Curious about the legacy of Brenda Starr?  Learn the intriguing details of the Brenda Starr film adaptation, including Brooke Shields' passion for the role and the financial backing from the unlikely source of Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Ibrahim. Despite the challenges brought on by inexperienced financiers and unique script demands, the production pressed on with notable contributions from director Robert Ellis Miller and designer Bob Mackey. Dive into the fascinating casting of Timothy Dalton as Basil St. John, just before his career-defining role as James Bond, and the creative input from screenwriter Delia Ephron, who chose to use a pseudonym. From Timothy Dalton's Zorro-like rescue scenes to bizarre chases involving a Spanish hot dog truck, the film's blend of comic book escapades, spy antics, and absurd humor is something you won't want to miss. 

June Brigman   June Brigman is an artist known for her lovely work on comic books like Power Pack and the X-Men, comic strips Brenda Starr and Mary Worth, and for being one of the absolute nicest people in comics. Todd talks with her about her life and her work and her time teaching. He also, unconsciously, says “great” a lot. Like, a lot. I didn't count them.

Bob edited The Art Of Ramona Fradon From Dynamite in 2013. We discuss Fradon's body of work from creating Metamorpho, being the signature Aquaman artist, and doing the Brenda Starr comic strip for many years . A great discussion. 

Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are celebrating the career of comic book artist Ramona Fradon, who died this week at the age of 97. Ramona was one of the only women drawing comics way back in the early 60s, when she was the premier Aquaman artist for DC Comics, and co-created Aquaman's teen sidekick, Aqualad. Later in the 60s, she also co-created one of DC's oddest heroes, Metamorpho the Element Man. Ramona's 70s comics work included Freedom Fighters (with Doll Man, who wishes you'd stop giggling about his name), Plastic Man (Ramona's art was even seen on the Plastic Man cartoon series), and Super Friends (with your favorite space monkey, Gleek). She then jumped from comic books to comic strips with an impressive fifteen year run on Brenda Starr. And even in recent years, Ramona kept busy with convention appearances and commissions. So we spend the show flipping through a pile of old comics and admiring Ramona's art, but we're occasionally distracted by the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies, Mego action figures, Big Jim's P.A.C.K., ugly Barbie doll knock-offs, and Crazy Crabs. (Yes, back in the day, you could buy actual live crabs through mail order comic book ads. But what we really wanted was Aquaman's octopus pal, Topo...) The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

In 1958, with Hamilton Holmes, she desegregated the University of Georgia and went on to a distinguished career in journalism. Her early inspiration? Brenda Starr. “I read about her in the comic strips in my grandmother's newspaper; she read three newspapers a day.”

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today we come to the end of our epic, two-part James Bond-inspired podcast mini-series! We are discussing one B-Side film from each actor who has played Bond, made during or right before (or after) their tenure as Agent 007. We are joined by esteemed guest and first person to appear SIX TIMES ON THE PODCAST, intrepid editor and Co-Host of The Mixed Reviews Podcast Gavin Mevius!!! This second episode focuses on the most recent three Bonds: Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Craig, of course, is currently starring in his final outing as Bond, No Time To Die. The B-Sides include Brenda Starr (filmed in the mid-'80s, released in 1992), Robinson Crusoe (1997), and Flashbacks of a Fool (2008). We contextualize each film within each actor's career and within the larger Bond franchise. We spend the beginning of the episode discussing No Time To Die and marvelling at the impressive cinematography. All credit to Director of Photography Linus Sandgren, who digs into the process in this piece for MovieMaker. We finish the episode with our personal Bond movie rankings and a little bit of trivia courtesy of this piece from Parade. In between we dish on our three B-Sides, how Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan's career trajectories are extremely similar, another Dalton B-Side called Hawks, and - most importantly - sea mines!

Our first movie of Year 2 is a doozy!! Laramy and Bethany discuss the forgotten Brenda Starr from 1986... 1989... 1992???? The movie stars a young Brooke Shields and a not-so-young Timothy Dalton as they play Brenda Starr and Basil St. Clair straight off the pages of the Sunday paper. Laramy provides a background about Brenda's creator Dale Messick, they discuss the silliness of the movie, and Bethany wrestles with whether or not the movie portrays Brenda as a role model.

PRETTY BABY. BLUE LAGOON. ENDLESS LOVE. When contemplating "Brooke Shields movies," these leap to mind. Not here. Mike McPadden & Aaron Lee crack the pot with JUST YOU AND ME KID (1979), TILT (1979), WANDA NEVADA (1979), SAHARA (1983) and BRENDA STARR (1989).

