Jean Seberg made her first two films, Saint Joan and Bonjour Tristesse, for director Otto Preminger, a tyrannical svengali character whose methods would traumatize Jean for the rest of her life and career. No wonder she rebelled against this bad dad figure by marrying a handsome French opportunist. Meanwhile, Jane Fonda moves to New York, joins the Actors Studio, takes up with her own hyper-controlling male partner, and tries to define herself as something other than Henry Fonda's daughter.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey, co-producer Florence Popoff and guest Karen Bellone discuss the often avoided topics of death, dying, and the natural capability of the body. They explore deep-seated fears surrounding death, how modern society is distanced from it, and the importance of having open conversations about mortality - of humans and other animals. They also dive into the idea of conscious living and dying, the discrepancies in generational attitudes toward death, and how engaging with the natural cycles of life can expand awareness. Reflective of cultural beliefs and personal experiences, this episode encourages listeners to open up and discuss these difficult yet enriching topics.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE FLORENCE POPOFF:Website: www.gamriegardens.comInstagram: @gamriegardensMORE KAREN BELLONE:The Seventh Sense website: www.theseventhsense.orgFilm Website: www.kbfilms.comBIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator.

In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeExit strategy for dying (Karen's monthly newsletter)All the Little DeathsAllen GinsbergKaren's Episode A 'Good Death', Death Doula: Embracing Life & Mortality PART ONEIn Buddhism, death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle and an opportunity for spiritual growth. The concept is deeply intertwined with the notions of impermanence (anicca) and rebirth (samsara). Rather than being an end, death is seen as a transition, where the energy of one's consciousness continues in a new form, influenced by karma—the cumulative effects of one's actions, thoughts, and intentions. The ultimate goal is to break free from the cycle of death and rebirth through enlightenment, which means reaching a state of liberation (nirvana) where the mind is free from suffering and attachment. Mindfulness and acceptance of death are considered essential practices, as they help individuals live more fully and prepare for the moment of death with clarity and peace.Green burial is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial practices that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and minimal impact on the earth. It typically involves using biodegradable materials, avoiding embalming chemicals, and opting for natural settings like conservation areas or designated green cemeteries. The goal is to allow the body to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil, and preserving the surrounding ecosystem.Lambing season in Scotland, typically from March to May, is a busy and vital time on farms, as thousands of lambs are born each spring. This period is crucial for the meat industry, with farmers carefully tending to both ewes and newborns to ensure their health and growth. While lambing is often seen as a symbol of renewal and the start of spring, it is also a time of intense labor and long days for shepherds, who balance the joy of new life with the practical realities of raising livestock for food production.A Dream Within a DreamBY EDGAR ALLAN POETake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow —You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?

In this special episode of The Right Intention, its a celebration of the 88th birthday of Wowza, who is a transformative figure in expressive arts therapy and holistic wellness, who has spent over six decades helping people embrace self-expression and healing.Wowza embodies a spirit of agelessness and vitality, which she attributes to connecting with her "larger self" or "the beloved," an inner source of strength that transcends time and societal expectations.Reflecting on her journey, Wowza shares how she transformed a challenging childhood marked by bullying and isolation into a life of beauty and resilience. Embracing her unique path led her to win Miss Florida and become a runner-up in the Miss America pageant. By the time she reached the Miss America stage, she began to feel the limitations of external validation. When she blanked during a final question, she knew her calling was beyond pageants and moved to New York to pursue acting.In New York, Wowza trained at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg, who taught her to embrace every role authentically, integrating light and shadow. This foundation inspired her to create expressive arts therapy, a method allowing people to explore their “social roles” as characters, releasing limiting beliefs and accessing their true essence.Today, Wowza remains a beacon of unity, founding the "Church of Wow" to encourage people to see each other as living art. Her mantra, "wow," reflects wonder without judgment. In relationships, she advocates for balancing masculine and feminine energies, empowering individuals to embody their authentic selves for deeper, harmonious connections.One of her signature practices, “curtain up, curtain down,” helps people briefly embody and release emotions, fostering mindful self-awareness. In her book, The Sacred Actor: Igniting the Performance Art of Living, she invites readers to view life as a divine play, where each role brings meaning within a larger, universal flow. Her "great hum" practice—a simple daily humming—connects people to the vibration of life, grounding them in unity and love.As Todd and Wowza close, they reflect on love as a universal, transformative force. Wowza encourages listeners to embrace every part of themselves, live authentically, and connect with others from the heart. Her journey and wisdom remind us that by living from this larger self, we find freedom and harmony.Connect with Todd Tononi:Follow Todd on Instagram: @ToddTononiSubscribe to The Right Intentions for more thought-provoking conversations and insights into leadership, personal growth, and living with purpose.Connect with Wowza: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Actor-Igniting-Performance-Living/dp/B0D2P73WJ8 Hosted on Acast.

