'''George Hamilton''' (born in Memphis, Tennessee on [[August 12]], [[1939]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[film]] and [[television]] [[actor]] and occasional film director.
'''''Eunectes''''' is a [[genus]] of non-venomous [[Boinae|boa]]s found in tropical [[South America]], commonly called '''anacondas'''.

An aquatic group of snakes inhabiting swamps and rivers, its members include some of the largest snakes in the world. Despite this, little was known about them until recently. The name ''Eunectes'' is derived from the Greek word Eυνήκτης, which means "good swimmer." Three [[species]] are currently recognized.<ref name="ITIS">{{ITIS|ID=209577|taxon=''Eunectes''|year=2008|date=18 July}}</ref>
==Biography==
===Early life===
Hamilton was born '''George Stevens Hamilton'''<!-- Note the name confusion section below before incorrectly changing the name back to George Stevens Hamilton IV --- he's not the "IV" or even a Jr.! --->, the son of Ann Potter Hamilton Hunt Spaulding ([[married and maiden names|née]] Stevens) and band leader [[George Hamilton (musician)|George "Spike" Hamilton]].<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/43/George-Hamilton.html George Hamilton Biography (1939-)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~battle/celeb/hamilton.htm 1<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> He was born in Memphis, Tennessee and lived there until the age of 12. He won many awards as a student at Palm Beach High School and was the lead in his high school's production of ''[[Brigadoon]]''. After moving to California, he was put under contract by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]], who showcased him in important films such as ''[[Home from the Hill]]'', ''[[All the Fine Young Cannibals]]'', ''[[Light in the Piazza]]'' and ''[[Two Weeks in Another Town]]''.


George's older brother William Potter, meanwhile, embarked on a career as an interior decorator for such prestige firms as [[Eva Gabor]] Interiors in [[Palm Springs]] where George also owned a home a few streets away from [[Elvis Presley]] and his manager [["Colonel" Tom Parker]], who became his good friend.
==Physical Description==
There are some debates about the maximum size of these snakes. Mehrtens (1987) states that the average adult length for the green anaconda, ''[[Eunectes murinus|E. murinus]]'', is {{convert|18|to(-)|20|ft|m}}, with {{ft to m|25}} specimens being very rare. He sets a more conservative maximum at {{ft to m|23}}. Estimates of {{convert|35|to(-)|40|ft|m}} (see [[Giant anaconda]]) are based on vague data and should be regarded with caution.<ref name="Meh87">Mehrtens JM. 1987. Living Snakes of the World in Color. New York: Sterling Publishers. 480 pp. ISBN 0-8069-6460-X.</ref> In a study of 1,000 specimens captured in [[Venezuela]], the largest was {{convert|17|ft|m}} long and weighed {{convert|100|lb|kg}}.<ref name="ENC">[http://ca.encarta.msn.com/encnet/Features/Columns/?article=sciencesnakes The Search for the $50,000 Snake] at [http://ca.encarta.msn.com/ MSN Encarta].

===Career===
The [[Wildlife Conservation Society]] has, since the early 20th century, offered a large cash reward (currently worth US$50,000) for live delivery of any snake of {{ft to m|30}} or more in length. This prize has never been claimed.<ref name="NYT">[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01EFD61139F931A35757C0A960958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all Splendor in the Mud: Unraveling the Lives of Anacondas] by Carol Kaesuk Yoon, [[April 2]] [[1996]], at [http://www.nytimes.com/ New York Times].

It was found that two scientists independently measuring the same {{convert|12|ft|m|adj=on}} plus snake showed a variation of more than 20% in their results.<ref name="Riv08">Rivas JA, Ascanio RE, Muñoz MDC. 2008.