Michael Tadross has played a leading role in the film industry for the past three decades. On this week’s episode, the decorated producer shares his journey from kicking around as a Brooklyn kid looking for ways to hustle all the way to the success he’s garnered today, and reflects on what those aspiring to the same might learn from his experience.  What began with a gritty eleven years as an assistant on sets eventually led to contracts with the industry’s largest production houses: Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, M.G.M. and Warner Bros. His most recent film is the Warner Bros. ‘Ocean’s 8,’ starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and Rihanna, though his list of earlier films is nearly endless: ‘Hitch’ with Will Smith; Basic starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, ‘Indecent Proposal’ with Robert Redford and Demi Moore; Brenda Starr, featuring Brook Shields; ‘Sherlock Holmes’ starring Rovert Downey Jr. and Jude Law; ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves; ‘Run All Night’ with Liam Neeson. ‘Die Hard: With A Vengeance’ for 20th Century Fox starring Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons and Samuel L. Jackson was the highest grossing worldwide film of 1995, and ‘I Am Legend’ starring Will Smith was one of the largest movies produced in New York City.  CONVERSATIONS WITH CHARLIE YOUTUBE: https://tinyurl.com/vrtzr64 SPOTIFY: https://tinyurl.com/wvjfav4 APPLE PODCASTS: https://tinyurl.com/w7n8br2 WEBSITE: www.conversationswithcharlie.com

They got divorced when Carey was only three. Her first public performance was at the age of six. By the age of sixteen, she was skipping classes to write songs and her brother, Morgan, paid for her first recording session. She finally graduated from Harborfields High School, in 1987.   89.    Career - Before Carey got her big break, she worked as a temp and juggled with a few odd jobs such as a beautician, hair sweeper in a salon, waitress and as a coat check girl. After several years of struggling, Carey began singing background vocals for the pop and salsa singer-songwriter Brenda Starr in the late 1980s. Additionally, Carey wrote four songs with Ben Margulies, which solely constituted her demo tape. Margulies was a drummer, guitarist, piano player and singer. (One of Margulies's bandmates went to high school with Mariah’s older brother) Starr ultimately helped Carey land a record contract by giving her demo tape to Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. In 1988, Mottola signed her***.   90.    In June of 1990, her self-titled album, ‘Mariah Carey’, which contained four No.1 hits were released. It was the best-selling album of 1991 and has been certified nine times Platinum.   91.    Aside from her voice, she has become known for her songwriting. Yahoo Music editor Jason Ankeny wrote, "She earned frequent comparison to rivals Whitney Houston and Celine Dion but did them both one better by composing all of her own material." Also, according to Billboard magazine, she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States. Additionally, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) lists Carey as the third best-selling female artist of all-time behind Madonna, Rhianna, maybe Taylor Swift.   92.    Open Comments:   93.    Point #1 – Divas status is earned.

(4! sequels)   104.    Point #3: Not possible without the success of Robert and Spike. Director said the project only got the green light because of the recent box office success of "black" movies.   105.    Question: What are some of your house party war stories?   106.    Television Scene   107.    #1 - In Living Color (1990–1994): [IMDB Rating: 8.1/10] Keenen Ivory Wayans (@ wasn't looking to do a TV show. In 1988, he was riding high on the success of his cult hit I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and contemplating his next movie. But he took a meeting with a fledgling network called Fox, which made an offer he couldn't refuse. "They told me I could do whatever I wanted," Wayans, 61, recalls. What he wanted was to do a show like Saturday Night Live only much, much edgier. Homey Da Clown, Homeboy Shopping Network, Men on Films, Fire Marshall Bill, Oswald Bates, Wanda, The Fly Girls — the skits Wayans and his mostly African American cast performed each week pushed the envelope not just of TV's color barrier but of TV comedy, won an Emmy and incubated the careers of stars Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez, and several members of the Wayans family.   108.    Open Comments:   109.    Question: Chapelle or In Living Color?   110.    #2 - The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990–1996) [MDB Rating: 7.9/10]: A streetwise, poor young man from Philadelphia is sent by his mother to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins in their Bel-Air mansion.   111.    Open Comments   112.    Point #1 - Will and Jazzy were supposed to do the movie House Party   113.    Point #2 - Quincy is doing the most! - Fresh Prince, a collaboration of Quincy Jones and the then-married team of Andy and Susan Borowitz, was based loosely on the life of Will Smith’s then-manager Benny Medina (and on the lifestyle of Jones’ own family) and ran on NBC from 1990-96. NBC was wary of a project starring a rapper, and the show was derided at first by some for a lack of grit. Ultimately, critiques proved ignorant, as the sitcom became part of the cultural DNA of the 1990s. “The Cosbys were affluent,” said Quincy Jones in 2015, “but the Banks’ were wealthy. I don’t think you’d ever seen a wealthy African-American family on television until Fresh Prince, and you definitely hadn’t seen a kid from the hip-hop generation until Fresh Prince.”   114.    Open Comments:   115.    Question: Why wasn't this just "Different Strokes" - Pt. 2?   116.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1990?

Meanwhile, a number of people are on her tail, including Soviet spies, rival reporter Libby ‘Lips’ Lipscomb (Diana Scarwid), and her own cartoonist from the real world Mike (Tony Peck, son of Gregory). What results is some hijinks involving capoeira, an alligator with a cigar, and Jeffrey Tambor.

Brenda Starr (1989) is good starring vehicle for Brooke Shields but it stumbles along the way for reasons that are difficult to nail down. However, Timothy Dalton is here to be awesome and attempt to save the day.

