Who is Tracy Marrow?

Who is Tracy Marrow? The Rap world knows him by his stage name Ice-T, he is a Grammy Award and NAACP Image Award winning rapper, actor, and author. He is credited with helping to pioneer gangsta rap, a sub-genre of hip hop music, in the late 1980s. As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of NYPD Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola on the NBC police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Marrow was born February 16, 1958. Although one of West Coast hip hop's leading figures, Marrow, son of Solomon and Alice,[1] was actually born in urban Newark, New Jersey, and christened Tracy by his father. When he was a child, he moved from his native Newark to the upscale community of Summit, New Jersey. His mother died of a heart attack when he was in third grade and his father died of a heart attack four years later.[2] After his father died, he went to live with his paternal aunt in California and later attended Crenshaw High School in the district of the same name in South Central Los Angeles.[3][4] After high school, he entered the 25th Infantry Division in the United States Army, an experience he has said he did not enjoy.[5]
He was previously in a relationship with Darlene Ortiz, who was featured on the covers of his 1987 album Rhyme Pays and his 1988 album Power.[6] Ice-T is married to swimsuit model Nicole "Coco Marie" Austin.[1]


After leaving the Army, Ice-T began his long career of recording raps for various studios on 12-inch singles. These tracks were later compiled on The Classic Collection and also featured on disc 2 of Legends of Hip-Hop. His first song was "The Coldest Rap" in 1982. His first official rap record was "6 in the Mornin'".
He finally landed a deal with a major label Sire Records. When label founder and president Seymour Stein heard his demo, he said, “He sounds like Bob Dylan.”[7]Shortly after, he released his debut album Rhyme Pays in 1987 supported by DJ Evil E, DJ Aladdin and producer Afrika Islam, who helped create the mainly party-oriented sound; the record wound up being certified gold by the RIAA. That same year, he recorded the title theme song for Dennis Hopper's Colors, a film about inner-city life in Los Angeles. His next album Power was released in 1988, under his own label Rhyme Syndicate, and it was a more assured and impressive record, earning him strong reviews and his second gold record. Released in 1989, The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say established his popularity by matching excellent abrasive music with narrative and commentative lyrics.[4]
In 1991 he released his album OG: Original Gangster, which is regarded as one of the albums that defined gangsta rap. On OG, he introduced his band Body Count in a track of the same name; Ice-T toured with Body Count on the first annual Lollapalooza concert tour in 1991, gaining him appeal among middle-class teenagers and fans of alternative music genres. The self-titled debut album by Body Count followed.[4] For his appearance on the heavily collaborative track "Back on the Block", a composition by jazz musician Quincy Jones that "attempt[ed] to bring together black musical styles from jazz to soul to funk to rap", Ice-T won a Grammy Award for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, an award shared by others who worked on the track including Jones and fellow jazz musician Ray Charles.[8] Controversy later surrounded Body Count over its song "Cop Killer", a song intended as a narrative from the view of a criminal killing a police officer, from the National Rifle Association and various police advocacy groups.[4] Consequently, Time Warner Music refused to release Ice-T's upcoming album Home Invasion simply because of the controversy surrounding "Cop Killer". When Ice split amicably with Sire/Warner Bros. Records after a dispute over the artwork of the album Home Invasion, he reactivated Rhyme Syndicate and formed a deal with Priority Records for distribution; Priority released Invasion in the spring of 1993.[9] The album peaked at #9 on Billboard magazine's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at #14 on the Billboard 200, [10] spawning several singles including "Gotta Lotta Love", "I Ain't New To This" and "99 Problems" - which would later be covered by Jay Z in 2007. Ice-T had also collaborated with certain other heavy metal bands during this time period. For the film Judgment Night, he did a duet with band Slayer on the track "Disorder".[11] In 1995, Ice-T made a guest performance on Forbidden by the heavy metal band Black Sabbath.[1] Another album of his, VI - Return of the Real came out in 1996, followed by The Seventh Deadly Sin in 1999.[12]
His first rap album since 1999, Gangsta Rap, was released on October 31, 2006. The album's cover, which "shows [Ice T] lying on his back in bed with his ravishing wife's ample posterior in full view and one of her legs coyly draped over his private parts," was considered to be too suggestive for most retailers, many of which were reluctant to stock the album.[13] Some reviews of the album were unenthusiastic, as many had hoped for a return to the political raps of Ice-T's most successful albums.

