| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Frankenstein - Plot synopsis The novel opens with Captain Walton on a ship sailing north of the Arctic Circle. Walton's ship becomes ice-bound, and as he contemplates his isolation and paralysis, he spots a figure traveling across the ice on a dog sledge. This is Victor Frankenstein's creature. Soon after he sees the ill Victor Frankenstein himself and invites him onto his boat. The narrative of Walton is a frame narrative that allows for the story of Victor to be related. At the same time, Walton's predicament is symbolically appropriate for Victor's tale of displaced ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - Doc Holliday Mythology One of the better stories about Doc Holliday never happened, although it should have—and the tale has made it into at least one movie. According to the Stuart Lake biography of Wyatt Earp (Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal), Holliday got into a fight with another gambler in Fort Griffin, Texas, and knifed the other man to death as the man was drawing a gun on Doc. Held by the law and targetted for lynching, Doc was rescued from death by Big Nose Kate, who procured horses, set fire to a building as a diversion, an ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - What Those Who Knew Him Said Of His Character In an interview in 1896, Wyatt Earp had this to say about Doc Holliday: "Doc was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a frontier vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long lean ash-blond fellow nearly dead with consumption, and at the same time the most skillful gambler and the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a gun that I ever knew."
In a newspaper interview, Doc was once asked if his killings had ever gotten on his conscience. Ho ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Frankenstein - The name of the creature The creature – "my hideous progeny" – was not given a name by Mary Shelley, and is only referred to as "The Monster", "The Creature" and "Frankenstein's Monster", or as Victor Frankenstein called his creation more commonly, "The Fiend." After the release of James Whale's popular 1931 film Frankenstein, the filmgoing public immediately began speaking of the monster itself as Frankenstein. A reference to this occurs in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and in several subsequent films in the series, as well as in film titles such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
The creature ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Frankenstein - Analysis Frankenstein is in some ways allegorical, and was conceived and written during an early phase of the Industrial Revolution, at a time of dramatic change. Behind Frankenstein's experiments is the search for ultimate power or godhood: what greater power could there be than the act of creation of life? Frankenstein and his utter disregard for the human and animal remains gathered in his pursuit of power can be taken as symbolic of the rampant forces of laissez-faire capitalism extant at the time and their basic disregard for human ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - Final Illness He spent the rest of his brief life in Colorado. After a stay in Leadville, Colorado, Holliday suffered from the effects of the high altitude, and his health and evidently his gambling skills began to deteriorate badly. In August, 1884, Doc shot Billy Allen, a man who was threatening him with a beating in the collection of a loan to Doc of just five dollars, which Doc didn't have the money to repay. According to Doc's own court testimony, given while pleading self-defense, Doc was then down to just 122 pounds in weight. Allen recovered from his bullet wound, which was to the arm (Doc had been tackled and prevented from doing worse), ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - Vendetta The lawless killing started with Frank Stilwell, who was in Tucson to answer a robbery charge, but who wound up dead on the tracks in the train yard near the Earps' train. What Stilwell was doing in the train yard has never been explained, but Wyatt Earp certainly thought Stilwell was there to do the Earps harm. Wyatt admitted shooting Stilwell with a shotgun, but along with Earp's two shotgun wounds, Stilwell was also found with three bullet wounds. Doc Holliday, who was with Wyatt that night and said that Stilwell and Ike Clanton were in t ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Dolly Parton - Business Parton invested much of her earnings into business ventures in her native East Tennessee, notably Pigeon Forge, which includes a theme park named Dollywood and a dinner show called Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. The area is a thriving tourist attraction, drawing visitors from large parts of the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. This region of the U.S., like most areas of Appalachia, has suffered economically for decades; Parton's business investment there allow her to put something back into the ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Dolly Parton - Breakout Despite originally being typecast in many circles as a "Country and Western" singer, Parton later had even greater commercial success as a pop singer and actress. Her 1977 album "Here You Come Again" was her first million-seller, and the title track became her first top-ten single on the pop charts; many of her subsequent singles charted on both pop and country charts simultaneously. Her albums during this period were more tightly produced and were designe ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - Health At birth he had a cleft palate and partly cleft lip. At two months of age this defect was repaired surgically by John's uncle J.S. Holliday, M.D., and a family cousin, the famous doctor Crawford Long. The repair left no speech impediment, though speech therapy was needed. However, the repair is visible in John's upper lip-line, in the one authentic adult portrait-photograph which survives, taken on the occasion of his gradutation from dental school (this is not the photo above, about which there ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - Tombstone Arizona Territory Dodge was not a frontier town for long, and by 1879 became too respectable for the kinds of people who had seen it through its early days. For many, it was time to move on to places where money was being made and hadn't yet been reached by the civilizing railroad. Through his friendship with Wyatt, Doc eventually made his way to the silver-mining boom town of Tombstone, Arizona Territory, in September 1880 (Wyatt had been there since December, 1879). There, Doc quickly became embroiled in the local politics and violence that led up to the fa ...

| | | | | Randy Quaid: Encyclopedia II - Doc Holliday - The Dedicated Gambler In September, 1878 an incident occurred in which Wyatt, a deputy city Marshal, was surrounded by men who had "the drop" on him. Doc, coming up from another angle to cover the group with a gun, either shot one of these men or threatened to, and Wyatt afterwards always credited Doc with saving his life that day.
Professional comic Eddie Foy was a friend of Doc in Dodge City, and remembered Doc trying in 1879 to get him to join the "Royal Gorge War", a railroad right-of-way dispute into which the Santa Fe Railroad sent a private posse le ...

He soon began gambling, and realized this was a more beneficial source of income. He was arrested in Dallas (January, 1875) after trading gunfire with a saloon-keeper, but no one was injured and he was found not guilty. He had already moved his offices to Denison, Texas. After being found guilty of "gaming" in Dallas, Texas a ...
