Paul Sills, founder of the famed "The Second City" comedy group, dies at 80

CHICAGO - Paul Sills, one of the founders of the improvisational comedy group "The Second City," which has turned out some of North America's best-known comedians, died Monday. He was 80.

Sills died at his home in Baileys Harbor, Wis., of complications from pneumonia, said his daughter, Aretha Amelia Sills.

The troupe said in a statement on its website Monday that "the influence of Paul Sills on the American Theatre can not be exaggerated."

Sills helped found the comedy institution in 1959, along with its precursor "The Compass Players." Second City helped launch the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Stephen Colbert and Mike Myers.

"Somehow he ended up making the careers of dozens and hundreds of other people," said Jeffrey Sweet, who interviewed Sills in his book "Something Wonderful Right Away: An Oral History of The Second City and The Compass Players." "Not a year has gone by that somebody coming out of (Second City) hasn't achieved major stardom."

Even though Sills was not looking for commercial or financial success, Sweet said, he found it in Second City. The group celebrates its 50th anniversary next year with stages in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas and Canada and has a reputation for training actors who go on to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and Hollywood.

"I don't think he even particularly wanted it to happen," Sweet said. "He was never interested in product. He was always interested in the journey."

Sills was inspired by his late mother, Viola Spolin, who created hundreds of improvisational games used to train generations of actors. Sills followed in her footsteps and was known as a guru of improvisation.

He also created the New Actors Workshop in New York in 1987 along with director Mike Nichols and colleague George Morrison.

Sills' play, "Story Theatre," was nominated for a Tony Award in 1971 and he published a book in 2000, "Paul Sills' Story Theater: Four Shows."

"It was always this vision that he had that he was trying to reach for," Sweet said. "He's probably the most influential person in the theatre that general people don't know about."

One In A Million

Year: 2002
Tracks: 16

Attempting to get together the ranks of his down star counterparts, Sweden's Bosson (marked B Sahn) index plainly make the cheeky persona to make teens faint. His ill-scented rap music sound combines sluttish techno beat generation for a Euro-dance club sound. Merely he is as well a crooner, standardized to the likes of 98 Degrees.

Bosson grew up in the same town as Ace of Base and started tattle at age sestet, playing at local festivals. During his teens, he observed artists like Boyz II Manpower, Jodeci, and Babyface, and desparately wanted to perfect his vocal abilities to equate his idols.

He began recording in the late '90s and his import red ink We Live was a monumental reach overseas, enough to catch the American radio airwaves and a contend with Capitol Records. In piazza of ready American criticism in early 2000, Bosson landed circuit dates with Britney Spears and LFO, performed on the William Le Baron Jenny Bobby Jones Testify, and was Admission Hollywood's client host for the 2000 Grammy Awards. His debut American handout Unmatched in a Million was issued afterwards that year.