One of the last scenes in Gift includes Ice-T and Body Count playing with Jane's Addiction in a version of the Sly and the Family Stone song "Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey."
Besides fronting his own band, Ice-T has also collaborated with other hard rock and metal bands, such as Icepick, Motörhead, Pro-Pain, and Six Feet Under. He has also covered songs by hardcore punk bands such as The Exploited, Jello Biafra, and Black Flag. Ice-T made his first appearance at Insane Clown Posse's Gathering Of The Juggalos (2008 edition).[14].

Ice-T's first film appearances were in the motion pictures Breakin' (1984) and its sequel Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1985). In 1991, he embarked on a serious acting career, portraying police detective Scotty Appleton in Mario Van Peebles' feature film New Jack City, gang leader King James in Trespass (1992), followed by a notable lead role performance in Surviving the Game (1994) in addition to his many supporting roles, such as J-Bone in Johnny Mnemonic (1995), and the marsupial mutant T-Saint in Tank Girl, 1995. Marrow was also interviewed in the Brent Owens documentary Pimps Up, Ho's Down,[15] in which he is quoted as saying "I can't act, I really can't act", and raps at the Players Ball.
In 1993 Marrow along with other rappers and the three Yo! MTV Raps hosts Ed Lover, Doctor Dre and Fab 5 Freddy starred in the comedy Who's the Man? directed by Ted Demme.

In this movie Ice is a drug dealer who gets really frustrated when someone calls him by his real name "Chauncey" rather than his street name "Nighttrain".

In 1995 he had a recurring role as vengeful drug dealer Danny Cort on the television series New York Undercover, which was co-created by Dick Wolf. His work on the series earned him the 1996 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. In 1997, Marrow co-created the short-lived series Players, which was produced by Wolf. This was followed by a role as pimp Seymour "Kingston" Stockton in Exiled: A Law & Order Movie (1998). These collaborations led Wolf to add Marrow to the cast of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Since 2000 he has portrayed Odafin "Fin" Tutuola, a former undercover narcotic officer transferred to the Special Victims Unit. In 2002, the NAACP awarded Marrow with a second Image Award, again for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, for his work on Law & Order: SVU. His participation in this series is somewhat ironic, given the early controversy surrounding his group Body Count with their song "Cop Killer". Marrow also appears in the movie Leprechaun: In the Hood. He once was presenter on Channel 4's Baaadasss TV.
In 1999, Marrow starred in the HBO movie Stealth Fighter as a United States Naval Aviator who fakes his own death, steals a F-117 stealth fighter and threatens to destroy United States military bases. This movie is often criticized for its poor script, military inaccuracies, and significant use of footage from other movies.[16]. He also acted in the movie Sonic Impact, released the same year.
Marrow voiced Madd Dogg in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as well as Agent Cain in Sanity: Aiken's Artifact. He also appears as himself in Def Jam: Fight for NY and UFC: Tapout fighting video games.
Marrow made an appearance on Chappelle's Show as himself presenting the award for "Player Hater of the Year." He was dubbed the "Original Player Hater."
At WrestleMania 2000, Marrow performed his song "Pimpin Ain't Easy" during The Godfather and D'Lo Brown's entrance.
He also played as Hamilton in a 2001 thriller film named 3000 Miles to Graceland.
Beyond Tough, a 2002 documentary series aired on Discovery Channel about the world's most dangerous and intense professions, such as alligator wrestlers and Indy 500 pit crews, was hosted by Marrow.[17]
In 2007, he appeared as a celebrity guest star on the MTV sketch comedy show Short Circuitz. Also in late 2007, Marrow appeared in the short-music film "Hands of Hatred" which can be found online.


On October 20, 2006 Ice-T's Rap School aired and was a reality television show on VH1. It was a spin-off of the British reality show Gene Simmons' Rock School, which also aired on VH1. In Rap School, rapper/actor Ice-T teaches eight teens from York Preparatory School in New York City how to become a real hip-hop group called the "York Prep Crew" ( "Y.P. Crew" for short). Each week, Ice-T gives them assignments and they compete for an imitation gold chain with a microphone on it. On the season finale on November 17, 2006, the group performed as an opening act for Public Enemy.
Ice-T also made an appearance on NBC’s new game show "Celebrity Family Feud" on June 24th 2008. In the show Ice-T and Coco teamed up in a competition against Joan and Melissa Rivers to compete for their favorite charity. The Rivers family won their round.
Ice-T also made an appearance in a reality television show in the early 2000s, an episode of the MTV show, Cribs.