Hamilton began his movie career in 1952. As an actor, he is often compared to (and sometimes confused with) [[Warren Beatty]]; Beatty's movie ''[[Bulworth]]'' contained a reference to this. In the mid-1980s, he starred in the 6th season of the ABC [[Aaron Spelling]]-produced nighttime television serial and ''[[Dallas (TV series)|Dallas]]'' imitator, ''[[Dynasty (TV series)|Dynasty]]''. Hamilton was a semi-regular panelist on the 1998 revival of ''[[Match Game]]''.


In 2003, he hosted ''[[The Family (TV Series)|The Family]]'', a reality television series on ABC spanning one season in 2003. It starred ten members from a traditional Italian-American family, who were each fighting for a $1,000,000 prize. In 2006, he competed in the second season of ABC's ''Dancing with the Stars''<ref>[http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancing/ Dancing With The Stars - Home - ABC.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and was voted off in round 6. At age 66 and recovering from knee injuries, Hamilton, unable to match the limber dance moves of his younger competitors, charmed the audience and judges with endearingly silly dances utilizing props including a [[Zorro]] mask and sword from his [[1981 in film|1981 film]] ''[[Zorro, The Gay Blade]]''. Hamilton is also noted for his appearances in [[Ritz Crackers|Ritz Cracker]] and [[Wheat Thins]] Toasted Chips commercials and ads with [[Stacy Keibler]], who in ''[[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]'', was his off-screen "sweetheart", with the tag line "I know toasted".
==Common names==
Local names in South America include the Spanish term "matatoro," meaning "bull killer," and the Native American terms ''sucuri'' and "yakumama."


Along with a successful movie career, his style of dress is one of the reasons why his career has had stamina and may explain his continued notoriety. At one point he was known for having 100 [[bespoke]] suits in his closet. It has been said that his favorite tailor is in Panama. His reputation as 'the real James Bond' was noted as far back as 1981 in the movie ''[[The Cannonball Run]]'', when a woman confuses [[Roger Moore]], who played Bond at the time, with Hamilton.{{Fact|date=September 2007}}
A possible origin for the common is perhaps an alteration of the Sinhalese word henakandaya, meaning 'whip snake' or ''anaconda'' is the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] ''anaikondran'', meaning "elephant killer", or ''anaikkonda'', meaning "having killed an elephant". A name first used in English to name a Ceylonese python, it erroneously was applied to a large South American boa, called in Brazil "sucuri". The word is of uncertain origin, and no snake name like it now is found in Sinhalese or Tamil. Another suggestion is that it represents Tamil. It is unclear how this name originated so far from the snake's native habitat; possibly this is due to its vague similarity to the large [[Asia]]n [[Pythonidae|python]]s.


Hamilton was a participant in Season 2 of [[Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 2)|Dancing with the Stars]] in the U.S. in 2006.
==Feeding Habits==
The [[Yellow Anaconda]] (Eunectes Notaeus) were studied in regularly flooded areas in the Pantanal region of southwestern Brazil. The data directly observed from predatory instances, analysis and examination of gut and waste contents, and affirmations of local residents and other researchers indicate the snake to be not only carnivorous but also a generalist (one who has well understanding and proficiency that can be applied to a field). The prey list analyzed and other evidences support that the E. notaeus employs both "ambush predation" and "wide-foraging" strategies, meaning that it will eat the dead and alive. Yellow Anacondas claim to forage predominately in open, flooded habitats, in relatively shallow water; most predation instances occur from June to November, when flooded areas noticeably dry out. Wading birds, at the proper times, are the most common prey selection for this hungry reptile. Yellow Anacondas also tend to prey on fish, turtles, small-sized caimans, lizards, bird eggs, small mammals and fish carrion. This extremely large prey to predator weight ratio indicates its prey has a much lower weight than those known for other types of boids (the family of non-venomous, constriction snakes).<ref> {{cite journal|title=Feeding habits of the yellow anaconda, Eunectes notaeus Cope, 1862, in the Brazilian Pantanal|journal=Biociencias|date=1997-06|first=C|last=Strussmann|volume=5|issue=1|pages=35-52.|url=http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=ENV&recid=4295289&q=anaconda+the+snake&uid=793163738&setcookie=yes|accessdate=2008-10-06 }}</ref>