I think we have all seen the television series “Mission Impossible.” Martin Landau and Barbara Bain had leading roles in that series. Martin was also in Alfred Hitchcock's “North by Northwest,” “Cleopatra” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told.”  He won an Oscar, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for his role as Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood.” He was the head of the Actors Studio, beating out Steve McQueen and 500 others who applied. Martin acted alongside his wife, Barbara Bain, in “Mission Impossible.” Barbara won three Emmys for her performance in the show. The couple returned to television in the 70s with a British science-fiction series which they will talk about in this podcast.

TVC 663.4: Award-winning actress, screenwriter, and director Alessandra Williams talks to Ed about being mentored by Martin Landau early in her career, when she studied at the prestigious Actors Studio; how her background as an gymnast helped her later on, once she became an actress; and why she has immersed herself in all aspects of film production. Alessandra has a dual role in Lissa's Trip, the award-winning film, now available on Tubi, that is loosely inspired by Homer's The Odyssey. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bienvenido, amigo remaker, a un nuevo “Lunes de Videclub”. En esta ocasión, debatimos sobre las trayectorias de, ni más ni menos, Al Pacino y Robert de Niro, comparando su trabajo a través de las diferentes etapas de su vida y detallando sus proyectos comunes. Se desarrollan aspectos y cuestiones relativos a su origen y experiencias tempranas, a sus películas más reconocidas, y se puntúa, en nuestra opinión personal, cada aspecto de su trabajo. Si bien no nos detenemos en exceso en ninguna de las películas en que aparecen estos dos titanes, ya que buscamos una valoración más global, sí que recorremos sus títulos más emblemáticos. ¿Con cuál te quedas? ¿Qué virtudes tienen y de qué adolecen estos actores, exponentes del Actors Studio? ¿Quién ha sabido “jugar” mejor sus cartas? ¿Quién ha tomado mejores decisiones? Para responder a estas y otras preguntas, nos hemos traído refuerzos a la altura de tan magna empresa. Así, en este “Al Pacino VS Robert de Niro”, nos acompañan Vele González (del podcast “No me cuentes películas”), Iñaki Sánchez (del podcast “La Frikoteca”) e Israel Gordón (del podcast “Ecos de lo remoto”, entre otros). Junto a ellos, nuestro habitual Óscar Cabrera y, por supuesto, la mente que todo lo sabe, nuestro réferi Juan Pablo “Videoclubsero”.

Hay intérpretes que logran estar por encima de su filmografía y que consiguen hacer de su vida su mejor obra. Marlon Brando está en ese grupo. Fue la encarnación del Hollywood surgido tras el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el máximo exponente del Actors Studio. Era capaz de alcanzar la excelencia con “Un tranvía llamado Deseo”, “Julio César”, “El padrino” y “La ley del silencio” y también de convertir un rodaje en una auténtica pesadilla. Se ganó a pulso la fama de conflictivo y tuvo muchos adversarios pero su peor enemigo fue él mismo. En este reportaje por su centenario repasamos su compleja, amplia e icónica figura. Este reportaje pertenece al programa “El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga” nº 432 (15x17) y fue emitido el 23 de marzo de 2024.