He has condemned the alleged involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency in drug trafficking (in connection with the Iran-Contra scandal, as documented in the Kerry Committee report and elsewhere[18]) on tracks such as "This One's for Me" and "Message to the Soldier", and in sections of his book.
He was criticized for misogyny in his lyrics, and this has deterred some people from supporting him. In The Ice Opinion, he claimed that he was a feminist insofar as he believed in equal pay for women and equal rights generally. He argued against the position that being a stripper or a model is demeaning to women by an analogy with a man who considers a gay man to be demeaning all men by his actions, arguing that if the latter feeling is untenable, the former is as well.
The track "Escape from the Killing Fields" expressed a difference in views from rappers like Redman and Ice Cube
in that Ice-T did not see any virtue in staying in the ghetto, but rather encouraged Black people to leave the ghetto. The last track on O.G. Original Gangster is a spoken-word opposition to the Gulf War and to poor conditions in prisons. After Born Dead in 1994, Ice-T's music has contained much less political commentary than before.
In 1994, Ice-T wrote a book titled The Ice Opinion: Who Gives a Fuck?.[2] The purpose of the 199-page book was to respond to questions about his political beliefs, his life and the controversy surrounding his music. Having often voiced controversial statements about corruption, he goes into detail about his suspicions of police/CIA involvement in drug trafficking and of how certain businesses profit from prison-building.

On June 17, 2008, Ice-T appeared on DJ Cisco's Urban Legend mixtape, speaking against Soulja Boy Tell 'Em

and Hurricane Chris in relation to hip-hop's criticized status.
On June 23, 2008, Ice-T responded to Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's video response, where he apologized against Hurricane Chris for the comments, saying that the comments were made "in anger" and that Hurricane isn't really in the beef. As for Soulja Boy, Ice-T apologized for the "eat a dick" comment, but continued to state that Soulja Boy's music is garbage. He also makes it clear that he isn't trying to set off a war against the Dirty South. Instead, he said: "If any war (is going to start), it's gonna be good hip-hop versus whack hip-hop, you understand what I'm saying? And if there has to be a war on that battlefield, I'm proud to be the general, nigga." [19][20]. At the end of the video, Ice-T's 16-year-old son appeared, repeating his father's "eat a dick" comment.

Since the Soulja Boy Tell 'Em comments, many hip hop artists have commented on the situation. Artists such as Kanye West[21] and 50 Cent have voiced their agreement with Soulja Boy's reaction. Other artists, such as, Spice 1,[22] Method Man, and Snoop Dogg, have decided to affiliate themselves with Ice-T in this situation and, more recently, underground emcee Apathy made remixes of the singles "Swagga Like Us" (featuring Jay-z, T.I., Kanye West, Li'l Wayne) and "Love Lockdown" (featuring Kanye West),

Who is Megan Denise Fox? Fhe world knows her as Megan Fox, she is an American film and television actress and former model. After a successful career as a model, Fox launched her acting career in 2001 with a supporting role as Brianna Wallace in Holiday in the Sun, starring opposite Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.

In 2008, FHM readers voted her the "Sexiest Woman in the World".[1] and she was ranked #1 on Moviefone's "The 25 Hottest Actors Under 25".[2]


Fox is of Irish, French and Native American ancestry[3] and was born May 16, 1986 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to Darlene Tonachio and Franklin Foxx, who dropped an "x" from his surname.[4] She has one older sister.[4] Fox's parents divorced when she was young and she and her sister were raised by her mother and her stepfather.[4][5][6] She said that the two were "very strict"[5] and that she wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend.[4][5] She lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself.[5] Fox has also spoken of how poor she was when she was growing up and how she had to make her own toys.[7]

Fox began her training in drama and dance at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee.[8] She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School's chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. When Fox was 13 years old, she began modeling.[7] At 10 years of age, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training.[9][10] Fox attended Morningside Academy, a private Christian school, for her middle school years and finished her high school education at St. Lucie West Centennial High School, though at 17 she was tested out of school via correspondence.[9]

At 16, Fox made her acting debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun, as spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart (Ashley Olsen). The film was released Direct-to-DVD on November 20, 2001. The following year, Fox landed the lead main role as Ione Star on the television series Ocean Ave. The series lasted two seasons, from 2002-2003 and Fox appeared in 122 one-hour-long episodes.

