A benefit concert called “One to One” was held at Madison Square
Garden in New York City to help raise money for Willowbrook, a home
for the mentally challenged at Staten Island. John Lennon headlined
the concert and was backed by a Greenwich Village band called The
Elephant’s Memory. It was the first full concert for Lennon in the U.S.
since the Beatles played Candlestick Park, San Francisco in 1966. As
fate would have it, it would be the only full concerts of his solo career.

Lennon himself bought $59,000 worth of tickets & gave them away to
fans. Overall, $1.5 million dollars was raised to help improve living
conditions at the facility.

Jonathan Vincent Voight will be 75 in December

(AP) – It was Jon Voight’s portrayal of male prostitute Joe Buck in the 
1969 film "Midnight Cowboy" that put him on his path to becoming an
acting legend. Now he says he was paid a pittance for the part.

Voight says that he wanted the role so badly he told his agent, "I said,
‘Tell them I’ll do this part for nothing.’" The actor says to his surprise,
"they took me at my word and they gave me minimum for ‘Midnight
Cowboy.’"

Voight spoke Wednesday as he was promoting his film "Getaway"
co-starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez that opens Aug. 30
and "Ray Donovan," the Showtime series he appears in opposite
Liev Schreiber.

The Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor says the studio United Artists
"even sent me a $14.73 coffee shop charge," for meals his last day
of shooting for the film in Texas.