About Philip's new book: NIGHT & ITS LONGINGS (On Sale: March 26, 2024; Livingston Press; Paperback; ISBN: 9781604893748) - in time for your: spring reading, mystery, and romantic suspense roundups…a brooding tale of love lost, adultery, and crime - both a love story and a mystery inseparably intertwined.  Writer Jake Garrett's world is turned upside down when the husband of his former flame, Vera, pays him a surprise, late-night visit at his Greenwich Village apartment. Instead of harboring resentment for their affair, Vera's husband has an unusual request: to help find his missing wife who disappeared from a New York City park while taking photographs.  Suddenly, Jake is thrust back into a world he thought had been lost to him forever. Jake's undying love for Vera propels his search for her through the city's night-time streets and, finally, on the remote beaches of the Carolina coast.  Night and Its Longings isn't just a story of a missing woman — it's a tale of redemption and self-discovery. Both Jake and Vera, in their separate ways, are forced to confront the most vital human questions: why we do what we do, how we make amends for a life gone wrong, and how in the darkness of night, we see ourselves in the clearest light. About the author: PHILIP CIOFFARI is the author of 6 works of fiction, including: 1) If Anyone Asks, Say I Died From The Heartbreaking Blues; 2) The Bronx Kill; 3) Catholic Boys; 4) Jesusville, 5) Dark Road, Dead End; AND 6) the award-winning A History Of Things Lost Or Broken (which won the Tartt First Fiction Prize and the D.

Hank GarrettTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Hank Garrett. Hank grew up in the rough streets of Harlem in the 1940's & 1950's. During that time he watched schoolmates die, or go to prison. Then Willie Bryant "The Mayor of Harlem" stepped in; introduced Hank to Sammy Davis Jr, and everything changed. After that, Hank began his careers in Stand up comedy, professional wrestling, martial arts, and eventually acting. In this episode we chat about his journey From Harlem Hoodlum, To Hollywood Heavyweight. That also hapoens to be the title of his new book. Hank shares stories about working with: Benny The Jet Urquidez, Sammy Davis Jr, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Dean MArtin, Buddy Hackett, Chuck Norris, Jerry Lewis Al Lewis, David Frost, and Robert Redford. Fun behind the scenes tales about 'Car 54 Where Are You?', 'Three Days of the Condor', 'That Was The Week That Was', and 'G.I.Joe'. Hank still won't name the New York mobster that gave him his first gun, or the Cosa Nostra that elped out his mom on some interesting occasions. Make sure you check out his book, and get the rest of the amazing accounts of Hank being the very first white comedian to play The Apollo Theater, touring as Tony Bennett's opener, getting kicked out of The Actors Studio, and how he repaid Robert Redford for keeping Hank from going blind! Special thanks to mutual friends Kat & Clint Howard for connecting Hank & me for this conversation.Follow Hank on social media:Twit: @MrHankGarrettInsta: @Mr_Hank_GarrettFB: Hank Garrett

Med stort våldskapital och existentiell ångest gick hans maffiaboss rakt genom rutan i 86 timslånga avsnitt. Det här är berättelsen om New Jersey-sonen som blev Tony Soprano med hela världen. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Som ung älskar James Gandolfini känslan av att stå på scen. Men för en invandrarson i arbetarklassens New Jersey är det långt ifrån någon självklarhet att våga drömma om en framtid i showbiz. Det är inte förrän han i vuxen ålder flyttar till New York som han till slut väljer att satsa på skådespeleriet. På teaterskolan Actor's Playhouse drillas Gandolfini i den så kallade Meisnertekniken, en form av method acting genom vilken han lär sig att tämja sin ilska och bli ett med sina impulser. Det här är lärdomar som tids nog ska ta honom till den absoluta toppen. Mellan åren 1999 och 2007 spelar Gandolfini rollen som maffiabossen Tony Soprano i HBO:s succéserie ”The Sopranos”. Rolltolkningen är vida ansedd som en av de mest ikoniska genom tv-historien och blir kronan på verket i hans karriär.Sommaren 2013 dör James Gandolfini plötsligt, till följd av en hjärtinfarkt, under en far och son-resa till Rom. Han är då 51 år gammal – och det är hans tonårige son som hittar honom på hotellrummet.I avsnittet medverkar Kerstin Gezelius, filmkritiker på Dagens Nyheter, och Mustafa Al-Mashhadani, skådespelare och regissör.Programmet innehåller spoilers.