In the same year, Fox made her film debut in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen co-starring opposite Lindsay Lohan, playing the supporting role of Carla Santi, a rival of Lola (Lindsay Lohan). Again in 2004, Fox was cast as a recurring role on the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski, replacing Nicole Paggi in the role. Fox appeared in 36 episodes from seasons 2 to 3, until the show was cancelled in 2006.[11]

In 2007, Fox won the lead female role of Mikaela Banes in the 2007 live-action film Transformers, based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. Fox played the love interest of Shia LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky. Fox was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the category of "Breakthrough Performance", and was also nominated for three Teen Choice Awards, in the category of "Choice Movie Actress: Action Adventure", "Choice Movie: Breakout Female", and "Choice Movie: Liplock".[12] Fox has signed on for two more Transformers sequels.[11][13] In June 2007, Fox was cast in a minor role in How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, starring alongside Jeff Bridges, Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst. She portrayed Sophie Maes, a love interest of Sydney Young (Simon Pegg). The film premiered on October 3, 2008, but was considered a box-office failure[14][15]. In 2008, Fox appeared alongside Rumer Willis as the character Lost in Whore. The film centers around a group of young hopeful teenagers who have come to Hollywood in the hopes of an acting career find that the business is harder than they had ever imagined. The film was released October 20, 2008.[16]

Fox will have her first lead role in a film, playing the title character in Jennifer's Body, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody.[17]
She will play Jennifer Check, a mean-girl cheerleader cursed by a demonic possession who begins to feed off the boys in a Minnesota farming town.[18] The film is set to be released on September 18, 2009.[19] In addition to Seyfried, Fox also stars alongside Adam Brody. Fox reprised her role as Mikaela Banes in the Transformer sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There was some controversy surrounding Fox's appearance while filming the sequel of Transformers when Michael Bay,
the movie's director, ordered the actress to gain 10 pounds.[20] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiered on June 8, 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. The movie was released worldwide on June 24, 2009.[21]


In April, 2009 Fox began filming Jonah Hex, in which she will portray Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and Jonah Hex's (Josh Brolin) love interest. The film, currently in production, is set to be released on June 18, 2010. The movie stars Josh Brolin and Will Arnett,[22] and Fox described her role in the film as being a cameo.[23] In early April, 2009 Fox signed on to star as the lead female role in the up-coming 2011 film The Crossing. The film is still in pre-production. The plot centers around a young couple who get caught up in a drug trafficking scheme during their vacation to Mexico.[24][25] In March 2009 Variety reported that Fox was set to star as the lead role of Aspen Matthews in the film adaption of the comic books Fathom which she will also co-produce with Brian Austin Green.[26] Fathom is currently in pre-production.[27]

Fox has said during an interview with Times of London, on the topic of being a role model that: “It depends on what your idea of a role model is,” and continued with, "If your idea of a role model is somebody who’s gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I’m not a role model. But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah.”[28] Fox said in the same interview, on the topic of being type-cast that: “Getting typecast as what? Attractive? How bad is that?”. She feels that it isn't a bad thing to be type-cast in this way and considers it to be flattering. She also believes that it gives her an advantage because people will not expect her to be more than simply attractive and when she does give a good performance, people will be surprised. [28] Fox has shown interest in portraying a character less sexualized than that of Mikaela Banes, whom she portrays in the Transformers film series.[29]

Fox said of being a popular media topic that, though she's not on the same level as Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears, or Lindsay Lohan, she does find it difficult and that there have times when people have avoided being around her because they don't want to end up in the media's spotlight. "I need to behave in a way and handle myself in a way that will cause people to take me seriously," and "you can be sexy and be intelligent and be taken seriously, or you can be sexy and you can be out at clubs every night and not be [taken seriously]." but remarked that she hasn't gone "completely insane".[29] Fox also said of going from being "relatively unknown" to her current celebrity status that: "I definitely feel ill-prepared; I mean, I don't know if anyone ever sits back and goes, 'Now is the moment that I think I should be a famous celebrity,' -- but I definitely feel it's premature. I mean, I was in one movie that people have seen."[29]

Fox has appeared on the covers of many magazines. In 2007, she appeared in Maxim;[30] in 2008, the list had grown to include Cosmo Girl,[31][32] Paw Print,[33] Jack (ITALY),[34] FHM (UK),[35] and GQ.[36][37] In 2009, the list includes, USA Weekend,[38] Esquire,[39] Empire,[40] Maxim,[41] GQ (UK),[42] Entertainment Weekly[43] and ELLE.[5] Fox was ranked #17 on interview magazines Hollywood faces to watch "Future Stars of Tomorrow", ranked #16 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2008 list, named #68 in FHM magazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006" supplement, ranked #18 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list, she was ranked #1 on Moviefone's 'The 25 Hottest Actors Under 25' in 2008, and was ranked #2 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2009 list in 2009. FHM readers voted her the "Sexiest Woman in the World" in 2008.[1][2]


