loved life and his greatest goal after generating commerce through the business world and trade was to simply help others -- that was his greatest motivation to succeed. He felt wealth is not a success, however, money is a required tool to achieve objectives. He gave his time to personally encourage and help others to believe in themselves, assisting them in learning new skills and most importantly understanding what it is to have faith and share with them that God loves them. He felt that there is no greater accomplishment than helping someone “ignite” the greatness within themselves especially when they did not believe they could ever accomplish their life’s goals. He was mentored by the founder of SOHM, Arnold Garcia for 8 years. Billie Jean Easley-Valenzano passed unexpectedly and went home to heaven on April 17, 2023. She was the Fashion, Public Relations, and Digital Media Supervisor for Shine On Hollywood Magazine on and off for 6 years. She earned a Master’s in Business Communications from California North-ridge University and demonstrated excellence in virtually every facet of the entertainment field while focusing her talents on journalism: she was employed at numerous crème de la crème entertainment magazines as a writer/ editor; she excelled as an editor and producer; and she led television, film, and commercial development for Mark Alyn Productions. In 2017, she founded Beverly Hills Fashion Society focusing on fashion, film, and finance opportunities. BHFS’s mission was to strengthen the impact of global fashion and arts. Plus, various videos of Celebrities & Famous People Who Died in 2021 – 2023 and the world lost one of the last great entertainers with the death of Tony Bennett. The upcoming 11th Anniversary issue of Shine On Hollywood Magazine will feature the Daytime Emmy Awards 2022, (the 2023 Emmys are canceled due to the current writer's strike) presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, honoring the best in U.S. daytime television programming in 2021.