THIS IS PART TWO - Listen to part one hereCONTENT HEADS UP:  This episode contains discussions of death, dying, end-of-life care, and sensitive topics related to mortality, including chosen suicide and medicalization of death and illness. Listener discretion is advised, especially for individuals who may find these topics distressing or triggering. Please prioritize your emotional well-being while engaging with this content.Also, Ali wants to note that when she asks Karen about her thoughts on suicide, she meant to make a disctinction between “chosen” suicide (when someone wants to live but they are in too much physical pain/their body is too deteriorated without hope of recovery) and “suicide under duress” (meaning due to emotional/psychological/spiritual pain, that may or may not be accompanied by an unavoidably dying body, the person does not want to live). Of course facing a death someone does not want can also be considered duress!  SYNOPSIS:What does good acting and dying have in common? In this episode, Ali discusses all things death, dying, and living as bodies with Karen Bellone, Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. They focus on the interconnectedness of life and death, the significance of conscious living, and the complexities of end-of-life care. Karen shares her experiences working with dying individuals, highlighting the challenges of the dying process, including issues related to dementia and Alzheimer's. They discuss the importance of compassionate and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, emphasizing the need for conscious decision-making aligned with personal values to achieve a good death without regrets. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the essence of embodiment and the importance of being present in the moment, trusting the intelligence of the body to embrace a richer life and ultimately a better death.  ALI & KAREN EXPLORATION POINTS:-  The concept of a 'good death,' this discussion emphasizes the significance of conscious decision-making and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, challenging societal norms and perceptions surrounding death.  -  The complexities, ethical considerations and medicalization surrounding end-of-life decisions, highlighting the need for open dialogue and support for individuals facing such choices.-  The role of a Death Doula, illuminating the profound support and guidance provided by these compassionate professionals in assisting individuals and families through the dying process, fostering a sense of empowerment and comfort.-  How our physical and emotional bodies communicate and play integral roles in the dying process, highlighting the importance of listening to and honoring the body's wisdom. -  Insights into embracing conscious living, pursuing meaningful experiences, and aligning actions with personal values to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and purpose.-  Sensory experiences shape our perception of life and death, emphasizing the significance of sensory elements in the dying process and fostering connections with loved ones.To be an angel to the podcast, click here: To read more about the podcast, click here: MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  Personal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:Transgenerational Healing Films: MORE KAREN BELLONE:Film Website: Website: The Seventh Sense BIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. She is the founder of The Seventh Sense in NY's Hudson Valley, where she is an integral part of a worldwide community that is reigniting the wisdom of death within our modern lives. She is also founder of Exit Strategy for Dying, a monthly Death, Arts and Culture Readers supporting a resource hub to educate and refocus the narrative around death and grief through the lens of arts, culture, storytelling and innovation. Prior to embracing her passion for end-of-life work, Karen has had a long career as an award-winning filmmaker and internationally collected photographer. She received a BFA in Film Production from New York University, and did graduate work with the world-renowned Actors Studio, through their inaugural program at the New School for Social Research.After training and becoming certified with INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association), Karenworked with an innovative hospice in Los Angeles where her skills as a death doula were developed and broadened. In addition to working with patients in various stages of their life journeys, she was responsible for training the volunteer staff, nurses and other hospice and medical professionals to bring more understanding, humanity and compassion into their work with the dying. She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeErik Erikson

Warning: If you prefer to watch a film with a blank slate, don't listen to this episode if you haven't seen or read Killers of the Flower Moon. While it doesn't give away spoilers or information that isn't widely known, and the film itself will be a powerful discovery given the stunning directing, acting, and musical score, it does prepare you for an unforgettable experience with a crash course on the brutal history.    Andrea and Terrell Starr of the essential Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack have been watching the rich offering of Best Picture Oscar contenders, and have a lot to say about Killers of the Flower Moon. While it was eclipsed by buzzier films like Oppenheimer and Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon is a monumental masterpiece that explains how America was founded and the forces we are up against today. No one should be surprised by Trump. Trumpism is what founded our country.    Killers of the Flower Moon reminds us of the urgent importance and power of art.