In 2006, it was rumored Hamilton would replace [[Bob Barker]] on ''[[The Price is Right]]''. He did an audition and in March 2007, [[TMZ.com|TMZ]] reported that Hamilton was a frontrunner to replace Barker. At 67, Hamilton would be the oldest contender for the position, although it would not have been an unprecedented move since other game show hosts (such as ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US game show)|Who Wants to Be a Millionaire]]'' host ''[[Regis Philbin]]'') have debuted at about the same age. According to [[Reuters]], Hamilton was one of the final 3 contenders to host the show, alongside [[Mark Steines]] and [[Todd Newton]].<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSN1624240720070416 Trio remaining in Price line | Entertainment | Television | Reuters<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Soon thereafter, [[Drew Carey]] was named as Barker's successor.
The [[green anaconda]], however, is carnivorous, and will prey on any vertebrate within reach and swallow it. It is especially interested in other snakes, amphibians, fish, and mammals such as capybara. The smaller side of the species have been known to climb trees to attack and consume bird nests, while the larger of the specimens may, and usually do, prey on small deer, caimans, and peccaries. Few records show that there have been attacks on humans. However, no known deaths have been recorded. As all other snakes do, the green anaconda swallows its victim whole and, because their jaws are unhingeable, they are able to swallow prey with a diameter larger than that of their mouths. Green anacondas usually swallow prey "head-first", from the fact that this is the usual way the limbs tend to fold over. The mouth muscles of the snake then contract in waves as swallowing process continues, crushing its prey with each surge forward. Their digestive system is slow-acting, meaning it usually takes either days or weeks to digest the food. After every meal, anacondas might not eat for a while: weeks or months.<ref>{{cite news | first=Adil | last=Soomro | coauthors= | title=Eunectes murinus | year=2001 | publisher=The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology | url =http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Eunectes_murinus.html | work =Animal Divesity Web | pages = | accessdate = 2008-10-10 | language = }}</ref>


==Reproduction==
===Personal life===
Hamilton had a highly-publicized relationship with [[Lynda Bird Johnson]] in 1966, due to his status as an actor and her status as the daughter of the President of the United States, [[Lyndon Johnson]]. Their relationship eventually ended in 1967.
As all snakes do, green anacondas sexually reproduce meaning they have internal fertilization. Such a courtship, in many cases, lasts over a time period of several months. This mating period usually lasts from April to May. The female is typically assumed to lay down a trail of pheromone, which unconditionally attracts the male anaconda toward her. If that does not occur another possibility might be that the female herself releases a type of an air-born chemical indication. Such a signal is also emitted to attract the male toward her. This process is thoroughly supported by the simple observation of the mating female noticably immobie, yet multiple males gather and retreat toward her from all directions. The male anacondas also frequently ''lick'' the air in order to fully recognize chemical signals signaling the presence of the female.


Hamilton was married to actress [[Alana Stewart]] from 1972 to 1975. Their son, [[Ashley Hamilton]], was born in 1974. He has a younger son, [[George Thomas Hamilton]], with Kimberly Blackford. He is known for his close personal friendship with [[Imelda Marcos]], erstwhile first lady of the [[Philippines]].
Although it does not appear that it is necessary for there to be more than one male, quite frequently the snakes tend to grouping in a breeding ball. This ''breeding ball'' could potentially consist of up to twelve males wrapped around one female snake. The group could stay in this position from two to four weeks. This ball seems to be a type of a slow-motion wrestling match between the males; each one fighting for the right to mate with the female. The strongest and largest, of couse, often becomes victorious. However, the female anaconda, naturally physically much larger and stronger, may herself choose or deflect certain males. Courtship and copulation frequently take place in water. The gestation period for the green anaconda is about 6 months. A gravid female may feed during this period. However, males kept together during breeding season may refuse food.