In her corporate career, Judi Schindler was a marketing executive. She is a founding member and past president of the Chicago Area Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners. She is a member of the Leadership Team of Engaging Speakers and the Advisory Board of the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. She’s listed in “Who’s Who in America,” “Who’s Who in American Women” and “Who’s Who in the Midwest.” Her book Husbands: An Owner’s Manualoffers witty, candid advice for women who want to stay married for the rest of their lives. Judi claims, "The secret to my marriage is that in all these years my husband and I have never had a single meaningful conversation." Judi is also an actor, who has been entertaining women's groups with her multi-media show on marriage for the past five years. She wrote her book in direct response to the many requests she's had over the years for a printed version of the program. "While the book is meant to be entertaining," says Schindler, "I hope readers also learn some useful strategies on how to stay married for life. Slammed doors aside, there's enormous gratification that comes with creating a family and growing old with the same person." The book is suitable for new brides, husband-seekers of any age and anyone who understands that a sense of humor is essential to a long-term marriage. Judi Schindler Fun Facts She became a skier at 50, an actor at 64 and an author at 75. She has one child, a son, who has produced six children of his own, which, she says, is "a pretty good return on investment." Her parents, both entrepreneurs, sold their businesses in the 60s, bought a Volkswagen camper and went on the road with no destination in mind. She used to create hand-sewn quilts. She majored in journalism because she wanted to be a police reporter, "like my two role models, Brenda Starr and Lois Lane." She can do a two-minute plank. She was in the same high school class as Ann-Margaret. She has been a member of Weight Watchers since 2001 and still goes to weekly meetings. She collects birdhouses. She survived a heart attack at 39, breast cancer, bladder cancer and two bouts of lung cancer. (Not fun, but worth noting.)

These artists got their start singing background vocals - Kelly Price sang with Mariah Carey; Mary Carey sang with Brenda Starr; Mary J. Blige was the in-house singer for Uptown Records who caught a break singing the hook for Father MC's "I'll Do for You"; Luther Vandross sang back-up for Roberta Flack; Brandy started out singing background for Immature when they were a band; and Whitney Houston backed up Chaka Khan (Faith Evans backed up Mary J. Blige).

With that then, it's my great, great pleasure to introduce the awesome fashionista crime writer, Ellen Byerrum. Hey Ellen, how you doing today? Ellen: I'm great Debbi. I'm so happy to be here. Thanks for asking me. Debbi: Sure thing! It's wonderful to have you on and so let's talk about Lacey Smithsonian. I had to laugh when I read your bio on your website and you described Washington, D.C. as “a city rich in history, culture, political drama and crimes of fashion”. Ellen: That is true. I absolutely believe that. Although now that we've moved to Colorado, I sometimes feel I owe an apology to Washington. I'm now living in a town, I'm living in a town where people when they dress up they have to wear their good fleece. So, that's the difference in our towns. Debbi: Oh my gosh! Well at least their wearing something interesting like fleece. Ellen: Well, yes but everybody's wearing it. Or you know, just your average gym wear because everyone here's into, you know sports, gym wear, skiing and in Washington lots of people wear suits. Debbi: Right! And dull suits at that. Ellen: I know. We just want to perk them up a bit. Debbi: Well, D.C. is hardly the fashion center of the country or the world. Ellen: Well, I like to call it the city that fashion forgot. And I also think it's the home of the congressional comb over and I often wonder why, why it is that congressmen and senators don't have the typical male baldness patterns. I think that there's a lot of plugs going on. That's just a guess, and Botox. Debbi: You might have something there. I think you may be on to something. Before we actually start talking much about Lacey Smithsonian I wanted to talk about your days as a journalist. Tell us a little about your journalistic escapades. I think I spit that word out right finally, escapades. Ellen: Yes, that's great. I was a reporter in Washington, D.C. for BNA, now Bloomberg BNA for 17 years and I mostly covered the Occupational Safety and Health Administration which is great if you're a mystery writer because you learn all the horrible ways people die on the job. Debbi: Yeah absolutely, wow! Ellen: Yeah. Debbi: It's funny how real cases like that can inspire so much can't they? Ellen: They really can and you know I was horrified to find out that people have actually died in vats of chocolate. Debbi: Oh my gosh! Ellen: You think you make that stuff up but it turns out it's real. So that was, yeah it was great and you know someone died in a vat of cherries. So, very tragic but odd you know. Debbi: It is. It's just amazing! Truth truly is stranger than fiction. Ellen: Yeah, it really is. And of course I started out on a small western newspaper. And I think the highlight of my reporting days then is when I crawled through a massage parlor window. Debbi: [laughs] Ellen: To get inside to interview the girls as it were. Debbi: Whoa, very Brenda Starr. Ellen: [laughs] Debbi: Old reference. Ellen: Yeah, it was a crazy town, so I was happy to get back east. Debbi: Well, I have to ask you what inspired Lacey Smithsonian as a character. Ellen: Well, I love mysteries and I was reading them constantly and I love women characters, you know sleuths, the detective character and they were rough and they were tough and they were smart...
