Some might say 40-year-old Lana Clarkson was born with stars in her eyes. She dreamt of the kind of fame that would honor her natural abilities. She also wore her heart on her sleeve - her desire to become a big-time Hollywood actress was apparent to anyone she encountered. Lana's pursuit of success made her vulnerable to the most sinister of predators. A single night in February 2003 would shatter Lana's world and all who cared for her. Lana's murder led to two highly publicized Hollywood trials at which the defendant, world famous music producer Phil Spector, wore outlandish outfits and wigs as if it was his own personal circus.

Antonella Frontani"Quando le stelle vengono meno"Garzanti Editorehttps://www.garzanti.it/Un cortile che profuma di oleandri. Tre famiglie in crisi. Un incontro che cambierà la loro vita. Un romanzo di riscatto e speranza che invita a non lasciarsi guidare dall'indifferenza.«Antonella Frontani sa come far danzare le parole.» - Laura Sciolla, Torino MagazineTorino. Il buio della notte fa spazio al chiarore dell'alba, che timidamente ravviva i colori dell'elegante palazzo al numero 7 di via Armando Diaz. A quell'ora la strada è ancora silenziosa. Finché, attraverso le finestre, non arriva il suono struggente di un sassofono, che turba la quotidianità degli inquilini. O quasi. La musica, infatti, non ha svegliato la bella Gemma, abituata ormai a notti insonni, che si tormenta da ore chiedendosi dove sia Marcello, suo marito, che non è ancora rientrato. Anche il suo vicino di casa, Nevio, solleva le palpebre stanche e guarda il giovane vicino a lui con una tristezza profonda e ingiustificata. Almeno non è solo come Egle, già pronta per la sua corsa mattutina, l'unico modo per togliersi dalla testa un amore non corrisposto. Solo il figlio di Gemma, Tommaso, dorme profondamente, troppo stanco dopo una notte trascorsa girovagando a vuoto. Eppure quelle note stanno per cambiare la sua vita. Perché a suonare è un vagabondo, che vive per strada con la sola compagnia della sua cagnetta e della custodia del suo sax. Ma dietro il volto emaciato e la capigliatura incolta, c'è un uomo che ha conosciuto il dolore e forse nella musica ha trovato la via per la redenzione. Sarà lui, giorno dopo giorno, a far riscoprire a chi vive nel palazzo la bellezza delle piccole cose, come il profumo degli oleandri che circondano l'edificio. Antonella Frontani torna con un nuovo romanzo che tocca i cuori. Una storia di riscatto e speranza che invita a guardare la vita senza dare per scontato il suo splendore. Una storia che insegna a non fermarsi alle prime impressioni. Perché solo con il dialogo si creano ponti e si abbattono pregiudizi, ritrovando così la felicità.Antonella Frontani, giornalista, scrittrice e conduttrice televisiva, vive a Torino.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
This week on the pod we've got legendary improv instructor and founder of the Magnet Theater Armando Diaz! Armando talks to us about his improv journey from Chicago to New York, where he became the Johnny Appleseed of New York improv theaters—from UCB in its earliest days, to the PIT, and finally to founding the Magnet (where your intrepid hosts Ellen and Dennis trained and flourished)! Sure, this is a must-listen for improv philosophy and improv history nerds, but we've also got a lot to chew on for everyone else—including ruminations on what it means to come into your own and become an adult. Folks, this is a good one. But don't take our word for it—listen now!

"Und was macht ihr so?". "Ach, wir arbeiten gerade an einem neuen Format". "Oh, cool". ImprospielerInnen lieben ihre Formate. Jedes Ensemble hat mindestens 10 davon in der Schublade rumliegen. Jedes Theater DAS Format. Aber wer hat schon sein eigenes Format? (Suggestivfrage). Armando Diaz hat. Claudia und Paul reden über eines der bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Improformate aus Amerika. Was ist der Armando? Wie funktioniert er? Was macht ihn zu so einem fantastischen Format? Warum heißt der überhaupt so? Und warum gibt es noch keine Paul Ziehmer Show?