In April 2006, Hamilton served as Grand Marshall for the 79th Annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in [[Winchester, Virginia]].
The male uses its spurs to stimulate the female during mating. The male presses his cloacal region against the female while scratching her with his spurs. This makes a scratching sound. The end of the courtship comes when the stimulus of the males' spurs induces the female to raise her cloacal region, allowing the two cloacas to come together. The male wraps his tail around the female while they copulate.


Hamilton is not related to [[George Hamilton IV]], the 1960s country singer.<ref>[http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Profiles/People_Profile/0,2540,61,00.html Cigar Aficionado | People Profile | George Hamilton<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
This species is viviparous, giving birth to live young. A female anaconda can give birth to as many as a hundred young, though typically the size of the litter ranges from 20 to 40. The female may lose up to half of her pre-birthing weight after birth. The neonates are usually around 70-80 cm long at birth. Because of their small size they often fall prey to other animals. They grow rapidly until they reach sexual maturity in their first few years, after which their rate of growth continues at a slower pace.<ref>{{cite news | first=Adil | last=Soomro | coauthors= | title=Eunectes murinus | year=2001 | publisher=Animal Diversity Web | url =http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Eunectes_murinus.html | work =The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology | pages = | accessdate = 2008-10-10 | language = }}</ref>

George Hamilton

George Hamilton (born in Memphis, Tennessee on August 12, 1939) is an American film and television actor and occasional film director.

Biography

Early life

Hamilton was born George Stevens Hamilton, the son of Ann Potter Hamilton Hunt Spaulding (née Stevens) and band leader George "Spike" Hamilton.[1][2] He was born in Memphis, Tennessee and lived there until the age of 12. He won many awards as a student at Palm Beach High School and was the lead in his high school's production of Brigadoon. After moving to California, he was put under contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who showcased him in important films such as Home from the Hill, All the Fine Young Cannibals, Light in the Piazza and Two Weeks in Another Town.

George's older brother William Potter, meanwhile, embarked on a career as an interior decorator for such prestige firms as Eva Gabor Interiors in Palm Springs where George also owned a home a few streets away from Elvis Presley and his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker, who became his good friend.

Career

Hamilton began his movie career in 1952. As an actor, he is often compared to (and sometimes confused with) Warren Beatty; Beatty's movie Bulworth contained a reference to this. In the mid-1980s, he starred in the 6th season of the ABC Aaron Spelling-produced nighttime television serial and Dallas imitator, Dynasty. Hamilton was a semi-regular panelist on the 1998 revival of Match Game.

In 2003, he hosted The Family, a reality television series on ABC spanning one season in 2003. It starred ten members from a traditional Italian-American family, who were each fighting for a $1,000,000 prize. In 2006, he competed in the second season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars[3] and was voted off in round 6. At age 66 and recovering from knee injuries, Hamilton, unable to match the limber dance moves of his younger competitors, charmed the audience and judges with endearingly silly dances utilizing props including a Zorro mask and sword from his 1981 film Zorro, The Gay Blade. Hamilton is also noted for his appearances in Ritz Cracker and Wheat Thins Toasted Chips commercials and ads with Stacy Keibler, who in Dancing with the Stars, was his off-screen "sweetheart", with the tag line "I know toasted".

Along with a successful movie career, his style of dress is one of the reasons why his career has had stamina and may explain his continued notoriety.

His reputation as 'the real James Bond' was noted as far back as 1981 in the movie The Cannonball Run, when a woman confuses Roger Moore, who played Bond at the time, with Hamilton.[citation needed]

Hamilton was a participant in Season 2 of Dancing with the Stars in the U.S. in 2006.

In 2006, it was rumored Hamilton would replace Bob Barker on The Price is Right. He did an audition and in March 2007, TMZ reported that Hamilton was a frontrunner to replace Barker. At 67, Hamilton would be the oldest contender for the position, although it would not have been an unprecedented move since other game show hosts (such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host Regis Philbin) have debuted at about the same age.
