In the words of chief Variety film critic Todd McCarthy, Rissient is "the least known enormously influential person in international cinema," but maybe not for much longer. Two years ago, McCarthy began work on a feature-length documentary about Rissient, scheduled to be completed in 2007. And this year, in Telluride, a selection of excerpts from McCarthy's film (including testimonials by the likes of Campion, Kiroastami, James Toback and Clint Eastwood ) was shown at the grand opening of Le Pierre, a festival theater newly redesigned in Rissient's honor. The event will, I suspect , be remembered as one of the great Telluride evenings, right up there with the time Abel Gance came to town to show his silent epic Napoleon in its original three-screen projection format; or when Peter O'Toole and critic Roger Ebert engaged in an impromptu exchange of quotations by Yeats during O'Toole's career achievement ceremony; or, last year, when an 85-year-old Mickey Rooney fielded questions from the audience during a projection breakdown at a screening of the 1941 Rooney–Judy Garland musical Babes On Broadway (blogs.laweekly.com....s/2006/09/)
Mirren lost two bids in the supporting race at Oscars past: "Gosford Park " (2001 — bowing to Jennifer Connelly in "A Beautiful Mind ") and "The Madness of King George " (1994 — she lost to Dianne Wiest in "Bullets Over Broadway "). In the latter she portrayed another real queen — Charlotte , spouse to George III , but not one we recognize today. Certainly, Mirren will be nommed in the lead race next January. Can she win? Considering the shameful Babe Factor (women over age 40 rarely do), the 61-year-old dame faces tough odds, but there are so many older gals prominent in that race already Judi Dench in "Notes on a Scandal," Annette Bening in "Running with Scissors," Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada," Julie Walters in "Driving Lessons," Julianne Moore in "Children of Men," Fernanda Montenegro , "House of Sand") that it's possible they could bump out the babes altogether. Take that , you Oscar-grabbing babes (goldderby.latimes.com....y/2006/08/)
Playland was located on Broadway and I believe between 46th and 47th Street. The place was dingy, cramped, and seedy. So it was basically every child's paradise, as well as every parent's nightmare; ask any gamer who grew up in NYC and you'll more than likely get an enthusiastic "Playland? Man, I loved that place!" followed by "I had to sneak in all the time because my parents would have killed me if they knew I went there." It was such a bright and shining example of the arcade's glory days that looking back, it almost feels like a cartoony caricature: the entrance had a flashing red light, much like on the old fashioned police cars, and you could either get three I heart NY shirts for ten bucks or a fake ID made. In the back was some room where the real seedy types gathered to do who the hell know what, hence why I stayed the hell away. Even the walls themselves had character: faux-wood paneling and plastered on-top were pin-up posters of Traci Lords , Cindy Crawford , and assorted other "babes" from the 80s and 90 (www.gamesetwatch.com....7/02-week/)
The scene of their passage through the principal streets of the village was picturesque in the extreme . Long lines of wagons rolled slowly forward, creaking with a dull sound under their heavy loads. Then followed the troops of pedestrians of all ages and conditions; hunters with their rifles and tomahawks; barefoot squaws with their babes tied on their shoulders; little Indian boys leading their lean, wolf-like dogs by long strings fastened around their necks, and half-naked girls driving herds of cattle before them. Next came lines of those on horseback (these belonged to the middle class), and these too were of every variety of description: sober and sedate members of the church; half-breed braves in the wild costume of the desperado ; white gamblers, who had married Indian women; and beautiful quadroons, with whose dark and fascinating eyes and raven ringlets, still more bewitching, if possible, floating in the wind around their [p.186] fine graceful shoulders. After these followed the families of wealththe Cherokee aristocracyin their splendid carriages, many of which were equal to the most brilliant that rattle along Broadwa (www.couchgenweb.com....nhist2.htm)
The Nicholas Brothers appeared in Broadway's Sammy, a specialty concert starring Sammy Davis Jr . in 1974. Fayard appeared in the musical St. Louis Woman in 1946, and the brothers danced the specialty song "All Dark People" in the 1937 musical comedy Babes in Arms , which had racial intolerance as part of its plot. That song is no longer part of the licensed version of the Rodgers and Hart show, and a lyric-less version of it was used in the Encores! concert version that played City Center in 1999.

Weâll definitely be revisiting Jacques Kapralik from time to time at Greenbriar Picture Shows , as his caricatures (and he seems to have produced thousands of them) are the most distinctive of any weâve ever run across. The process was called "3-D Paper Structure", and he maintained drawers filled with tiny props that heâd use to decorate his canvas. Tiny shoes, jewelry, lamps, pots and pans - whatever he needed to get the effect he was after. There were facsimiles of popular brand name items, like coffee, flour, and cereals. Endless samples of cloth and yarn were used to create realistic backgrounds. Kapralik would often take six or more weeks to get out just one of his little masterpieces. MGM used him often. These are just three of the projects he completed for them, but there were lots of others. Keeper Of The Flame, Babes On Broadway , and The Hucksters will do for a start, but keep watching for (many) more of these as we come across themâ¦.

Light-eyed, sultry Vanessa Williams was the first African-American to win the Miss America crown (1983). She was forced to turn in her tiara after Penthouse magazine published nude photos of her, but she bounced back with a successful career as a singer, starting with the 1988 dance-pop album The Right Stuff and including the album The Comfort Zone (1991) and the song "Colors of the Wind " from the Disney feature Pocahontas (1995). The 1990s saw Williams branch out into Broadway and make a respectable go at the movies, playing semi-tough babes opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in Eraser (1996) and Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft (2000). She has since had a successful career in television, including guest shots, a 2003 series ( Boomtown and an Emmy-nominated role in Ugly Betty (2007, starring America Ferrera (www.infoplease.com....liams.html)
acrobatic tap dancer and singer who, with his brother Fayard, appeared on Broadway, in vaudeville, and in movie musicals. They were known for their nimble feet and extraordinary jumps and splits. Nicholas's films include Down Argentine Way (1940), Tin Pan Alley (1940), and Stormy Weather (1943). His Broadway credits include The Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 and Babes in Arms .