Fox has often been compared to actress Angelina Jolie, with the media dubbing her as "next Angelina Jolie".[44][45][46] Fox has been compared to Jolie because they each have a "tattoo collection", and status as a "built in sex-symbol".[47][48][49] Fox commented that the comparisons indicate a lack of creativity on the part of the media, and are simply due to the dark hair and tattoos that she and Jolie have, and that both have been in action movies. There were several unconfirmed rumors that Fox was to replace Jolie in the next Lara Croft film. [50][51][52] Fox also said of the comparisons that: "I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joked about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her."[53] Fox said of meeting Jolie that she hadn't had the opportunity to but that she tries "to avoid that because I'm afraid," because "she's a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive."[50][54] Fox also continued with and remarked that, "I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the fuck is this little bullshit brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?' I don't want to meet her. I'd be embarrassed."[47][55]


Fox has eight known tattoos,[56] including her ex-fiancé's name "Brian" on her lower hip and a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm.[57] Fox also has another tattoo on her right shoulder that reads, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" a line adapted from William Shakespeare's play King Lear, a yin and yang tattoo on her left inner wrist, a poem on the left side of her rib cage that reads "there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART," and a Chinese word for "strength" on her neck.[58] Fox also has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star on the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle. This tattoo is the only known colored tattoo that Fox has.[59]

Fox said she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo because, "she was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn't know why when I was younger but had my own theories" and that Fox has always "empathized" with her.[60] Fox had shown interest in getting her yin/yang tattoo remarking that the tattoo artist "didn't do it correctly" because he was distracted, however, Fox still has that tattoo as of August, 2009.[60] Fox has said of her tattoos that when she gets a tattoo that "It's a little 'fuck you' to anyone who tells me not to."[61]

In late May, 2009 when Fox was at John F. Kennedy International Airport, she told paparazzi that she planned to get another tattoo, which confirmed previous plans to get a sleeve tattoo on her right arm.[62] It was widely reported that Fox and her mother, Darlene, had come to a strong disagreement and argued over Fox's tattoos in general, but particularly Fox's plan for a sleeve tattoo.[63][64][65] Fox's mother Darlene had said that she has never understood Fox's interest in tattoo's. The National Enquirer reported that after each new tattoo Fox got, Darlene pleaded with Fox not to get anymore. She felt that when Fox is a "40-year-old woman wanting to play more mature roles, people won’t hire her because it will be too hard to cover her tattoos.”[66]


Fox has been involved with actor Brian Austin Green since 2004, having first met on the set of Fox's show Hope & Faith.[67][68] It was reported that the couple had ended their relationship in July 2008[69][70] and in February 2009;[71][72] however, Fox and Green both confirmed on both occasions that the two are still in a relationship.[67][73] On June 15, 2009 at the UK premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox stated that she was single; [74] however, she was later seen with Green and the media is reporting that the two are in a relationship again.[75]

Fox has spoken extensively of her time in education; that in middle school she was bullied and picked on and she ate lunch in the bathroom to avoid being "pelted with ketchup packets". Fox said that the problem was not her looks, but that she had "always gotten along better with boys,” and that “rubbed some people the wrong way.”[76] Fox also said of high school that she was never popular and that "everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn’t like me for that. I’ve had only one great girlfriend my whole life."[76] Fox said in the same interview that she hated school and has never been "a big believer in formal education" and that "the education I was getting seemed irrelevant. So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it."[76]



Fox is good friends with Jennifer Blanc, Kellan Rhude, Jennifer's Body co-star Amanda Seyfried, Michael Biehn and Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf.[77] She is both a fan of comic books, anime, and video games, and has said that her interest in art began at 12 years old, when she watched animated shows on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.[76] Fox's favorite artist is Michael Turner whose Fathom comic she describes as a longtime obsession.[5] Fox has two dogs, including a Pomeranian named after the punk-icon Sid Vicious.[77][78] Fox has openly stated that she's taken drugs, and that it has meant she knows she doesn't like them, adding that she knows a few people who aren't on drugs, herself included.[79][80][81] Fox has also openly stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, saying that she does not consider it a drug and that she would be first in line to buy a pack of joints.[82][83][84][85][86]

Fox has said that she is bisexual. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Fox claimed that when she was 18 years old she fell in love and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper. Fox used the experience to illustrate her belief that, "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes."[87] In May, 2009 Fox confirmed her bisexuality.[88] On June 15, 2009, at the UK premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox said that she has a crush on Cheryl Cole and that she loves Cole's tattoos.[89] During an appearance in June 2009 on the The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Fox stated that she is interested in Korean pop singer Rain.[90][91][92] In an interview with GQ magazine Fox showed interest in Olivia Wilde.[93][94]