Today on the show we have legendary actor Lance Henriksen. I had the pleasure of work with Lance on my film Red Princess Blues: Genesis and if was a surreal experience.Lance has been in over 300 films through-out his remarkable career.He's mentored Tarzan, Evel Knievel and the Antichrist, and fought Terminators, Aliens, Predators, Pumpkinhead, Pinhead, Bigfoot, Superman, the Autobots, Mr. T, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal.He's worked with directors James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Sidney Lumet, Francois Truffaut, John Huston, Walter Hill, David Fincher, John Woo, Jim Jarmusch and Sam Raimi, but this is just skimming the surface.An intense, versatile actor as adept at playing clean-cut FBI agents as he is psychotic motorcycle-gang leaders, who can go from portraying soulless, murderous vampires to burned-out, world-weary homicide detectives, Lance Henriksen has starred in a variety of films that have allowed him to stretch his talents just about as far as an actor could possibly hope.He played Awful Knoffel in the TNT original movie EVIL KNIEVEL, directed by John Badham and executive produced by Mel Gibson. Henriksen portrayed Awful Knoffel in this project based on the life of the famed daredevil, played by George Eads. Henriksen starred for three seasons (1996-1999) on Millennium, Fox-TV's critically acclaimed series created by Chris Carter (The X-Files).His performance as Frank Black, a retired FBI agent who has the ability to get inside the minds of killers, landed him three consecutive Golden Globe nominations for "Best Performance by a Lead Actor in a Drama Series" and a People's Choice Award nomination for "Favorite New TV Male Star."Henriksen was born in New York City.His mother, Margueritte, was a waitress, dance instructor, and model. His father, James Marin Henriksen, who was from Tønsberg, Norway, was a boxer and merchant sailor.Henriksen studied at the Actors Studio and began his career off-Broadway in Eugene O'Neill's Three Plays of the Sea. One of his first film appearances was as an FBI agent in Sidney Lumet's DOG DAY AFTERNOON, followed by parts in Lumet's NETWORK and PRINCE OF THE CITY.He then appeared in Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND with Richard Dreyfuss and François Truffaut, DAMIEN: OMEN II and in Philip Kaufman's THE RIGHT STUFF, in which he played Mercury astronaut Capt. Wally Schirra.James Cameron cast Henriksen in his first directorial effort, PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING, then used him again in THE TERMINATOR and as the android Bishop in the sci-fi classic ALIENS. Sam Raimi cast Henriksen as an outrageously garbed gunfighter in his quirky western THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. Henriksen has also appeared in what has developed into a cult classic: Kathryn Bigelow's NEAR DARK, in which he plays the head of a clan of murderous redneck vampires. He was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in the TNT original film THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT.In addition to his abilities as an actor, Henriksen is an accomplished painter and potter. His talent as a ceramist has enabled him to create some of the most unusual ceramic artworks available on the art market today.His new film is called Alpha Rift.Nolan Parthmore was just a regular guy, hanging with friends, working his game store, flirting with his co-worker, then one day, destiny came calling. A courier delivers a mysterious antique helmet with no note or description. When Nolan puts it on, his whole world changes. The helmet comes to life and calls out to an evil demon, Lord Dragsmere, who was imprisoned by Nolan's deceased father. Nolan soon discovers he is next in the bloodline, heir to The Nobleman, destined to become a hero whether he wants to be or not. Since the Dark Ages, the Noblemen have been guardians against the 13 Devil's Apostles: dark forces escaped from hell and let loose upon on earth. Generations later, it's the heirs of these original knights that possess the power to open the Alpha Rift:the only defense against these supernatural foes.Enjoy my conversation with Lance Henriksen.

The characters team up to kill the Giantess in “Into the Woods.” Not the witch. If you read this before listening and keep that detail in mind, what follows will make a bit more sense. But after a rocky start (which is also due to Taylor's deep character flaws re: season two of The Wire), Ben, Michael, and John make a strong showing in this competition, identifying movies whose titles are complete sentences, as well as movies that contain elements that use both colorful and monochromatic palettes. And of course, it all comes down to how each will fare in the lightning round. NOTES ⚠️ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits.

This past year marked the 75th Anniversary of the Actors Studio, the nonprofit organization that has shared “truth in acting” with decades of film, television and theater professionals, including some of the biggest names in the business. This episode is the first in a series of conversations with some of those responsible for the studio's success. Alec currently serves as Co-President of the Actors Studio and had the opportunity to speak with two leaders within the institution: Co-President Ellen Burstyn, who joined the studio in 1967, is known for her roles in “Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore,”“The Exorcist,” and “Requiem for A Dream” – and also has the distinction of winning the “Triple Crown of Acting:” an Oscar, a Tony and two Emmy Awards. Alec then speaks with Co-Associate Artistic Director Estelle Parsons, who has been with the studio since 1962. Parsons earned an Academy Award for ”Bonnie and Clyde,” the second film she ever made, and has earned five Tony nominations and two Obies in her illustrious career. The two remarkable women share their stories of finding their way to the Actors Studio and the impact it had on their careers – and their craft. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
