Barnaby Conrad, Jr. (March 27, 1922 – February 12, 2013)[1] was an American artist, author, nightclub proprietor, matador and boxer.

[7] After learning of the incident, Eva Gabor is said to have run into Noël Coward at Sardi's in New York and asked him, "Did you hear about poor Barnaby?
"[6] Conrad served as a Golden Gate Awards juror at the 1959 San Francisco Film Festival.
[8][9] Conrad started the Santa Barbara Writers Conference in 1973 at the Cate School, inviting such well-known authors as Eudora Welty, Gore Vidal, Joan Didion, and Ross Macdonald.
The famous quote "Only bullfighting, mountain climbing and auto racing are sports, the rest are merely games" can be attributed to Conrad,[14] however Ernest Hemingway is often mistaken as the source.
